<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another way is the instruction sheets we include with our shipped items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's an example of one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b3X5opgEPbM/WoRY02mcXXI/AAAAAAAAEME/jz2B9b_wOosotqijcYZLzZGv-EyXTmzTgCLcBGAs/s1600/Instruction%2BPage%2Bof%2Bmusic%2Bwords.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1245" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b3X5opgEPbM/WoRY02mcXXI/AAAAAAAAEME/jz2B9b_wOosotqijcYZLzZGv-EyXTmzTgCLcBGAs/s400/Instruction%2BPage%2Bof%2Bmusic%2Bwords.jpeg" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We need to ship things in a safe and economical way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We use Fedex and they are careful but we still need to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">box things securely. Flat items that are packaged in similar shapes works</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the best. So therefore some assembly is often required upon arrival.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These instruction sheets show visual helps as well as words to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">describe the process. Also included is my email and phone number.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We love to make and create party decorations like Sign In Boards, Place cards,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Centerpieces, Gift Card Money Envelope Boxes and Candle Lighting Centerpieces. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But sometime we realize people want and need to create their own ideas.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Therefore we created helpful videos for cutting that foamcore that looks easy to cut </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">but required some skills and knowing some tips and tricks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Also, once the foamcore is cut, then the fun </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">begins with paint, glitter and various glossy and fun accent items. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It can be easy if </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">you know where to buy supplies economically (we share resources in our videos) and </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">how to assemble things. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First line of defense is a hot glue gun, of course. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">everyone should own one...or even two for a backup or to offer to your most</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sharing is caring and we care that your special event day is successful and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the run up to the day is also as smooth as it can be.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hello there. Glad you found us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm Marlyss on the left who is writing this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stacey is my daughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've been making party decorations here in Michigan for longer than I want to attach a number to. Stacey joined up with me over 10 years ago. She has brains (went to West Point and got an engineering degree) and beauty and mad foamcore cutting skills and an overflow of creativity flowing thru her veins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stacey also has great iMovie skills so we've made some instructional videos to share with the world all the things we've learned about making and shipping party decorations all around the United States. We only ship in the USA but very often get requests from the UK, Canada, Australia and once even from Africa. We don't ship to these places but we definitely can offer our video help to folks anywhere out of the USA....or here as well in the United States if you are a do-it-yourselfer or a party professional who wants to enhance their skills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We can always still make things and ship them directly to you but I realize that sometimes folks have really tight budgets or even just want to do things themselves to </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">dig in deep into their party making process. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We've learned so much over the years. Sometimes the hard way too. But we have grown and have made so many fun & unique party centerpieces and signs from the inspirational input that folks have given us to get our creative juices flowing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you want to dig in deep to make your own ideas or have to just because the budget is small but the ideas are large, one of these videos is just right for you!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">By far.... the post I made in 2009 about graduation centerpieces has been the most popular. I've added updates to it many times to keep it fresh. Since I post more on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram, I have not made as many posts here on this blog even though it's alive and well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So I decide to post my favorite gift card boxes from this years Class of 2017 to inspire and also to show that I'm still here and working away!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our gift card boxes are made from foamcore and often painted with high gloss Rustoleum colors. We use layered cutouts for lettering and photos to add dimension to the boxes. There is always a slot on top and a trapdoor on the bottom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Simple ones start at $85. Two to three level ones average $150-185 plus shipping.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">They can be ordered by emailing me at </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">marlyss@mac.com</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'll keep adding to this page as the season goes along but here's a few graduation gift card money envelope boxes to get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First let me say.....we never limit the amount of photos you can use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some folks use one photo and it can be great. Some use many and that's sure fun too!</span><br />

If they don't, well then, I just won't buy it. My iPad Mini travels with me both on vacations and around town and out to eat frequently. It's my buddy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have 3 levels of jackets for here in Michigan.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">LIGHT WEIGHT: Costco fleece jackets (or similar) with the all-important zipper pockets on the sides so things can't fall out and an inside pocket that is big enough...just barely.... for the iPad mini. "Barely" counts as good enough for me.</span><br />

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">MEDIUM WEIGHT: </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My favorite medium weight jacket is from </span><a href="http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/Chloe_Glow.shtml" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ScotteVest</a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. Here's me and one of the 15 pockets this jacket has. It's called the Chloe Glow Hoodie and is $90 unless you get it on sale which I did. I didn't receive any benefits from saying this but I love their clothing and if I was a millionaire, I'd probably order everything they have for women. Since I'm not, I'm selective. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I ordered this one in XL because I like to layer up underneath it. I'm 5'4" and 135lbs and it fits me fine. Since Scottevest tends to have very accurate measurements if you like a more loose casual fit, I suggest upping it one size and forgetting about your ego like I had to do.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">HEAVY WEIGHT: If I'm more dressy or it's really cold here in Michigan then my black coat from Columbia with an inner and removable very warm Omni-Heat silver liner fits the bill. I also ordered this in XL. I bought it at an outlet mall and kept trying them on until it felt just right. The outlet mall also had a North Face outlet but I'm too frugal for that. Columbia was fine with me. I liked their prices better and I couldn't love this coat anymore than I do...unless it was plastered with a North Face logo....because this pocket is BIG and could probably hold a little kid or puppy inside it instead of my iPad mini. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Now about the iPad mini cases.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For 3 years I've had an Invellop Leatherette Case that I bought for $14.95.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It still looks like new. "Leatherette" is good stuff. Wears well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The best feature on the Invellop Case</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">is that you can close the cover and it shuts the iPad mini off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's my favorite feature.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My second favorite feature is that it holds a pen stylus with an elastic loop. It's worked</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">great for 3 years and is still working just fine. It's handy to always have a pen and I use</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the writing pen end more than the rubber stylus because...now my next favorite feature...it has some credit card slots that I keep small sheets of paper in instead.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Perfect for a quick note. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">(I know I could use an app for that but sometimes I stay in old school mode.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEJnCvjuKmo/Vk-w-sVTVSI/AAAAAAAADqY/MwJhOrHgfqM/s1600/Invellop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEJnCvjuKmo/Vk-w-sVTVSI/AAAAAAAADqY/MwJhOrHgfqM/s400/Invellop.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The only drawback to the Invellop </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Case...and it's a major one....is </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">that it will not reliably stand up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I can't tell you how often I've used a salt and pepper shaker behind it to raise it up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That works well in a restaurant but when I'm laying in bed that trick won't work. So I just hold it in my hand or prop it on blankets. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">t does have a hand strap but it's thin and doesn't instill confidence.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's why when I got the chance to try the Gladius iPad mini case by New Trent (on the left) that goes for $35.93 I jumped right on the deal they offered me to review it and try it at a discount.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x7WMXbs_oyQ/Vk-x6MBcTRI/AAAAAAAADqg/IoAurZ4H3yw/s1600/IMG_0646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x7WMXbs_oyQ/Vk-x6MBcTRI/AAAAAAAADqg/IoAurZ4H3yw/s400/IMG_0646.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was intrigued by the metal stand and the beefy hand strap. That's what drew me in and both features did not disappoint. (The Invellop on the right is playing nice and standing for the picture but it doesn't have the iPad mini in it for the picture. When the iPad mini is in the Invellop case the weight makes it very unstable.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The fact that I now have to press a button on the side to shut off the iPad...or wait 2 minutes for it to auto shut off....gosh I'm so lame....makes me not miss folding over a lid quickly to shut it off seem like something I can live without. Especially since there is a clear cover over it now that comes as part of the more protected Gladius case on the left.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The New Trent Gladius case stands up by itself so well. It stands up even on my bed when I turnover or adjust. It's a very sturdy kickstand. It's not an adjustable one though. But the angle choice they decided to make it was probably for this reason and it's more easily viewed straight on than looking down at it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I thought I'd use the hand strap more now that it's a beefier one on the New Trent Gladius. I guess if I worked in the Apple store and walked around with it more, I probably would. (And I'd look so cool in my grey t-shirt with the Apple logo. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If only I was an Apple genius. If only. If only.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I thought I might go back to my old Invellop</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">case because I love familiarity and there is comfort in things you are use to. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But....I guess the winner is the New Trent Gladius because my iPad mini is still in there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think it has found a new home. And...as you can tell from the size, it still</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">fit in all my pockets!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's some pictures from the development of a shopping </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It all started with several preliminary logo designs and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">ended with one similar to the the top right one.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then we shipped things to another state with</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">instruction pages included for the balloon person</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When we ship out our party decorations, we very often</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">send an instruction page with finished photos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This helps in the re-assembly upon arrival.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They are easy to assemble.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But sometimes a picture just makes it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">even EASIER.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's some examples of <b>an INTRUCTION PAGE</b> we've</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">sent out with some of our designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We also send out <b>VISUALS</b> to help with decisions on</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">types of party decor like whether to use mylar poufs or</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">shredded mylar for example.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maybe just looking at them will help you if you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">are a do-it-yourself person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you aren't a <b>DIY</b> type of person, then send us </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">an email at: marlyss@mac.com and we</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">can talk about how we can help you have an</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">#<b>FABULOUS PARTY</b>.</span></div>

I follow <a href="http://mashable.com/2014/01/09/10-startup-founders-best-advice/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link">Mashable on Facebook and they posted one of those</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://mashable.com/2014/01/09/10-startup-founders-best-advice/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link">"Best Advice" articles</a> for those in their own business.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite paragraph was on Business Balance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's an excerpt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5TAlawa0iZM/Us8mjWwSJDI/AAAAAAAAC3M/ghm63jqZz78/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-09+at+5.24.27+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5TAlawa0iZM/Us8mjWwSJDI/AAAAAAAAC3M/ghm63jqZz78/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-09+at+5.24.27+PM.png" height="202" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had just used that word the day before in a form </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was filling out for an application for a small business</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">grant contest that Fedex is sponsoring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's my form. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Starting January 16th if enough folks are kind enough to vote</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for us then we may move onward to the next level of finalists.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have plans for what I would do with the grant and it </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">involves upgrading my shipping area. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I "balance" my work life between designing on the computer and boxing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and shipping our party decorations that Stacey brings to life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My teeter totter balances between being cozy and comfortable at the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">computer </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and being cold and frosty in our garage shipping area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Oh how nice it would be if my teeter totter was level and I </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was warm in both places. I would have achieved another</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">form of 'Balance' in another area of my life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm so hoping to see that in my future!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I found this real creature on </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I saw some similar Ghost Flowers on Pinterest but they had</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">no instructions on how to make them. So I had to go </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">on a learning mission because I had to have some of these</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">fun candle lighting yard art flowers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted to be able to make a bunch so they had to be </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">simple to make and not cost too much in supplies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The best features of these silvery Ghost Flowers is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">that they are fast & easy to make and inexpensive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And no painting or hot glue is required.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll show you how.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First, these are the supplies I bought at Lowe's:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• silver aluminum screening </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">36" x 84" ($8)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• 36" metal rods 1/8" diameter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(with or without threads...each will</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> They are lightweight</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You also have to find some plastic </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">pop or water bottles...cheaper and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">lightweight is best and as close to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">flat on the bottom and inside as you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">can find. Usually there is a small bump but</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a fix for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Use some gummy floral tack or candle holder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">adhesive in the bottom of the cut off bottle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then set the candle on top of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cut a square of the aluminum mesh about</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">18" square and round the corners so </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">you have a loose circle shape. You don't have</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">to be exact here. Grab the middle and pinch it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">together and clip the alligator clip on it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then insert the clip over the rod.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You could super glue the clip to the rod or</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">twist it onto the rod if it has threads.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maybe you want to wear gloves for this part </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">because now you are going to bend and shape</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the flower. You can fold down the edges or</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">roll them over...either over or under. It doesn't </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">matter. Free form is what you're going for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Something graceful and nestling around</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the plastic candle cup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You'll find that each one develops into it's own</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">look and some you'll like better than others. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just like real flowers!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Silver has ALWAYS been the single most</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">popular party accent color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One time we did an all silver party </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with lots </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of silver mylar. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was beautiful but almost impossible to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">take a picture of what it really looked like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There was so much reflection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But "Diamond Mesh" is a bit different than</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">shiny silver mylar with big areas of reflection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are no stones in the diamond mesh but</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">it looks like there are stones in the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">concave round circles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They really shine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The tiny silver circles add bling and glitz yet </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">blend so well with </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">other items and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">let's them showcase as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It cuts with scissors and bends and curves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We get it in 10 yard rolls that are 4.5" wide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's a very versatile thickness and works great</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">on our octagon bases that are 3 1/2" high. We always</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">have uses for the extra leftovers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> It's fun stuff.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ask us about using some on a design for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or maybe just order some bases. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The diamond mesh bases make even the simplest</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">items placed on top look very special. Think about using</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">model cars, stuffed animals or even flowers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hollywood parties are fun with a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">variety of ways to present the idea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can do oscars, cameras, film strips,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">popcorn, clapboards and even the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hollywood sign itself makes a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">cute centerpiece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We make a real klieg light out of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">foam core that lights up. It can</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">be a centerpiece by itself or </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">part of a larger one like this one</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with a large directors chair.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lately we've done some </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">unique and different placecards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's a card stock ice skate we did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It inserts into a silver foamcore</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">base with slits for the cards to stand in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's the same idea but with a TV show theme.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The foamcore boards with slits ship easily and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">gives you the opportunity to set-up the place</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">cards ahead of time. Then you can just</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">carry the board into the party and set it on </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the table top and it's ready to go.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's an iTunes (or in this case hTunes)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">placecard. The name card itself was not</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a separate piece but made to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">look like it was. The price of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">$3.16 was the date of the party </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">which was March 16.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">checks and we used a font that looked</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">like handwriting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They stood in slits cut into a foamcore topper</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with a cute waitress....also known </span></div>
