20 Friends Had a Blast at Camp


20 ladies showed up.

Some were strangers, some were acquaintances and some were friends at the beginning of the night. By the end of the night ALL were friends.

We didn't let the kids have all the fun at camp this summer. We let loose and made up some of our own fun in our 8 hours of camp.


We had a FUN evening of . . . .


  • Beading

  • Making pretzels

  • Srapbooking

  • Eating from our scrumptious potluck

  • Watching a movie

  • Decorating flip flops

  • Talking

  • Crocheting

  • Winning beautifully decorated vases and candles from the raffle

The raffle brought in $44.55. The money went to modernize bathrooms and kitchens for field workers in Kurdistan.

Thanks to all the ladies who showed up. Also thanks to Michelle for helping me with this camp. It exceeded my expectations.


Stay tuned for the next C.A.M.P.

Cake Petstals

As some of you know I love cake pedestals, but having the creative mind that I have I started looking at other things to make my own unique cake pedestal. That's when I started to realize most people my age don't have them, so here are some fun ways to make your own. If you have a china set or a fun plate and cup you like you can make your own. Just turn the cup upside down put some duct tape on the bottom and place the plat on top. Another fun idea is using clear plastic goblets and plates. Raley's has them on sale right now. You can theme the cake pedestal by putting things in the goblet then putting the plate on top. I am bringing some of the ideas I have thought of to Camp night. Michelle

shower caddy

Ladies if you are making the shower caddies you need to go to the Lowes on Greenback. The Lowes in Rancho does not have the pails, and they have no clue what is posted on the Creative Ideas website. But I found every thing I needed around the paint department. I hope this is helpful. Michelle

And If You Don't Have Enough Ideas . . .

. . . Go to The Golden Thimble which has a listing of 569 projects!

20 Ladies Attending CAMP

Wahoo! About 20 ladies plan on coming to camp at CNC in a few days.


I (Susan) am gathering all my stuff and vacillating about what I'll be bringing to share for the potluck dinner. What are you bringing?
