Brownie Camp and Brownie Crafts

Did I every say how much I hate not having a digital camera? Well here is a SCANNED image of a sock snowman I made last night. The girls will be making these this weekend (our camp theme is Christmas) so I needed an example to show them. Scanning doesn't do anything for this cut little guy. He is stuffed with rice so he sits so well and is wonderful to squeeze and form into weird expressions. I found the instructions here. (check our a picture of ones completed by her kids here)


Sock Snowman

I just joined a Girl Scout Swap Board to get ideas for those little crafts that the girls and Leaders cover their hats with (man, I've seen some women with so many that you can barely see their hat colour underneath!). A few girls on te SWAP board were talking about a SWAP idea to represent a frazzled leader. Here is my take on one. It is made using a recyled pop can tab, some pipe cleaners, google eyes and a safety pin. Oh and if you really want to know about swaps you can start here (but don't get addicted - don't say I didn't warned you - but they are cute little crafts that kids LOVE to do!)

Oh and just so you know SWAPS are Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere or to SWAP - Share With A Pal


Frazzled Leader Swap

From the looks of her, my frazzled leader (brownie colours are blue and orange) could be a good start for a halloween pin too!
