Did you know that I’m planning a craft day camp with Melissa of MCreativeJ? It’s true! So for all of you creative folks in the Seattle / Tacoma area, this one’s for you.

Camp Craftaway is coming to Alki Beach Park in West Seattle over one magical weekend: Friday, August 12 to Sunday, August 14. (Get your tickets now!)
