December 19 December 18 MeetingTonight's meeting was our annual Christmas party. Secret sister gifts were given in a ceremony that we have been perfecting for years. The girls always manage to get really well-thought-out gifts for each other within their strict budget. Everyone was pleased.
Mrs. M deserves much kudos for her inspired gifts this year. EVERY girl got the same book and EVERY girl is HAPPY with it. Now that's a feat I have never been able to achieve. Congratulations, Mrs. M ... you win the best gift giver award this year!
My own gifts were, alas, delayed in shipping. I am so disappointed. I gave small gifts of candy and notes of apology with a promise that they are indeed getting gifts from me. The shipper just did me wrong this year. I guess we'll have a second Christmas in January.
Food was eaten, strange discussions were engaged in (normal for us), and fun was had by all. From their new books, I expect we'll see a lot of innovative T-shirt designs next year! I can't wait!
Until Next Year, Girl Scouts!
Mrs. B December 11 December 11 MeetingTonight's meeting went well. All members present and accounted for. All current and future leaders present and accounted for. Assembly of Christmas decorations (and various other crafty type things) took over the agenda.
We made:
1 pine cone Christmas tree
1 pink bead garland
1 pine cone angel with filigree wings and rose halo
1 gold and green spirit stick
several beaded bracelets
several barrettes
some pendants
and a big mess.
Boomba left with glitter in her hair and eyes and clothes. Hot glue stringers were everywhere. Green spray painted gravel adorns my driveway.
We had a lot of fun. Merry Christmas, y'all! Next week, we party!
Until then,
Mrs. B December 05 December 4 MeetingTonight's meeting was quiet with only half the troop present. Pugnatious had college prep to attend to, FamilyGuy was ill, and no one knows what happened to Princess.
BooBooKitty, as leader-of-the-month, reported that shopping for the Giving Tree project went well. All gifts are bought, Boomba has them in her car and the troop will sort and bag them for delivery at a later date. They came in under budget, so the funds will be returned to the troop finances and recorded in the log.
We then headed outside with flashlight and baskets to collect pine cones for a craft project. We are leaving them to dry out for a week to see if they will open up better. A tall thin glass bottle that was the base for last year's Christmas tree decoration was decoupaged into a tissue paper stained glass creation ... very pretty. Smaller craft projects were taken up when it was done. Several tissue paper covered ball ornaments and a button person reside on the table waiting for a holiday home.
The financial report for Cookie sales has been turned in. I suspect that all the figures are right and we'll have cookies to deliver in January as usual.
We have only two more meeting before we break for the holidays ... next week's meeting will have to finish up any stray projects and nail down the Christmas party. The following week we'll have our annual celebration, secret-sister gifts, and plenty of food! Then we'll have two weeks with no meetings. In January, FamilyGuy will be our leader-of-the-month.
Until Next Week,
Mrs. B |
