I hosted a breakfast on Friday morning for one of the young women who has lived in our ward for the past year who is returning home - she will be greatly missed! I am lucky however that she lives in the same state as my parents so hopefully I can visit her.
We had a light breakfast of three types of muffins - blueberry, cinnamon swirl and chocolate chocolate chip, juice and lots of fruit: cherries, watermelon, oranges, bananas along with strawberry yogurt.
Final preparations for young women camp have been keeping our household busy the past couple days. Lauren (my co-leader for the YCL's) and I made these fun headbands for all the YCL's. Each are color coordinated for the color which represents the level they are working with along with strands of blue, which is the YCL color. The flowers represent the 'bloom where you're planted' theme. Lots of flowers will be blooming at camp this year!
Here are some wood flowers that will be blooming. They are my VERY first attempt at doing something like this and yes, I know they are very basic but they will (hopefully) be great for a girls camp setting. I will cluster them in groups of three (the 'stems' are three different heights) around camp. I learned so much through the process: I got free wood, had to free hand a shape (and even that is such a stretch for me, I am so not an artist as you can tell), I learned to cut out the wood and paint the wood. I bought a sealant for the wood since it is sure to rain at camp. James cut the 'stems' for me and added them to the flowers. Hopefully each time I do something like this it will quicker and be more detailed in the final product.
