Anyone can just throw money down to go to a pizza place for kids. Penny is teaching them creativity, frugality & appreciation. Those are gifts that last a lifetime.

Kids love this kind of party!<br /><br />The more creative often the more memorable.<br /><br />Lots more money doesn't mean lots more fun. <br /><br />I find that comment pretty pathetic.<br /><br />If my energy always allowed for it, this is the kind of thing I would do Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713268121119734341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-23378120381428711792014-10-01T16:11:21.679+00:002014-10-01T16:11:21.679+00:00You read my mind- I was planning on posting today ...You read my mind- I was planning on posting today (but in the end will probably post tomorrow) about ceramic paining place type things.<br /><br />What has been your favorite theme?

Sometimes I find I'll buy decorated plates, but use cheapy napkins, cups and forks, etc. I did pin the bow on the birthday girl w/ the real birthday girl and cut out paper bows. I think that was the most successful "pin the anything on anything" I ever did....it elicited a lot of laughs.
