Camp Time!

Lots of people are camping Right Now. Even dolls! For, instance Doll Diaries has had a wonderful camp on-line. I hope you got to see it.

My little doll above is excited about VBS, that's Vacation Bible School. I know the VBS at my church (Harbor Baptist of Ormond Beach) is sort of like camp. I know because I go too! This year I'll be counting the campers' points. Wonder who will be on the green team and who will be on the blue?  Maybe you? It's going to be all about some Wild times in the lives of some great Bible people like Noah and the flood, Elijah and an incredible tornado, Jacob and a liberating ladder climb and even Jonah--remember he got swallowed by a whale! We're going to learn some great things about God! If you live near Ormond Beach, Florida; we would love to have you participate.(Date: July 15- 19 For more info, click on harborbaptistormondbeach.com)

Our young folks returned last week from sleep-away camp at the Wilds in North Carolina.

You can find the full report if you click the Camp Report tab at the top of the page. We are so thankful to the Lord that each one could go this year. And we so appreciate the adult sponsors who drove and accompanied them.

Super Summer doll crafts from Karen Mom of Three

Having trouble keeping the kids busy now that school's out? Or maybe those special grandchildren are coming for a visit? What to do? Start with Karen Owen's blog.  See all the fabulous crafts and tutorials for dolls http://karenmomofthreescraft.blogspot.com/p/karens-doll-crafts.html  Karen is so creative and talented that she writes for other's blogs too! She has weekly craft posts for Doll Diaries  (I love those) and writes some craft posts for Daydream Doll Boutique too. I love her Flapper headband and no-sew bikinis for American Girl size dolls. Today she's making ice cream cones for dolls. You can see by her writing how encouraging she is to all her readers.  Also today, she featured Beach Baby Doll in her blog  "A Visit With Sylvia of Beach Baby Doll"  How sweet is that for me!  
Karen must be a very busy woman, but she stops to enjoy people and the good things. She's a Mom of Three (boys)! She even has a summer reading club for girls to share their reading of the American Girl books. I like those books too! Here's Karen reading in her comfy chair:
