Wizard of Oz Theme YW New Beginnings

Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life” (2 Nephi 31:20).

The idea is that we must press forward along the path (yellow brick road) until we reach home (Eternal Life).  It turned out really cute.  I have a few tutorials for decorations in this post, and my friend Kim at Life’s Journey for Perfection has the program and printables.  [Read more…] about Wizard of Oz Theme YW New Beginnings
