Did you know that they make nothing in the way of owl themed party plates, napkins and cups, but they do make many other owl things that can be used for a b-day party?
I bought a stamp from ebay, it has an owl with a party hat on! It's so cute!
I have made party bags with brown paper bags, cardstock and scraps. I have made owl magnets with a die cuts and googlie eyes. I found a HUGE sequine(sp?) owl to iron on a t-shirt.
That's what gave me the idea for the party. We are doing iron on's. I bought about 10 t-shirts at $3.99 each. And Iron-on stuff ranging in price from $1.50 to $5 for the owl. But the thing is about 12 inches! We will also be making the parlor beads. Those are the plastic beads that you iron to melt together.
A fun thing my mom used to do when we were kids- We would take old crayon bits, you know the kind-half one crayon and just the tip another- you gather a small handful and put them on a peice of alimunum foil. Set it into your oven at 150 or 200F, or you can use a toaster oven. Watch them melt. Once they are melted pull them out. They will smoke if you don't watch them. And they are pretty toxic-smelling when smoking! Let them kool. Now you have a new crayon that writes in a million different colors. Or as many colors as you put in. :D
Parlor beads always remind me of crayon making. Not sure y though.

April Birthday Party
Taylor is having her 13th birthday in just about a month. She doesn't know what type of party she wants. She has no idea what theme or kind of cake. NOTHING! She only knows who she want there at the party. Which gives me little to go one. I know her favorite color and cake flavor so even though she won't commit, I will get something I know she will like.
So what do you do for a kid who isn't into anything except owls. That is the only thing she ever spends her time or money on. She has owl earrings, necklaces, stuffies, clothing, paintings, figurines, jewelry box, etc. And did you know that they don't make owl themed birthday party items?
We are going to have owl paper bag goodie bags and I'm going to rubberstamp owl themed invites.
The best part. This is all supposed to be a surprise! It's alot harder to keep it a surprise than I thought. She is always walking in the room at the wrong times. *Sigh*
