Girls Camp Prep 2016

I've been helping, in smaller ways, to get ready for girls camp this year. It has been a sensitive subject in my heart- camp this year. This is my first year in Young Womens, since being a Young Woman myself and I am the Second Counselor and should be going as a leader but I have used the "mommy of small children" card this year. I am told by many that I will have other chances to go in the future and it's just too hard in the stage I'm in. I agree and that's why I told them I couldn't but since I made that decision I have seen so much planning and preparation go into it that it's hard to not want to go.

I am doing some last minute things before they head out tomorrow morning. I am putting together Pillow Treats. I found a few gems online as I searched for ideas.

I also found that the thought I wanted for the glow sticks required me to buy a download and I didn't want to so I created my own version. It may not be as glamorous and beautiful but I'm fond of my little creation.

I also wanted to give the leaders who are going a little something extra. I found this cute idea here. She cited using this other blog for the printout. That comes from here. So, a few clicks and I printed this out and attached it to a couple pairs of socks for each leader and it came to be like this.

This next one should have gone with FUN DIPS but I had them printed off and when I went to get candy, I went to 5 different stores, only finding 5 FUN DIPS and had to resort to a diff. candy. I don't think the girls will mind what candy it is but it doesn't have the "play on words".

 

I did another one, using REISEN and Rolo candies in little, tied up bags but I didn't' take a picture of them.

 

They all turned out cute and served their purpose. It was nice to help in a small way, anyway.

 

I met up with the girls and leaders in the morning and got to see them off.
