I was able to submit the sheet for all the pins! I only have one project left to complete all the prompts. I am hoping to slip that in this weekend if I can find time.
Thank you again to @LovelyMiss for providing the pins. They are such a fun motivator, and I wear at least one to work every day!

Kicking butt on the prompts!!! Yes, you’re so welcome! It’s so fun you wear them! I like to pick out a few to put on a jacket, lanyard, or bag for the different events I have to go to for work, too. It’s nice to have a little collection so they can even sometimes be appropriately themed!

After taking a little holiday in San Francisco, my package finally made it!

Thank goodness! I was tracking it every day. I’m going to try to avoid Ground Advantage service in the future. Did everything survive okay?

I didn’t have a chance to open it yet, but nothing looks amiss!
Also, ground advantage is usually fine. I’ve had a couple things swirl around lately, but it’s generally pretty fast, even to here!

Whew! :slight_smile: Must have been a blip - several of the delivery dates were later than expected for the camp packages. I’m glad to know it’s usually faster!

Now that I’ve caught up my spring posts and submitted my pin form, I’m champing at the bit :laughing:. I’ve basically already decorated the first postcard in my head.

I finally opened my Summer Camp box! You all were right- @LovelyMiss knocked it out of the park with her presentation! I am on vacation in VT for a few days, and I brought it along for some evening craft time.

I also brought things for the last few projects I need in order to get all of the pins! Except that I forgot to pack one item, and I need it for 3 projects. So, a quick thrift store run tomorrow should solve that. But, I could have finished them tonight… Tomorrow will be a busy craft day!

Good Luck!

One project down! Three more to go to meet my pin requirements. I’m also working on another project that is also due today. It has a few stages that require drying time, so I should be able to alternate between them and get everything finished in time. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Hello, campers! For all things cabin finger painters related, be sure to check in here for information and updates


Read letters from Week One

Week One
We have survived our first week at camp! Our cabin decided to write letters home, and here is what you had to say!

Sounds like there may be a bit of head scratching when these arrive. Just what are we up to at this camp?! :rofl:


Hijinks from our cabin

The scene is set… all the campers are crowded around Megwell’s “contraband” tv watching Murder, She Wrote. Bunny1kenobi has popped popcorn for everyone, Mountains_and_Clouds has graciously provided the bowls for our evening treat, and storerboughtcreation is busy handing out juice boxes to the crowd.

This all seems to be a distraction, and the misdirection seems all but confirmed when Monkey shows up with flags he stole from Trailblazers and Stargazers. But who put Monkey up to this thievery? He’s not telling, not even for cheese! :smiling_face_with_horns:
