Huh, me who is afraid of public speaking and avoids it like the plague, getting up again next week? Crazy!
Well, I have another birthday party coming up. Only this time I have to come up with some games, instead of taking them to some entertainment facility, because my daughter (who will be turning 7,) seven! She was just in diapers yesterday! Has decided she wants a "home party", with her best friend sleeping over (naturally) and I'm fresh out of ideas. So if you have any games that you pull out and dust off around birthday party time, please let me know. I have my few tired & true games, but most of them aren't known in this country (they're all from New Zealand, when I was growing up) so I need to gear up & throw some curve balls into my arsenal of games. Any help is appreciated, because I'm all out of ideas, and as my
She's past that age where I can cover my bluffs and mistakes up with kisses & hugs, and that makes me sad. She's had a mini-adult moment, she doesn't want her friends to laugh at a so-so party, she wants to be "in", "popular" all that jazz. Man, I'm getting too old for this!
So let me know if you have any great game ideas to help me save the day.
Also, one more thing, if you have my button, and I don't have yours - let me know! I know I was meant to have a few more up, but can't remember whose button I'm supposed to have! Annnnd .. my new blog face-lift should be ready soon. I am SO EXCITED! :D

Hi there. At my daughter's last birthday she turned 8, so the same age range. We did a craft the girls LOVED! I bought some cheap t-shirts in men's medium and large to fit as night shirts (she had a slumber party). I then took a group photo of the girls at the begining of the party, and printed it out on iron on paper. They took turns CAREFULLY (with me right there) ironing their pic onto their shirts. They decorated and signed eachothers shirts with fabric pens. They really loved it, and it took a good hour or so of their time. I was amazed at how focused and calm they all were while creating their night shirts. You could also iron them onto all kinds of different things too. Hope this helps
Good luck with the b-day! My baby turned 18 in December. Where does the time go?
I have something for you on my blog!
Have a great week!
Congrats on making it through speaking in sacrament. That's a big deal!
Good luck with the birthday!
oh you have a little peanut like me...always so tiny, buta cutie.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope your daughter has a fun party! I always think that musical chairs is a fun bday party game. Maybe a treasure hunt or something too.
Woohoo on the talk! We've fortunately been able to stay low in our ward, so no talking assignments yet, but I know that by saying this I will be asked to talk pretty soon.
Crafts are great, how bout asking them to make up little skits, or something real active to get them to sleep later (because we all know sleep over parties never "sleep")
It's been a long time since I had to dig into my arsenal of tricks! I hope you come up with something though!
Good Luck!
We did stained glass Poodle paintings for my daughters birthday party. The girls really had a great time.
I'm not a fancy birthday throwing mom. I hope you come up with some fun ideas. My baby (as in the youngest) is turning 8 this year.
WOWZERS!!
I have a boy, so anything with a ball, dirt, or grass is good enough for them;}(lol)
I loved scavenger hunts, and how fun would that be? Or how about a "lil" spa thingy? Oh try giving them a ball, dirt, or grass;} teehee
BTW- she is adorable;} my neice is a peanut too, they are fun to buy clothes for in between the baby, toddler, regular girl section;}
Thanks for stopping by, I L-O-V-E her quilts(they are a great price)& hope to be able to make them as good as hers one day & it's not very often that a etsy seller will give you advice on their craft;}
