They should be nature table sized ... but that said, I am having such a hard time coming up with ideas, maybe we should switch to child sized? What do you all think??

i think nature table size would be awesome, but i am having a hard time with ideas too

i just need a few kid free moments to figure out bendie size party favors and decorations.

Either one is fine with me. Maybe I will just have to think on it more when Lorna is napping...LOL

I finally figured out what to do! I am doing miniature items linked to New Year customs. I made everyone a bunch of 12 grapes, because in Spain it is custom to try to eat 12 grapes while the clock is striking 12. I made a black eyed pea for everyoen because it is a Southern tradition to eat a black eyed pea on New Year's Day to ensure good luck and wealth in the new year. I made a clock that I will put the hands at midnight when they are dry. And I made little champagne bottles, for that midnight toast! LOL!

do you all mind if my new year hats are cone shaped - instead of the traditional tiara and guy's hat (don't know what you call them...bowlers maybe?) i wanted to make them then make 2005 out of wire and stick in the tips (make sense?)

I think that would be CUTE...I love the cone shaped ones!!

mom2kbeth · 12-08-2005, 02:10 PM

Cone shaped hats would be fine ... just make sure they say 2006, lol!

LOL! It's totally something I would do, make an item that says 2005 for a 2006 New Year's swap, so I wanted to be sure to point it out!

huntersmama · 12-08-2005, 04:46 PM
