Meeting and Swapping

Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the others gold. At Mosaic you have a chance to meet many new friends from over 30 different countries. The opportunity is there during the 10 days of the time of our lives.

Even though we wont be spending a whole lot of time in our neighborhoods because of activities and daily program we will still get a chance to meet lots of new friends. This is what many of us are looking forward to along with the fun.

Swaps are a great way to get a chance to meet new friends. Many of us will do swapping and some of us wont have any part of it. I have so far done lollipop candies and friendship bracelets. I'm proud to say that the girls at this years March Break Camp took part in helping me in trying to finish these candies. Yes it is cheating but they did do an entire Ziploc bag full of them in the hour that they had to make them. They are a great to when you are stressed out and need a break.
I have no idea how many of these I am made or bring to Mosaic. The thing I am dreading doing is making the tags to put on with phone numbers, addresses etc and of course putting safety pins on them. It's very repetitive and not to mention annoying.

If you are in the need of ideas for your Swaps here are a some that I have thought of or have been suggested to do. Contact a local city counsellor in your area for pins to represent your country or town. Old badges and crests are another great idea. Simple crafts are always an option, this is what I'm doing. Just remember that they have to be quick, fast and easy. A great website is: http://www.gsswaps.net/

Of course Swaps are a great way to meet new friends, we will also meet friends at our activities and in our neighbourhoods. See you there with many new friends to meet. The countdown is: 78 days!!!
