Olympics Celebration

More Olympics Celebration Ideas

In keeping with the Chinese Theme for our Olympics Celebration,

I remember these Felt Fortune Cookies featured in

Martha Stewart Magazine for Valentines Day.

Oh the fun you can have with these on so many occasions!

These Felt Fortune Cookies were featured on the

Craftzine Blog...

If you are not planning a party to celebrate The Olympics

Opening Ceremony...you have several days of Olympic

Broadcasts to celebrate.

See my next post for other 2008 Olympic Celebration Ideas.

Now.... all the other occasions these Felt Fortune Cookies

can be used....Favors for Baby Showers and Birthday

Parties, Gifts for those you Visit Teach, Young Women or

Relief Society Handouts, Table Decorations (great conversation

starters for a dinner party!)

Examples: If you are hosting a Dinner Birthday Party,

the Felt Fortune Cookies could be filled with questions or

funny stories about the guest of honor.

For a Baby or Bridal Shower,

fill the Felt Fortune Cookies with advice to the new mother or bride.

Use them for a game

where every one's cookie has a question about the guest of honor.

Just creating personal messages for the fillers will be fun!

Enjoy!

Happy 2008 Olympics Viewing and Celebrating!

Celebrate The Olympics Opening

Ceremony!

08-08-08....

I had so many plans for this exciting day.

Appropriately, I am planning a Chinese Centered

Olympics Opening Ceremony Party!

Lanterns, Fireworks, Pandas, Fortune Cookies, Chinese

Food, Dragons, Tanagrams, Chinese Symbols, etc.

With two days to go, I am focusing on what will be

most enjoyable and memorable.

(and easy!)

I decided to focus on Lanterns, Chinese Food,

and Fortune Cookies.

Time is not on my side to place an order for the

Paper Lanterns as seen at

Design Mom and at Oh Happy Day, sister of Design Mom

Read all about the recent Kirtsy Party and these amazing decorations.....

Paper Lantern Source recommended by Jordan at Oh Happy Day.

I will use the Paper Lanterns I have from a few other occasions,

however, this will provide a great afternoon activity with my kids.

Remember making these in Elementary School?

Paper Lanterns.
If you end up purchasing or making lanterns....I recommend
using RED.....The Chinese color for Good Luck!
Aside from the fact that I am partial to RED!!!!
When our Paper Lanterns are completed, I will post photos.
I am thinking we will use Red paper and decorate with splashes
of Gold.
If you want ideas for celebrating The Olympic Opening Ceremonies,
just surf GOOGLE!!!! I did searches under Olympic Crafts and Activities,
Chinese New Year Activities, Crafts, and Decorations, Paper Lanterns,
Olympic Party Decorations, etc.

Are you planning to watch The Olympics Opening Ceremonies?
If so, do you have plans to celebrate?
I would love to hear your ideas.
What is your favorite Summer Olympics Competition?
Are you as excited as I am to have the 2008 Summer Olympics almost here?

The only drawback is... during the Olympics, I get very little accomplished.
I tend to watch TV every night and follow the Competitions closely!
Does this happen to you?
