Have I Mentioned That I Hate Glitter?

Most of my time yesterday was spent working on SWAPS: planning what I was going to do, buying supplies, and putting them together.  I'm still not done.

If you are or have been a Girl Scout, you probably know what SWAPS are.  SWAPS are small, keepsake objects that are traded by Girl Scouts and Girl Guides.  The objects are usually attached to a camp hat with pins, which is why many Scouts say the acronym stands for Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere.  

For the Girls' World Forum, we're supposed to bring 150-200 SWAPS that represent our region (in our case, Alabama).    

What am I working on?  Well, I'll give you a few hints.

It involves 180 tiny Ziploc bags full of star-shaped confetti,

tiny disposable Communion cups,*

simulated water,

brown food coloring paste,

and coffee stirrers.

Any guesses?

*Ever since my mother and I found out how much Communion cups cost, we've been brainstorming different ways we can use them in craft projects.  You can buy 100 cups for $5 or 1000 cups for $15 from the Christian bookstore.  (And they are SO cute!)

(Special thanks to Jessica P. for helping me fill all of those bags with confetti and glitter!)
