SWAPS

 Today we made 3 different SWAPS of 20 each.
 Thank you to everyone who came and participated...
 Makiah and her mom, Jorja and her mom, Grace and her grandpa, Ella and her mom, Samantha and her mom and her brother, Claire, Kaitlin, Autumn, Delanie and Olivia.  You guys ROCKED out these SWAPS!



First SWAP was tic-tac-toe.  We had girls separating the colored beads and counting and then stuffing them in the bag.  Grandpa Jeff cut for us.
The girls cut out the card, they wrote Troop 6031 on the little tag, the parents cut the ribbon and they all stuffed the bags with stars.
 These are popsicles and the little note we put in the bag.  The girls wrapped pipe cleaners around the mini popsicle sticks.  We even made Bomb Pops.
Again, thanks so much for helping.  Can't wait to send one of these to Troop 30344 in Vermont.  We should be receiving our first SWAP from them as well.  Please have the girls keep these.  This will be a memory for  her when they are older.  It's FUN to collect!  Typically, SWAPS are done at events GS attend or you can find other troops to swap with.  They can keep them in a jewelry box, pinned to a large piece of felt, on a hat, etc.
