Since I was a kid I've tried out plenty of different clubs and activities; sewing club (I know, I was never cool), flower pressing (seriously am I 90?!), the swim team, arts and crafts club, horse riding (I do miss this) and even a brief stint in dance classes. But none of them ever really stuck. No matter how much I enjoyed them I always ended up floundering and quitting. Actually, I was never even determined enough to quit properly, I just sort of stopped going...
Anyway, blogging is the first sort of hobby/activity/thing that I've stuck at, and I love it. However, apart from a digital collection of posts and a hell of a lot of photos, there's nothing you can really 'collect' from blogging. No mementos or achievements for goals etc, and part of me wants to feel like I'm in a little club again. I really wanna give this whole 'participation' thing a go.
...And obviously I wanna do this in the smallest way possible with the least amount of responsibility ever; I'm lazy like that. Then I discovered Beau's Etsy store. I had found her on Instagram a while back and then realised she had this amazing Etsy store full of adorable things she's crafted herself; including these Babe Scouts patches!
She has a range of patches that she has created to raise awareness for Anxiety and Depression, part of the 'Babe Scouts' club. The idea being that she'd like to remind anyone having a bad day to take it slow and enjoy the little things, such as 'Snuggle your cat', 'Drink water' and 'Watch a movie'. I thought this idea was absolutely amazing, and so thoughtful. What a wonderful way to show support for people suffering with the same day to day problems, and in the cutest way possible.
I immediately snapped up my first patch and became an official member! I'm so happy I've joined such an awesome little club. I plan to collect all of Beau's work, and I hope you guys do too. After all, it's a lovely idea and it's always awesome to support small business eh? My only problem now is where to place this little cutie?!
So, will you be joining the club?! :)

I'm so into this. It's also really nice to see support for small handmade things (and reassuring for me, as I'm planning to launch a collection in September! XD )
