ACA Summer Art Camp

Summer vacation is upon us and if you are a week into it and ready to send your kids out the door here is a great way to do it!

The Atlantic Center for the Arts is holding a Summer Art Camp. The camp is held at Harris House in Yurick Studios. The final session will take place at ACA’s main campus, in the beautiful Leeper Studios. The camp is open to children ages 6 to 12 years old.

Each weekly session in the eight-week program features three classes designed to give participants an opportunity to explore ideas of art and culture through a variety of art forms.

Participants will meet new friends and take home artwork every week. There is downtime for snacks, stretching, games and lunch.

The Young Masters exhibition in ACA’s Harris House Gallery will feature artwork made in camp. An opening reception will be held on Saturday August 3, 2013 featuring artwork by camp participants.

The Camp is held each week Tuesday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. It is $100.00 for ACA Members and $125.00 for non-members. They do offer scholarships for each session.

Imagination Library

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is awesome! It is also available in Southeast Volusia County through the Friends of the Library. This great program gives you the opportunity to get your child reading with you at a young age.

Here is how it works, if you live in Zip Code 32168 or 32169,  register your child online at Imagination Library or pick up a registration form at the NSB Public Library. Each month a new book will be mailed to your home in your child's name. This program is FREE and a new book will come each month until your child reaches 5 years of age. What a great way to read to your child from the time they are born!

If you have questions about the program, call the the NSB Library or stop by.

Sunday Stumble - Sites I Like

Disclaimer: Picture totally unrelated to anything written below. I just like it. 

I am fighting a crappy head cold, or allergies or something the past two days, so today I sat around and caught up on all my favorite websites. I thought I would share a few here, since I had nothing of any value to offer tonight.

Infarrantly Creative - there is something for everyone to LOVE on this site. She has giveaways, how to's for all sorts of things including what to do with things she picks out of the trash (furniture etc.) I am a renowned trash picker so this is pure heaven for me.

Organized Home - in my imaginary perfect world I would do everything on this blog. However in my not so perfect real world, it ain't happening. I still love to read it and once in awhile I will actually do some of it. It does work!

Skinny Taste - Yum, great recipes. I have made many of her recipes. Wonderful! Love!

Dr. Oz - What is not to love about Dr. Oz. So much good information.

While we are talking about Doctors, here is another one I follow and like Dr. Andrew Weil.

I Breathe, I'm Hungry - great recipes, most low carb and/or gluten free. Good Stuff.

Goodreads - great site for keeping track of books you want to read. I use it frequently when I want to keep track of the books in a series. Make sure I read them in order. Nice site.

The Cheap Gourmet - shameless plug for my friend Kathy - she does have great recipes and resources, easy to navigate and she lives in NSB. Can't beat that!

Frugally Sustainable - she has all sorts of stuff you can make yourself. Good for the environment stuff. It is pretty easy too. Has to be, I have done some of them.

The Vintage Wren - This is just a pretty blog, pretty pictures, lots of gorgeous photography.

That is enough for today, I hope you find one you like! Enjoy the week!
