birthday party ideas

I’ll be making some more alphabet block card holders (any thoughts on items to use in place of the blocks?) and here’s a peek at Jess’s homemade business card stands. We plan to use colorful mixing bowls, canisters, and other kitchen-y things for sample collections. I will be leading guests in making paper airplanes that actually fly (Hopefully. Do you have any tried and true airplane patterns I could add to our selection?) and a “green clean” sample kit which will include an all-purpose disinfectant spray, a soft scrub, and a powdered laundry detergent. Let me tell you, it can be a chore locating washing soda. Until you find it at the market right next to the Craft Social venue. Argh. Last week I tried out this recipe for Pasta Primavera and really liked it. Great for those of you who need to use up that fresh summer squash and birthday party ideas. But good for those of us who don’t, too. And you don’t have to turn on the oven. Yes, I have set up a Twitter account. No, I don’t really know how to use it and am not sure if I want to.

Some people like viewing the game; others are more engaged in eating up and drinking in the parking lot. Here are some formulas, hints and themes you can utilize to have this season’s tailgating both amusing and delicious and amusing for all of the occasion invitees. For your game day food, make sure to take on all of the basics: beefburgers, hot dogs, crisps with dip and easy snacks. Pack all the meat and condiments in a tremendous cooler so nothing foils, and don?t forget to take a grille to prepare your meal on. Move your allies with our tailgating recipes for an four layer dip, which merely involves layering mashed black beans, a delectable chipotle salsa, cool guacamole and a layer of cream cheese.
