Frugal Minecraft party, con't

Games and decorations were all made with stuff we had around the house.

 
The letter A's have the Creeper face in them


Cutting out a Ghast, Pig and Creeper for the target game


This just shows what the final product looked like  We hung them so nothing was behind the targets so they would swing a bit when hit.

Frugal birthday take 2

This year the son turned 10
Again he had a choice, birthday out somewhere, but limited numbers of friends,
or at home and invite as many as he wants.
Home birthday!
Minecraft theme

First the Pinata...
just like last year, but instead of a balloon, I cut the sides out of a box.
It is (Supposed to be) a Ghast from Minecraft
Cost to make 65 cents.  I ran out of white paint and bought more.

I am back...again

After an extended break I am back
I had rewards points at Kmart, so bought sneakers for my son.
Actually 2 pairs. One for now, one for later when he grows
Sneakers on sale for 9.96
I had 10.00 in reward points

Also, I saw the Clearance rack, and you know Clearance is my favorite brand name.

I bought 2 Large jars of Peanut Butter for  54 cents each.  They expire in May 2014.  
Also found candies for a low as 10 cents, great for my son's Easter basket.
Nothing was expired.  Nothing damaged.
