aanyanka Help!!!! Mar 27, 2008 9:21 AM Hi! My husband and I just bought a house (in January) and we are planning on having an open house so that all of our friends and family can stop by to see it. I really need some help with the invitation wording. I want the invite to reflect a casual "drop by for some coffee and a tour" vibe. I also want for people to realize this is an open house not a housewarming (i.e. no gifts are expected) without actually saying "no gifts please". Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any and all suggestions!

klynnmorton How To...Make a Disco Ball Nov 29, 2007 8:39 PM Materials: With a little elbow grease you can make your own disco ball that can be used over and over again, for very little money. You will also need wire, a wire cutter, a pencil, and a measuring tape for this project. 1. Cut a piece of wire about five inches long, using wire cutters. Using the end of the wire, poke a hole into the top of the styrofoam ball then pull out the wire. 2. Put a generous amount of glue onto the end of the wire, then reinsert an inch of the wire into the hole, allow to set. 3. Once set, bend the wire 90 degrees, where the ball and the wire meet, wind the wire around the pencil about three times until you have formed a tight circle. Apply a small amount of glue to the end of the wire, and insert this end into the original hole. Allow to set. 4. Depending on the measurement of your ball, measure 1/2 the size of the ball from the point where the wire is inserted. Mark with the pencil. Moving around the ball, using the wire as a starting point, make several marks. Connect these marks until you have a straight line around the ball (like the equator). 5. Starting at the line, glue the mirror squares, one next to another in a line around the ball,continue for the entire ball. For space, either color in with silver paint pen or using a box cutter (be very careful) cut the back of themirrored square in a shape that will fit the space. Applying medium pressure to the cut line, break the mirror and glue the smaller piece into the space. 6. Allow to set overnight. Thread a string or more wire into loop to hang from ceiling or other space.
klynnmorton 1980s Themed Birthday Party Oct 26, 2007 7:58 AM I am having an 80s themed birthday party this year...and while it is an 80s party, I am not going to be TOTALLY dressed in 80s gear from head to toe...but I will be rockin the 80s style...and my decor will surely take people back to days of doing the "Running Man", listening to Run DMC and Michael Jackson, watching "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller", and asking Santa for a Rubik's Cube, a Cabbage Patch, or some GI Joes... My Outfit (sorta) I will be mixing the pop and hip hop elements I so love from the eighties... The party decor:
