Hours: M, W, Th, F, Sat - 10:00-5:00,
            Closed Tuesday and Sunday. 

Mary Shipley is so much fun. I met her while attending a Girl Scouts Camp in Utah County. It was so much fun because the people made it fun. Cause I don't really like sleeping away from my own bed... but meeting new friendly faces is a plus. So, if you are looking to get your daughter into the Girl Scouts, it's happening all around us. And it's not just a program that sells Girl Scout Cookies - that's just a fundraiser to pay for camp and all the other fun stuff. Contact me and I will put you in touch with someone if you're interested. Or, did you know, you could even start your own troop?!

We've been having more fun together lately since we both sit on the Children's Museum Board - above see us dressed up for the annual Halloween Party - it's one of the biggest events that the St George Children's Museum hosts!

Anyway, I totally thought Mary would make her gingerbread house out of Girl Scout cookies this year because she did that the last two times... but she surprised me because she didn't. She instead made this simple yet elegant design which is on display at the Children's Museum now. 




Come see it on display between Wednesday, Dec 8 and Saturday, Dec 11 - be sure and get your stamp on your map to collect your prize at our giveaway event Saturday, Dec 11, 1:00-4:00 PM at the Atwood Innovation Plaza - Homemade for the Holidays Market. I will be at the Children's Museum booth with prizes for the first 50 people to turn in their completed stamped map - so it should contain 17 holiday stamps!

See ya then :-)

That was back when we sold them at auction and this one was first to get bought
and the plan was they, the buyers, were gonna eat this house!
