Pax was not impressed with the giant googly eyes for the summer prank. He looks like a little spiky nose rather than a hedgehog.

Here is a SILLY Steam Punk dragon painting that my Father In Law painted for me (made even sillier by the googly eyes!)

I faced a few hurdles arriving at camp…. I already had to arrive late, then I misplaced my registration box… but I eventually found the box and finally made it, decorated my cabin, and I’m about to settle in with some nerdy crafts. But I made sure to make time for a LAZY prank before I left!

I also started watching a bit of '“Oklahoma!” and… I just couldn’t stop laughing at the googley eyes above the images :joy:

On a somewhat related note, Hugh Jackman can really do anything, can’t he? Sing, dance, stunts, TV, stage, big screen… and it seems like he can change his accent to anything he’s asked to change it to.

@Mountains_and_Clouds Your kitty is adorable! The pose looks like… "really? What are these?” or “how dare you?”

@storerboughtcreation I love Monkey’s photo lol! I looks like he’s making a silly face for the photo, but I think he’s mighty, too :blush:

@HeroicHatchling awww what a cute kitty :heart: And what gorgeous feathers for your postcards! And the bear with the googly eyes made me laugh.

@Tapestry I love your tracking pages! I generally keep track of my submissions on a Trello board, which I’ll still use this time around, but with the token system, I think the tracking pages will help me keep better track. So I’ve printed them and glued them into my daybook, and this time around I’ll use a combination of tech and analog :slight_smile: . Thank you for sharing these with us!

I love the “Sip, Sip, Horray!” watercolour, and I don’t think the tea bag is ridiculous at all. I think it’s adorable :heart: :teapot: And the mixed media tea pictures are great! I love art that incorporates text; I’ve been trying to do some more of that on my art, too.

I really like the embossed strip on the background of the “sip life” greeting cards.

Also, I love the little spiky nose :heart: :hedgehog:

@stirlingarts the googly eyes int he pool gave me a chuckle, lol!

@saintcady Wow; beautiful swirls on that postcard! Just a heads up though, the card was not blurred for me.
