Because my troop rocks. Because our parents of our Girl Scouts rock. Because they deserve the best….. I made them all goody bags with World Market to share at the end of the year parent/daughter camping trip in Estes Park.

I received a box of fantastic products from Fairfield World to play with and use in creating. The project and ideas area all mine.

If you were, you missed out but it’s not …

Zoe is leaving for Girl Scout camp TODAY and we are so ready and excited for her. She is going alone and having a little anxiety about making new friends. We get to drop off mail for her at the Trading Post so we created a package a day that will support her for her first time at sleepover camp.
