Girlfriends & Chocolate

I created this sweet jar to place on the table when I hold my scrapbooking workshops. I feel that it makes the creative day complete. A bunch of girls getting together for crafts, chatting and chocolate! When I'm not teaching a class it will sit near my desk in my craft room ;) !!

Campground Owls

One last project for you today from our camping trip. A cute and easy project that's perfect for not only camping, but for elementary age kiddo's heading back to school too!

You only need a paper lunch sack, yarn, construction paper in various colors, feathers, adhesive gems or foam, stapler and some glue.

I made my own template for the owl bodies, wings, feet and beaks. I used two different circle punches for the eyes.

I think all of our owls hanging around camp kept the bears away.... or perhaps it was all the laughter from the happy campers!

Camping Memory Game

A couple of years ago I made a Camping Bingo game. You can see it here in the post "O" Bear! It was a big success with the kiddo's on our camping adventures. This year I've decided to add to our gaming collection with a memory game.

One of my customers had these sliding boxes left over from a previous electronic purchase. It was a challenge for me deciding what to do with it. It is a long box and the "drawer" is very shallow. Finally, I decided it would be perfect for storing the memory cards. Just like my bingo game I kept the theme strictly for camping, bear country style!

The back of the cards have a "wood" print and the words "A camping we will go". The reverse side has fun images with a stitched border.
