Happy Thinking Day!

Today, February 22 is Girl Guide and Girl Scout Thinking Day, a time to learn about Scouts from around the world.  In lots of new troops, girls receive their WAGGGS pin, which is worn about their country's pin. For many children this is their first in-depth look at children in another country.  A great tradition!




In other news, my quilts in the Margaret Anderson Trust Fund charity auction on Ebay are going through the roof.  For the winner of the arrowhead quilt, I've also made a pillow that is similar, along with 4 matching mug rugs.  The Madison quilt winner will get a poster of OF from the WPA Ranger Guide series.


I am truly amazed at the prices being offered for the quilts.  I thought maybe maybe maybe at least one of them would fetch $50 (and if it didn't I would buy it back).  Holy cow.


So you have a day and a half to bid on these and many other way cool items.  The auction was organized by rangers at Grand Canyon National Park so there's lots of good Arizona stuff to check out.

Bid early, bid often!
