Camp's Almost Over!!!

Hey guys! It's Natalie!
     Well, Camp's almost over... This is the last week for campers, and then we leave on Saturday. We thought that it would be fun to share some of the pictures that we took while we were at camp this year, so here you go! There's not a lot (like I said before, we got almost no free time), but I hope that you'll like them anyway. 

We are posing by the cabinet of crafty goodness here... That's where we put a lot of the stuff that we made over the summer.

Taylor came to visit!

     Did you notice that Saige has a cast on her arm in these pictures? She broke her arm last week on a double dog dare from a camper to climb the tallest tree in camp. She fell off before she even got ten feet into the air. You can't decline a double dog dare without sounding like a wimp! Oh, Saige... 
     Have you noticed anything else about these pictures? They were taken with an actual  camera!!!!!!! Almost every single picture on this blog was taken with the cruddiest laptop camera ever produced.... Eew. That's right readers! Our photos will (mostly) be of a much higher quality from now on! You may have noticed this in our craft last week :)

Well I guess that's it... We might not update again until we get home, so this may be our last post from Camp Little Lake this year! 
Goodbye!

Craft Time With Natalie and Saige!!!!- Easy Magnets

WAAAA HOOOO!!!!
     We've finally gotten around to making a craft post!!! This time, we're making some easy magnets like the ones that we made with our campers a few days ago.

Materials:

• Mod Podge or clear glue
• Scrapbooking paper or old magazines
• A paintbrush
• Scissors
• Clear rocks
• Crafting Magnets
• Hot glue gun and sticks- Make sure that you have adult supervision!!!

1. Paint a layer of Mod Podge onto the flat side of the clear rock with a paintbrush.

2. Press the Mod Podged side of the rock onto the decorated side of your scrapbooking paper or magazine. Make sure that it's stuck really well! Let it dry completely.

3. Cut the excess paper from around the rock.

4. Paint another layer of Mod Podge onto the back of the rock, over the paper. This will help the paper stick a little bit better and it will create a seal. Let it dry completely.

5. Hot glue the magnet to the back of the rock. You're finished!

     We hope that you enjoyed this craft! Did you notice that we actually used a camera? Hahaha... Let us know if you can tell a difference in photo quality please!

A Few Updates

Woah, two posts in one day! This is crazy! I just wanted to let you all know about some of the stuff that's going on.

• I am finishing up the craft! It should be done by the end of this month; and I'll tell you why in a minute. I have all of the instructions written out, I just need to take the pictures and upload them. 
• I am getting a new laptop! This is why I haven't posted anything lately; I've been cleaning out all of the stuff on this laptop that I don't want transferred onto the new one. This is also why I haven't finished the craft. 
• I'm getting another reborn doll! Well, sorta. I only ordered the blank kit (I'll make an explanatory post when it gets here), and I need to save up some money so I can send it off to get painted and stuff. So this reborn will be finished by the beginning of next year. I can't wait!
• Natalie, Saige, and Taylor will get back from Camp Little Lake on August 22nd.
• We only have 6 months to reach our goal of 30 followers! If you like this blog, do us a favor and follow us:) You'll be one of the first to know when we make a new post! 

I'm pretty sure that that's it for now... I'll let you know if anything else happens:)

Craft Time With Natalie and Saige!

Natalie and Saige here!
     Before we start, everyone at Emily and Friends wishes Saige a super happy belated birthday!!! 
     Thanks! So we have an idea for a new series of posts here, called "Craft Time With Natalie and Saige!". It's a pretty self-explanatory series. 
     What Saige is trying to tell you is that we are starting a crafting series! We've been feeling like, SUPER CRAFTY since we got back from camp in July, but we just can't think of any good crafts! 
     So we need your suggestions! Anything would be a big help. We're thinking of fall/halloween/thanksgiving crafts for right now. We would even accept winter crafts, too!
     You can leave us a comment or email us your suggestions/requests (You could also email us just to say hi!). Just tell us your craft request and if you want us to write your name at the beginning of the post. Example: This craft was requested by DollLover42003! 
     Which would be cool because then our other readers could be like "Woah he/she made an awesome request!"
      By the way, if 2 people suggest the same craft, we'll use both names in the introduction :)
     So that's pretty much it! Thanks for reading and don't forget to request/suggest a craft!
