Thursday fun!

My friend Crystal turned me on to this "Thursday Thirteen" site so it inspired me to create a list on my Squidoo site about 13 birthday party themes. You can check it out by clicking the link button below:




The fun thing about the Squidoo list is that other people can vote the list up and down depending on which "theme" they think is the most fun. Give it a try!

Another Collector's Club - Buttercookie


Here's the newest collector's club baby! This is Buttercookie sporting his new Uncle Sam outfit! So cute and looks just like our original sized buttercookie bear too!

You can join the collector's club too and get a limited edition miniature version of our animals delivered right to your door every 8 weeks or so! So much fun!

Click HERE to join or contact me for more details!

Collecting collectible stuffed animals is a great first hobby for kids because they get excited about getting them but they also start to see the value of something that's considered "collectible". So although they'll want to "play" with their new Noah Baby every time, and they can by putting in the rainbow star, filling out the birth certificate and dressing him, you can help them see how they can keep him nice, keep his tags on, etc., to keep the collectible value. Or, even better, get two each time and keep one for the collectible value and use the other for a wonderful friend to love and play with that can have his tags cut, etc!

Want to find out more...

about how the Noah's Ark Workshop business works? Take a listen to my interview with Kelly McCausey on WAHMTalkRadio.com. We talked about the business and why it might be something you'd want to look at as a business for yourself. It was great fun!

Monday Birthday Tips - Great Snack Containers

Every Monday I'll try to post a quick birthday tip. I was inspired to do Monday tips by my friend Marie again! Thanks for keeping me "blog accountable" Marie!!

Here's a great tip from my mom-in-law for serving snacks at your large birthday party. Use coffee filters (the flat Mr. Coffee shaped ones not the cone filters). They're easy, inexpensive, won't break and you can just scoop them right into the trash when the party is over!

I use this for all my outdoor parties now too. We put goldfish, pistachios, M&Ms etc at all the different tables outside at the parties. That way I can set out several small "bowls" so the guests can munch on the run and not always have to come back to the main table for a handful of snacks. It works great!

How about you - Any good birthday quick birthday party tips to share?

Friday Favorite - Cubby Bear



Each Friday (or whenever I remember) I'll highlight one of our stuffed animals and why it's my favorite (thanks for the idea Marie from Mommy Community).

Today I want you to see Cubby - one of our Noah Grands and definitely one of my favorites. Cubby is sooooo adorable, pure white fur with sweet eyes and the softest fur around. His squeeze factor is at a 10+.

I've found that Cubby is a big seller not just with kids but with adults. There's something about him that draws the "kids of all ages" thing. Just look at him!!! And he's 100x better in person!

The Great Noah's Ark Workshop animal giveaway

Some of you know that we've been working with our sister blog, CrittersWhoCare.com
to give away an animal a day for a good cause, to a need child, etc. It's been fun!

The girls and I recently packed up a bunch of "no longer available" Noah's Ark Workshop animals to be given here locally to a couple of hand picked shelters and children's wards in the hospital. I'm looking forward to seeing the kids faces when we walk in with these animals. So fun!

Do you know of a news story near you of a child who might have lost a parent, be in the hospital, etc., that would enjoy one of our give-a-ways? Please send the news clipping URL to our CrittersWhoCare.com team and we'll be happy to consider it.

Thanks in advance!
