Girl's Camp 2013

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (yep, I'm a Mormon) and currently I work with the young women age 12-18.  They are loads of fun!  Every summer the girls participate in a Young Women Girl's Camp, typically with a fairly large group of girls.  This summer we were in charge of having girl's camp on a ward level - which means versus a 100 girls we had 13 girls. 

Smaller Group + One Great Fundraiser = Lots of Possibilities

First we chose the place, then we picked a theme.

Our theme this year was....

Lolly Jane

We took it from a talk given by Pres. Thomas S. Monson,

Believe, Obey, and Endure

Once we found a theme - the ideas were seemingly endless.

We wanted the girls to understand that instead of being overwhelmed with all that life is and can be, 

to set small goals that would bring them closer to one another, 

closer to their families, and closer to their Heavenly Father.

We created a Daily Goal board - these became our daily theme:

Friendship

Service

Humor

Gratitude

Sweet Summer Time...

Well I must admit I have certainly taken a long break from blogging this year.  That isn't to say I haven't had lots of great things to blog about.  Actually so many projects I haven't had time to blog.  BUT I have been trying to take pictures, save documents, etc. so that now that I have a little free time in the summer I can share them with you.

This summer has started out crazy but I am happy to say I am finding some down time at our lake house.

I could live here permanently - or at least I think I could!  

...so here are a few things I have been working on that I am going to get posted over the next couple of weeks...

Midnight Snacks

By far my most popular post and pinterest pin has been my Backyard Campout post.  I thought it would be nice to share the PDF for the various labels I used to go along with the party favors.

So here they are...
(For some reason when I link to them from the blog it looks as though the graphics did not come through correctly, but when you select print or download the PDF it opens perfectly!)

I printed the "Chow time" and "Take Home S'More Fun" on card stock, and I printed the "Midnight Snack" labels on a solid sheet of sticker paper.  Just used my paper cutter - worked great.  You of course, can print them on whatever you wish!
