I LOVE every.single.idea Amy has!An idea she has been inspiring me with lately with is from her decorative bottled water with a drop in powder lemonade envelope and a tagged note for a teacher appreciation gift. Easy & doesn’t cost much at all! I have been since making Fall versions with cookies, cider and so on and sending my daughter to school with them for her teachers with notes of appreciation and praise. I even have ideas to get some Christmas festive ones going. The teachers love them and hopefully feel appreciated.

I have too many favorite childhood games,but one unique game that many people might not have played was the Smurfs card game. You’d divide up the cards among two players, and place one card face up.
Whoever had the more powerful card would take the other card and place both of them at the bottom of his/her deck.
For example, Gargamel > any other card. Smurfette > Papa Smurf. etc.
Whoever took all of the other person’s cards won the game.
Simple, yet fun.
Candyland was my favorite!
We were obsessed with Risk!

We use to play a monkey/crocodile type game. We would spread all of the couch cushions out on the family room floor (they were rocks and the floor was water). We had to jump from rock to rock across the room to the other couch without getting eaten by the crocodile. With two older brothers I never lasted very long
I love her site – lots of great ideas! I like the ice wreath and having kids write a letter to ‘Santa’ (but sending it to a family member) and having ‘Santa’ write back.
I subscribe!
My favorite childhood game was TAG! We would run around for hours trying to catch each other!!

My favorite childhood game was battleship! I still love it =)
I’ve gotten lots of good ideas from her site (which I”ve been following for a few months). The most recent: graham cracker gingerbread houses.
I am not sure if this was a game or not…but I LOVED it. It was a paper doll of sorts. It that came with scraps of fabric & I layered the fabrics & closed the “lid” on the flat dollish thing. Making 1000′2 of outfits. I wish I could remember what it was called….!! & that they still made them. I could buy it for my daughter who would hate it & I could play with it again!
Thanks!
Wendy
