Hello everyone! I am Shivani, and I am the camp counselor in charge of the WEEK #2 LETTERS HOME challenge. I hope you are enjoying our Summer Camp event so far! It is a great way to shake things up a bit at the Press here and have some fun whilst we do it!
So as you may be familiar by now, our 'letters home' events are basically journaling challenges... but with a twist! Since its a 'summer camp' theme, imagine yourself sitting around the bonfire with a nice cuppa and penning a lovely letter to someone or about something or even to your future self. The idea is to let your thoughts flow freely - don't cramp out the words - use them with abandon and I'm sure you will have a lovely message documented at the end of this challenge.
For me, when I started to look at some of these pics of my newly turned 3-year old, I wanted to write her a letter to tell her what I was thinking at the time - about the changes in her so far, and those that were still to come... why I was glad I was taking so many pictures of her and my hopes and little dreams around our family. You know - all the musings and the wonderings but converted into words.
And here is my finished page...

Here's another example by TDP Creative Team member Carrie. She told a story in letter format from her son's perspective to provide background information, and then responded with a letter of her own.

So it's simple, just follow the broad guidelines above and come up with a layout that would be a 'letter home' for you.
Some further requirements:
1. Your page must have at least 100 WORDS OF JOURNALING.
2 You page/project must be ready and uploaded into the gallery by 11:59pm PT on Saturday July 15th.
3 After you have uploaded the page in the challenge gallery, please link it up here in this thread, as well.
So that's it! Go forth and conquer those words and let's create some lovely letters! I can't wait to see what you come up with
