Cabins Rock!

Sssshhh, here's a secret -- I'm not really into "camping". I hate the idea of sleeping with the bugs, getting eaten by a bear, being cold ..... THANK YOU for placing us in CABINS!

I love how our cabin has a temperature spell on it so it's comfortable for everyone, with lots of charms to ward off bugs and any other predators!!

I didn't realize today was deadline to post our wish lists. I'll put a quick list up, but reserve the right to come back and update, okay?! This is a huge list - I'm just rambling on about things I like so feel free to pick and choose, or ignore!

Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 8 - SUMMER CAMP 09

I'm so excited to report that I'm headed to my very FIRST sleep-over camp, and will make lots of Hogwarts friends, too!! I've special requested a lower bunk near the WC and I really hope I'm not a noisy sleeper.

I'm also crossing fingers that there are some crocheters to share patterns with, but I can't wait to see what all the creative knitters come up with, too!!
