camp crafts: God's Eye

We just got back from our annual family camping trip. It's always a good time playing at the river, hiking, roasting marshmallows story telling and crafting with the kids. This year Alivia taught a couple crafts: lanyards and God's Eyes. The God's Eye was a really fun camping craft because they got to search for sticks in the campground. Her little cousin Ella looks up to big cousin Alivia and they are so cute together.

campfire cobbler

Alivia is at girlscout daycamp this week. Yesterday the girls made their own lunch which included a peach cobbler cooked over the fire. Alivia has agreed to make this for our family camping trip. Here's the easy recipe if you want to try it out for your own camping trip.

3. lay peaches on top
4. spoon batter over peaches
5. place a few butter cubes on top of the batter
6. cook over the fire

The girls made homemade vanilla ice-cream to top their cobblers!

my mustache

The girls LOVE the mustache.


I thought my young girl scouts might think it funny to have little mustache pins. So I made a little template for them to cut and make into a swaps. My daughter brought her mustache pins to a huge event celebrating 100 anniversary of girl scouts. She exchanged her mustache with an older girl who then calls all her friends over to see her new little friend. The big girl hugs my little girl and tells her I'll never forget you and takes a picture with her. I wish I had the picture because the story is so funny and my daughter was so proud that this big girl was so impressed with her. I do have a picture of the mustache though and I have a free little template for you. enjoy.

Rainbow Unicorn Swap

Remembering back when I was 10, I loved unicorns and rainbows. So I designed a fun little unicorn with rainbow ribbons for my girl scout troop. The girls are going to a huge event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of girl scouts. All the girls will have cute little things that they made to trade with other girls called, "swaps". My troop will have the unicorns and a couple other swaps. The girls are so excited for this and can't wait to see what other girls made.
