Cozy Candles

 I don't know about all of you, but I just LOVE candles. I love the cozy, relaxed, homey atmosphere they create. Feel free to use these as backgrounds, just let me know if you use them. Thanks. :)

 This one is my favorite. :) Which is yours?

Camping Wonderfulness

My church has a family camp out every year on Labor Day weekend. So here's some pictures from it... oh, and this camp out was important because it was the 10th year straight! Wow... a whole decade of camping wonderfulness.

On our way to camp out the traffic was so heavy that we had to take a detour - right through the heart of the city!

This is what we saw as we neared the campground. Just beautiful, isn't it? :)

One of my little sisters captured this injured dragonfly.

It was so warm during camp out that a bunch of bees were attracted to the water spout. 

This was the theme verse of the 10th Annual Campout.

 Before edit and after. I am so pleased how the edit came out. :)
