Girl Scout Ornament Exchange 2010

Every year, the Girl Scouts at my youngest's elementary school participate in an ornament exchange. The girls make three of the same ornaments: one to keep, one to trade with another Girl Scout and one to give to charity. It is a crazy loud event but one that reall speaks to the holiday and the spirit of Girl Scouts.

Here is what we made/traded this year along with the participation patch:

Friday Foto Fun with Homemade Ornaments
