Thank you all for your encouragement!
Here's another build. Not my favorite at all even though I'm happy with the build itself. Note to self: no competitions with slide shows, there's a reason why graphics/webimage requirement at college gave me an ulcer, literally. I nearly trashed my poor innocent laptop this time. No fault of the nice BnS organisers, don't get me wrong ^^ Just...not for me. I always feel like a big superhero for wrangling first photoshop and then tinypics
Here's the lot and the presentation (before I gave up in tears) so my labor hasn't beenl for nothing: Summer Camp for up to eight kids. Let's blame the bad spelling on Frederica's age, yes?
(There are tons of more pics in my folder, I chose those who are most entertainign since this post here is not about touring the lot virtually)
I built it for Granite Falls, National Forrest Lot.

Dear Mom,
Uncle Derek has delivered me to Hell. Ok, bad joke, it isn't horrible here like I thought it would be, it's quite nice in fact but some of the other kids... are total snots!
I promised to take lots of pics and send them to you in the evenings, and I keep my promises! Especially if there's a kitten as a reward. Just to remind you!
I took this fresh out of the car:
Mr. Kalakaua (which sounds more like Hawaii than Rocky Mountains but whatever) 'call me Mr.K!' is quite nice, he made me sign the guestbook!
I'm bunking with his little sis in the Fall Cottage. There are four of them (duh), two kids per tiny house. And it is like a real house! With two levels even.
I bought a postcard to show you. Good thing my new cell has a good camera, eh? There are four different postcards, each with a different cottage in the center and I chose mine, of course. The Spring is up on the cliff and only for campers who are experienced and here for at least a second time!
That's my bed!
And this is upstairs and the view from my balcony. The bathroom is tiny. The toilet is tinier.
It's very hot today so we didn't spend much time inside and waste the sunshine.
And Piri dunked me! The water is funky, really green and I spat it all out. Told you she's a snot! And then, when we explored the herb garden she pushed me into the ones with the red leaves and it burned and itched! Mr K gave me some salve thougha nd Piri is really sorry.
and here's a pic from outside, you can see the stairs up to the herb garden. The first aid room is just around the corner to the left.
I snatched one of the Camp Folders, it's pretty! Here's the first two pages. I looked at them while I waited for the salve to work. We'll learn how to brew our own. But without a mean Potions teacher breathing down our necks.
Then it started to rain!
We wanted to grill some sausages... and Mr. K was playing his guitar.
Good thing that there's a mess hall. I have to say though that Mr. K isn't as good at cooking as you! Or he's more used to grilling, everything he made was a little charred.
Before bedtime we spent some time telling stories. Piri is quite good at doing voices and knows the best stories.
Tomorrow we'll get up at six because fishes bite better in the morning. If we catch a big enough fish we'll learn how to grill them, that's exciting!
Till tomorrow!
Yours,
Frederica
