Girl Scouts Celebrate 100 yrs!!!

 

 

 

On March 12, 2012 Girl Scouts officially had its 100th Birthday! Can you believe that? 100 yrs of Girls learning to be strong, determined, responsible adults. I’m very proud to be part of this huge group.

Our local Service Unit got together with a neighboring one, and we set to work on a 100th Birthday Celebration. I not thinking clearly again, decided to help with this committee.

After months of work, and lots of people putting in some work, we had our Celebration on April 21st. It wasn’t exactly what I was thinking it would be, but it was a nice event, and lots of Girls attended.

One of our local Juniors designed the patch for us, and she did an amazing job. What do you think?

 

There were decade tables set up… Here is the one my Co-leader and I worked on (mostly my co-leader, did I mention she is amazing?)

We did origami for our activity…

 

Others did planting flowers, coloring, jump roping, mini sit-upons, and such.

They had a really cool era room, with stuff from way, way back! Isn’t this Brownie Uniform cool? I wish that they still had the jumper.. I think it is cuter than the skirt they have now.

 

It was a long, but nice day. The girls had a blast!

Monkey Man moves up in rank…

 

 

Its that time of year again… Monkey man, had Crossover this past weekend. It was a crazy weekend, at that.. but I was able to pull it all together, and make it on time to his Crossover. (I hate missing anything that my kids do)

This year, really wasn’t a huge deal.. as he moved up, but it isn’t a huge move. This year he was in Weeblo’s and so at crossover he moved to Weeblo 2. Which is where he will be for another 6 months (possibly a year, depends on what they plan on doing) and then he will move to Boy Scouts.

 

I can’t believe he will be in Boy Scouts next year. It seems so weird to think that he is getting that big on me. I love to see him gain that independence through Cub Scouts though, and that he and his dad enjoy so much together with it.

He earned the scroll for wearing his uniform to every meeting this year.

Here is to another year of Scouts!!!

Check back this summer, to hear about our crazy two weeks at Cub Scout Day Camp. Hubby and I are both volunteering this year… and the theme is the Wild West! Should be interesting!

UPrinting Giveaway:

Have you ever heard of UPrinting? Let me tell you a little bit about them. They use vegetable/soy based inks. Along with recycled paper types. You can see a proof before you order. (that is huge for me, I hate getting something and not being happy with it) If you need help they have 24 hr Customer Service.

I found their website very easy to use. It is very self explanatory. On the right, they have a list of all their current promotions, so you don’t have to go searching for them. Plus a section with all their popular items, if your not sure what you want to get.

They also offer free sample kits, so you can see what their papers are like. This is great for any business.

I’m thinking of getting this picture as a Print Canvas what do you think?? To put on my new living room wall..

I’m excited to be able to offer one of my lucky readers a print canvas!

Here are the details:

One lucky winner will receive a 16x20 Rolled Canvas Print. Which you can add a 2-inch border, or no border. It will be a 1 Business Day Turnaround, and Free Shipping.

Cheerios Giveaway:

You know one cereal I don’t ever think gets old, that me and my kids will always eat is Cheerios! We love them! Cheerios have so much versatility to them.. We love to eat them plain, with a bit of honey or sugar, with banana, blueberries, strawberries, or even raspberries. The combinations are endless!

Well now, you can go to your favorite club store and buy Cheerios in there new packaging. They are 2 boxes, that can come apart, for easier storing and pouring. Plus it minimizes the packaging, and air in the bags, so you get more product. Check it out here.

You can currently buy them at any Sam’s, Costco, or Bj’s store.


Best part!!! Two of my lucky readers can win new 2 box cheerio packaging.
