I have had the most amazing March so far. The month started off with a fantastic birthday (which included some unexpected hail and a day off of work). It continued with a couple of amazing wins by the Wolfpack and the payoff from a few months of hard work which was extremely rewarding. This weekend was kicked off with more late night basketball and housecleaning before the most awesome angry birds birthday party ever. After celebrating my baby girl's birthday we got to go to a late showing…

A simple fundraising idea is often the best. They dont come more simple than The Golden Egg. But it still makes a great stall at your fete.

Party Game. An old navigation map glued to foam board with letter cutouts. Add construction paper to make the airplanes and the game is complete. Using glue, a picture frame and a map I already had, the entire project cost only $3.00! Definitely within the party planning budget. I purchased the construction paper, letters, and foam board at the .99 cent store. Super easy and inexpensive.

Lob a choc. Blocks of chocolate sit on chicken wire covering a box. Players throw coins at the chocolate, if their coin lands on a block they win it. If not the coins fall through the chicken wire into the box below. A great money spinner!
