Crochet to the rescue
This weekend was too busy although a lot of fun. I don't know if I mentioned I am the leader to my daughter's Girl Scout troop. It is very rewarding to be able to spend time with her and the other 11 Daisy troops, but it can get hectic at event time. Our counsel hosted the National Girl Scout week pancake breakfast at the Elks lodge. The girls loved being waitresses for the customers. Afterwards we all went bowling. I never knew one game of 10 frames could take so long. We just ended our annual cookie sales, finally! Managing the ordering, finances, and often unorganized parents during this time can get stressful. This year leaders like myself are being rewarded for the extra stress with the chance to win a Kindle Fire!! I'd love to think I could win, but my chances are no better than the next leaders lol! Finishing out the financial reports has made me long for my "creative time"! Just me sitting in my comfy chair, hot cup of French Vanilla coffee, my new soft yarn and bamboo hook!! What total bliss that would be... maybe tonight after the munchkins are asleep, the laundry is done and the silence of the house creeps in.

I was looking for costume props ;-), but this lovely post and the previous ones are just as good.
ReplyDeleteOh I remember the days of being a girl scout leader, seems like ages ago - that little bug is now 23 and heading to grad school. My how time flies.
A couple of days ago some thieves stole money from three girl scouts selling their cookies at a grocery store. The getaway vehicle was photographed so the perps/scoundrels will likely be caught. Our entire community has joined forces to make it right for these three girls. They will be selling cookies this Saturday at the city hall. I imagine it will be busy. Here's the latest news article: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/56030810-78/police-kvenvold-theft-cookies.html.csp
It's sad that in the past month there have been a lot of articles and reports of duping or stealing from the scouts working hard to earn money to support their troops. Thank you for sharing. Props are done but needed to have them for dress rehearsal before I could snap a photo. I will be attending practice tomorrow and will try to snap a photo.
