My birthday...


My b'day is coming up next month and it's a big one...a frighteningly big one. I keep trying to think of what to do for it but can't think of anything. I'm usually all about themed parties but after this last year and our Marie Antionette, Mad Hatter, Black and White, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and Red and White Christmas....I cant think of anything! Sigh....

So I beg you, my 12 readers, what ideas might you have? Keep in mind, money is a bit skim.

circus. i am quite partial to the circus sideshow, but overall circus theme might be more family friendly. -liza

Uuummm, that is AWESOME! I can't believe I didn't think of that! Mustached ring leader! Oh yes indeed! Hmmmmm.....I must think on this some more..any expounding on this idea would be most welcomed!!!

yeah, i went as a ring leader for halloween a couple of years ago, it was great.

and, decorating would be easy - red and white stripes and flags and balloons. people could be animals or performers or clowns (scary). you could serve popcorn and cotton candy (although i don't know how to make cotton candy at home).

i found a site that has free circus fonts (18 of them. i will email you the link since it won't let me post it here.

This is a grrrreat idea! I just might go with this! Sigggh, I've always been a bit bummed that my b'day is in the dead of winter...this would be SOOO much fun if we could do it outside. I will have to think on it some more.

ps. I LOVE the pics of you as the Ring Leader from that Halloween. Wasn't that the year Eric was Where's Waldo?

Hey what about a Valentine's Day Theme? Everyone has to wear hearts, red, white, pink? Or something in that direction that would be fun. We soooo need to do parties together!!

Hmmm, perhaps, perhaps. Though I try to keep my birthday separate from V. Day since they are so close. I was thinking of doing another Chinese New Year Birthday Party (every so often they coincide..and I think they do again this year) I did several years back and it was super fun....and I still have all the stuff I bought in China Town in SF for it. I LOVE the Circus theme but it REALLY needs to be outside for me to be able to do all the things I want to do for it. Hmmmmmm....still thinking. And I need to get my booty in gear cuz it's coming up FAST! Sigh.
