Brownie Folklore Badge
It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I’m playing catchy-up with the socials again!
Here are some super photos courtesy of 55th Aberdeen Brownies who I visited last week to help out with their Folklore Badge!
The girls heard a couple of stories of mythological creatures and went on a creature hunt before naming each creature and telling me what they knew about them. I was SO impressed with their knowledge! Tonight the girls will be doing the final part of their badge – designing badges based on the mythological creatures they know! I can’t wait to see their designs 
A lovely Birthday Party!
This is my favourite image of my favourite fairy tale hero – Tatterhood!
It really shows her pointed chin and pointed mouth, but nae the lime green eyes or unfortunately her goat!
Credit goes to artist Finnguala on deviantart for this one.
I had a great time telling this story at M’s 12th birthday party – such a great bunch of friends and family. Sorry to the Wielder Of The Hoover for the excess glitter and I hope the Happy Birthday Bleepy Thing has taken the hint and gone hush!
