Badges
Sep 1, 07:42 PM“We don’t need no stinkin’ badges.”
But I want some. So, here are the “rules” for anyone who wants to participate.
1. Post a comment to this entry saying that you are going to participate this month.
2. Record your participation in some way. You may record it on video, take a picture, type it up or some combination of these and make it available for me and other participants to see. If enough people want to take pictures or video, I’ll start a flickr group for us to use. Otherwise, feel free to send it to me and I’ll put it up here or you can write about your participation in a comment.
3. Try to finish by the deadline. (I’m not going to be a stickler to this too much but if you take three months or something then it doesn’t really count, unless the deadline was three months away of course.)
4. Do what the badge requires. Extras are great but not in place of the stated requirements. They aren’t that structured anyways so you’ll have room to be yourself.

In order to earn the badge “On My Way” you’ll need to do the following:
1) Plan a weekend trip describing how you will get there, budget, etc. Make it realistic and reasonably priced.
2) Make a list of the items that you will pack.
3) Make an itinerary of the things you will do along the way and at your destination. Be sure to include sites to see, places to shop, activities and meals.
4) Design and make four travel postcards that reflect the location or activities that you have planned to do on the trip.
The deadline for this badge is September 30th. Since this is the first badge you will receive a shopping bag style tote badge as well as the badge. The bag is going to be forest green and dark brown (I already have the fabric.) The green will look like a sash across the sides of the bag and will be a place for you to attach the badges as you earn them. As soon as I have finished making the bag and receive the badges in the mail, I will post a picture of both.
Good luck! (Please participate.)
I’m in. But the idea of designing postcards scares me in a way I haven’t felt since my first bikini wax.

I’m totally in (if boys are allowed), and I’m not scared. Certainly not in the way that Judah is.

Bikini WAX!!! No. No way. Not going to happen. I’ve had half of one in my life time. Never again.
Yes, boys are allowed.

I’m in! My trip is to VernonTX and Tipton OK. Can this count?

HALF of one?! You’re killing me. I don’t think I’ve heard this story. Next time we have coffee, I’m all ears.

Done – check out my blog. I hope my trip counts, ‘cause I sure can’t afford to plan another one!

You are the first one finished. I will check it out tomorrow evening after work. I’m going to bed right now.
