Princess Diana - June 17, 2019 - Kids

I remember growing up reading Highlights–a magazine specifically for kids. It was really cool getting it in the mail once a month!

I brainstormed with Queen Darlene and we came up with the idea of giving her a vintage Girl Scout Hostess Badge. After all, she will have met the requirements after graciously opening her home to all of us!
