Even a mention of the word linger means that this song is going to be in my head all day. Whether you're a Mmhmmer or a Mmm mmmer this cute little campfire with hidden heart flames will hopefully have you humming along too. It is the third of my Campfire Songbook patches and one of my absolute favourites. It seems only right that for every patch sold £1.00 will be donated to The World Thinking Day Fund. Since 1932, the World Thinking Day Fund has enabled girls across the world to expand their horizons, raise their voices and take on incredible challenges. You can find out more here.... https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/what-we-do/events-and-opportunities/regular-girlguiding-events/world-thinking-day/the-world-thinking-day-fund/ This patch is in no way endorsed by Girlguiding, but my way of giving something back to something close to my (and a lot of other patch collectors') hearts. Patches are 8cm in diameter. *********** As our vinyl is heat activated we'd advise not ironing directly onto the print of your finished patch nor leaving it underneath a magnifying glass in direct sunlight, nor near your pet dragon. It'll be quite happy to be washed in a normal cool wash though. We don't make our patch blanks but the people that do are super lovely, we order their patches in batches (ha, that rhymes!) so sometimes the colour can be slightly different to the ones shown on our website.

World Thinking Day is celebrated by Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world on 22nd February each year. Its aim is to bring together children from all over the world (nearly 150 countries take part) to celebrate international friendships, raise money and think about a global theme, which is changed each year. Boy Scouts also mark 22nd February but call it Founders Day. Our World, Our Thriving Future The theme for Thinking Day in 2024 is "Our World, Our Thriving Future". “The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.” Lady Bird Johnson We have many activities and resources here at Activity Village that may help you celebrate World Thinking Day and that coincide with the themes of connecting to nature and environmental sustainability.
Do you ever think...how can I expose my kids to the rest of the world? I feel like we get so caught up in our own lives that often we forget how fortunate and blessed we are. My kids have never known what it feels like to not have a safe, happy home. They have never experienced intense hunger. They are so blessed, as are Trev and I, to grow up in such a beautiful, safe, happy, and abundant part of the world. For which I am intensely grateful. However, I worry sometimes that if they never see how hard things can be...they will lose the appreciation, or worse yet, never gain it, for how blessed they are. This is something that I fret over now and then, but then quickly realize two things. A) I can expose them to these things through a lens. They can see these things online, I can tell them about current events going on in the world, I can take them to places close by that they will see those less-fortunate, etc. There are ways in which they can live safe, happy lives, yet still feel humbled by it. B) I need to make an effort to do this. It is not something I think about often, so I need to make sure I act on the thoughts I have and impressions that come WHEN they come, not put them off to be forgotten. Fortunately for me, one of those opportunities presented itself last weekend. Morgan is in Girls Scouts. They had an activity last weekend called "World Thinking Day." It was held at a church in Salt Lake, and basically it was an event where a few Girl Scout troops from around the valley did reports on different countries throughout the world. They each had their own "booth" and all the other Girls Scout Troops were invited to come and see all their displays and learn about the countries! When I heard about this activity I thought, oh...that is the same day as Morgan's birthday party. It might be too much for one day...but then the thoughts I discussed above popped into my head...I needed to take her to this! So we signed up - and boy, I was glad I did. :) Here is how it went: 1. Meet up and more Celebrating! We met up with M's troop at the Registration table so that we could all go in together. Before we went in, M's cute leaders had a fun birthday hat for her to wear and a present chock-full of crafting supplies. They all watched her open it...it was really sweet. :) 2. Learning about Distant Lands, Cultures, and People. I loved watching Morgan walking around and thinking...this is one way I can teach her about the world! Mom teaching list...CHECK! :) Do you love this face??!!! I sure did. :) This was great...world exposure and family heritage wrapped up into one! DOUBLE CHECK! (Trev's family is from England, in case you were wondering). This was some sort of a mask made in Israel, I think. :) After about 2 minutes she wanted it off. It kind of smelled funny. :) 3. Life in the Peace Corp. The last section of the event was a woman came who served in the Peace Corp. She lives with a family in Kyrgyzstan. She had pictures to show and explained to the girls how different life is this part of the world. It was pretty neat to see for myself...Morgan was pretty tired by this point so we wound up leaving a little early. She had woken up at 5 am that morning because she was so excited for her party. This presentation came around 3 p.m., about the time M was crashing. :) Even though it was a long day, I am so glad we went to this. The people who put this on did such a great job! They worked hard and I am grateful as a mom for their efforts to teach my daughter about the world. I am grateful we had and took advantage of this opportunity. I think it will be little things like this, happening often, that will help my kids realize how great they have it. Thank you Girl Scouts!

I have been looking at my green quilts lately, and thinking about how green quilts has a dual meaning these days.
To celebrate I put together a resource sheet for those new to the wonderful world of visual thinking (sketchnotes), I hope it's useful 😃 PDF can be downloaded for free makaylalewis.co.uk/2021/01/11/happy-world-sketchnote-day-...

Our Sparks, Brownies, and Guides gathered together to celebrate Thinking Day...a day late on Feb 23 since that happened to be our Guide night. We had several stations set up and the girls went around to do the activities...which focused mainly on the four World Centres and World Guiding. Then we had an indoor campfire which included a "World Flag Recipe" skit put on by the Guides... followed by World Centres fruit salad game. After the fun and games we sang Happy Birthday to Lord and Lady BP then ate cake! We only had 1:15hr to celebrate! The Sparks, Brownies, and Guides were given a little Passport and a pencil. The title "Passport" was colour coded for each branch of Guiding. They were instructed to go around to all of the stations to learn about the World Centres and World Guiding. There was a Guider/Owl posted at each station. After completing the activities they got their Passport stamped then moved on to the next station. The rest of the pages in the Passport were used for collecting autographs from each person in attendance which promoted mingling among new friends. At this station they had to locate the World Centres and other WAGGGS countries on the globe {electronic talking globe}. Also there were some International Sparks Paper Doll uniforms at this station. They got two stamps here. I had printed these Paper dolls and uniforms about 10 years ago when I was a Spark leader {yes, I save everything!} I do not know where they came from...the site is probably gone by now. But they are really cute. I glued the doll on cardboard to make it last longer...well it lasted 10 years so far. This photo is a Canadian Spark..the blue apron is a Daisy USA uniform. Our Canadian Spark uniform is still the same but I do not know about the others...they may have changed over the past 10 years. Top Left to Right: Gumnut Australia Beaver Netherlands Pippin New Zealand Bottom Left to Right: Teddy South Africa Rainbow UK Lady Bird Ireland Canadian Flag rubber stamp with red ink "Journey" rubber stamp with black ink. {I got this stamper in a GeoCache trade} At the England station we had a Pax Lodge info poster, photos of our pen pals "5th Nuneaton Brownies", a world map, paper dolls with UK Brownies Uniform, and ink/ stamper. The girls had fun playing with the paper dolls and Uniforms. {These were found on making friends.com...they have several paper dolls with paper uniforms, international clothes, and a bunch of other types of paper doll outfits}. UK Brownie Uniform English Rose rubber stamp with red ink The Switzerland station had an Our Chalet info poster {I had made these info posters about 5 years ago and have used them pretty much every year since}. I couldn't find any paper dolls for this country nor the Guiding Uniform so here they had to locate Switzerland on a map, read the info and get a stamp. Snowflake foam Stamper with silver ink The Mexico station had an Our Cabana info poster, paper dolls with traditional Mexican clothes {I couldn't find the Mexican Guiding uniform for the paper dolls}, world map, and ink with stamper. Traditional Mexican clothes Mexican Sombrero rubber stamp with orange ink The station for India had a Sangam Info poster, a world map, Paper Dolls with Guide Uniform and traditional clothing, and an elephant rubber stamp with pink ink. Traditional Indian dress and Bulbul Uniform Elephant rubber stamp with pink ink The colours of Canadian Guiding At this station the Girl Guides had learned about the different Branches of Girl Guides of Canada. We had GGC store catalogues opened to the pages of each branches' uniform. You can also see in this pic three Girl Guide dolls in uniform. The girls made an easy and quick hat craft at this station too. They chose a coloured bead to represent each of the GGC branches of Guiding { Pink=Sparks, Orange=Brownies, Blue= Guides, Red=Rangers, Blue=Guiders/Owls} and put them on a large safety pin {another smaller pin was used so that it would hang flat}. Hat Craft Around the room were several posters of International Brownie uniforms from 1985. Canada 1985 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1985 We also had a couple of similar Uniform posters from 1974 but I don`t have a photo of those yet. After about 20 minutes of free range learning at the stations we gathered around the campfire for about 20 minutes of singing. My little plug in campfire... got lots of use over the years! Guides performed a skit during campfire ... World Flag Recipe Skit Fire Owl made this beautiful cake but I did not get a chance to snap a picture before it was cut. It was the Earth, with the green land and blue water icing. It was really nice and yummy! Fire Owl's Brownie daughter helped to decorate it. A very helpful Guide delivered the cake around to everyone on this cart! Hope you all had a fun Thinking Day celebration!

This is Bertha. She is a blobfish from Australia. In 2013 she was voted the world’s ugliest animal. You might think that this would get Bertha down, but she doesn’t really care about what us humans consider to be beautiful. In the blobfish community she is considered to be quite the catch. Her nose is very droopy, her body deliciously round and her eyes are just the right size. She spends her days deep down in the ocean with many other strange creatures. She hopes to one day see the world. This pattern includes step-by-step images and written instructions. Must know how to: ● Single crochet (US) / Double crochet (UK) ● Double crochet (US) / Treble (triple) crochet (UK) ● Use ‘Magic circle’ method for crochet in the round (stitch multiple stitches within one loop and pull tight to form a circle) ● Increase ● Decrease ● Slip stitch ● Chain stitches ● only suitable for English speakers You will need: ● 100g pale pink double knitting yarn for main body ● 50g of darker pink double knitting yarn for fins and mouth ● Small amount of black double knitting yarn for eyes ● 4mm crochet hook ● Embroidery needle ● Polyester toy stuffing ● Row marker Full length is approximately 26 cm and 17 cm wide.
