1 out of 145

So about 6 weeks ago I got a new calling in my church....Young Women's Camp Director. For those not familiar, the girls (ages 12-18) in our church go to week long camps each summer. Lucky for me this one is only 4 days 3 nights. So to explain the title, last night was my first official restless night thinking about camp....and there are 145 days until the end of camp. So without going into too much detail yet, our color is yellow and the value for yellow is good works. I all ready have a few ideas but I am always in need of more. So, our first activity is making cards and Katie in our ward has kindly offered to help out with that (she is super talented, so I am THRILLED!!!!) So my first blog request is, if you have any scrapbook, card supplies you are willing to part with, we would love donations. Also, if you have any cute ideas for camp, I'd love to hear them. Yummy recipes, craft ideas....I will announce our theme and "character" in a week, after we tell the girls so that will help in the idea department too. Our budget is limited, so keep that in mind.

I am super excited for this calling. We have the BEST girls ever. I know quite a few of them and I know this will be LOADS of fun. I even heard they are all super talented and I have only briefly seen this, but can't wait to see more of it. If you don't want to leave a comment or have LOTS to say, feel free to email me at addisonsmommy@gmail.com

I can't wait to get closer and closer and get more and more ideas.

On the family front, my kiddos have been sick the past few weeks so that hasn't been fun, but we are surviving. Bennet is my crazy child and into EVERYTHING, but he's pretty hilarious so it's all good. Matthew is finally enjoying preschool and Adylin can officially write her name. Tanner recently did a biography report on Andrei Kirilenko...sigh, I like the Jazz and all, but really!!!!! Oh well, he is excited to be in his wax museum at school and we just bought him a Kirilenko shirt to wear for it, so he is very happy.

Good luck with planning girls camp. I will have to think about some idea or things that I did at girls camp years ago.

I have a bunch of scrapbooking stuff that I'll never use because I discovered digital photo books :)
Feel free to come by and get it whenever - just let me know so I can round it all up!
