Allie's Project

I finally decided to do something about the ideas I've been holding onto for a couple years now. I am rather pleased with the final product, but I must admit not all the ideas were originally mine. I antiqued the frames and actually got out the sewing kit (note: that was not the sewing machine). If James hadn't taken the fast computer on his business trip, I'd include more photos to see if you can guess which silhouette belongs to which kid.

Cub Scout Day Camp

I've done myself a disservice. I organized the perfect day camp. I'm sure my fate in scouting is doomed. Now, they'll never release me. We did it for half the price and twice the fun we would have had if we had attended the district-sponsored program. No one missed work, or had to attend a single training. It was sheer genius...

When the boys arrived, they made t-shirts by popping Rit Dye-filled water balloons with darts.

Tessa's Baking Birthday Party

Tessa's party invitations welcomed attendees to her culinary school. When they arrived, the kids puffy-painted aprons then made pizza and decorated sugar cookies. The afternoon included hot potato and egg and spoon races. It was lots of fun. Thank you, Aunt Molly, for your help.
