2008 Beijing Olympics, Celebrate with Sports Confetti and Balloons

The 2008 Beijing Olympics will be here in almost one week and I'm sure most of you are getting very excited for it! The history of the Olympics is truly fascinating. Some form of the Olympics was first recorded by the Ancient Romans around 776 B.C in Olympia, Greece. The first official modern day Olympics as we know it today was held in 1859 also near Athens, Greece. What a coincidence!
This years Olympics is officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad. Almost 10,500 athletes are expected to compete in 302 events within 28 different sports! Did you know that, according to the Official Olympics Website, the USA is the leading winner of all time Olympic medals with 2,197 medals won altogether?! So... what can you do to celebrate this huge worldwide event? Throw an Olympics party, of course!

How to Celebrate a 100th Birthday

Turning 100 is a major, major milestone. This year alone over 60,000 Americans will celebrate their 100th birthdays. By the middle of this century New York Life estimates that there will be almost one Billion Centarians. So how do we celebrate these very special people in our lives?
For starters, have a party. No one should reach 100 and not have a party. Your theme is simple, 100 years of life. Pick an invitation and sprinkle 100 confetti in it. Available in gold or bright rainbow metallic.
Inflate Giant Number Balloons to create the number 100 and place behind the head table. The numbers 1 and Zero come in Gold,Silver,Blue,Red, Purple and Pink. They look amazing and you can have pictures taken in front of them.
For Centerpieces take a sand weight, add a number 100 spray, tie a few latex balloons to the top and you're good to go. It's unique, fast easy and best of all looks way more expensive that it is.

Curious person that I am I decided to find out. It's no accident that chocolate chip cookies are referred to as toll house cookies. They were first made at a restaurant called the Toll House.

The astute Mrs Wakefield approached Nestle and partnered with them, her recipe, their chocolate chips.

Create a Sticker

Wow, I just discovered something really cool

It's a sticker maker. It's made by a company called Xyron

You put any shape or size of Confetti in it, squeeze down and you get a sticker of

the confetti. You could use it on envelopes, signs, posters...anything you craft with.

It would be perfect for scrapbooking. I love the fact that you can create whatever you want
