Yesterday we received a birthday party planning catalog. 100 pages of licensed characters and every bit of cheap plastic crap you can think of to go along with them. My husband and I, both the artsy/craftsy type, got a good kick out of it. It's so much more fun to do it yourself. <BR/><BR/>I've been enjoying your blog for some time now. Especially enjoyed the kids and consumerism post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
