Hey do you remember back when I told you all I was mailing a BIG project into SU! well I still havent heard anything ..BUT I am still not giving up.. anyway here is the project I mailed into SU! .. Everything here is what I did for my Pirate themed Hostess appreciation party Back in July .. Note : I also had pop top cans for door prizes But I did not have them in this photo BUT I did send one in with these goodies ( just had to make one up ) .. you can see the pop top cans on my web shots gallery on the last page.. just click the link on the left side of my blog ) What a GREAT time we all had ..
I made the invites and sent them out I then had to 
come up with games that we played with a pirate theme something not listed in the goodie bag was my savaenger hunt game .. I also made all my hostess's a eye patch along with a coupon book ( eye patches were just Black CS I used the coluzzle and only cut one side of the circle to make eye patch and then attached Black GG ribbon and stamped the parrot in craft white.)
Award cerificates were handed out ( highest in ws sales , most catalog parties, most home workshops, most guests etc...) inside announced an amount a free stamp set they could choose ( ex: a 19.95 stamp set and etc.. depending on the award each were diferent amounts ) and 
also each gal recieved a couple cho goodies with a little note attached ..
OH yes lets not forget the Pirate menu for the evening 
alot of finger food .. I have all my pirate photos listed on my web shots gallery( listed on the left side of my blog ) Thats if you would like to see more of my Hostess appreciation party event.. Still holding out hope that SU! likes my Pirate party in a bag goodies .. I had also sent in photos from my event in the goodie bag too.
Tonights my club meeting .. always fun!! I have everything ready to go and lets pray I dont forget something "AGAIN" Hee!... I get to finally meet Susan tonight .. Last week Susan found my SU web site and called me and said she lives in my area and wants to Stamp . ( a woman after my own heart ) So I am very excited about meeting her tonight also .. Plus another step in winterizing the things around the house .. Hubby is closing up pool tonight also YIPPY!!
Quote from Vickies Book page 210:
How offten do you hear or say "Thank God its Friday" ? Do we want to enjoy ONLY 2 days out of the 7? Why not Thank God its TODAY" ? Like a friend says "If you are living for the weekend , your Aren't living "
Heres another one :
Create your own party. Embrace Life with energy and Joy. Wherever you go, Take the party with you .

What a cute idea with the whole pirate party! And I love your pirate menu. The whole set is too cute and SU should definitely take notice and showcase it in a publication.
