Please remember that I did get this from another sister so I can only tell you what I am doing. We are getting testimonies from the parents, the YW president of the individual wards, the camp director of the ward, the stake president, the stake camp people, the YW general president and then using the testimony from President Hinckley that I posted earlier. In addition to this we are leaving blank pages for the girls to be able to write their testimonies in each others books.  Here is the letter that will be sent out to the parents...

Dear Parents,

For camp this year we are making personal testimony books for each girl.  Included in this book we would like to have your personal testimony written to your daughter. We will be giving this special gift to the girls up at camp as a reminder of what the church is to others around them and how important testimonies are to each individual. We hope that this will help in making each girl's own testimony stronger. We are requesting that each testimony be written as follows…

1. Write or type testimonies on standard weight ½ sheet of paper. The exact horizontal measurement of the page should be 8 ½ inches, and the vertical measurement should be 5 ½ inches.
   
2. Write or type testimony horizontally on page, leaving a left margin of ½ to ¾ inch on the left for binding.
   
3. Sign and date your testimony.
   
4. Parents (and other family members) with more than one daughter in YW will need to submit one testimony for each daughter.
   
5. Write the girl's name and her ward on a small piece of paper and paperclip it to your testimony so those who assemble the books will know who the testimony is for.

If you wish to do this please submit your testimony to us by July 1st so we will have time to include it in their books. Feel free to send it before that time. We thank you for your help in making this a memorable girls camp for your daughter.

That hopefully will get most of them to have testimonies from their parents.  If we don't receive it the girls will still have lots to look at. We had a few different ideas of putting the books together but really haven't discussed it since I moved. I am going back for camp so we are doing a lot of this over the phone now. When it was last discussed we talked about doing a wood cover that the girls could decorate in crafts. We also discussed lamination.

I think you could just keep it basic and it will still be special. For yours with leather it will look awesome! Have you considered having the girls press the leather and then paint it? That would make a nice craft as well. I think I would still laminate at least the first sheet to protect the holes from ripping. I am so glad to hear about all these ideas!
