Summer Camp Crunch Time

Well they're finally here, my 'Northwest Wonders' summer camp starts on Monday (there's three of them, plus another Road Trip USA one afterwards!), and I'm in serious scramble mode trying to pull it all together...it's not like I had six months to prepare or anything!

Why do creativity & procrastination always seem to go hand in hand? Take for instance the fact that I should be drawing the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, and a pair of Orca's this very moment..... 

Not to mention finishing my poor salmon so he can get back in the water where he belongs!

He's not very thrilled that I placed him on the bench in the foyer and left him there all day...think I'd better work on him first!

I do have one completely completed project, well two actually. First is the Tulip Fields which were finished about a week ago...that was a huge relief...especially since they weren't even on the camp menu, just a whim I had when I realized I didn't have it in me to attempt making a Totem Pole...I'm saving that project for another day, or month....you just have to be in the right mood to carve a Totem!

The beautiful painting above is the other finished project we'll be attempting to create at camp...well, one very similar to it anyway...ours will be including a seagull and the Olympic Mountains though instead of Mt. Rainier...he's going somewhere else!
The painting was done by my sis-in-law's father who is a wonderful artist, and I'm so honored that she allowed me to borrow it for the camps! I can't wait for the kids to see it...and I really can't wait to see their interpretations of it! How I'm ever to give it back is a mystery!

Well thank you so much my kindred peeps, for helping me to creatively procrastinate just a wee bit longer, you've helped tremendously...I feel much more ready to doodle now!!

Wish me luck...
