An idea of mine...

So I had this idea that, since we live in different places, we could take pictures of our Christmas decorations, and post them on the blog. Hmmm? As many as you want. I would like it everyone would do this, please. So show us your decorations!

I really have to start being more efficient about this...

Sorry for being so late! It's been really busy lately, so any free time I've had on the Internet has been spent doing something time-wasting and unproductive. Anyway, our last meeting was on 11/28/08. It was planned by me. Everyone was present, and we discussed future meetings a bit, specifically the gingerbread house-making meeting, more about that later. We played Scategories (Sandpiper won by a landslide), and ate pints, as a snack. For badgework, I helped Duckie with her Alice puppet a little bit. We're still working on the same badges as last time. Our task for next time was to have the puppet done. I can tell you right now that it isn't.

Our next meeting actually is going to be pretty unique, because Sandpiper, Duckie, and I (oh, and Dad) are heading down to Alabama to see Pelican after Christmas. We'll have our meeting there, planned by Pelican. We'll bring the DVD of the Christmas dance show down. As we all know, the gingerbread house meeting was postponed, so we'll be bring the houses down then. Merry Christmas!

A Slightly Belated Update...

11/08/08. So, after many "I'll do it tomorrow"s, I've finally gotten around to updating. Our last meeting consisted of me (Swallow, in case you've forgotten, and couldn't identify the picture of a Greater Striped Swallow.), Duckie, and Sandpiper (Pelican was out of town.). We discused the Girl Scout options given to us, and have decided to go see the woman's gymnastics at U-M, and something involving syrup. We also fufiled the task from last week, which was to choose an award to try to get this year in Troop Angry Swan. Duckie (a Junior) is going to do all of the Signs (Sign of the Star, Rainbow, Sun and World), and Swallow (i.e. me) is going to do the From Dreams to Reality Award. Duckie is currently working on the "Arcitecture" badge and the "Sew Simple" badge. Swallow (mig*) is working on the "Textile Arts" badge.
For badge work, we worked on the Angry Swan quilt. All of the pattern pieces and the fabric is cut out, and we have sewn together the shield.
After that we had snack (Pringles) and watched a movie picked by Duckie (Colledge Roadtrip, which by coincidence had Molly Ephraim in it, and she was in the Into the Woods revival.). The meeting was planned by Duckie.
Before the next meeting, we all must do some badgework. The next meeting will be planed by Swallow (that's me), and will be on Nov. 28, 2008.

Pelican

After last nights troop meeting my friend and I took a tour of downtown Mobile and we took lots of pictures for Ducky's architure badge. I think I got some good pictures, but won't know until I can download them to my computer. It will be interesting to see how many came out without being blurred (fast moving car vs camera being held by an injured hand....who will win?). Save some fish for this hungry pelican.
