Birthday Party Ideas

-
I love to throw birthday parties for my friends. It think that at least once a year you should let the people close to you know how much you appreciate them.

Here are some of my Girlfriend Birthday Party Ideas:

1. Around the Clock Birthday: This is a great spin on the surprise birthday party. Have friends and family members go to the birthday girl's house every hour on the hour.



2. Spin on the Gift Card: Instead of collecting money and buying a generic gift card, attach the money to something that represents the gift. Click on the link for more details.

3. I've already given my Friends are Like Flowers idea.



4. House of Money: I've done this recently as well. My friend wanted money to decorate her house, so I made this house and filled the windows, door, etc with cash.

5. Song Card w/ CD: Katri submitted this tip to Executive Homemaker, she made her friend a CD and then worked the song titles into the card.

You can get further instructions and pictures at ExecutiveHomemaker.com under Gift Ideas then Girlfriend Birthdays.



Here's a great tile my friend gave as a birthday gift idea. Enjoy and throw a kick-butt birthday bash for a good friend. Also, I'm in desperate need of some new ideas. So if you've got one please leave me a comment! Y'all rock!!

Happy Happy Bday- I know it was your birthday week but which day exactly?
My friends did the around the clock thing for me a couple of years ago and I felt like a queen. It was amazing. Every hour. Different friend. Different gift. I have lots of bday ideas (we're big on bdays around our house) but I'll email them to you....

My friend put together a game that was all about me. She and several other friends gathered the scoop on me during different periods of my life. It was hilarious, embarrassing and a total blast to play with all of my friends for the rockin' 30th birthday party that they threw for me!

You can check it out on my blog. I think the post date is August 26th.

I love the Around the Clock idea, that would be such a fun thing to do!

I read off a friend's blog that they pass around a birthday fairy between the friends and decorate it to suit the recipient. What a fun idea. One of my favorite birthday presents was when my neighbor showed up on my birthday with a sweet card and a birthday cake. I was ecstatic I didn't have to make my own cake.
I assume DFW stands for Dallas Ft. Worth? Where exactly do you live? I graduated from high school in Dallas.

Digital memory is something that I seem to be unable to ever have enough of. It's as if megabytes and gigabytes have become a permanent part of my every day existence. Ever since I bought a Micro SD Card for my NDS flash card, I've been on the constant lookout for high memory at low prices. I feel like I'm going insane.

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
