Pirate Party - Tip


Photo from Target.
Get your decorations NOW! If you are planning on a pirate theme party within the next year, now is the time to get your decorations! With all the current Halloween decor out right now there are plenty that coordinate great with the pirate theme. Have you ever tried to find pirate decorations any other time of year? Well let me tell you it is hard. Not much selection. So now is the time, and if you wait til the day after Halloween they all go half off, but you have to get there early and you do have less to choose from. But you can't beat half off! Target has a great selection to fit this theme! Just check out this link here! I am loving the skull cookie jar, he is wearing a crown. And how about the spreader set, salt and pepper, place card holders and the mugs pictured above? They even have a skull fog machine! All the stores have great stuff for pirate theme right now in the Halloween section!

Will you do this on 9/11?

I got this email as I am sure many of you did. I don't usually forward many emails. But this one got my attention and after reading it I thought it was a good idea. So check it out and copy and paste it into an email and spread the word!
THE PROGRAM:

On Friday, September 11th, 2009, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies. We do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail.
Action Plan: So, here's what we need you to do.

(1) Forward this email. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.

Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!
