Sarah's Deciples!?!?!?!

Hello!

In the time from my last post to this quite a lot has happened! For one I have got my year nine options back (options are what we call our extra GCSE subjects that we get to choose) Next year along with all my compulsory subjects I will be doing Spanish (come in handy if I go with Guides), History (remember my WW2 project?) and Fine art! I will have to take some pictures of my sketch book to put on here! though at the moment I am mainly drawing Gnomes (I <3 Gnomeo and Juliet!) so there are a lot of stills from Gnomeo and Juliet and some Gnomes I made up in my head like the ones off my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1988365185246.2115734.1126815952)

Also I have joined the Out door team challenge (again as I did it last year and got soaked)! The final list of the teams was drawn out of a hat! I screamed when my name was read out! When we had a team discussion (Team B for me) I was voted the "Captain!" of (and I had no say in the name) Sarah's Deciples! a bit cringe worthy since it makes me a deciple of...well ME!!

Anyway,

Lets Go Fly a Kite! ...Maybe to Camp :-)

Hello!

Its two hours since the end of Guides! At Guides we are doing the Spring part of our Four seasons badge and as part of that we made Kites (and flew them by a lot of running and spinning around)! There was no wind so we looked like a lot of raving loonies running and screaming at the Kites to fly (actually it might just have been me screaming :P ) it was so much fun that it took up almost the whole night! we only just had enough time for a quick game of rounders were we lost a ball found another and drained a flooded part of the play ground! and my team won! so all in all it was a really good night!!

Now I thought I would talk to you about Camps! After YELL was cancelled I thought that would mean no more camps for the rest of the year as I didn't have any lined up! But I might just have turned it around what do you think?

  • International Selection Weekend (2nd to 3rd July)
  • Kilham Guides Camp (23rd to 28th July)
  • Curtain up! (2nd to 4th September)
  • Big Gig 2011 (2nd October)
  • Unit Sleepover (November)
And there will be lots more (hopefully) if I get into the International County team!!!
What camps have you got lined up?

I absolutely love my Pen Pals!!

Hello!

This is my second post about pen pals! In my first I was looking for a pen pal and that is how I got into contact with Abby Williams my very first Pen pal! We are still constantly messaging each other through facebook, Blog comments, MSN, Email and post!

After meeting Abby I also put a post on the WAGGGS Facebook wall and it resulted in three more pen pals!!:

  • Au Yeung (in Hong Kong)
  • Puteri Nur Najwa (Malaysia) 
  • Magda Grabowska (Poland)
I talk to them mainly through Facebook but sometimes we E-mail each other!

I love having Pen pals, I learn about what guiding is like where they are, all the trips they go on and Sometimes trading badges!!

I recommend Pen Pals with all my heart!!

T-shirt Time!!

Hello!

So last night was my very first BP night!! T-Shirt time! and it went quite well...I think :)


 We decorated T-shirts using lots of random things and fabric pens!
 When my time had finished nobody wanted to move onto the next activity!
Here are our T-shirts!!!





Here is me and mine!!
I had some "help" with mine, I let a guide who forgot her t-shirt decorate the back of mine with me as I had a clear image of the front it has the promise on it with a campfire and tent!! Anyway she put PASTAFISH in big capitals on the top the a peace symbol with a fish on it in the middle and A.K.A. PACAFIST on the bottom!!

Just back from Guides!

Hello!

I just got back from guides!! :D

We are doing the spring/summer part of our four seasons badge so we did a scavenger hunt and some umbrella races!?!?! it was really fun! :)

But the most important thing I have to say is we got a letter about a weekend at Guideacres (best Guide camping place ever!! right across from a scout camp!) and it was for an international opportunity weekend! If I get a place I might get to go trips to Switzerland or India or other awesome countries! and I could tell you all about it so fingers crossed that I get a place!!! :D

I'm Back from being busier then ever! :)

Hello!
I haven't posted much over half term because I have been so busy with My Nana and Grampa's Golden wedding anniversary!

BUt I did have time for some guidey stuff, I did quite a bit towards my BP night (on the 15th) and I also made this:
It is a little scrap book to use during my BP and onwards! :) It hasn't really got a Guide theme as I used loads of stuff from my scrap box, but it is really cute any way! I am going to keep it the I will take pictures of it weekly so you can see all my bits and bobs from that weeks guides, I made it because I loved filling my Centenary one up!

I have also unearthed the fear of my unit... dun dun duhhhhhh....
It is my Wind up torch, that during "Poacher '08" wound up everyone on my sub-camp! I apparently wound it up in my sleep and the noise was so loud it woke everyone up, except me! Oh I can't wait to show them it tomorrow, I really wish you could see their faces when I have my torch.... Mwah ha ha ha... lol! :D

I also today got a package off ebay! It was a old Brownie belt with money pouch, but unfortunately it was tiny so we made it into a strap to go around my Camp Blanket and the pouch will hold the badges that need to be sewn on to it!

Isn't it the cutest belt ever!?!?!? it was only 28" so we had to make a hole but the previous owner had made some all ready so it didn't ruin a perfect item worthy of worship! :)

And in history we are studying the Plains Indians and our teacher Mr Rees is so funny, he gave us "Indian names" such as Many Thorn's for a girl called rose, Bloody Nose for a boy who just had a nose bleed, Many Buttons, Many Pens etc. etc. but when it came to me he had obviously had my Guides on mind! my "Indian name" is (Girl) Guiding Light! It was probably the closest to a real Indian name in the class, even sir had one "Non Matching Tie"!

I can't think of anything else "Guidey" that happened since my last post so...
