     I am freaking out because CAMP is NEXT WEEK.  I feel like there are still millions of things that I could do for it and somewhere, sometime, I just have to stop and go with what I've got! But, not today because I am still working on little treats to give my youth camp leaders each day to keep them motivated.  
     A couple of weeks ago, I made them all these totes so that they would be able to carry all of their odds and ends for the girls that they will be over this year. I gave them to them a week ago so that they will be able to have them to pack in.  I am happy to say that they really liked them.
     So, here are some of the things that I am working on now.  
     In the Spring, I came across these gardening kneeling pads at Dollar Tree.  I don't see them on the website any more, but there were still quite a few at the store the other day.  
Picture
     I had seen a quote on Pinterest that I really liked, and since the theme for camp this year comes from James 1:5...
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him."
...I thought, what a great combination with this quote that I read!  Here is the quote:
"When Life gives you more than you can stand, KNEEL!"
     I just knew that the kneeling pad and the quote had to go together! I toyed with the idea for a while, and so far I have tried two ways of doing them.  See which one you like.
     First, I pulled out my Cricut and cut out the letters and used Mod Podge to stick them on.  (It is also available at Dollar Tree and you can order as few as 4 bottles online!) I used about 3 coats of Mod Podge all over the pad after sticking on the letters, allowing it to dry between each coat.  This gave a smooth, less likely to rub the letters off finish.  
I put on pretty thick coats of Mod Podge. Also, Cover the entire pad or you will have uneven shiny parts and dull parts of the pad.
Here it is all dry. I felt all of the letters and added more Mod Podge if they felt like they would tear off.

Unfortunately, after I finished it I realized that the lines I was using as a guide were not straight, so my words were somewhat crooked.
     So, I liked that one, except for the crooked part.  But, it was very time consuming.  So, I decided to try to do one with Sharpies! I was afraid that the bumpy nature of the pad would make it too difficult to write neatly, but it wasn't that bad! It actually looks darker in person compared to this photo.

So, these are my two attempts. Let me know if you can think of a better way!
      After making these, I turned my attention to the little treats of encouragement for the girls.  I decided to give them Goldfish Crackers, Starburst and Doritos.  I came up with some little notes to go with them.  I am providing you with the printables below if you would like to use these ideas. I used 4" x 6" card stock, but printed with the 3 x 5 setting and clicked "fit to page". 
I filled little snack bags with pretzel and colorful Goldfish.
I used 4 x 6 card stock, but when I printed I used the 3 x 5 setting and checked "fit to page" to print the cards on all of these projects.
I love the phrase, "Just keep swimming" from "Finding Nemo." It is another way of saying, "Don't give up."

I used the snack bags again to divide up the Starburst.
My husband came up with the "rock star" play on words.
You can see the colorful candy and see the words through the bag.

This time I put the note behind the bag so that you can read it through the plastic.

     The last one with Doritos is my favorite.  I hope everyone gets it!

     You know, "adorable" ...
​     Anyway, those have been my camp brainstorms so far! I hope my ideas spark some ideas in you! Let me know what you think!
