My Brownie Sash...missing my Farthest North Girl Scout Council top patches- I should see if I can still get those. I wish I could remember my troop number but that too is also sadly lost to the dust of memory.

If you look closely you can see 1993 and 1994 patches!

My Junior sash... also included a few melted patches. I will NEVER iron on patches again- that was a disaster I never care to repeat! I'm not entirely sure why I chose a  sash instead of a vest here bu...

Look at this cat enticing tree! LOL So much fun! Do you have a cat that climbs your Christmas Tree, knocks it down, and subsequently destroys all of your ornaments? I've seen many people fighting over dominance of the tree with their kitties. I've seen so many people decide to tie their trees to the wall..  I have extra persistent kitties and here is how I beat them every year!

#ExploringNewWorlds Challenge Day 13  Hmm, making the antagonist sad... The Platonians are the antagonists in Visionary From The Stars. The Military Guild doesn't have many opportunities to show me sadness, though some of their friends and family members have left the guild in favor of a more peaceful life.

#ExploringNewWorlds Challenge Day 11 Hmm, this is a fun one! How about something for each of the Star Traveler crew! Laurie Kingston, the main character in Visionary From The Stars loves learning in her spare time. When she is trying to relax you would most likely find her reading a book. She has gone for walks on the beach with her friend Chris when she really needed to get out and get some fresh air though. Chris' idea of a good relaxation activity is to play video games, though he has had....

She mourns the loss of her friends when a few of them get killed. She has a big heart and always wants to help others, which is why she joined Exandra's Caretakers Of the Peace, or ECOPS for short.

#ExploringNewWorlds Challenge Day 9 What makes your protagonist angry!  Laurie Kingston is pretty level headed, she doesn't get angry much but others being stubborn can sure get under her skin! But here... don't take my word for it, see for yourself! We must make it, we must, Laurie thought to herself.“Hopefully they can’t climb trees,” Chris muttered to himself.If only we can make it to the edge of the marsh, mused Tarpin. He had a plan.It was a narrow escape when they finally...
