Cool Money Making Ideas For The Summer

Okay, it's summer. Everyone's getting hot and bothered, but instead of sweating buckets and letting the heat get to you, why not make the summer sun work to your advantage? Here's a couple of cool money making ideas you could try.

Sell and rent swimming pools

If the family can't go to the pool, why not bring the pool to the family? Go house to house with a catalogue of colorful kiddie pools and family sized portable pools. How to get your stock? If it's the smaller kiddie sized ones, you can get them from plastics wholesalers in bulk at a lower cost or you could act as an agent for companies that sell portable swimming pools. You profit by charging your own markup.

Beach Gear

Set up a stall at the beach selling inflatable toys, sun tan lotion, swim suits and other beach gear. Don't confine yourself to just beach gear - use the breeze to your advantage - sell bubble blowers, kites and balloons.

Teach Water Sports

Since everyone's heading to the beach, if you're an expert surfer or windsurfer or jet-skier, teach those who can't. You'll need your basic training equipment - that means extra surfboards etc. for your students. Charge by the hour for express lessons or by the days for longer, detailed coaching.

Drinks and Fruit Smoothies

Everyone needs to drink lots of water when it's hot right? Set up a stall selling good old fashioned lemonade or healthy fruit smoothies. You'll need a heavy duty blender and a supply of plastic cups for this.

Flavored Ice

If you know where you can rent a couple of meat freezers, you could make flavored ice tubes. Fill small hot-dog shaped plastic bags or ice cube trays with flavored drinks and stick them in the freezer. They're cheap to make and you can mark up the price for a nice profit. Sell them by the bags or tubes. Kids will love popping in a cube or two now and then to cool off.

Snowballs and Snow Cones

Shaved ice is a wonderful thing. You can scoop them into wafer cones or just pack them into snowballs and pour colored flavoring on them and voila! you have snow cones and snowballs. No limit to the number of flavors you can offer. You'll need an electric ice shaver if you expect a large crowd or the good old fashioned hand operated ice shaver which is cheaper. Both require careful handling lest you end up with red ice - if you know what I mean!

Cooling Station

Do you stay far away from the beach or local swimming pool? Do you have a front yard or open space with lots of shady trees? Open up a cooling station serving drinks, ice cream and snacks. Get a couple of wading pools for the kids to splash around in or maybe a couple of sprinklers. Make extra money by renting water shooters. Make it a family fun place.

Summer Clothes

Sell summer clothes - vests, shorts, bandanas and slippers. Set up a stall to customize them with iron-on summer motifs or hand painted messages. Get your stock from clothing wholesalers or factories to keep your cost low.

Personal Cooling Accessories

Skin tends to get dry and hot in the summer. Ladies are more bothered about this, so sell face freshener sprays and mini battery operated fans. These are handy items that they can carry in their handbags and use to cool down. Contact your local novelty or electrical wholesaler to get cheap mini battery operated fans.

Pet Baths

Humans aren't the only ones who get hot and bothered in the summer. When dogs get hot and sweaty, they're ideal breeding grounds for fleas. They also start to smell. Help busy pet owners keep their pets cool and clean by offering pet baths.

Water Adventures

Organize one-day water adventures - kayaking, trips to a waterfall, scuba diving, snorkeling. Make sure you're qualified to do this and take all the necessary safety precautions. You want this to be a money maker, not lose money with possible lawsuits!

Things you'll need to consider.

You'll need to keep your costs as low as possible. This means finding suppliers who can offer the lowest price. It would be ideal if you could work out an arrangement where you act as an agent for that supplier or only have to pay for stock that is sold. That way, you won't be left holding unsold stock when summer's over.

You may need to invest a small amount of money to obtain equipment or supplies. Work out your cost and price your products accordingly. You will need to check with local authorities about licensing or zoning laws governing your temporary business. Many local authorities issue temporary trading licences which are renewable every month. Check out your local laws especially with regards to food businesses. Keep things legal and you won't have to worry when you're busy making money! Cheers!

"Clean Your Bathtub Toys" - Does Your Kid's Rubber Ducky Bath Tub Toy Have Mildew in It?

Bathtub toys are half the fun of taking a bath for kids. Every child needs a squeaky rubber ducky toy for their bubble bath. Squeaking and squirting water are good for hours of play, but water on rubbers and plastic breads molds and mildew that you can't see. After months of playing fun, you suddenly notice black flakes in the water. If you haven't figured it out yet, those are pieces of mildew coming from the inside of your child's favorite squeaky bath tub toy. How do you keep your child safe?

Some people just figure it is time to throw the toy away. While others think it hasn't hurt anything yet, so they ignore the black flakes and let their child go on playing with it. There is a solution. A way to keep the tub toys clean and prevent mildew growth inside.


Toys must be allowed to dry completely. Most bacteria will die when it drys out. Placing your tub toys in a bath toy net or other holders that will allow drainage and then the toys will be able to dry.
Cleaning the toys with a solution of bleach and water will help mildew from forming on the outside of the toys.
Toys that are plastic or rubber that can allow water to get in such as a squeaky rubber ducky, need to be cleaned inside also. This can be accomplished by sucking a bleach and water solution inside and then shaking it around. Then squirt the bleach solution out. The toys should be rinsed with regular water afterwards, to make sure the bleach is removed. This could potentially hurt your kids if they were drink it or if it was squirted into their eyes.
If the toys already have black mildew flakes in them, the bleach and water will still work, but it will need to be repeated several times until all the black ceases to squirt out.

This should be done every two to four weeks. A great way to save time is to put water in the bathtub and place a couple of capfuls of bleach in it. Then dump the toys in the water. Be sure to clean the bath toy holder in the bleach solution also.

Bath time should be a fun with lots of bath tub toys. Most parents would cringe at the thought of sitting their toddler in a bath of mildew. It is inevitable that your child will get a mouthful of bath water. So keep these things in mind when cleaning your bathtub and don't forget to clean the bath toys.

Using Hamster Toys to Keep Your Pet Healthy

Hamster toys serve more than one purpose for your pet. The most obvious one is entertainment but don't discount the exercise factor. It doesn't matter if you're hamster is of the Syrian or dwarf variety. All types of hamsters need to be active. With a lot of rodent cages being fairly small these days, it's very important that we find ways to keep our hamsters healthy.

One thing I love about hamster toys is the fact that they allow your little buddy to exercise in a small space. They'll keep your hamster healthy and active while allowing him to have some fun too. You have quite a few choices and they all provide slightly different benefits for your pet. Let's consider some of the more popular hamster toys.

The most popular of all the hamster toys available has got to be the hamster wheel. Hamster wheels truly are synonymous with hamsters now. Cage's are hardly seen without wheels anymore! This makes perfect sense if you think about it. The wheel, while not flashy, provides your hamster with a lot of the exercise he needs. It really is the perfect toy for a pet that doesn't get the chance to leave his cage very often. As far as safety is concerned, the hamster wheel gets top marks. One thing you may want to consider before deciding on a hamster wheel for your pet is it's size. If the wheel isn't the right size, your pet may not be interested in using it.

A different hamster toy very similar to the wheel is the run-about. The run-about is a whole lot of fun for your little buddy. To our eyes, it's nothing more than a transparent plastic ball. To a rodent, however, this ball means two things - Freedom and fun! Put your hamster inside the ball then let him out of his cage. Now Watch in amazement as your pet goes bananas! He's got a whole new world to explore now. There's really no need to worry either as the ball provides solid protection. This ball provides more than just a good time for your little buddy though. He'll be getting a lot of good exercise as he makes his way from room to room in his funky bubble. Now, the run-about is a safe toy for your hamster but he should still be watched closely while playing with it. The last thing you want to do is lose your little buddy!

Running is a great workout for hamsters but it shouldn't be the only type of exercise he gets. You should consider getting himself something to climb as well. Climbing is very good for hamsters and gerbils alike. We don't want him climbing all over our furniture though. It's a good thing for us that there are some pretty neat climbing toys available for purchase. A lot of these toys look like something cool. Houses and trees seem to be among the more popular shapes. This is great as they allow us to play designer for a bit. Your imagination is really only limited by the amount of space you have to work with. Enjoy these toys but beware of products that are made out of toxic materials. Hamsters like to chew just about everything and we don't need your pet falling ill.

The point of all this is to challenge your hamster with a number of different exercises. A combination of running and climbing toys should really encourage your pet to workout in a variety of different ways. Give your hamster the variety he craves and let him lead a happy and fulfilling life.

Mixed Media Art Techniques - Preparing an Altered Book

Altered books are one of the great aspects of Mixed Media Arts - taking old and unwanted books and turning them into works of art is very satisfying.

Choosing a Book

Firstly, as artists, we would NEVER alter a book of value or one that can still be used for its original purpose. We alter books that are discarded and destined for recycling. We can up cycle these books, adding value to them by using them in our work.

The next thing to consider when choosing a book to alter is its structure. We need books in good condition and not under attach by mould. We want to be able to decorate this book and not have it fall apart. The book needs to have stitched in, or sewn, sections. Many modern books have glued in pages. This glue tends to come unstuck once the altering process has begun. So we need books with sewn sections.

To tell if your book has sewn sections, open the book gently with one hand on each cover and tilt the book up to you can see the top of the book where the pages touch the spine. If you cans little sections within the book, like loops of pages, smaller books within the bigger book, this is most likely a sewn section book. Sometimes it is hard to tell. As further check is to carefully open the book to the middle of one of the sections (the middle of the loop). Gently open the book until you can get right into the middle of the pages. If you can see thread or cotton, then this book has been sewn together and is exactly what we are looking for.

If your book is newer and has glued pages, this book can still be used in your mixed media art work but we won't use it as the basis for an altered book. These other books can have their pages removed and used to antique or add to collages or create backgrounds. Their covers can also be used as a substrate for another mixed media project.

Consider your altered book theme

Once you have chosen the book you will use, we need to consider what outcome we are aiming for with this mixed media project. An altered book can be used as a technique book or art journal, that starts with a few altered pages and grows until the book is full. It doesn't have an overall theme or style but keeps your pages together and develops as you do. These are the easiest books to start as you can jump right into preparing your book.

Creating a single piece of art, based around a theme requires more consideration. You need to think about the number of pages you will need overall and how the pages will flow. Do you want windows that take the viewer from one page into the next? Do you want to add niches and flaps? These require some planning before you begin.

If that seems too overwhelming, then put aside your thoughts of creating a single piece of art and get stated with your technique book or art journal. Often beginning a new project is the hardest part and we don't want to make getting started any harder than it needs to be.

Preparing your altered book

Start by warming up your cover by opening and closing it slowly and at a few different places in the book. This gets the cover and binding moving, especially if you are using a new book that hasn't been opened.

When decorating our altered book we will be adding paints and pages and embellishments. This will add extra thickness to the book and the spine and bindings will only take so much. So to alleviate this problem we will remove a few pages from the book to give us room.

Firstly, look through the book and see if there are any pages that catch you eye; a fantastic heading or font, a lovely picture that could be incorporated into the design. These are the pages you will want to keep. Mark them with a post-it note, so they are easy to find during the next step.

With a pencil in hand and a craft knife, select four pages (two spreads) to begin the removal / gluing process. The middle two pages need to be cut out, parallel to the spine, leaving about half an inch (1.5cm). On the outer two pages, will then be glued together. Mark these pages with your pencil, to remind you these are the pages to glue.

Continue going through the book, between the pages you want to keep and remove the pages and mark the pages to glue. As a guide, about a quarter of the pages will be removed.

Keep the removed pages as they can be used later to create background papers or to cut up words to use for embellishments

Gluing pages

This step depends on the type of paper in the book you are using. If you find the pages are sturdy enough on their own, gluing the pages together may be skipped. Gluing pages give us a thicker substrate for our altering. This process can be frustrating if you want it to be "prefect", so remember that this isn't a precise art and any imperfections will add character to our final mixed media art piece.

PVA glue or gel medium are good types of glue for this project. Start by brushing the glue along the middle of the two removed pages and ease these together. Then coat the outside of the stumps and one whole page that is to be stuck together. Carefully ease the second page up, starting from the spine out. Work from the middle out, removing bubbles as you go.

Close the book up and leave to dry, for at least overnight or a few days if you have glued a lot of pages together.

Ready to start

Once dry, your book is ready to start decorating. You can use any or all of the wonderful mixed media art techniques that are out there. Here are a few ideas to get you going:

- Cover the pages with gesso
- add paint and use the gesso resistant technique to add greate patterns and depth to the background
- try the credit card painting technique
- collage other pieces of text
- add vintage images
- have fun!

As I said before, this isn't a precise art and everything we do will add character to our final mixed media art piece and help us to develop our skills. There is no point wishing you were a "better artist" however you define it - all of those people we admire have spent lots of time, over many years practicing and creating.

I hope this has inspired you to give altered books a go - it is such a great way to incorporate many of your favourite mixed media art techniques into one project!

Happy creating!

Cheap Toys - Fun Toys Don't Have to Be Expensive

Have you ever bought your child the latest toy but they enjoyed playing with the box more than the toy itself? Toys these days are incredibly expensive and a multi-billion dollar business, with manufacturers spending a fortune on research of how to tap into a child's mind and make them want to buy their toy.

The truth is that most parents could save a packet by buying cheaper toys or making them out of household objects, which kids will find just as fun, perhaps even more entertaining! Here are some top tips for the best cheap toys to keep your little ones occupied for hours:


A garden sprinkler: one of the cheapest and best loved toys available for the summer months. You can pick one up for as little as $10... what can be more fun than jumping through the cool water of a spraying sprinkler?
Water guns: also a hit during the summer, water guns cost from a dollar to fifty and will keep the kids and their friends of all ages having fun for hours.
Bubbles: a great toy for younger children, you can even make your own with a squeeze of washing up liquid and some water shaken up in a plastic drink's bottle. Or on a rainy day put the mixture in a bowl and let them make their own bubble machine by blowing through a straw. Simple yet great fun!
Play-Doh: one of the cheapest toys for kids and a great way to improve their creativity and get them used to making things with their hands. A Play-Doh fun bucket costs under $10 and includes 5 cans of doh, animal moulds, cutters and shaping tools. A classic and timeless fun toy.
LEGO buckets: all kids love LEGO and it's perfect for children's changing needs. One day they may want to build a house, the next they may choose to make an aeroplane - LEGO allows their imagination to run wild!
Jumbo crayons: pretty much every child loves drawing and jumbo crayons are a cheap toy that doesn't make a mess. You can take them with you wherever you're going with a pad of paper and also allow you to educate them during play.
Dressing up box: little girls and boys love dressing-up. Fill a box with old shawls, sarongs, funny hats and wigs and let them create their own characters and put on shows and plays.

One last tip: if your kids insist on the latest toy or gadget and you're prepared to fork out the cash, look for a supplier who stocks wholesale which enables them to offer toys at a discounted price. Or look for Mum's clubs online where there are excellent quality second hand toys being sold off at great prices.

Friends of Fishing and newly installed Navigator

When I woke up this morning and met the dawn of another beautiful day. Me thinking about all the things I had to do here at home so I could get a better deal for a friend instead. It was his establishment had bought an old boat and fisherman new Fish Finder. I eagerly volunteered to help out because it is installed, this meant that we would reach the lake and then put to the test, with the ultimate reason can fish. Had boughtGarmin Fishfinder 400C Dual Beam from a great website for a very reasonable price. I must say that was very similar to make him happy to see this thing in action.

Not long till I called to see the phone, where I was, or better yet, because I was not already there. Had a new toy on the table and was looking for the manual check-out, a jump all the bells and whistles on it. Began to describe some of the features I like the Dual-BeamThe converter 45 14 degrees for maximum performance and freshwater. we want to give the High Representative Ultrascroll rate updates sonar screen lightning and split-zoom indicator that provides a closer look at fish and bottom structures, will be with an underwater camera. I had to stop him from going further. I told him I had to do a few things more and I was right about how I put down the phone, chuckling at his enthusiasm.

Was early afternoon by the time Icame to his house and the wind had picked up a bit '. It is not unusual for the North Colorado. Was finishing the installation of a new socket mounted on the upper deck of the boat. I was helping him finish, then we will start on the lines for the transducer and speed sensor. As a larger boat, where the holes already in the mirror, where other transducers mounted before. Some of the holes with the new sound head so aligned and secured with a little 'silicone, no losshave spent the remaining holes and finished the installation. Cable has taken some time to run them off the road and attached to the inner walls of the compartment and the rest of the way the dashboard. Once that happen, we had connected the power and data lines began on pan-tilt holder for the device on the dashboard. All in all, it took about an hour to complete the installation, and then we were on the road to the lake.

Once the water is turned on and the device that I swear that therenecessary for someone else to drive the boat. We were both defeated by the device all the functions and features, and with it the Ultra Bright 4-inch diagonal interface and is simple, it is a breeze, even from my position in the passenger seat or at least some places. With him fish alarm, shallow water, deep water and low battery voltage, it is quickly gave us a warning that we are not paying attention and went drifting in shallow water. Since we were there,We thought it was best to do a little 'fishing before the night would fall and we had to leave. While fishing at night would be easy with our new Navigator, as a new feature, night mode, in an optimal view of low-light and backlit keyboard provides all the necessary adjustments to make. But today we would not need because we were both working the next day. We caught a couple of hours and really loved split-zoom feature that we like a good view ofStructures, that is not our favorite fish to be able to hide from us. We returned all fish in water, because we are almost guilty that we now have the upper hand with the navigator final show us how to feel. We were on the way back to unload the trucks and gear off the boat, as I told my friend that it was an investment well spent on his boat. As we shook hands and we parted our ways, I could not help thinking it was another great day to be fishing with friends.

7 Tips to some beautiful baby pictures

In the creative world of photography, often rely on, can control what we do. We can choose our light, our position and the subjects of photography, our goals, and camera settings. Also, we can also control the mood and attitude of the person before us. When it comes to children, but all that control comes out of the window! The smallest, little person controls how the shot will go, and it is our job as a photographer to successfully capture memorable babyImages. Here are seven tips for safely photographing children and their changing moods and poses.

1) closely

One child has but something space bubble "that adults often. free to complete the course in the world of the child, basically Feel. We do not want to scare or upset because of this, your child may change drastically, success will be filming! However, our perspective is very different from thatChild. Since a large camera lens can show its face to be scary, try shooting from a distance and zoom This creates a smaller depth of field and can do more to focus on the child on the picture to be. If you are close to be able to get enough to keep the baby, try a wide angle lens with the kind of "see" the world from the eyes of the child.

2) Our Nuances

At this age, everything a child does, is specific and with a purpose. Note that every move he or shemakes. The smallest details sometimes make for the best pictures. Use your ninja-like reflexes and hone into these details. For example, the baby toes or the length of the cilia of the child as he or she is looking away, when the mother grabs the child's or Dad's finger, or if he or she is in the middle of a yawn . Be subtle, while you're shooting. A baby is very small and the details are still small.

3) Keep Comfy

Even under normal circumstances, the fire in one,we can control the variables that surround us. With a child, does not happen. To promote a happy child and happy, keep the atmosphere comfortable and familiar. Shooting in the family home or child's bedroom would be a good idea. A study can work well, such as, but make sure it is a toy. If the parents bring home some familiar elements, like a blanket or a stuffed animal. He loves to take pictures of things the child will be easier to make beautiful pictures!Note: things children like to sleep, eat, swim, crawl, yawning, staring ... not too hard!

4) Bring on "Burst"

Although children can not human beings are great, the precious moments can often be too fast. To make sure you catch these little gems, hold the camera in "burst" or continuous shooting. In a sequence of images, you can allow flexibility in the choice of pictures and shoot later, and you can do for creative designOptions. For example, the child at the beginning, middle and end of a yawn. This is something that could remind parents happy!

5) Treatment is Key

Parents may argue about this, but always change your baby pictures. Children, like adults, have imperfections. There may be some redness of the cheeks (like most children), small scratches, some small Booger nose (you know who you are!), And so on. These images do not look you see on FlickrPerfect for themselves. Smoothing the images using an airbrush with Photoshop or just a bit '. Parents may want to build pictures of natural child, but your portfolio with some very nice photos. Offer to give the family a choice of both.

6) Experiment with paint

Depending on what the family wants to try black and white, color photo lines. While you do not want baby pictures in black and white, this would provide some interesting contrast for photos andalso helps to "modify" the imperfections from the images without having to go deep and the treatment itself (see previous tip, sure!). Families also tend to like black and white images of the child, because look memorable, seem to capture a moment in time, and certainly accentuate the details of the child. You want to make sure that these features pop, especially the eyes! This may also highlight some other means, such as pictures or diapers, where there is a strong color contrast. Color photos looklarge as well - so be sure to dress your child keep it simple and basic. Do not want to distract attention from the most important thing in the picture - the child!

7) The use of natural light and indirect

Most photographers know that the use of natural light looks better on a person. So it goes with a child. If you are shooting during the day, near a window or move to places where there is plenty of natural light. Another note flashes: frighten children. If the child flashweep. A camera lens Big Scary enough, and if you like a ninja can not use Flash. Just do not. Flash also flattened detail in an image. If you need the Flash-DO, try a technique flash bounce: bounce flash something else in the room to illuminate the subject. Or use a flash diffuser (this should not frighten the child, or). If you do not have the ability to bounce flash and there is either little or no natural light, try opening andalso increase your ISO. You can play with the settings a bit ', but make sure the child looks as natural as possible and baby-fied. Yes, I said thanks baby.

This could be due to the reasons of ignorance or lack of associations that evil has been done in the subconscious at an early age. Many people say that actually the root of many adults who are afraid of waterIndeed, the fact that they are not in when they were young or had introduced an event or a bad experience that had to do with water, can be granted. That's why I really think children should start at an early age to the swimming pool and a sensory experience with water. Their parents with them, swimming at the age of 3 is usually a happy event, and this is what should be the association. Then the fear of water, many experts call a mental unnatural fearnor should they be allowed to develop. Not able to swim if you are of age, in fact, something like a disability, socially and physically.

Even when they are young are fun to associate with something like a sport. Swimming is great exercise, develop the muscles of the body and promotes the upper and lower body strength. It also promotes the burning of calories and your kids is a mindset in the exercise of his youth. Once the habit, the more likely cognitivewhen they are young, remains a habit with them until they are older. Even a lot of swimming depends on the physical and begin to tell young people, who always gets better and swim with strong skills, if they can really get in their teens to save a life - a skill that could save a life.

The whole issue really is based only on the issue of the early stages of mental and physical development and promotion of the health effects of swimming for children. If somethingwell, it should always be instilled early in a child, and some parents have taken this move to one end outside the context of fluid within the aqueous environment a children's pool. These are some very important questions to take swimming lessons when force young. If you have a child, I recommend you start him or her soon. You will not regret.

Keeping the same things and sibling rivalry

Sibling rivalry can often determine the hand with parents in the middle of an adventurous journey to blame. So here's a common scenario: The children sit at the table. Check the dishes and a child starts to complain that Child B was more in his blueberry pancakes! Why? accusations start flying, and must be the child of B for which they gave more blueberries!

You can replace "blueberries" with anything imaginable: a larger piece of desserts> Toys, more time and attention, and also the blog of a frustrated mother's ... bubbles in a drink. Parents become artists sculpt and pay all sorts of things in the same amount and the federal government about whether a child receives more than another. It might seem easier to just stick in another Blueberry Pancake, the number to make himself and "fair", but when it ever end? Sometimes, giving the exact same amount for each child is not an option, what can a parent do to prevent painFeelings?

It 'easy to get away with this rivalry, which, to be removed, what with parents scrambling to keep everyone satisfied. However, as a parent is to love is dangerous for a child or are accused of less unjust - especially if you take the trouble to prepare a nice dinner, went alone to face the charges.

When you divide your time between the children to think instead of "I'm1 hour spent with a child, so I should now spend some 'time with the Baby B, a child, even if the requirements are not fully satisfied, you share your time, if necessary. devote the time a child needs are whether it is the plan her birthday party or help with homework, and if you both over for Child B left, so be it. Explain to child B, which his brother, and you have to do something important and he will only be patient. If you pay attention to a child, somuch more than be a concern, for example, if a child has special needs, is also a good idea to allocate a certain amount of time for your other child (ren). Make this special time with just the two of you where you can give your attention. Although it is only 15 minutes a day, can count on and make sure you think of him as well, and not feel so much anger and uncertainty that needs to fight. Mom-son-days are also great way to bond without the distractionthe other brothers.

All agree with a brother is likely that the obsession is as if all the fear that your parents favored one of you legs. Listen to convince your children you love them all "equal", but you all love on several occasions only because they are all different, unique people. It is not loving you more or less, you can not quantify and compare for love when it comes to your children. No matter how hard youMeasure be moments of injustice. While it must be hard to see the disappointment and anger of a child may feel in these moments, because they know that Understand and accept their feelings will help them adapt to life of injustice. Your child will learn, patience, empathy and that not everything in life is perfect, "equal" and measurable ... is in order.

Mermaid Birthday Party - Part 2

This article is Part 2 of a simple and fun mermaid birthday party idea, inspired by the Barbie Mermaidia movie which just came out. After you have all your mermaid guests dressed in their tails and seated in the magical room you have decorated, it's time for the fun and games to begin! Here are several game ideas; you can choose one or do several.

Bubble Toss: Blow up a blue or white balloon. This is a bubble, and the guests have to keep it in the air at all times. They toss it back and forth (remember, they can't run or walk!) and try to keep it from touching the ground. If you like, you can make the rule that the last person who touched it before it hit the ground is out of the game, until only one mermaid is left.

Mirror Mask: To prepare for this game you will need to have a hand-mirror with a handle, and a simple paper mask on a stick (paint stirring sticks work best). One mermaid is "It", and has the mirror. The other mermaids need to be sitting roughly in a circle around her, and be able to reach each other easily. "It" is only allowed to look at the mermaids behind her using the mirror. She will turn around in place, trying to spot which mermaid in the circle is holding the mask up to her face. The mermaids will pass the mask back and forth, and each one who receives it must hold it up over her face before passing it on. "It" tries to catch someone holding it up to her face, then yells "You're It!" The mermaid who was caught now becomes It, and sits in the middle.

Pretend: Most young children just want lots of free time at parties for imaginative play. Being dressed up as mermaids is the perfect set-up. Be sure to provide lots of props, such as plenty of hair ornaments and hand-mirrors so the mermaids can dress up their hair. If inclined you could also provide sparkly makeup. This might be the best time to let each guest choose some treasure from the treasure chest to keep - they could pick out pretty pearls and costume jewelry to dress up with. You could give each guest a small bag to put extra treasure in, to take home later. Just be sure to write their names on the bags with permanent marker so they can find them easily before departing.

Another fun prop the girls might enjoy is a bit of fish netting. These can be found at craft and party stores.

When it's time for food and cake, serve all the mermaids in their party room, picnic style. Good choices would be fish sticks, chicken nuggets or cooked shrimp for the entrée. For sides you could serve Goldfish crackers or Veggie Straws (pretend seaweed). Carrot and celery sticks would make an easy vegetable. You could make the birthday cake into the shape of a fish, and cover the top with green and blue M&M's for scales. Of course, any birthday cake will do. For drink, you could serve blue Koolaid, clear bubbly soda (like Sprite) or water.

After the food, bring all of the gifts to the guests and let each one present her gift to the birthday girl. By this time the guests may be ready to have the run of their legs again. But it's a fun idea to let them take home their mermaid fabric, in case they ever want to wrap up in it at home and relive the memorable party!

How to Paint Cabinet Hinges

Have you been wondering how to paint cabinet hinges? The answer is very, very carefully! That's probably not a helpful answer though. There are a couple different options available to you for painting cabinet hinges. There's a simple way to do it with just a little bit of prep work.

Let's look at the "easy" way. Using this method you won't need to pull the cabinet doors off the hinges. It will only take a couple simple supplies

Painter's tape
A hobby knife
A fine tipped model paint brush
Wet rag
Old newspapers

Prepping is the biggest time consumer here. You need to mask off the area around the cabinet hinge first of all. Start at the outside edge of your workspace and add layers as you work closer and closer to the hinge.

As the tape gets close to the hinge use the hobby knife to cut the tape to fit exactly around the hinge. It's vital that there be no exposed cabinetry. You can use the tip of the hobby knife to press all the tape into place.

Place the old newspapers on the counter top below where you're painting. Use this as your workspace for the paint can as well as catching any drips that might otherwise splash onto the countertop.

Next clean the hinge with a mild soap and water solution and let dry. You don't want to paint over any dust or built up goop.

Now comes the fun part, the painting. Use the fine tipped paint brush to evenly coat the entire hinge. Use only enough paint as needed to cover. You don't want to end up with any drips that might run down the cabinet or bind up the hinge.

Walk away from the cabinet for a few hours to let the paint dry.

Once dry, operate the door to make sure to break any paint welds that might have built up on the hinges.

With the door fully open now repaint the entire hinge. What you're shooting for in adding a second coat is to catch any spots that the brush might not have been able to reach when the cabinet door was closed.

Once again walk away for a few hours to let it dry.
After your well earned break check close and open the door a few times to make sure the hinge isn't sticking. If it operates fine and looks good without any bubbles or drips then congratulations you're finished!

All that's left to do is clean up. Be sure to pull up the painter's tape as soon after painting as possible. You don't want to risk leaving any residue behind that you'll have to scrub up.

That's all there is to a quick hinge paint job. Now that you know how to paint cabinet hinges the easy way you won't need to worry about the major pain of yanking the doors off the cabinets and removing all the hardware. All it takes is a little bit of planning and prep work and you'll have great results.

Surviving the 70's

It 's a miracle through the '60s and '70s lived.

As if Richard Nixon, Vietnam, mutual assured destruction, and really, really bad fashion were not dangerous enough, I faced the daily threat of mass-marketed toys that could maim and wound warp. Mattel? Kenner? Hasbro? Wham? Endless fun with a bit of mutilation thrown in for good measure. The children's toy of my youth would never make the cut today - but dear to my heart as he returnedOthers

'S of toys from my childhood - do you love?

Let me count the ways.

The poisonous

In the 20 years between 1960-1979, nothing said FUN like toxic chemicals and fumes. The Bubble Jet, a fancy water gun you shoved bubble-producing cyanide tablets has been reproduced in large. If women inject the solution into a friend's eyes or mouth, or your meant chemical Good Clean Fun. If you're bored of toxic bubble fun, you can relaxand hit with a shot from your counterfeit cigarettes (or inhale) some 'artificial chemical smoke. If smoking is not your thing, it was time for some of Superelastic Bubble Plastic. When the smoke of Goo blob of plastic is placed still want to fry some brain cells do not lose the key, psychedelic colors of the bubbles were finished safely in Blow Your sense. It was always the classic standby, on Sep Chemistry, always full of toxic potential. "HeyMommmmm! It combines an experiment! (That is to say every damn .. powder mixing and solution of the set together). "" How nice Johnny. Just do not be late for dinner. Johnny? Johnny? What is the terrible smell? "

I find the intoxicating smell of burnt flesh, once was a healthy buzz from sniffing and snorting worked some good things up, it was time to get to the real economy. If you do not have a steel bar at 373 Kelvin, it was not funny. I think 'Iron Red Hot Poker'is not very marketable. Instead, they call this fun offering Wood Burning Kit Designed for the young artist to pursue painting designs on the beautiful face regular virgin forest, we found much more fascinating and rewarding to see That our sister was flammable toys. The fun lasted until we ran things by fire, or burned the hell out of one of our fingers. The kit of wood had the added advantage of this a bit 'over toxic fumes when a plusfun from head to toe before had brought out.

One of the most memorable toys of my youth had the potential to provide fun and third degree simultaneously. Creepy Crawlers have your own bugs and reptiles colored rubber pressing some Goo liquid metal into a mold, then placed in a heated bath water incredibly hot. The mixture of high-voltage electricity, water, toxic goo and stifling heat was intoxicating. I do not remember what the hell wewith the rubber bugs, but makes sure was fun. If you were really adventurous, you have the version that Incredible Edible twofer combines the above risks associated with the use over the (alleged 'edible') product, with a high-risk toys. What a bargain!

For girls, it was always the classic Easy Bake Oven, which makes the potential need for skin grafts with the strength of a light bulb. But the little brownies were really good that can help them, is the mindburns out.

Finally, the children really ambitious, there was Estes Rocket Kit. He spent weeks carefully mounting the model rockets, from real solid fuel motor, and then laboriously preparing Rocketship Blastoff. Three weeks of work was in a few seconds like jumping off a rocket in the world next to be generally never seen again. After a couple of starts, of course, progress to the next logical step - with missiles on their side and will start after the 'Street. We were among the most popular boys in the neighborhood. Finally, we also want to tire problems with the rocket at all, and if the band engine household items on hand (such as cola bottles, empty glass) and fire like this. Good Clean American Fun!

You put your eyes!:

We're damn close several times. At that time the federal government too busy to worry about either betweem idealism and corruption, and war in the dark corners of the worldAs the children were playing. One of my playmates principal, Bonnie Higham, had one of his eyes gouged out with a missile launched by his brother. As I remember, even for a primary school girl, Bonnie WAS pretty hot, although it might be a bit 'disconcerting to see her nice little' blue eye glass drift toward one side, while the other piercings you saw right through. If the loss of the eye was not enough to play for you, you might as well complete with skulls on polesthe elder brother of the Dart, JARTS, better known as Lawn Darts. "These bad boys were big enough to do serious harm, and were so tempting, adults usually disappear with them. Add a little 'alcohol and klutziness adults and had a recipe for fun crazy or tragedy, depending on the your luck.

And, of course, we had the old S-standby mode, the Daisy BB Gun. When we tired of shooting at squirrels, crows, and the windows of the neighbors did not like, it was only a matter of timefirst turned to us. Lets face it. We saw it coming.

There have been other, less weapons forboding. The FLI paddle back was a personal favorite. There is a great weapon with a nice stand-off distance, so you should start a who were in the back of the head to decide his fists, a counterattack. Provided the risk has been hard hit ball in your face if you're not careful, or break the rubber band, sending the bullet from GodKnow where it is determined to break a family heirloom of some sort. If you wanted to take the hostility of a notch, you may call the Red Eye Ball in action. A modern bat, were hard blunt tips almost lethal when it runs at full speed. Finally, an important weapon in the arsenal of many a childhood Johnny Reb Cannon, hard plastic balls on the Damn Yankees, with almost frightening fury was hurled. I wish I lived in a land of cotton.

I will call your eyes, andYou raise a blunt head trauma: It 's amazing that none of us losing our children without traumatic brain injury. Even the simplest of games in my time had the potential to maim. One of my favorites was the boomerang. Ironically, even then, people knew that the traditional hunting Australian boomerang is a weapon, but was still in your stocking at Christmas. It could take years to launch the boomerang perfect sample, since a rapid, sweeping, beautiful arches and beginrunning back to you and your starting point. It took only seconds to realize that he had no idea what to do against it, since sliding into his head to 90 mph. Run for your life!

We all remember the joyous laughter of a slumber party pillow fight. This was not surprising proven marketing time to enjoy the memories hazy with socks boppers. The nostalgic memories of past struggles cushion quickly faded, as they were beaten on the head and shoulders with a few loudBrian Elkins cross from the right, the guy is across the street. could be "Knock Em boppers Senseless was" a more descriptive moniker.

Sometimes you do not need someone else to access all major head trauma experiences. could, in pre-skates, an instrument of death as Strap-On Skate on almost all platforms in America are known sighted. After class, you must use your strap-on Buster Brown shoes or Keds, with your skate special 'to make themWere for the ride of your life. Everything was generally quite good, until you have been taken to a stone floor or happened on the sidewalk, at which point all bets are off. The runners had an interesting trend, easy to reach a certain date. The only salvation is that the maximum speed available has been around with shoes on what is a short walk normally. Fortunately, this time all children were required to wear their head protection when skating special. We calledtheir "baseball caps.

Vehicles of Death:

If you are driving to your death, why not set up its own asshole 'wheels? This is my philosophy of life anyway. After the accident, he turned to 10 years April 24, 1972 PBW (Pre-Big Wheel) I have the ability to sport a trip truly elegant and functional, was robbed. Unfortunately, our vehicles were lame, and generally dangerous as hell. The most dangerous of which was the menacing aspect Skat Skoota. A set of 4Wheels, two pedals with plastic red mark could not succeed Houdini escaped his clutches. Moreover, even if it was possible to cross the road to it without breaking your neck, you could make very cool. Bummer.

Another classic mode those days was the Hasbro Inch Worm. The vehicle itself was perfectly harmless. But when she discovers he rode the thing ridiculous, not your safety could be guaranteed. It may take up to High Schoolrecover for the tech. The only plus point was the inchworm catchy jingle.

In reality, our choices were riding in the day so woefully inadequate, we were forced to create our own. In its lowest form, this could mean that some beans and some stilts jar made of flax rope. But my most memorable experience involved two childhood friends Motorsport twins, David Reynolds and Eddie. With plywood and nails (many), on top of a Radio Flyer wagon frame, erected a monumenttransport still unrivaled. They form on this page is like a lemon, even painting is as clear as the last glorious touch. Carefully, we dragged the top Larkspur Drive, the steepest point happened in our neighborhood. Eddie, not too quickly upwards (if you tell the truth) drew the lucky straw as our primary driver. Outbound car lemon. The countdown started fatal, and with a gentle push, he headed up the slope, gathering speed as hegone. Since our establishment, rushed down into the abyss, we suddenly realized our plan was just intoxicating a fatal mistake. He could not control a Radio Flyer wagon. If the car lemon is the maximum speed of 25 mph hit, he decided it was a 90 degree turn in order. Plywood, nails and Eddie Reynolds, however, decided to continue Larkspur Drive. There was a beautiful finale. The lesson? We do not need dangerous toys. It 'was natural.

I am also pleased to recoil and typical childhoodThe activities, which then embraced. When my brother turned 10, got a set of archery and the destination for Christmas. We regularly fired real arrows at high speed past each other ears. Hilarious, surprising, and ummmm .... rather silly in retrospect. I would never do that even my children ask, but again, if they are missing some basic training to life, the security of your X-Box and Play Stations. You have shared the dangers of my youth. The next time I'm in with delight the stories of some of myfavorite toys. Maybe if I'm really really lucky, you'll share your memories too.

Yellow Submarine Movie Review - Starring The Beatles

"Yellow Submarine" is a psychedelic adventure in animation from the late '60s featuring many songs by the Beatles. The music and animation are both terrific. However, I think the film is a bit scary for young children.

The movie begins in Pepperland, a very peaceful and happy community beneath the sea. Pepperland thrives on music, provided by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. A sinister group of people known as Blue Meanies decide to attack Pepperland with their army of unusual characters, such as apple bonkers, snapping turks, and a flying glove. They first attack the band with a giant bubble of blue glass, which they get trapped inside. Then they go after the citizens with the rest of their army, including the flying glove. When all seems lost, the mayor tells Old Fred to set sail aboard the Yellow Submarine and get help. As Fred leaves, the mayor gets bonked with apples.

Old Fred stops in Liverpool, where he meets the Beatles, who are hanging out at the Pier. He begs them to join him in rescuing Pepperland from the Blue Meanies, and they agree.

The voyage proves to be long and treacherous. The crew passes through many unusual seas, including the Sea of Time, the Sea of Science, the Sea of Monsters, the Sea of Nothing, the Sea of Heads (Foothills of the Headlands), and the Sea of Holes before finally arriving in Pepperland. They lose their instruments in the Sea of Monsters, where Ringo accidentally gets ejected from the submarine and attacked by Indians, but the rest of the crew manages to rescue him. In the Sea of Nothing, they meet Jeremy, a Nowhere Man, and decide to take him along. They end up losing the submarine there though and have to take the rest of the journey on foot.

Finally they arrive in Pepperland, where they are soon joined by Old Fred. They revive the mayor, who tells them that they can pass as Sgt. Pepper's band and ready the land to rebellion with their music. They do so and also rescue Sgt. Pepper's band by placing a hole, which Ringo had taken from the Sea of Holes and kept in his pocket, over the glass which encases them. Defeated, the Meanies begin running away, but the Beatles invite them to join Pepperland for a celebration of peace, love, and music.

Express Your Gratitude With A Thoughtful Handmade Gift Basket

In certain situations, a few simple words do not cover the extent of gratitude one feels. If someone has gone above and beyond the call of duty, presenting them with a gift basket is a classy and thoughtful way to say thanks. With so many options in today's world, it is easy to find the perfect gift.

Homemade gift baskets or gift boxes are simple to arrange. Many dollar stores or discount stores sell fancy baskets or boxes that you can then line with tissue paper and stuff with a wide array of goodies from flowers, to candy, to room sprays. It is important to have a grasp for the other person's likes and dislikes.

If the recipient is a chocoholic, consider creating a basket that has one large chocolate item in the center, such as a chocolate orange, and then circle it with smaller truffles, chocolate kisses, mini chocolate bars, and similar treats.

Baskets of fancy soaps, room sprays, or candles will appeal to women who enjoy filling their home with an array of fragrances. Place a larger decorative soap in the center and then surround it with other smaller items.

If you know the person enjoys bubble baths, create a box or basket with a variety of bath products. Bath oil beads, fizzing bath tablets, bottles of bubble bath, loofah sponges, and even body scrubs will delight any bath lover.

Try creating a theme basket. Children needing thanks will love baskets full of their favorite toys or television characters. Sports lovers will enjoy baskets or boxes with t-shirts, team merchandise, key rings, pens or pencils shaped like baseball bats, pennants and more.

Animal lovers will enjoy a basket with a stuffed replica of their favorite animal. Add a similarly themed notepad, calendar, and t-shirt. If the recipient enjoys gardening, purchase a variety of seeds, gardening gloves, tools, and small pots. Aspiring chefs will enjoy a variety of spices, cooking utensils, a bottle of wine, and similarly themed items.

If your friend is a baker, purchase boxed bread mixes, dessert mixes, and other neat treats. Pack them into a decorated box with a new set of pot mitts.

If putting together a gift basket is not to your liking, visit area shops. Many candy stores, florists, and gourmet stores will create a gift basket from items you pick out. The cost includes the cost of the items you select and then a minimal surcharge for the basket and any wrapping.

Also look into home businesses that create gift baskets or gift boxes for you. Many moms and dads are leaving their 9 to 5 job behind and tapping into the gift basket craze. Their prices are generally lower than a store and the quality is top-notch.

No matter the gift, there are ways to stick with your budget and give a gift of thanks that will never be forgotten. Use your imagination and you are guaranteed that the recipient knows how much you appreciated their help.
