Girl Scouts Swaps

I talked to a nice lady yesterday about Girl Scout Swaps
For those of you who don't know, (I didn't), these are little hand made
gifts that girl scouts swap with other troops, troop leaders etc.

They often represent something about the giving Girl Scouts home area

The lady who educated me is Deb Demer
Some of the examples she gave me, representing her home in Texas, are

"Deep in the Heart of Texas"
Materials:
3X3 zip loc bag (size you often see for small jewelry)
dirt, Texas dirt of course
Texas shaped Confetti
Cactus Shaped Confetti
Cowboy Hat Shaped Confetti
a small piece of twine tied like a lasso
Heart Confetti
Instructions for creating the "swap"
Put a small amount of dirt in the bag
add Texas Confetti, Cactus Confetti, Cowboy Hat Confetti, the lasso and 1 Heart Confetti
Close and label "Deep in the Heart of Texas"
Hang a tag on it with your name and troop #

You could adapt this for your home state

For instance if you live in Florida

Materials would include
Sand
Flamingo Confetti
Seashell Confetti
Palm Tree Confetti
Sun Confetti

A creative name for this one might be
"Relaxing on the Floriday Beach"
