Craft Camp 2016 - Week 1

Week #1 is in the books and it started with a birthday theme.  The girls made my birthday hat pennant banners and had fun cutting out huge faces of their family to decorate and string up. 





Afterwards, they painted a cheery Happy Birthday sign to hang in their homes when the big day comes around.  These will be cherished forever!


The next project was swanky silhouettes and we started by getting the lights just right and taking pictures of their profiles.  I cut out their profiles on my Cameo Silhouette machine and then we made a fun mess with water and colorful fingernail polish to create a groovy marbleized paper look on the thin plastic cut out.


Then we used the reverse cut out to create these on canvas.


And lastly, we whipped up these adorable thank you notes for the girls to take home!






Friday was Father's Day workshop and we created these wood trays with 
racing stripes for Dear Old Dad!





We also made a cooling summertime shaving gel...


and to make the day complete...Kahlua Bars and Old Fashioned Brownies.  


and when you have Bennie in the class, you have to have some reference to MineCraft or Star Wars...light sabers?





 Happy Father's Day to our campers dads and dads everywhere!

Happy 80th Birthday to the King of Romance!

I had posted this picture of a birthday hat banner I made for my Mom's 80th birthday a few years ago on my blog.  Last week I got an interesting request from someone via my Etsy Shop  who wanted to know if I was the person who made these birthday banners and could I make one for a famous person who is turning 80.  I had not listed this item for my store and was curious who that someone would be...


When she told me, so many thoughts ran through my mind...


Did he know that I grew up listening to him croon on my Mom's favorite mellow music and news station, WSB in Atlanta, ALL of my childhood?

Would he care that I always voted for him when kids boasted about who did you like better, 
Tom Jones or him?

Would he know that the first person I was going to call about this order was my 83 year old Mom (who I could hear smiling over the cell waves when I told her that the King of Romance was getting a little somethin' somethin' from Queenie Eileenie's for his big day)


The man in question???


E N G E L B E R T   H U M P E R D I N C K  !  !  !

Then I had to explain who he was to my 15 year old!  

Here's how the birthday banner turned out...


The man has aged VERY well!  It was so much fun to look up his image online!


 He turns 80 on May 2...so Engelbert, have a very special day and I hope you had a blast at your party!  Life has been good to you!
