Sometimes our kids have the most amazing experiences when immersed in a world without adults…a world filled with kids, woods, tents and counselors!

I received a box of fantastic products from Fairfield World to play with and use in creating. The project and ideas area all mine. I think the first project I remember making as a Brownie all those years ago was sit-upon. If you have no idea what a sit-upon is, I am guessing you were never active in Girl Scouts.
