I made it back from camp in one piece....and I had a blast! It was exhausting {I got home and felt like I'd been hit by a Mack truck for the first day or so} but what's not to love about not cooking or doing laundry & hanging out with your kids and some really great people?! Ok...it wasn't quite as easy as that, but still, it was great and I hope to be able to go again next year! Some of my fave pics....

 |
| me and my girls |
 |
| canoe time {we went with the kids, but they were already out on the lake} |
 |
| Maggie entered the fishing contest...so proud of her in the midst of all those boys : ) |
 |
| went with 1 best friend...came home with a room full. :) |
Before I left I made each of the girls in our cabin a bracelet in our BLUE team color. I got the idea from Pinterest...saw headbands made the same way on there, but I just made them smaller....take a peek! {sorry about the iphone pics...my camera was once again MIA}
 |
| Cut t-shirt into 1-2 inch wide strips. stack 5 of them and then hot glue or sew them at one end. |
 |
| Pull on the strips until they are not flat anymore and curl up. Start braiding but braiding the 3 on the left side like you normally would, only doing one "interval" of it. |
 |
| Do the same on the right side, always starting with the outside strip. Then go back to the left. |
 |
| Tighten as you go...it should look like this. |
|
 |
| Still going after a week at camp. :) |
|
I took this idea and carried it a step further...and made a scarf out of a shirt I never wore. I've been wanting a coral/orange scarf for quite awhile now & I just never got around to buying one.
 |
| My post-childbearing body doesn't do drapey a-line well.... |
 |
| I cut off strips in different sizes...some I left the seam on and other I cut so I could braid and then I just tied back up. |
 |
| This may still need a little tweaking, but I LOVE how it turned out...just the color I was needing too! {Notice the iced coffee...still going strong on that one : ) } I may regret posting a pic with no make-up on...hopefully y'all love me enough to see past it...ha! ; ) |
Well, after not posting for over a week, I think this may be my longest post EVER! Hopefully it gives you some good ideas to use with those old tshirts sitting around. :)
It's great to be back and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things around here!
