A QUICK, EASY CRAFT when you’re surrounded by NATURE 

Thank you! 😊

Thanks so much, Jessica - I appreciate your watching!

Thanks, Lynda! Yes, it's so helpful to have our grab-and-go box so we never have to be without our supplies! And I like being resourceful with what we can find on hand. Happy camping to you, too!

That is awesome! Thank you for all you're doing for these girls! Yes, it's surprising how little you can get by with. Most useful for me during our week away were the watercolors, of course, then the glue stick - but also the thrift-store blank journal with the lined pages. It was so nice to have plenty of blank paper for journaling space and neatly kept in the book until I was ready to tear it out. I used it for quite a few projects I did off-camera. Have a super trip, and thanks for watching!

Thanks, Donita! Yes, Washington also has stunning state parks, and we have enjoyed many of them, too. Thanks so much for watching!

Very refreshing indeed, my friend! And by Saturday morning, I swear I saw some rainbows popping out of the waterfalls!! 🌈❤️

Glad you enjoyed the glimpses of camp! We really do enjoy getting out and being immersed in the beauty here. I appreciate your watching!

Oh, Trudy, that's so great! I hope you had a super time both camping and crafting, as we did! Take care, and thanks for watching!

Ann, I'm so glad this was helpful! I realized later that I really could have cut down my take-along supplies even more. I only used two of my three glues, and there was no real need to take the circle punch or the date stamp!

Thanks, Joanne! Yes, we had a super time, even on chilly and damp days - the weather changes quickly here, as it does in many places, so we always had plenty of opportunities to get out and hike - and we never mind the rain. Thanks for watching!

Have fun, CeCe! I love ferns, and we saw so many along the trails just unfurling - that "fiddlehead" stage is so primordial and interesting! Thanks for watching!

Oh, I'm sorry if that plant search was startling! Being longtime campers, we have become quite skilled at spotting the dreaded poison ivy and poison oak, which unfortunately is prevalent in some places...but not here! Thanks for watching!

Oh, Kym, thanks for getting me even more excited about my shimmery watercolors! I did dip into them a tiny bit while at camp but I want to improve my techniques more so I can learn to blend, etc. But I know I'm going to enjoy them, and thank you SO much for watching!

Thank you, Kathy! I hope you have fun doing this, too!

So nice of you, Marcia, thank you! Happy crafting to you!

Thanks, Suzy! Yes, I bet your kiddos would love this technique. I'll try it next time my Barney is over, too. Crafting with the grandchildren is such a special experience!

Hi, Diedre! Yes, we were camping at Silver Falls State Park, known as the crown jewel of the Oregon state parks system. We hadn't been in there since before the pandemic, and it was so nice to get back. So glad you enjoyed the scenes! Thanks for watching!

So funny, as you were harvesting the foliage I recognized it. The berry leaves look like the salmon berry leaves that are so prevalent there. Silver creek falls is one of my favorite all time parks. Love the seven mile hike too!
