I’m calling you out!!!! On a roll … call, here’s where you can read about the amazing accomplishments of Sisters who earn Merit Badges. “Hear YE!”
MaryJane says: Thank you Nan! I think I’ve seen your website. South Carolina, right?
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
Howdy, girls! MBA Jane here. Working on my Beginner Level Farmgirl Grammar Badge. A new word every day for two weeks—whew! That’s a lot of reading in my big ol’ bright-red dictionary (but it totally matches my new red shoes, so whatevs).
Two weeks ago I asked what your last re-purposed project was for a chance to win a copy of the book Reinvention: Sewing with Rescued Materials.
And today we have our winner! Since my grandgirls weren’t here today, I had to go in search of some other youngsters to help us choose our winner …
Cheryl Fiske says: I make shopping bags too! They’re fun to sew, and I think much more sturdier than the ones offered in stores!

Some badges are just plain tasty. Homemade potato chips, organic grocery shopping …
Visiting Gramma Barbie in Florida this week gave me a fabulous chance to earn my Families Forever Badge. Not only was I going to be there (in Gramma’s posh retirement home—hellooooooo, pool boys), but Auntie Skipper and Auntie Kelly were visiting as well. It was the perfect chance for some good old-fashioned fun …
Game Night!
Winnie Nielsen says: Ahh the French people in general are beautiful!! I am currently in Paris on vacation and have found myself quite mesmerized by them all. Ohh, La,La!! And board games? Can I just say somebody has to lose??? That would be me. Being the youngest by many years in a family, playing games with older brothers was a sure recipe to ALWAYS be the one to lose! I still can’t figure out how they managed to win every single time.
Terry Steinmetz says: Board Games–Yeah!! When our kids lived home we had one night a week called “Family nite”, and we played all sorts of board games. That was always so much fun. Now when we get together, which isn’t as often as I’d like as they live 11 & 22 hours away from us, we play cards.Their favorite is euchre. I usually get eliminated in the first round. That’s perfectly okay though, s then I play board games with the grandgirls. Their favorite is CandyLand. They’re both very good at it. But most importantly, we are building memories for a lifetime!

MaryJane says: Welcome Carol!!!! Here’s hoping you find yourself a little glamper. I’m closing in on 63 and love it because I’m just that much closer to hitching up my glamper more.

Since I’ve been in the homemade gift-giving spirit lately, I decided to just keep on going with the flow and work on my other Stitching and Crafting Merit Badge: Scrapbooking.
Now I know what y’all are saying: has Jane been living under a rock? We’ve all been scrapbooking since like, 2003! Well, I don’t mind saying, sometimes I’m behind the times and I just haven’t gotten around to all the fun girly crafts yet. I mean, I just now learned how to stamp and that whole craze is pretty much over. Ah well.
