Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Great ideas! You can get a huge pack of paper plates for cheap so I like to have them on hand. There's always tons left over after parties, too.

People must lay awake nights thinking up most of these. This is so neat. I down loaded it onto my iPad so it's safe for future reference. There are so many great ideas that I can use with the grand kids when they visit. And the best part of all is it won't bankrupt me.thank you!
