growing up in camp fire, i remember clearly making my indian collar and gown with my mom. it was a long process of planning then making then elaborately decorating and embellishing both pieces. my mom went crazy with the details and made sure all the girls in our group had gorgeous gowns. when we started this fifth year as a group, i realized that next year the girls would no longer wear the vests. it hit me then that they would be making collars and gowns this year, graduating up into the higher levels of camp fire. how did this happen so fast? we just flew through five years (side note, this blog was started when i became a leader so 5 years of blogging has flown by as well!) lets just say there were many teary eyed moms (and a dad) working with their daughters at the collar making workshop. you could feel the excitement in the room radiating off these grown up girls while they worked on something they have been waiting years to make.
she wore it home and would have slept with it on had i let her.
AWESOME!
