We frosted and decorated sugar cookies & cupcakes. We dipped strawberries, cake pops & Ritz crackers with PB in chocolate. I also provided a table to make & decorate Valentine's Day cards. I didn't save the printables I used for that party, however, I have created some new ones in case you are interested in hosting your own Galentine's Day or Valentine's Day party! You can purchase the whole kit or just the items you are interested in.</div>

These are cookie and/or cupcake decorating placemats. Each mat is 11" tall by 17" wide. I get my prints done through UPS. Note, they add a thin white border around their prints. I recommend having them laminated if you are interested in keeping them to use over and over. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I created these in two versions. The colored plastic knifes sold at the Dollar Tree are the perfect size for the ones with the spot for the knife. If using a different brand with larger knifes you will probably want to go with the placemat that doesn't have a spot for the knife. I used the small plastic condiment cups sold at Costco. I have also seen the cups sold at grocery stores. You could also use baking cup liners. I filled mine with conversation hearts, M&M's, red hots & chocolate chips.</div>

I purchased the strawberry 30 pack ones for $13. (Price as of 1/9/20) They showed up in good condition and tasted good too! They also have other brands and flavors that would work just as well that are a little cheaper. For example, the same brand in bubble gum flavor is $9 and would work.</div>

These sloth tags are each 2.5" wide by 4.2" tall. There are 5 tags on an 11"x8.5" PDF sheet. I tied my tags around individual packages of Chips Ahoy cookies. You could even staple them to bags of M&M's, ring pops or any other treat.</div>

Last year I told everyone in my family to plan for an ugly sweater Christmas party. That way they all had time to look for sweaters and/or find clearance deals in case they didn't already have one. I also told them there was no need to spend money. They could simply dress up a sweater they already had or borrow one. However, EVERYONE got into the spirit of it and went all out. It was so fun to see everyone when they arrived! </div>

We played a couple of Christmas games. For the first one my husband played Christmas songs and the first person to guess the name of the song won a candy bar. After they won a candy bar they were no longer allowed to guess unless they were helping someone else. That way everyone won a candy bar instead of the few same people winning all of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the second game I wrote a bunch of different words that were related to Christmas (including movies and songs) on the back of some Santa hat cards. Everyone took turns giving clues without saying the words on their card. The first person who guessed right got to keep the Santa hat. The person with the most hats at the end of the game won a prize. We played in teams of two so I gave out two prizes.</div>

I passed out ballots and had everyone vote. I then quickly tallied up the votes and awarded the prizes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Prizes were awarded for:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ugliest sweater, the cutest sweater, the best overall, the most creative, the best hairstyle, the best accessories, and the best footwear. This encouraged them to be creative & gave multiple people a chance to win a prize. It also made for great photos! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the Best Overall, the Ugliest Sweater & the Cutest Sweaters I gave $10 Amazon gift cards and let them pick a prize from the prize table. The Most Creative, Best Hairstyle, Best Accessories, & Best Footwear each got $5 and a prize from the prize table. The remaining guest went in order from youngest to oldest until everyone had chosen a prize from the prize table. I thought everyone deserved one for dressing up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I also cut out an ugly sweater printable and taped it under a dinner plate. The person who found it won the first prize of the evening.<br />

We had a nice Christmas dinner ( I didn't get photos of that) and then I served a buffet of our families favorite Christmas treats for the refreshments. There were plenty leftover so everyone got to take a plate of treats home with them.</div>

I created this Thanksgiving sign in an 36"x24" print size so it would stand out and be a focal point. I love big prints and I love how affordable engineer sized prints are. I get mine printed through Alpha Graphics for $4! All you have to do is print and attach it to an 36"x24" thin board. I bought my board at Lowe's and used a thin layer of Mod Podge to attach the sign. You can use it over and over again every Thanksgiving season.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">I created this engineer print sized (36"x24") Happy Birthday sign printable for my Etsy Shop. It is neutral so it can go with ANY color scheme! The best part is you can use it OVER and OVER. I would have put it on my fireplace mantel, but my husband was set on putting a TV over it. So my range hood is my best option. Luckily my kitchen is open to my family room so it works. You can add a banner under it or tie balloons next to the sign to dress it up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I bought a 36"x 24" thin board from Lowe's and used a thin layer of mod podge to attach the sign. If you use this method go slowly, start from one side and slowly smooth it out a little at a time as you go. Engineer print paper is thin and can wrinkle easy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My favorite place to order engineer prints is Alpha Graphics. It only costs me $4 for a 36"x24" black and white print! </div>

<span face="trebuchet ms, trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">This is super cheap & easy to prepare! Just print off the poem along with two copies of the turkeys. Cut out around the squares and tape them to sticks. If you want to preserve the game to play year after year I would suggest laminating the turkey squares. That will also protect them from bad weather.</span></span><br />

I hosted a family film festival. It was SO MUCH FUN!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sent out invitations a couple months in advance. Each family made </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at least one short film or Doritos Commercial. </div>

The night of our party we rolled out a red carpet (from a local party store). I created a Hollywood Star template in Photoshop and customized one for each person in the family. They loved finding their stars and getting their pictures taken with them. My husband also played movie soundtrack music which really helped set the atmosphere. I highly recommend that!<br />

<br />This summer I hosted a weekly arts and crafts day for my kids and their friends.
<br />Each week I set out enough art supplies for the kids to make 2-3 projects. Some of the kids chose to make one project and others wanted to make them all. I also provided a treat for them each week. We had snow cones, ice cream sundaes, cookies, brownies, ect. It ended up being a lot of fun and something the kids looked forward to each week. At the end of of the summer I hosted an art show for the kids to show off their artwork.

<br />
I bought square blue plates, yellow cups, white napkins, and green spoons. I found a Lego logo online and printed it to make the napkins rings. I ended up making cupcakes but<span style="color: rgb(102 , 102 , 102);"> </span><a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/building-blocks-cakes/ca36541e-624c-48af-ab78-68ef256e8903" style="color: #666666;">HERE</a> is a cute idea for a Lego block cake.<br />

I used a 1 1/2" circle punch to cut circles out of matching colored card stock. If the card stock is a shade or two lighter then the bag then the circles will stand out better. I also used double sided foam squares to attach the circles to the bags.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">For the banner</span> I printed the letters at size 500 using a Lego font. Then I colored a border around the letters with a yellow marker. I cut them out and used a double sided adhesive to attach them to 6X6 inch squares of poster board. You can get the Lego font for free from <a href="http://www.typenow.net/themed.htm" style="color: #666666;">www.typenow.net</a>, it is #268 Lego Font. Typenow is a great place to get free theme fonts.<br />

It is a Lego game where the kids take turns trying to get the other players to guess what they are building out of Lego's. The game cards give them pictures of what to make.<br />

We ended up putting it on the carpet so that it wouldn't slide when the kids threw the Lego pieces. We gave each party guest 10 Lego pieces and had them stand behind a line to toss them. The guest with the most points won a prize.<br />
<br />
I also filled a jar with Lego's. Each guest wrote their name and guessed how many Lego's were in the jar. The guest with the closest guess won a prize.<br />

It was a fun party.Jadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13381240118165535280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025538499960316648.post-28967145562539762582010-12-19T11:38:00.000-08:002010-12-19T11:49:10.424-08:00Cute Candy Cane PoemI am looking forward to blogging again after the beginning of the year.
