Planning a Party
I wanted something special for this birthday. My sister found many wonderful sites with party settings.
We decided to use paper plates to make the clean up easy. There will be 22 people.

Planning a Birthday Party for your Mother
We looked at a variety of Websites on floral arrangements and party table settings. We looked at paper plates online and at stores and decided to go with the pink peony dinner plate. The plates will sit on a green round place mat with pink salad, dessert and napkins from the dollar tree. The napkins will go in clear plastic wine glasses.
My sister made the lovely floral arrangement from flowers from the dollar tree. I really like the the idea of a lace looking table cloth. There will be three of the floral arrangements, two silver candelabras and several tea candles in small clear glass containers. We were looking for chargers that I had seen on the internet, but no one seemed to have them. My sister came across some green place mats at a discount store.
The name cards have the same motif as the plates.
It will sit in the center of the dinner plate.
Using the same paper plate motif you can cut out the wine cup name tags with a punch. I also glued on the name. I am out of rose colored ribbon, so I just put white to see how it would look.
There will be rose streamers all across her living room ceiling and a happy birthday banner. We will also need push pins to tack it up. Balloons too.

WE will have the pompom tissue flower lanterns hanging above the dinning room table.

We were talking about different pictures that people see in toast while we were cooking pancakes. Can you see the teddy bear we found in our pancake? Look at the white areas. His head is the most distinct. His head and ears are at the top of the pancake.

Unlock your car with a cell phone.
You have locked your keys in your car and you are out of state, what do you do? This will only work if you have a newer vehicle that can be unlocked with a remote button. It will not work on my old classic car that is shown in the photo. Call home or to whoever has your spare remote button. Hold your cell phone up to the car lock. Have them hold their cell phone up to the car lock and push the unlock button. We first tried with the regular phone and it did not work, so we then tried with a cell phone and it worked.
Let me know if you try this.

Where to get books
Books are so expensive. Many used book stores give you credit for your old books, which does help. This used book site sounds interesting. You trade your used books for books you want to read. http://www.paperbackswap.com/. I have not tried this yet, but plan to. I heard it was great from someone who does buy paper back books.
