I love Electrolux but I can't afford it.

Alright this Christmas I want to get my parents something really cool an I have a 3 different ideas that I think are the best. The first option is to get them a new refrigerator, stove and microwave. 1 reason is because the ones that they have right now are not energy efficient (I'm kind of a green freak) another reason is that the stove top is really wonky and all the burners are offset. Now I'm thinking a nice stainless steal french door like the one below. And that fridge right there is a really nice one for a good price. I really like it. I've been trying to find a stove and a microwave that I like but I think I'm going to have to go to the store and look because I like seeing appliances in person before buying them but this fridge I think definitely has my vote.



The second option would be to get them a new washer and dryer like so. I think they kind of need one because they're had the same set for years and I know that the current set probably won't last to much longer. I wish I could afford a frigging Electrolux washer and dryer set because they're really nice and I'd like them myself, I found a nice pretty cheap set though! This LG set, it's gotten good reviews and they're energy efficient! 



Next is just getting a desktop computer. All they have is a laptop right now and with my mom being a teacher she sometimes has to fight with either my brother or my dad to try and get on to do work. I really want to get them an iMac because I know my mom would love it and she'd be able to get things done easily on it. I'd get a new desk too since they don't really have a desk at all.


When I was looking at computers I remembered that they had this really cool Xbox accessory on Jimmy Fallon the other night called the Kinect and I thought it would be cool to get my brother that to help get him off the couch when he's playing video games. So that's a definite Xmas gift to get for sure! 


Now I want your guises help with picking which I should choose to get! I like them all and wish I could get my parents everything that they need and trust me if I was a billionaire and could do so I'd build them the house of their dreams and have everything top of the line in it. I'd even get my mom her corvette... So if you would like to comment please do so down below! I never get comments and I want them! I love to hear what you have to say!

Eclipse party Ideas day 4!!!!

It's day 4 guys! Can you believe how close we are to Eclipse, only 4 more days!!! I can't wait I'm so excited and also tomorrow (Saturday) is Twilight Night(if you're in one of the participating cities) St.Louis was picked as one of those cities and when I found out I flipped! So tomorrow I am going to do my first vlog and it will be from Twilight Night! I hope I can snag some cool goodies while I'm there, they say they're going to have activities so we aren't bored the movie starts! OK now on to what I'm suppose to be blogging about which, is party decorations! For my decor I'm trying not to go overboard to much so that I don't break the bank for this one party but I do have some really cool ideas if you want to spend a little more. One thing that I really wanted to get were the cardboard cutouts of Edward, Bella, Jacob, and Alice but my parents (cuz I'm broke) wouldn't buy any of them. You can find them at several places though including allposters.com and nordstrom.comHostess with the Mostess has some pretty neat printables that can be used for different things and they're another thing that would have loved to use but unless I convince my dad to buy new ink I can't use them :( If you do print out the quotes though but don't want to buy a bunch of frames to put them an easy solution is to buy black cardboard it's kind of like poster board but thicker and can be found at most craft stores. Just buy some of that and then cut out and glue the pieces together to make you're own frames.

Stores also have their Eclipse tableware out now! I got mine at Party City but you can also by most products at Paper Factory Warehouse, Target, And iParty. Call your store ahead of time though to make sure they have what you want in stock. If you don't use the Eclipse table cover that is sold too use a black, red, or white one, I have a black one which will help draw attention to the tableware and not the table cover.







I'm going to decorate with red, black, and white crepe paper streams too and I'm going to have 4 big posters with the Quileute wolf symbol and the Cullen crest hung on the on the front porch and in the family room. I also wanted to get white slip covers to put on the couches in the family room then make black and red pillow slipcovers but again I can't do that because I don't have money so I'm going to find a way to improvise. Twinkle lights are also a must for any Twilight party! If you can recall any of Alice's parties she always has twinkle lights. If you don't already have a set or two stored away with your Christmas decorations you can get them from Amazon at a reasonable price. Candles is another thing that Alice uses at her parties and is a real easy thing to get a hold of. You don't need a ton of them but having 3 or 4 around (especially on you're main table) will add a nice touch. Alright I think I'm done with decor now and I hope some of these ideas come in handy for your next Twilight party!

Tomorrow I don't know if I'll blog. I probably will but if I don't have one done by 11pm you won't be getting anything because I have to get up really early!

Have an awesome Friday!

Eclipse party Ideas day 3

Have you liked what I've posted so far for party ideas? I hope so because it's been taking forever to write these frigging things for some reason. Anyway today I'm showing you guys party food! Now if you're like me and feel like you've been coming up short because you can't think of anything besides chips and pizza don't worry! I have a lot of good food and drink ideas for you. 

Drinks I'm using: Venom,Monster, XXX Vitamin Water(look for this flavor with the eclipse labels!)

I'll also have soda and water available for my guests.

Food: I am going to have pizza at my party because it's an easy "dinner" food to get. I'm also going to be looking for red tortilla chips to keep with the black/red/white color theme. It's good to get a bunch of different candy so that you can spruce up your table and you can throw some in a ziplock and take it to the movies with you. Walmart has recently started selling small tubs of single colored M&M's (they are 4 bucks a pop though) which do come in red, white, and black! Brownies and cookies are always a favorite I think so be sure to have one or the other! Puppy chow is a good treat to make too. Also those cupcakes down there, those are real cute, I've got almost everything I need to make those for my party and I'm going to use red velvet and chocolate cake mix for them with white icing. 


Ok I think that's all the food ideas I have for now. Sorry for using so many pictures I just like using as many as I can haha. Tomorrow we'll discuss decor if that's alright with you guys. 


Love, Sassysam

Eclipse party Ideas day 2

Hey guys it's day 2 of Eclipse party ideas!
So yesterday I gave you that song game and today I'm gonna give you my goodie bag ideas! For the actual bags I bought several Twilight canvas bags from Walmart like these. Now I've decided to not give them any of the goodies when they get the bag because I'm going to put together a scavenger hunt with each stop having a goodie for everyone to take. 

I only got a few things to stock the bags with including these stickers and magnets




I also have a Bree Tanner bookmark and lanyard for each of my guests and New Moon pens and buttons. I(I got the New Moon because there was nothing Eclipse out yet and the New Moon stuff was way cheap) I have rings to for everybody.(Cuz edward gives Bella his mothers wedding ring in Eclipse)

I'm going to make candy bags like these too and have them save them for the movie.


I'm thinking also to put moon pies in the mix just because I love them.



They should be getting the Sky Bar's along with some other candy. I think everyone is gonna be on a sugar high.

Things that I wanted to add to my bags but aren't going to:

Mini first aid kits
plastic fangs
Eclipse booksmarks
keychains


Where I stole the Candy blood bag idea:

Any actual eclipse products can be found at Party City, iparty, Target, and other party supplies stores.

That's it for now! Please leave comments or questions below!

Love, Sammy

Eclipse party ideas

Most of you guys know that I've been planning a Eclipse movie party for the past couple weeks now and I just keep saying how great I think my party ideas are and I've been thinking that I need to share them with you guys because it's not nice to be selfish, right? So I'm gonna share one or two ideas with you guys until like Sunday or Monday or whenever I run out of ideas. And please if you have comments for me I'd love to hear what you have to say!

Alright first idea that I think you guys are really gonna like! At least I hope you will.
I'm sorry the PDF file thing has like 3 steps to get the document but that's the only way I could get it to you guys. And I know you're gonna wanna know what stupid document I'm leading you too so I'll tell you. I typed up a list of all the songs on the Eclipse soundtrack and I'm gonna let all my guests listen the each song then try and determine which scene each song will be played in. Is that a good idea? I thought so.

Here's the link! Guess_where_each_song_will_be_played_in_Eclipse.zip

And a note to those who are getting an Eclipse package from me I'm sending you all copies of this file just so you know.

Ok now go comment, rate whatever you can do!

LOTS OF LOVE!
SASSYSAM

Mini blog!

OK so Blogger came out with new templates not to long ago and I haven't been on to change mine but I looked through them just now and found 3 that I really like and I want you to help me choose which one I should use. So if you go the side bar I there's a poll where you can vote! I think you can vote as many times as you want if you really want me to have a certain template. 

Template #1

Template #2

Template #3
