Even my neighbor commented how quiet the 8 kids were being. I used chairs and bedspreads that had been picked up from the the curb or garage sales to set the table. The party chandelier was made using the tissue paper pom poms and lanterns from Micheal's.

I also used the leftover fabric to embellish the gift bags with a simple bird motif. The favor included a bird whistle and lip gloss or toy airplane. The bird whistle you fill with water and they really sound like birds chirping.

Last week the weather was very humid, and the paper mache layers took forever to dry. I am an impatient crafter, so this was not a favorite project for me. I had to enlist my husband at the end to put the hanger in it. So if you make a pinata plan accordingly.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZQxVz-wuKrALuI9Oi43rQWn0g27RHsrC41JXjSfymeEGHf2nBTow9vbiH9AJsOQYx6MunDSB-NUEsuWgPSxq0pbuvBv0DjQB488NTAuLpRdNVkOZkqTvD6fs51MrKG3niEMGQ9MvGXU/s1600/000_0009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506082945062418834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZQxVz-wuKrALuI9Oi43rQWn0g27RHsrC41JXjSfymeEGHf2nBTow9vbiH9AJsOQYx6MunDSB-NUEsuWgPSxq0pbuvBv0DjQB488NTAuLpRdNVkOZkqTvD6fs51MrKG3niEMGQ9MvGXU/s400/000_0009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB60AxRQ2etlDKJAFRTVvsMxoSq_VBCScldH-fR8ffiB46zKYE4msdYxyS27FJdAq7KAx-iuxykMbo9asPf5v_-QBB-iqIeAnu1N3ZzD3rL6UGwqg3W6Jn1lrQSX5ZVt8xstvdbiavKq4/s1600/gracies+169.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506082301607096514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB60AxRQ2etlDKJAFRTVvsMxoSq_VBCScldH-fR8ffiB46zKYE4msdYxyS27FJdAq7KAx-iuxykMbo9asPf5v_-QBB-iqIeAnu1N3ZzD3rL6UGwqg3W6Jn1lrQSX5ZVt8xstvdbiavKq4/s400/gracies+169.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Another party for the memory book.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)font-family:lucida grande;" >The Junk Mammas</span>Junk Mammashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03395323692475587338noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800710271372696295.post-57896214012407894432010-08-05T12:40:00.001-07:002010-08-07T07:29:32.065-07:00Pickles<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihccSnOf9j3glDx3_dhklKTjcSeO7t22TVJufABlLLAtBZgbHLkRLitrEoz48Zd-geouDvqn_yHYoXqsNunq4tVXiNtCK0zfgZkUtAjlkVYCzRU2vZ9tbBYk8J-qVOCPwBzuiZkCK_Ueo/s1600/Pickles3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502013304201437618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihccSnOf9j3glDx3_dhklKTjcSeO7t22TVJufABlLLAtBZgbHLkRLitrEoz48Zd-geouDvqn_yHYoXqsNunq4tVXiNtCK0zfgZkUtAjlkVYCzRU2vZ9tbBYk8J-qVOCPwBzuiZkCK_Ueo/s400/Pickles3.jpg" border="0" /></a> Refrigerator pickles are a quick, easy and a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">delicious</span> way to use extra cumbers. Mine uses 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup vinegar, a teaspoon of course salt and some dill sprigs. (cucumbers and onions of course)<br /><br />I put everything except the dill in a sauce pan, bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Next, I pour it over my cut up cucumbers and onions, add some dill and refrigerate overnight. By morning you have flavorful pickles and as they are eaten you can keep adding cucumbers to the mix.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#cc0000;">The Junk <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mammas</span></span></strong>Junk Mammashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03395323692475587338noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800710271372696295.post-29592189327556167352010-07-29T07:38:00.000-07:002010-07-29T11:23:16.834-07:00Picnic clean up tip<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMYVuezGUeT7jboLltuam-5Sho9HjrXt4zRjEHvvZMBgISFBOcRYQ3iVwBSFnImj40G5LRzyjZG5_aUKgQtf3j8D2a_FcOkTWiPI_tROH6YFLDQxj5z3jk11ay-vRZ2lsx5Y7ToeAhOo4/s1600/000_0029.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499394826939069634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMYVuezGUeT7jboLltuam-5Sho9HjrXt4zRjEHvvZMBgISFBOcRYQ3iVwBSFnImj40G5LRzyjZG5_aUKgQtf3j8D2a_FcOkTWiPI_tROH6YFLDQxj5z3jk11ay-vRZ2lsx5Y7ToeAhOo4/s400/000_0029.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Growing up we went on alot of picnics. Parks and kids equal dirt. And my mother always packed a soapy water jar for cleaning up us kids. Wipes just can't handle the job when the kids are really dirty. Now I do the same. I find it easiest to use a wide mouth jar, so I can get my hand in it easily. I add a few drops of dish soap, fill'er up with water, and drop in a dishcloth. Now your set.
