I found this amazing Celestial Airline lesson plan idea from Cher Castle via Sugardoodle. She has super cute printables for tickets and handouts and even provides a lesson outline to keep the theme going with the lesson material.

At one point she recommends having a suitcase to write What kind of things should we pack so we can enjoy eternal life?” (Examples-baptism, temple, repentance, scripture study, family etc.)

I found a perfect suitcase outline and made them to print two to a page so I figured I would share. Just click the image to make it big enough to print.

I also decided to add in a water bottle (since that is something that can’t go with you through security) to write the things that we need to leave behind and try not to do to have an eternal family relationship. Here’s a printable page.

I used to be a flight attendant so I am going to wear my flight attendant cardigan, but I was not sure where my wings were. So, I combined a couple of images to make my own Celestial Airline wings that I will wear. I’m also going to give them all wings with their handout.

I know this is last minute, but, well, that’s how I roll. I came up with this idea for Young Women lesson 4 on “Preparing to Become an Eternal Companion” tonight and thought I would share. I liked the quote from the lesson that said, “There is no time to wait, only time to prepare.” I think it is a great one for my Beehives who are 12 and 13 years old.

I wanted a candy to go along with it and thought of the Everlasting Gobstoppers. So I made another little note reading “Start preparing today for an ‘everlasting’ marriage.”

I could not find small packs of Everlasting Gobstoppers, only the movie size so I bought a couple packs and put them in these little wedding favor boxes I had from Dollar Tree. It actually ended up being a lot cheaper that way too. I printed out the handouts 2 in x 2 in and glued them on.

Feel Free to Print off the handouts and use them as you like.

I used Everyday Mom Ideas free “The Dwelling Place” digital scrapbooking kit.

I wanted something special to give our young women at our Christmas lesson. Each year we give them something that reflects the next year’s mutual theme. The 2011 mutual theme is the 13th Article of Faith so I thought it would be really cool to go with the latest craze and turn the key words in to subway art.

It was so easy to create the mutual theme subway art using wordle. I just popped in my words, listing twice the words I wanted larger. Then I played with layouts and color schemes. I stuck with black and white to keep the emphasis on the words instead of the colors. This will also make it easy to print at home without plowing through my colored ink keeping the cost minimal.

I am going to print our subway art on cardstock and put it in black dollar store frames. I may find a two sided one and put the pictures we took of our girls at the temple in the other side.

Total cost will be just over a dollar each! Yay!

Here is a slideshow I made for the 2008 lesson as my Personal Progress Faith Value Project. This was the lesson where we gave out the believe blocks. The music is “You Were Always There” from the Jenny Phillips Parables cd. I LOVE this song!
