Well, how did we miss sharing this yummy mini quilt by Lucy (9) who designed it herself during our special Mini Quilt Project class a few weeks back. You might have guessed that she’s a fan of doughnuts.
Oh nuts!

Cool!
Saturday, December 24, 2016
The newspaper is top notch for staying informed and still so for all of its reuse abilities. Take these newspaper straws, just a quick roll up with a little tape and now we’ve got a whole new level of creative potential! We’re thinking they make a great material for a S.T.E.A.M. project for starters!
Gifts!
Thursday, December 15, 2016
We had a fun and festive field trip morning with the K/1 kids from O.P.E.N. Classroom of Thousand Oaks.
They made personalized holiday ornaments and keepsakes of their own designs for family and friends from wood blocks and such.
Girls Club Rules!
Thursday, December 15, 2016
We had our last Girls Club class of the fall series today. It’s been heartwarming to spend weeks of Wednesdays with this great group of young ladies. They bonded, befriended, supported, discovered, explored, created and grew into more of who they are meant to be. confidence is finding your you.
Wednesdays!

Today marks something new at CReATE! Come in on “Easy Craft Wednesday” to make something simple we have planned in addition to your other creating.
It’s our way to bring you something we think is really cool and fun to try!
Today’s “Easy Project” is Pomanders! Be sure to make one when you come in today, the’ll be available while supplies last. They are super easy to make and smell great!
Up until recently we showcased a “Weekly WOW” creation when it became clear that there were way more WOWS than weeks.
When creativity is expressed, its inevitably awesome every time.
This lil Martian is case in point.
Learning something new…

Remaking jewelry to earn a patch had it’s perks for these Girl Scouts.
During their visit to tge studio we talked about jewelry, the kinds there are, why it’s worn, how it’s worn in different parts of the world and learned to work with a few simple jewelry tools. The girls had so much fun taking apart broken and cast off jewelry that we keep on hand to make new pieces tgeyvwanted to wear and give. learning something new is part of what scouting offers and I’d say these girls did it in style.
Creating At Home #12
Wednesday, December 7, 2016
Fall brings with it great smells. Try our Creating At Home Idea #12-Making Pomanders – an old fashioned treasure.
This may require a trip to the store but is well worth it.
Two simple ingredients will get you on your way to a bowl of aromatic goodness…
You will need:
-Oranges (just one or a whole bag!)
-Jar of Whole Cloves
Now for the fun part: Make your clove patterns on the oranges by pressing the pointed end of a whole clove into the skin of a whole orange with the peel still on. you can play around with designs and patterns.
If you make a large batch of Pomanders you can display them in a bowl and enjoy their Sweet smell.
Painting…
Monday, December 5, 2016
We had fun with Troop 61037 exploring painting for a Daisy Petal. Painting was one of Girl Scout Founder, Juliette Gordon Lowe’s personal interests and recycling is one of ours so the girls got a kick out of the painting process using recycled stuff.
Happy December!
