Inspired by Color Combos Galore, I created this layout about my years as a Girl Scout in the early '60s. All the memorabilia is from my own collection, although three of the photos just recently came into my hands. Only the color photo of my friend Ponce and I raising the flag, is one I've had since childhood. The black and white ones came to me as a result of my work on my high school class website. Reconnecting with old friends, combined with modern technology, has allowed us to share our treasures with each other! The pretty lady with the sunglasses is my own Fabulous Mother. She was one of our leaders, and we had so much fun! The little Scout dork with the glasses is me- probably the first photo of me wearing them.

You have a great Blog!
Your layouts are very creative.
It gives pleasure and is a joy to have a look at your Blog.
What a great memory. We are a Scouting family through and through - Samall the way through Cubs with me as his leader (and chairman of our pack) and Jenn as leader and district leader for both our girls. The pictures are beautiful.

Stef- so cool that you still have all that stuff! I had the same uniform and I remember that little songbook fondly. Now I'm songleader for our Service Unit, and have two troops of my own. This is exactly what I mean when I tell my leader recruits that they WILL make a difference in the life of a girl! Look how fondly you remember. This is an AMAZING layout, and I wish I could produce one of my own. Sadly all my stuff is lost to the ages. Bravo, girl!
What a beautiful layout. The song book caught my eye (I remember it well)!
