Hello friends and welcome to Day 3 of CAMP JOY!
Today we’re giving and receiving a summer camp highlight – the ever-coveted CARE PACKAGE!
My parents were sweet enough to send me a care package from Los Angeles and the rule is, when you get a care package you have to give a care package and… we’re nothing if not very strict etiquette followers!
My care package for gifting consists of three things:
• S’mores Granola Bars inspired by Molly Yeh’s Choose Your Own Adventure Granola Bars. I used tahini, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips to make them extra s’morey.
• Popcorn and a little popcorn spice mix made up of Jac0bsen’s Black Lime Sea Salt (similar here), harissa, and cumin.

• I’ve spent the last week deep into my new obsession: Daisy Chain Friendship Bracelets.
I used the above tutorial from Honestly WTF, these 8/0 beads, and these beads, no. 8 griffin silk thread or no. 6 griffin silk thread (I used no.6), these pearls are extra credit, so are these little Czech glass seed beads. The idea is to sit on the couch with your giant cat and make bracelets for everyone you know.
Thank you for joining me for Day 3 of Camp. Whitney and I have loved making this little show for you.I hope it inspires some soul-soothing craft time and creative giving this summer. Keep it simple. Let it feel good.
Love to you!

I kid you not-
1. I live for your Sunday newsletter and Camp Joy
2. To add to the mayhem that is 2020, I’m again single and heartbroken and for now living with my parents…. which means I’ve found my childhood boxes (3!) full of beads and nothing gives me more solace.
