Not as scavenged out as I'd hoped!!

 This scavenger hunt is proving to be quite tricky!! I've had my post returned twice now as the photos aren't exact enough to meet super scavenger requirements. I'm in two minds as to whether to continue chasing it or not. I have really enjoyed everything  I have done to get this far and I don't want to spoil it by pushing it too far. It has been so much fun but with me not driving, I've either had to walk, use public transport or ask my long-suffering husband to drive me. A lot of the things I don't have access to, and don't have children so am not likely to be in a place where I would see them. There is now a limit on how many photos you can take in shops and I don't own some of the other things so it would cost me to buy them and I don't feel like that's a good use of my money. So I'm really undecided about continuing to fight for the super scavenger or just be happy with what I achieved. If it wasn't throwing it down with rain and if I didn't have a really busy day ahead, I'd maybe be tempted to pop out and see if I could find better examples for two of the ones that haven't been awarded this morning and have one last attempt. We will see...

Next week promises to be a very busy week and I have lots of fun things planned, some of which should absolutely tick off some badge clauses. Can't wait. 

I also need to finish off my August bonus point activities. I've not done anything with  a courgette yet and my charity shop outfit is incomplete. Bet there aren't many blogs other than a rebel one where you would see a comment like that!!

I had a lovely trip to Leighton Moss RSPB nature reserve on Wednesday. It was a gorgeous day and I thoroughly enjoyed a good wander round. I took my husband's big camera after a few lessons from him and managed to get some really good photos. This will count towards my Nature Lover badge, Go Wild and Photographer so I'm very chuffed with that. I also managed to lock myself out of my parents house for two hours whilst waiting for them to go on the trip so went for a walk round their village and did a geocache, but sadly the container wasn't there. At least, I don't think it was. I'm sure I had the right location but there was nothing there to see. I've logged it but it had never been done by anyone having been placed in 2015 so there is a good chance it's been tidied up by the council by now.

I did another geocache last night, bringing my total of done ones up to 4, 2 completed. One I tried is in a place where it often gets moved by the council, according to the log anyway. And then this other one near my parents' house. I'm really enjoying it and hoping to do more next week.

Where I'm at...

 I am being completely useless at keeping up with this blog, although I think it's because I haven't done a huge amount of badge work over the last week or so therefore haven't had much to update. I'm still reading plenty towards my Reading badge. Need to include some non-fiction books as I'm an avid fiction reader and this is pretty much what I default to. I only really read non-fiction when I need to learn about something and tend to go for the internet, rather than a book. I'm on the lookout for a challenge to start when I finish reader and can move on to advanced reader... I've made a really good start on a scrapbook, which will earn me the scrapbooker badge. It's all organised and laid out. I just need to actually make the pages now - the bit that takes the longest!! I've been doing quite a bit out in the garden while the weather has been nice, which is helping with quite a few different badges. I'm concentrating on making it a nice environm...

Badgemin

 I've done loads of admin towards my badges today and I'm feeling very organised!! I've got a large notebook and labelled a double-page spread with each badge as I start working on it. Any photos I've taken linked to projects will be stuck in there, along with any writing or notes needed. I have also listed which badges I am going to work on to try to gain each of the patches. I'm two days into my gratitude journal for the diarist badge, and I'm also working on calligraphy for the craft part one badge so I'm writing a quote each day in calligraphy to practise my lettering. It's not great at the moment but hopefully I'll see it improve as time goes on. I've been working in a hand lettering practice book and watching some youtube videos to help me. I've been through my craft supplies and have a kit ready to start a scrapbook of a holiday we went on to France last summer so that will work for my scrapbookers badge. Really excited about getting s...

Toooo many badges

 Just discovered that the app doesn't publish on my blog, just saves it as a draft. Not overly helpful... I'll just have to make sure I log in on the laptop regularly. I'm making some good progress on a few badges and I've started a couple more that I wasn't planning on starting at the moment, so that's great. I'm trying to gain as many points for Bader as I can, so am making the most of being off work and doing whatever I can at the moment. I've ordered a few more things to help me with different badges so I'm pleased with how everything is going. Progress since my last post: - bought two lavender plants to pop in the garden for the Rebel with a Cause badge - ordered a straw hat to make a buttoned hat for the May bonus - ordered a diamond art kit for the craft badge - found my hand lettering practice book and calligraphy pens for the craft badge - started the buddy badge with two other rebels, working towards photographer and my style - read a coupl...
