Art Camp

As a child, both Blake and I were constantly thinking up grand schemes to earn money... particularly in the summer months!  I remember weeding for hours.... at $3.00 an hour! Talk about working for your money, haha.  Both Blake and I had paper routes, we babysat constantly.  Blake even collected rocks and went around selling them to friends and family.  

Needless to say, it didn't surprise either of us when Evelyn presented an idea at the beginning of summer to earn some extra money.  She researched 10 or so art projects on pinterest and then had me email my friends with younger children asking for a commitment to attend her classes.  We went out and bought a few supplies and voila! Art camp was born!  It has been so much fun! With only four students it's very manageable and I love that Evelyn will prep the art projects beforehand and take full responsibility of the children while they are here.  And of course, she's beyond thrilled with her income.  It's been really fun.  A few pictures:
