I need ideas for Girl scout Junior exchanges.?
My daughter has Girlscout camp in a couple of weeks and we have to make 100 exchanges. These are little trinkets the girls trade with each other. Usually they are pins that they can pin to their sashes or hat, etc. Our's have to be movie themed. I originally thought of buying the tiny boxes of Dots and Milk Duds and hot gluing pens on the back. The girls get to eat the candy and have a 'movie candy' pin for teh exchanges. Guess what! They don't sell the tiny boxes this time of year.
Any ideas? I'm generally quite creative but I'm stumped on this one! The movie theme just won't come for me!
Help!
Thanks for the suggestions. I've got to get busy on these but my mind was just stumped!
What do you think when you hear the word movie?
I still think Mickey Mouse, 101 Dalmatians and Spiderman.
So would a Disney Theme do?
Make mouse heads out of buttons, or foam and glue-on eyes?
Movies is also Glamour, so why not make 'fake diamonds' by using faceted glass beads on bits of string like the mobile-phone jewelry.
What movies have you and your girl recently watched? Anything from that you can use?
Take any detail out of that movie, if you can get the newest fashion craze your daughter will be ahead in the game.
And if it is something she can make herself (with a little help from you,) it is even better. It will be her thing, not yours.

Get It Together, Girl! Fashion Tips On Achieving A More Polished Look Cheaply
Have you ever taken notice of a female that just looks like she's got it together from head to toe around the clock? It seems that this sophisticated lady has a chic appeal that just never stops. Even on her worst days, she turns the heads of everyone in the room. She is a show stopping, runway bound, fancy and stylish lady that you wish would share her brilliant fashion tips with you. Well, the good news is that no matter what ethnicity or social economic background you're from, you can delight in being one of the more "polished" well-put together women that other women love to envy. And the better news is that the show stopping abilities don't have to come with a costly price tag. You can achieve that "polished" look by adhering to these 7 simple fashion tips that guarantee you success in the workplace and lure the most desired company your way!
1. Preparation is key. As with most things, preparation is essential for achieving goals. Start by planning how you want to look or what look you desire and begin working towards that objective. Do you want a more practical conservative look or are you aspiring for a trendier look? Are you seeking business casual attire or a more sleek elegant style? Whatever your preferred style may be, plan for it and then get ready to shop. Before you shop, make a list. List all of the basics that you need and stick to your list, rather than going on impulsive shopping trips. This will save time and money. Consider browsing through some catalogs and fashion magazines to discover fashion ideas that catch your eye. Be sure not to overkill on the same type of pieces and colors schemes. This gives your wardrobe a repetitive appearance. You don't want to be known around the office as "the girl with the gray sweaters."
2. Check your closet first. Most likely, you'll find that mixing and matching pieces and maybe adding a new piece here and there to jazz it up can spice up most of the pieces that you already own. Another money saver is to get rid of undesired items in your wardrobe by having a garage sale and using the money for more updated pieces.
3. Shop for Bargains. You don't have to compromise quality when you bargain shop. You can find some good quality pieces at some of the major department stores clearances, as well as TJMaxx, Marshall's, and even Target for a fraction of the prices that you'll find the similar pieces at expensive boutiques. Find out the day that their new merchandise arrives, and go for it! This will keep you from rummaging through leftovers. You will be amazed at the treasures you'll find for a little bit of nothing.
4. The Bare Necessities. The basic necessities in your wardrobe can make a world of difference if chosen correctly. For these pieces, quality is a must. Most wardrobes are not complete for a professional environment if they do not include the basics: white blouse, blazer, jacket, black slacks, trouser jeans, black suit, black skirt, and last but not least, the perfect little black dress. Once you have these quality basics you can add to them some colorful pieces and mix and match as needed. The key is to compliment these basics by accentuating with trendy pieces. Most importantly, avoid limiting outfits that only go together... this will only restrict your wardrobe. Play around with mixes and matches that achieve a new look every time.
5. Layer your Look! The layered look is definitely in! You can piece an old blouse from your existing wardrobe with a fresh blazer, or take a tee that you've become bored with and pair with a sweater for a more polished look. Layering your look always gives a more refined effect.
6. Choose clothes that look good on you. Let's face it, as much as we'd like to, not everyone can sport every look! One significant piece of advice is:
If you don't feel comfortable in it, chances are it's because it is not flattering on you. Form fitting is always best for a well-put together look. Clothes that don't fit well look unprofessional and shabby. Discover the clothes that best flatter your figure and stick with them. Be on the safe side, and simply ask a friend, "How do I look?" Make sure that it is someone who will offer honest constructive criticisms. And always, be your worst critic!
7. Accessorize!!! Have some fun with your look by adding a few beaded long necklaces to an otherwise plain outfit. Throw on a big belt with those jeans on top of that long sweater! Add a splash of color to that black suit with a playful blouse. Make your attire enjoyable by jazzing it up with bold costume jewelry, belts, sashes, pins, and shawls. Be creative with your garnishes! Accessories always catch the eye and complete any outfit.
Have fun with your new-sophisticated look. Be creative, but maintain your professionalism. Happy shopping!!!
