girl guides fun....

last night i went with 3 other guides leaders to this really neat adult only craft night that guides just started each month. we made some really cool crafts. they gave us each this mini storage box and it was filled with everything we would need. we were there for 2.5 hours and created:

• matchbox 12 days of christmas (just need to fill it with little trinkets)
• jar art (cool rustic country mason jar filled with candies)
• slide card (snow themed with a slide on it - very cool!)
• gift card (using stampin up products - holds 2 tea bags to give to someone on those cold winter nights)
• gift toppers (pipe cleaner wreath and a stocking)

it was a lot of fun. it was only $15 and we created all these neat projects. we came up with ideas for new projects for the sparks, brownies, guides and pathfinders. i have all these neat gifts to give this christmas now.

lots of fun! even got to listen to barenaked ladies holiday cd janna! (inside joke.... janna tried to play it on our last retreat and everytime she put it on, someone would take it off). so, i finally heard it (a few times!) and it is a good cd!
