I think I would have done you proud - Pink Poodle in Paris, the party-goers got eiffel tower sippy cups, the cake was a HUGE pink eiffel tower (my husband didn't know how big a full sheet was!) and the guest of honor got to wear a pink poodle ear headband.

I have to admit, I've been called a word/spelling snob by my sisters and my husband. On rainy days in elementary school we played kickball in the gym. If you could hit the back wall, it was an automatic home-run! I was the home-run queen! We played kickball at our family reunion last summer and the adults were all so competitive that the kids quickly left the game. Maybe someone could organize an adult kickball league!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152911772419641809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-2317400202159301002010-02-05T02:21:18.982-05:002010-02-05T02:21:18.982-05:00i miss gold stars. i love your list. i love your...i miss gold stars. i love your list. i love your art.kiss my spatulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13966919665221492122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-72146697913138187652010-02-05T02:17:00.450-05:002010-02-05T02:17:00.450-05:00ooh! i think i get the silver star in all except #...ooh! i think i get the silver star in all except #5...i'm terrible at parties, going or throwing! i think an adult spelling bee would be fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-23526153050212448152010-02-04T20:52:12.769-05:002010-02-04T20:52:12.769-05:00OK, you DO throw the most awesome parties. I just...OK, you DO throw the most awesome parties. I just looked at the flikr set and I really wanted to cry because it was so great. <br />I have been my own party planner since I was a small girl. Throwing parties makes my mom very nervous. It is not her strength. So I planned my own and she did what I asked. It worked out nicely for us. <br />BUT, I kinda wish someone would throw me a party. In fact, this has inspired the theme for my next list: things I want but have never told anyone.<br />#1 on the the list? To have an really cool birthday party thrown for me. My birthday is in August. Do you think you'll be free?<br />You are truly inspiring.
