Get The TechniqueWhat better way to celebrate summer than a pool party?? My friend Brooke had a pool-side birthday celebration yesterday, complete with lawn games, diving competitions, and barbecuing. This had me feeling nostalgic for the summer days of my youth, and my gift was inspired by camp crafts of years past.
The Birthday Girl!
I embellished some funny glasses I had using sequins and craft glue- they made for some fun photos and helped protect against UV rays!
Attach some dinosaurs with a hot glue gun and you've got quite a pair of party glasses.
I'm not the only one with summer crafts on the mind. These M.A.C. store windows exhibit one of the ultimate camp crafts- the God's Eye.

Why was there a contest for a new blog masthead when we're still looking at the old (and I must say, boring) one? Both of the winning designs are far superior to what is being shown now.

OMG! The god's-eye. Makes up quick, and then what? Makes me think of the Boston grandmother's reaction to that popsicle stick/wire coat hanger birdcage in the original Parent Trap movie.

Ah, summer fun. Remembering back to my youth, what about carnivals? My 9 year old son Gus wanted to go to the fair, but we were unable. So, we then decided to put on our own fair with games we invented based on carnival games he had played in the past. With neighbors and friends over, we all had a great time and then watched a movie outside in our backyard afterwards.
