meeting with no photos

that will never happen. i ALWAYS have my camera and am always documenting. But this last month i had a computer mishap and lost 2 albums... they were downloaded but written over. (OH FRET!) I am still attempting to recover them, but it isn't looking hopeful. I will say that this meeting involved voting for a THINKING DAY country... which was VERY difficult. i was tied 3/3/3 with 10 girls and 1 girl voted twice. so we RE-VOTED, SAME thing happened, but it was different girls not voting and then voting twice. It also involved a huge mess that i documented. LOTS of tissue paper flowers and scraps! If and when i find the photos - i will post them and share!

I am..... posters

I was excited about these posters. I had the idea to have them talk about what made them who they were... what qualities they posses that make them the awesome girls they are. Then my mom suggested passing the posters so that each girl would get to see what their friends think of them as well. I wasnt sure the best way to do it, because not all girls can spell what they want to write and I didnt want the girls to get upset if someone wrote something wrong on their poster, or in a place they didnt want it. SO - we used prewritten stickers. It was nice to have so many helpers. Mayas mom, Amber, and her sister Angel were here to help as well as Cecilia and Ally from an older girl scout troop. They were at our meeting working on a patch to serve a healthy snack to a younger troop. She brought grapes and pretzels. My mom was also there to help. it was also another gorgeous wednesday (we are really lucking out on weather) so the girls got to play in the backyard also. I think the posters they made turned out wonderful!
