An early Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! I invite you to take a look at the
latest article posted at Crafts for Kids at BellaOnline. I've mentioned some
simple, but cute ideas that I've seen done, as well as highlighted some others
that I'd like to try.

Patrick's Day.

Some other things I'll be thinking about this week are ways to celebrate Girl
Scout Week, which is March 9 through the 15th and, of course, Easter. One of
the things I'll share with you are how my Easter crafts go with my daughter's
Brownie troop. We will be making some cute egg decorations to donate to our
local Meals on Wheels as well as a fun bunny craft they will be able to give to their families as an Easter gift.

For Girl Scout Week, does anyone have any cute ideas for S.W.A.P.s? It seems in our area that the tradition of S.W.A.P.s is diminishing. That is such a shame because I feel one of the values of Scouting is the camaraderie that is
developed. Maybe I can do something with my troop to help continue and
revitalize this tradition. Any thoughts?

(PS March 17 to 22 is American Chocolate Week!! What a great excuse to
celebrate! Let me know if you come up with some interesting ideas to help
celebrate this grand opportunity to craft with food.)
