We were thinking about an elderly friend of ours who is going to be alone this Christmas because her sister (who lived with her) passed away earlier this year. And because she doesn’t live in Colorado for us to visit, my daughter decided to make her a snowflake ornament out of beads to let her know we were thinking of her along with a letter. Because we had extra materials, she decided to make ornaments for older neighbors on our block to brighten their day (and maybe their trees) along with a simple note of happy holidays. We’ve been told this really made them smile.
Due to COVID, we’ve been spending a lot of time on crafts to keep us busy so why not share them with others to keep a smile on their face during this lonely time (for some).
We want to hear how your girl is using her Girl Scout skills by taking initiative, caring for the community, and Girl Scouting at home. She can send in her story here.
