I've been trying to come up with some but it seems like nowadays people don't even play games at showers and such anymore. I think some people would prefer to just socialize. Are you looking for a real game, like Bunko, that everyone is playing the whole time or are you just looking for something little for people to do to liven up the party? You could always do a little trivia game..if you have prizes...maybe even with some historical questions about your church and religion. Or, you could also try "the guess the jelly bean flavor" game...if you don't have too many diabetics present. Get a bunch of jellybellies, give everyone the same flavor and have them write in down what they think the flavor is on a paper...the person who guesses the most right is the winner! Obvioulsy, you will have to buy the jelly beans broken up by flavor...but it's sort of funny because some of the flavors are odd like chocolate pudding, jalepano, magarita, toasted marshmellow, etc...and I won't even go into the kid's flavors if you happen upon those. You could also try the "what is in your purse game". The first person that can bring you the new dollar coin wins a prize...ditto for a stamp, red mint, etc...think the end part of "Let's make a Deal". Hope you enjoy your get together.

Here's the status. Party is in 3 days and I am nervous. It's morphed into a surprise party. Karaoke or games or what? Up in the air. Costco-will roast tenderloin, perhaps on the grill, slice and refrigerate. Flowers from Costco. Caesar salads from Costco. Bought 4 meat and 1 veggie lasagnas from Gordon Food Service. I would like to doctor them up with meat sauce and gobs of extra cheese (which I bought). Dessert. Ordered a pretty and delicious cake from Dairy Queen. Hopefully it will be enjoyed by all. I made one tray of lemon squares and will make another tray in the morning. A sweet cousin my make some cookie bars. I'll get a traveler coffee from Starbucks-easy. Pick up wine, juice, water, sodas. Still need to hang and rehang lots of pictures, long story, and polish flatware and ice bucket. Thirty dinner plates are washed. Cleaned the front door area and leaves are gone. Need possible paper goods. Very tired! Thanks for all your help. Likely I will make either flourless choc cake or nut torte. Have 3 kinds of cheeses, crackers and pretzels and mixed nuts for nibbles while we all wait. Prolly will add more stuff. I'd rather fuss with flowers, decor, baskets and fabric liners, etc. I think dil will like it.

Wilchild, you're good! I was going to change my answer since it was meant to be hard, but you got it :o) Site map

Real nice ornaments .My favorite is the real fat snowman on the top left,and of course your stars,one of these days i'm going to try my hand at those stars. I'll have to take a picture of my walnut ornie/desk sitter.I bought it years ago at a craft fair,it has googly eyes,a pom pom nose and a sea shell glued on to the bottom to form the neck and make it stand,and the hat is made with a styroform cup that they melted down in the oven and formed it into a hat,and is adorned with a red rose bud.Cute and like i said i've had it for years,it sits here by my computor. OK i just took the pictures so i don't forget,i'll upload them a little later so you can see. Kathi
