Camp Boggy Creek pt. 2

I spent another weekend at Camp Boggy Creek.  This past weekend was the annual holiday party!!  It was a lot of hard work but tons of fun.  I was at the table where the kids could make wallets out of used Newman's Own juice cartons.  Here are some photos:

Cutting the circles in the exact right spot without making them too big or too small is the hard part.

While waiting on a meeting I made this drawing:

Turn the page and it looks like this:

After the party we cleaned up and then later that evening we had a party for all the volunteers and we did a white elephant gift exchange.  I brought this gift:

A handmade (by me) journal, gel pens, chocolate santa, and three fun Christmas themed toys!

Here is the gift I got:

I "stole" it because there was 82 players and I was 76!  I wanted it because of the iTunes gift card ($25) and two lotto tickets.  I had no idea there was that much candy in there!  YIKES.  Needless to say I have already started working my way through that MilkyWay bag : )

Camp Boggy Creek

Last weekend I went to Camp Boggy Creek to volunteer for their Asthma family weekend.  The camp is designed to give kids with serious medical issues a chance to go off to camp with other kids like them and have a great and memorable experience.  The camp has a medical center so that all medical needs can be taken care of on site by nurses and doctors!  Here is the camp website if you want to check it out  http://www.boggycreek.org/

It was a great weekend.  My second family weekend there.  What happens when you volunteer is that you get assigned to a family and spend the entire weekend with them at the camp making sure the kids have an awesome time.

When I got home I made this spread in my art journal:

I am going back again this weekend for their annual holiday party.  Anyone who has been to camp all year can attend, so it will be about 1,000 people!  I did it last year and it was a blast!

I hope you guys have a good weekend too!
