There’s an update to Cabin Finger Painters thread here. Anyone can look to see what wacky Mad Libs letter our cabin members sent home! So far we have @Bunny1kenobi, @megwell, and @Mountains_and_Clouds. If you still haven’t joined in on the fun, please be sure to do so. 
Oh, man – I can’t believe I missed spelunking the tugboat! 
How did you manage to get some of that high juice? It was all gone by the time I got there!
That’s why @megwell missed out on spelunking the tugboat 
Okay, for the record, when I put “high” I meant it in the altitude sense. (Did I see the potential for ambiguity and let it ride? Maybe…)

@Tapestry , cool to see a roadrunner! It doesn’t look too different from Kōlea, a native plover we have here! (Well, it’s native but also migratory and usually goes up to Alaska in the summer)
@saintcady Wow! You’re off and running! I love those flower cutouts, and those spell books each look so special!
@storerboughtcreation OMG that wreath is gorgeous!!
We’re waiting for clear skies to get out the telescopes, but in the meantime, check out Cabin Stargazers for your Camp Horoscope! It’s for all Campers, so check it out and share your zodiac sign!
@Mountains_and_Clouds , your cats hiney looks like my cats hiney! 
There were TWO roadrunners this evening and one of them was doing a courting dance. So darn cool!
I feel like I was stuck putting off so many projects at the end of school that I’ve now exploded into full-crafty mode. It can’t last, so I’m enjoying it while I can!

Here’s the tutorial I checked out:
I think it’s going to be my next blanket. I have a bunch of gray yarn that might be the sc row, and I might do rows of greens for the dc clusters.

Project Name: Crochet dinosaur!
Project Link: Little crochet stegosaurus
Brief Description: I used some yarn (rope!) to make this little stegosaurus! There’s a link to a tutorial video in the post. Also, I feel like I used to do those “excavation” find-things-in-a-tub-of-sand things. I don’t remember doing anything like that at camp, but my mom definitely set one up for a birthday party I had when I was little!

Brief Description: My postcard club card has arrived so I can share it! I experimented with some watercolor ground and watercolors.

Is the idea that we’ll post photos of the decorated cards as we receive? 'Cause mine from @bluebird showed up today!
Good question! I was figuring, since we’re posting the cards we made as Zaps, that receivers wouldn’t need to post. If anyone thinks a different plan is better, chime in!
Sounds good to me!
