It has been a while since I last posted. I was busy working up in cottage country for the better part of this past week. Was hit with some of the snow they got, but was lucky enough to be south of Orillia by the time the worst of the storm hit on Friday.
This means that I made it to Provincial Annual on time. I had a fantastic week-end meeting new friends and learning new skills that I will be applying to my unit program planning. Last night we were entertained by the Drum Cafe. They were so much fun and we had lots of laughs and fun.Who knew that drumming could be so much fun!Tag: Girl Guides
So it has been a while since I last posted. I have been putting my new supplies to good use. I made a number of bookmarks last week-end towards my swaps for Provincial Annual coming up.
Tonight was Brownie Enrollment. The girls were so excited to say their promise in front of everyone. It was great. Have just about finished my skirt. I only have the bottom hem left to finish off. It is exciting that the skirt is definitely wearable and I learned so many thing during my classes. I have put together some of my ornaments from the Star Bright Kit and from the new Country Living kit. They are as nice as they look in the pictures and again they are quick to put together.It has been a busy week so far. Last night I went up to Barrie after work for a meeting to plan the summer program for Doe Lake Girl Guide Camp. We worked into the wee hours of the morning (1:30 am) getting ideas down on paper. It took us a few hours to get home since the snow was coming down straight at us along the 400. We pulled off at Bradford and then made our way over to Yonge to head the rest of the way home. It made for a very late night and quite the adventure.
Tonight was our Brownie Halloween Party! There were some very creative costumes. Another unit had invited us to join in their fun and the girls had a great time. We started off with a mummy wrap contest and then moved on to some science experiments and bobbing for apples. Sunday evening I managed to get a large portion of my skirt finished so it is giving me more time to do work on some of my other crafts.I am looking forward to my latest order from Stampin’ Up! to come in as I ordered an ornament kit, some great Christmas stamp sets, felt snowflakes and lots of paper and punches. Can’t wait to have fun with all of them. I am planning on making some garland with the snowflakes. I am also waiting for my calendar kit, so it will be fun to decorate a calendar for the coming year. It may even end up being one of my Christmas presents this year.
