The girls made these cute boards that they sanded, painted, applied vinyl lettering to, and pounded horse shoes nails into. They turned out really good. Lisa's dad has a vinyl lettering machine for his business and so we had the ultimate hookup on that one.
We also Mod Podge some cheap frames from Ikea and added some embellishments and ribbon to hang it up with. We took their pictures yesterday so they could have a picture to put in it (although this one didn't have their picture in it when I snapped the photo - oh well.) Note to self..Mod Podge and 8-year olds don't mesh.
They also got to take home their button rings that they made the day before. I LOVE these! You just take some old buttons and use some super strong glue (Lisa found some Epoxy glue that you mix just before using that worked well) and adhere them to the ring bases (which you ligthly sand for better glue adherance) that we got off of Oriental Trading. Sure to make their fingers green after a few consecutive wears - but very cute. Here are 3 for display although my favorites are the big giant buttons that I will be sporting out on the town. We found the buttons at an antique shop for super cheap - quite the assortment.

You guys did a really good job putting this all together. Katie came home with some really cute stuff.
Those are really cute! Put clear nailpolish on the band, so you can wear them longer without them getting your finger green!
I want to go to craft camp! I love what you did.
Hi Wendy! Our husband's are cousin's... (We met at Gramdma Rider's birthday party a couple of years ago.) We were visiting Grandma last week and I saw the cute Christmas card you had sent her and saw your blog address. I thought I'd pop in to say hello!
Cute craft camp you did!
You have an adorable family!
