blue wave

Came home for the holidays and ended up working all week at Blue Wave Afterschool. Which is awesome because I love working with the kids. I am also in the middle of making a website for Blue Wave Afterschool/Camp Blue Wave. These are the photos I took for the meet the staff page. Once it is complete, I will share the domain name. Hope everyone is happy that winter break has finally arrived. Now, all that is left is the last minute shopping. Check back in on Monday! Next week I have huge plans :)

Today has been one of the best days I've had in awhile. I did not have to go into work, got to take a two hour nap, and completed absolutely no homework. I laid around and watched tv for the better part of the afternoon and received the best package ever from Camp Blue Wave! Also, my boy brought me flowers.

All in all, a great day by my standards.

Hope everyone had a great if not better day than I.

DIY: make your own postcards

There is a slight problem in the digital age - nothing is ever printed! Emails, tweets, Insta photos, Pinterest Ideas - are all on your computer, iPhone, iPad, etc. In my case, I have tons and tons of photos saved on my computer. Granted, a good portion of them are saved on my blog, but it just isn't the same. 

I found a cheap way to share the photos I take with the people I care about. Postcards! Who doesn't love getting mail (as long as it isn't bills)? Postcards are easy, no need to buy an envelope or even write a long message for that matter. PLUS the TOTAL COST for 6 postcards (with the stamps): $8 

That is a STEAL.

These were printed at my local Target Copy on matte card stock paper. What I love about this is that you can do many different photos to personalize each message for extremely cheap.

I made my own template that I wanted to offer to download, but couldn't find a free website. So if interested email me and I'll send you the template with the directions! To make your own, place your image(s) in Microsoft Word and then under Insert > Shape > Line and Connectors > Straight Line. Draw lines for the divider and address area. I even inserted a box for a stamp. 

Write your message and add a stamp!

Let me know how your postcards turn out! Thanks for following along.

work isn't work if it's fun

As you may already know, I work at a summer camp called Camp Blue Wave. We do awesome activities and I love working with all the kids. I take photos everyday and post videos about once a week. I love my job, because it combines all the things I love to do. Meet some of my favorite lil campers below.

How cute is Trey?

We went fishing the other day, and I was helping get the fish off of the poles. They love catching the fish but are afraid to death that the fish is gonna jump off the line and attack them or something!

A photo taken by a camper. They love helping me out.

Poor poor fish. I hate when the hooks get caught in the eye socket :(

This is Sarah :)
