Getting Giddy with the Guide Group

01/08/2010 at 11:13 pm (Uncategorized)

It was great fun training up a group of guide leaders in preparation for a massive celebration camp this summer. Blast 100 is celebrating 100 years of girl guiding with a three day camp packed full of activities including, you guessed it, Rubbish Revamped crafting.

Six lovely guide leaders trouped in to learn how to make CD sun-catchers, greeting card boxes and button bracelets.  Things did indeed get a bit giddy when the buttons came out, especially when organiser Louise delved into the box of nearly 5,000 buttons supplied for camp stocks.

“A fantastic evening – really love all the crafts. So friendly – a great experience”

Hope you all have a fantastic time at Blast 100 and look forward to seeing you again for some more crafting.
