The Princess Page is getting a face lift. I've added more Printables and Clipart, with more to come. (Yep my printer has been busy :)
No Sew Gnomes have gained so much popularity it was going to their heads. They had totally taken over the gnome page so we had to separate them. Besides our Gnome Page we now also have a Sock Gnome Page. Here you will find all the basics to get you started on your sock gnomes. There are also lots of hints and tips for those who are already addicted. We have also added a Standing Gnome Page. (This page is still under construction) Although you can add boots to a sock gnome, to add legs you need a base you can insert a dowel into. Here you will find gnomes made from pool noodles and styrofoam. These bases also give you more opportunity to add extra details.

Stealing Clipart

The Staples
Lots on this site change constantly.
These pages/ideas are a constant, the foundation.
The Staples
Often a cake is a big part of your party. It not only tastes good but is usually the centerpiece of your party. The Cake Ideas Page has helpful ideas and tips for making your cake, no matter what your ocassion or theme. Decorating ideas, tips on frosting and fondant. Although there are a lot of cakes pictured this page is more about helping you achieve a solid foundation for your party ... Yep it's a STAPLE
FUN WILL ALWAYS BE A STAPLE HERE
The Games Page
Ideas, Game Suggestions, Crafty Games, Printables and More. Most of these will work for any occasion or theme. Although on this page Games WILL be added on a regular basis, it has a solid foundation and is a STAPLE.
Gnomes have increased in popularity and have worked their way to being a staple. Step by Step Instructions and New Ideas are being added all the time.
Whereas The Cake Ideas Page and the Games Page are Staples, organizing Holidays, Special Occasions and the Various Themes, they are Paper Clipped. For Now this is the way I have them Organized ...
Holidays / Ocassions - Here you will find the Official US Holidays and those that are not official but usually recognized holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day etc. Along with Special Occasions like Birthdays and such.
Themes - Here you will find your Princesses, Dragons, Transformers etc.
Keep in Mind - The Individual Pages are not just parties.
They also have Crafts Ideas on them.
Me personally, I find crafting my own Personal Party.
