We attended one of the pre-camp meetings. This would've been a huge waste of our time if it weren't for the little words "flashlight" "decorating" and "contest" uttered in combination with "I'm the reining queen. No one beats me." ( I must make it clear that I didn't say this, the camp director did. I've never been in a flashlight decorating contest before.)
HA! Until NOW!!! HA!
I love a challenge. Especially in a category I know I'm good at. It's on baby. Abbey straitened up and looked interested for the first time too, she was definitely on board.
Abbey- "Momma. Do you think we could decorate a flashlight?"
Me- "Absolutely."
Abbey- "Do you think we might win?"
Me- "Oh Abbey, you don't even need to worry about it.
They won't know what hit em"
Abbey and Me- (rubbing our hands menacingly) "heh heh heh eh heh, excelent."
I had drawings of 10 different concept flashlights the following day. After presenting them to Abbey we had to decide the best materials to achieve the best look.
Materials: model magic, markers, craft foam, and stick on jems.
Did she win? OH YAH SHE DID!!! WHOOOOOO!!!
See ya next year!

That's one awesome flashlight. I've never even heard of a flashlight decorating contest and here you've been doing it for years. Seems as thought your years of practice has paid off.
