Noah's Ark Baby Shower
Ideas For A Noah's Ark Baby Shower
One of the most popular choices for showers, a Noah's Ark baby shower is both fun to plan and attend! If Mom is expecting a bouncing baby boy she plans to name Noah, if she is an animal lover, or if she is planning to decorate the nursery in an ark theme, the choice of this shower theme is a no brainer. If Mom is expecting twins, the Noah's Ark two by two concept works great as well!
In this post, I give you ideas for the invitations, baby shower food, decorations, gifts and even baby shower party favors for your guests.
Throw the best Noah's Ark baby shower ever by following some of these tips! Your guests will be talking about how much fun they had for months to come.
Noah's Ark Themed Invitations
For the invitations, you have several options and your choice will most likely be influenced by your budget and time schedule. If you are throwing an upscale shower and you are running a bit short on time, the best option will likely be fully customized invitations that have an ark theme such as the Noah's ark baby shower invitations shown in the photograph. This type of invite can be customized with all of the shower details and will arrive at your doorstep ready for mailing.
The second more affordable option are the fill-in type invites that feature a Noah's Ark design on the outside and then blank lines on the inside where you must hand-write all the shower details such as the time, date, location, RSVP information, etc. While these invitations are more affordable, the process is much more time consuming as you must write the details inside each and every invite... this can take a long time for large showers.
Finally, if you are crafty and have some time on your hands, creating your very own one-of-a-kind baby shower invitations is a great option. You can create them on the computer using a program like MS publisher with clip art to achieve the desired Noah's ark theme.
Alternatively, you can use construction paper or brown paper bags along with your creativity to make ark-shaped invitations with all the shower details. In either case, you can look around online for a clever verse to put on the invites. For twins, consider something like:
"All creatures large and small came two by two and so are [mommy-to-be's name]'s little two! Please join us for a twins baby shower!"
Noah's Ark Tableware & Decor
Many online shops and party supply stores sell Noah's Ark themed shower supplies. However you can also create many decorations on your own that tie in perfectly with this baby shower theme. For instance, gather up all the stuffed animals in your home (and ask your friends for their animals too) and then place them all around the shower area in pairs (remember the two by two concept especially if the shower is for twins). You can also use pairs of animal balloons and pairs of cardboard animal cut-outs that you either buy or make yourself all around the room and on the walls.
Buy additional latex balloons and streamers that tie in with the color scheme of the party. I suggest that you buy at least a few of the many Noah's ark themed tableware supplies such as plates and/or napkins and then use those items as inspiration for the party color scheme. The Noah's Ark baby shower tableware shown in the photograph is available on our website!
I found instructions for creating some adorable animal-balloons with faces made of tissue paper at MarthaStewart.com. They would be perfect for a Noah's Ark themed shower.
For table centerpieces, how about cutting out cardboard and forming it to create a boat/ark shape? You can fill it with snacks and/or small toy animals (in sets of two of course). Another centerpiece option is a Noah's Ark themed diaper cake that is constructed mostly of size 1 brand name diapers... what Mom wouldn't love getting diapers as a gift?? The great thing about diaper cakes is that they do double-duty as the shower gift and centerpiece.
Noah's Ark Food Ideas
Use these creative food and dessert ideas to tie in the Noah's Ark theme! No shower is complete without a bowl of punch for guests to drink. Rainbow colors are the perfect choice so why not try this Rainbow Punch recipe.
Rainbow Punch Recipe
- 1/2 gallon rainbow sherbet
- 2 liter bottle of Sprite, ginger ale or 7-up
- 2 cups pineapple juice
Chill juice and soda prior to mixing. In a large punch bowl, mix together the juice and soda, then add sherbet in one large block just before the party starts. Makes 25 servings. Don't forget to float a plastic boat in the punch bowl too!

Use animal-shaped baby cookie cutters to cut sandwiches, cheese slices, pizza and jello jigglers into various animal shapes. Don't forget to put bowls of animal crackers on the side tables as well as the buffet table for guests to snack on throughout the party.
Another great idea from creative baby shower ideas is to create an 'ark' out of a watermelon and then fill it with cut-up fruit. Be sure to add some plastic toy animals around the ark for a fun presentation. What a creative centerpiece on your buffet table!!
Having a Noah's Ark themed cake like the one shown in the photo to the right or the one shown in the photo below constructed using a Wilton Cake pan are both excellent ways to tie the theme in with the dessert. Another fantastic option is to create an array of cupcakes in various animal designs and place them on a platter or in a large cardboard constructed ark for display at the party. Remember to make 2 cupcakes in every animal design as shown in the photo below. Some excellent animal cupcake choices are lions, elephants, monkeys, panda bears, hippos, frogs, ducks, tigers, zebras, etc. Making all these cupcakes can be a lot of work, but they sure look great at Noah's Ark baby showers!

Baby Shower Game Ideas
Here are just a few of my favorite Baby Shower Game Ideas...
Animal Babies Game - You can either buy this game online by clicking here or you can create your own version on a computer. I recommend that you buy some Noah's Ark themed paper to print the game or create the game in a program like Microsoft Publisher so that you can add animal and Noah's Ark clip art around the game. Basically, you list animals with blank lines next to them where guests must fill in what the baby of that particular animal is called. The guest that fills in the most correct answers in a timed 3 minute period wins the prize. For example, a baby lion is called a cub. Here are some animals along with the baby names:
Alligator ~ hatchling
Bear ~ cub
Beaver ~ kitten or pup
Cat ~ kitten
Cow ~ calf
Coyote ~ pup or whelp
Deer ~ fawn
Dog ~ puppy
Donkey ~ foal
Duck ~ duckling
Eagle ~ eaglet
Eel ~ elver
Elephant ~ calf
Fish ~ fry
Fox ~ kit, cub or pup
Frog ~ tadpole, polliwog
Giraffe ~ calf
Goat ~ kid
Goose ~ gosling
Horse ~ colt
Hummingbird ~ chick
Kangaroo ~ joey
Lion ~ cub
Llama ~ cria
Monkey ~ infant
Owl ~ owlet
Panda ~ cub
Penguin ~ chick
Pig ~ piglet, shoat, farrow
Platypus ~ puggle
Racoon ~ cub
Sheep ~ lamb
Skunk ~ kit
Spider ~ spiderlet
Swan ~ cygnet
Turkey ~ poult
Turtle ~ hatchling
Whale ~ calf
Animal Charades or Pictionary - Use the above animal list and write them on small index cards. Break the guests into teams of 3 or 4 people and have each group taking turns acting out or drawing the animal name on the index card (one player from the team acts/draws and the rest of the team guesses). Time each round for 1 minute. If no one from the team guesses the correct answer, the other teams can steal by yelling out the correct answer. Play as many rounds as you like. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins.
Two by Two Icebreaker Game - This game provides a great way to get your guests talking to one another and mingling. There is nothing worse at showers then friends, family and in-laws that just sit in their own little groups with no one talking to each other. You will need to buy or use pairs of animals to give guests so make sure that you have as many animals as you do guests prior to the shower. As guests arrive at the shower, hand them each an animal telling them that they need to find their animal pair and that they need to find out everything they can about the person. Give them about 5 minutes to mingle and find their pairs. Then ask guests to introduce their partner (and tell what they learned about them) to the rest of the guests. Don't forget to have a personalized baby shower banner at the door to welcome your guests as well!
How Big is Mom's Ark? - A twist on the classic how big is mommy's tummy game. Have some yarn, toilet paper or string on hand and ask each guest to cut/tear off as much as they think it will take to wrap around mommy's mid-section. Then have each guest use their measuring device. The guest that is closest to mommy's tummy/ark size wins the prize.
Noah's Ark Baby Shower Favors
Matching favor ideas for you shower
Since Noah's Ark themed showers are so popular, you can find many online companies that sell favors that fit the theme perfectly. As shown in the photograph above, personalized candy bar wrappers, Noah's ark personalized baby shower mint tins and containers of lip balm can be customized with things like the mom-to-be's name and the shower date. Since these favors are personalized, they add an extra special touch to your party favors. You can also find things like animal-shaped soaps and Noah's ark shaped baby shower candles that come in little gift boxes so that you can hand them to guests. Buying favors is an excellent option when you are short on time and want elegant favors with a custom touch.
Some great do-it-yourself ideas are animal shaped notepads with matching pencils, animal shaped chocolates that you either buy or make yourself using candy molds, animal-shaped key chain favors, boxes of animal crackers where you tie a ribbon and matching personalized hang tag, or small beanie baby animals.
You could also place things like mini animal-shaped soaps, candles, or gummy bears in clear cellophane bags or small baby bottles to give your guests as favors.
Noah's Ark Baby Shower Gifts
Give the new Mom a matching theme Baby Gift
There are so many baby shower gift options for a Noah's Ark themed shower... especially if Mom plans to decorate the nursery with that same theme. You can find many companies that sell just about anything you can think of for a nursery in a Noah's Ark theme including the bedding set, lamps, wall art, rugs and more.
Even if Mom isn't necessarily doing a Noah's Ark nursery, you can still find gifts that tie in perfectly with the shower theme such as those shown in the above photograph. Baby Einstein Baby Shower has an entire line of products centered around the Noah theme such as Baby Noah World Animals board book and the Touch and Feel Discovery Cards. Plush Noah's Ark animal gift sets that are appropriate for babies are also available. And what Mom wouldn't love an ark-shaped photo frame where she can proudly display a photo of her twin babies!
Finally, consider stuffed animals as gifts for the shower. Just make sure that they are made for children so that they have been inspected for choking hazards. And if Mom has two little ones on the way, buy two of each animal and your gift is sure to be a hit at the twins baby shower!
Fourth of July Party Ideas
Summer Time, Party Time!
It's hot out, you're feeling festive; what could be more fun than throwing a July 4th party?
It's summer, everyone's in a party mood and usually, there's time off from work for people to relax a little longer and enjoy themselves. Make your party the best ever with these exceptionally festive Fourth of July party ideas.

Party Colors
Go Crazy
Choose a color scheme for all your decor and food. The logical choice is red, white, and blue for the celebration of America's flag, but you're not limited to this palate. Go with just red or just baby blue if you like. You can even go purple, yellow, and green to emulate fireworks. Go wild and make it festive, most likely everyone will wear some sort of red, white and blue anyways!
Food Ideas
Keep it Simple
Next, select your menu based on foods that are easy and fun to eat. Remember, it's going to be July, so you don't want to serve foods that may spoil easily like mayo based salads. Try to stick with foods that you can bring out and that will be gobbled up so they don't sit.
Secondly, don't forget the desserts! People have some serious sweet tooth cravings in the summer, so be sure to cater to that! Some tasty Independence Day cookies look great on a table, and taste great too! Or if you want more simple treats, try Rice Krispy Bars, Brownies or a Rhubarb Cake. They will all certainly be enjoyed!
Affordable Fourth of July Foods
Clam Bake
Yum it up!
One fantastic way to encourage guests to interact and have a great time is to have a clam bake. You can order clam bakes from local grocery stores. Often, the fish department will put them together for you. You can also order them online from companies who specialize in this sort of party food. Tell them how many people you anticipate and they'll send you the food packed in a cooler of dry ice. You cook it when it arrives.
Image by arnold | inuyaki on Flickr
Items in a standard clam bake include lobsters, crab, clams, corn on the cob, and potatoes. Other items like sausage are often included. You can easily put together your own clam bake and spare some expense. You'll just need a way to cook the foods. This can be done in metal pails or cans (be sure they're clean and fire safe) that you find at the hardware store. Or you can do a crab and fish boil in a pot on an open flame or outdoor gas grill. Cook the corn on the cob and potatoes on the grill as well.
Purchase extra food baskets for guests to bring home leftovers. It'll be the gift that keeps giving!
Fourth of July Partyware
Keep it festive!
Make your whole party festive by offering a casual yet festive atmosphere. Tie up plastic cutlery in red and white checkered cloth napkins and place them all in a cheap gift basket, there's no need to get something expensive. Any old basket will do! Guests can grab their own utensils all at once, and they will have a sturdy napkin for their laps as well! It's a great plan for an outdoor setting.
Be Glass-Free
Keep drinks flowing by offering a cooler full of sodas, water, beer, and wine. Use cheerful plastic wine goblets that you can buy at the dollar store. That way there's no glass that can accidentally break or that you have to wash. And if you anticipate children, be sure to have a little cooler with juice boxes as well. They will think it's so cool that they get their own cooler of goodies.
Stick With Basics
Easy & Fun
The simpler you keep your party, the more fun everyone-including you-will have. Keep bug spray and citronella candles on hand so tiny pests don't ruin the outdoor fun. If you have a beach location, great. But if you don't, you can still put hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill and have a great time. Make it a 1950s theme and have all retro decor from plastic plates to napkins and tablecloths. You can find everything you need online.

Have a ball this July 4th. It's one holiday that celebrates the summer which flies by all too fast. Take lots of photos so you can remember your awesome party next year when you go to plan the festivities. And don't forget to send guests off with a little Fourth of July gift or festive party favors. They'll remember your party for years to come!

Sweet 16 Party Game Ideas
Give It Personality
Depending on your daughter's personality, you'll want to include games that suit her and her friends for her Sweet 16. You need not go overboard, as your decorations, food, and their friendships will make the party a success, but it's fun to include games and give out prizes. The prizes can be as simple as a dollar store trinket or as elaborate as a cd, dvd or gift card.

Act Out
You can always include a game of charades where girls have to act things out for prizes. Make it more personal by writing up a set of cards with the actions that include favorites of the birthday girl.
You might make someone act like a pampered Chihuahua if your daughter loves them or have them mimic your daughter's favorite singer or movie. Make the prizes fun like small gift baskets or gift certificates to stores the kids like or inexpensive earrings or bracelets.
Ring of Fire - Game of Balance
Board Games
Play Nice
You've probably saved some of your daughter's favorite board games from when she was younger. Set up card tables with a few easy-to-play games and have girls rotate who plays where.
Image by Greencolander on Flickr
Set a timer and make it more exciting. When the timer goes off, the girls switch and have to take on the seat to their left. Include games that are meant for younger children.
The girls will get a kick out of it and it will bring back good memories for your birthday girl. Don't forget to find some fun sweet 16 party favors to hand out to the winners!
Some games to consider include: Chutes and Ladders, Scrabble, Sorry, Monopoly, Life, Girl Talk, Blokus, Rummy and more. Ask your daughter beforehand if she has any favorite board games that she'd prefer to play that night. Odds are, she still has a favorite that she'd love to have an excuse to play with her friends.
Scavenger Hunt
Find Glam
Add flair to the game of scavenging. Instead of having girls just go out with a list of objects to find, create something that matches your theme. If you're having a princess theme, create a page from a storybook written with old English type. Hide objects that have a princess feel-bracelets, tiaras, fake oversized diamond rings-and let the girls keep what they find. You can adjust this for any theme or types of personalized favors that you want.
Personal Trivia
Question & Answer
Before the party, ask your daughter's friends to come up with trivia questions about her. You can suggest that they write them down on index cards and bring them to the party.
They can ask her about favorite movies, kids at school, brands of clothing, favorite song or music, favorite foods, favorite mall or store, etc. For the girl who gets the most right, offer a fun prize such as a themed gift basket based on the question asked.
Another Game on Video
Pop the Balloon
Find the Prize
There are so many things you can hide inside a balloon for a fun surprise. Place pieces of paper inside before you blow up the balloons that include numbers or clues to a game. Have the girls pop them to discover the clue to a mystery or something you've hidden around the house. Have numbers correspond to wrapped sweet 16 party favors you've prepared on a gift table. Or include little trinkets inside the balloons for girls to discover.
Place the balloons in a container that matches your theme. For a princess theme, you could have them all arranged in a decorated carriage made out of cardboard or for an undersea theme, you could have the balloons in a small boat.
Dance Contest
Dance, Dance, Revolution
Girls love to dance, so why not make a contest of it? See who can dance the longest without stopping. Add some bling to the action by giving them light-up glow sticks or bracelets and turn on a disco ball. Of course, you'll want to give out a prize to the winner. A gift card for music downloads is a great idea.
Runway Style
Walk It Out
Gather from friends or a thrift store as many shiny baubles and jewelry, shoes, dresses, hats and scarves as you can find. The wackier the better.
Goodwill is a nice source for old prom gowns and other fun castoffs. Hang them on hangers and put the smaller items in baskets. Include some inexpensive makeup and brushes, rollers or curling irons. Let the girls go wild dressing up.
Image by facemepls on Flickr
Then, when they're all prettied up, you can stage a fashion show where you take pictures for them to remember the event. Give lessons on walking a catwalk, applying makeup, or accessorizing. The girls will love the attention. You might even want to videotape the event and email each girl a copy to keep.
Owl Baby Shower Ideas
Host An Amazing Owl Themed Baby Shower!
Naturally themed baby showers are becoming increasingly popular, and one of the most popular new ideas is to incorporate owls into the theme. Whether Mom-to-be loves owls or you're just looking for the perfect way to do something a bit different, an owl baby shower is the way to go.
Keep in mind that in many cases, word play will be the name of the game. From banners reading "Baby Whoooo?" to invitations that use an owl's signature call, many of your cutest decorations and accents will probably incorporate at least a little word play. Here are a few ideas that will help you cover every aspect of the upcoming shower.
Owl Baby Shower Invitations
There are so many cute ideas for invitation designs with an owl theme. An invitation in the shape of a hoot owl would be adorable. Just place your text below the owl's large eyes for maximum effect.
You could also create one in the shape of a large tree with the text on the tree's trunk and an owl or two in the branches of the actual tree. You may even want to create one in the shape of a nest with a mommy and baby owl inside. This is a great gender-neutral theme, or you can make the baby owl pink or blue to reveal the gender to your guests!
If Mommy is expecting multiples, feel free to put more than one baby owl on the branch next to Mom. . You may want to incorporate some of the word play in the invitation's text. Things like "You'll never believe Hoooo's coming soon" or "Guess Whoooo's Expecting," will all fit nicely with an owl baby shower theme.
A quick and easy invitation option is to buy your invites online. Many online retailers sell either fully customized invites with all of the shower information printed on the theme or invitation you choose or fill-in invitations where you simply add all the details prior to sending them to guests. The fill-in baby shower invitations shown in the photograph to the right are available from All About Gifts & Baskets.
Owl Baby Shower Tableware & Decorations
There are so many fun ways to decorate for this theme. As you did with the invitations, you may want to stick with the natural colors or colors that match your tableware pattern for the decorations. In fact, you may want to stay as natural as possible, incorporating some of your cartoon owl images where you can.
One great decorative idea is to use tree branches, instead of flowers, as your table centerpiece. Place them in a vase, just as you would fresh flowers, and you've achieved a perfect owl home inside. You could also create a paper tree on the wall, then hang your name tags from the branches. As each guest comes in, she can sign the guestbook, then grab her name tag from the tree. This would be extra cute if you cut the name tags in the shape of leaves.
Another idea is to make a nest of streamers in the right colors, then place an owl mylar balloon in the middle. If you want to get really creative, find a smaller owl mylar balloon to place next to it so Mommy and baby can sit in your "nest" together. You could also make a mobile in the shape of a tree. Owl cutouts can sit right on the branches.
For the tableware, you may want to stick with the colors you established in the invitation. Various shades of brown with a hint of pink or blue will look nice, as will darker shades of ivory. There are lots of cute owl decorations and cheap baby shower tableware options available from various online outlets too. From banners and hanging cutouts to great tablecloths and even plates and cups, many of these options will only serve to enhance your theme.

Owl Party Food Ideas
Creative food ideas for this theme are all around you. Instead of a traditional cake design, create a cake in the shape of a tree. Place your owls on the branches. You could also create a cupcake cake, or a cake made from many different cupcakes with one solid design. The tree theme fits really well with this type of cake, but you could also make it into the shape of an owl. You'll probably also be serving snacks, and one perfect snack is owl shaped cake pops. These creatively designed items are simply cake and icing mixed together, then formed into the shape of an owl. You could also bake and make decorated sugar cookies into the shape of an owl.
Photo from Hungry Happenings
Another creative snack idea is owl cupcakes. Start with a chocolate cupcake, then use half an Oreo for the eyes. Place the cream side up. Add a Junior Mint to the center for the pupil. You could even use a Runts banana for the nose. Then just add some icing to the top for ears and feathers, and you have the perfect owl cupcake. See the Youtube video below for step-by-step instructions for creating some cute owl cupcakes.
Consider making haystack no bake cookies, too. They look like tiny nests, and you could put little fondant owls inside. To make them, melt butterscotch chips in a double boiler. Add two cups of chow mein noodles, and stir gently. Remove from heat, and drop by spoonful onto wax paper, arranging then into a nest shape as you go. Let them cool until they're set.
Owl Baby Shower Cake Ideas
How To Make Owl Cupcakes - Easy & Adorable!!
Baby Shower Game Ideas
Legend has it that owls are very wise, and playing off that theme during your games is a great way to make sure everyone is having fun. Consider having each person write down a bit of advice for the mother-to-be as they come through the door. As an ice-breaker, these tidbits could be read aloud.
Another fun game to play is "Guess Whoooo's the Baby." Have each guest bring a picture of herself as a baby. Number them, then post them for everyone can see. Have your guests try to figure out which picture belongs with which guest.
You could also play "Who Are You?" Blindfold the guest of honor, then have another guest say "Who." See if Mommy-to-be can guess who is speaking. Then blindfold that guest and see if they can guess "who" the caller is.
Finally, you can find owl-themed printable baby shower games online. Simply buy, click and play.
Owl Baby Shower Favors
There are some clever baby shower favor ideas that you can have your guests to take home with them. Consider creating an owl face on the front of a Mason jar. Felt eyes and a nose along with some feathers at the top should do it. Fill the jar with treats like chocolate covered pretzels, peanuts, or even brown M & M's. Clear baby bottles would work just as well.
Another option is to offer a natural treat to take home like homemade granola. Give guests a small bag to fill from the flavor options on the table, then they can select what they like best. Just be sure to give the bag a design that works well with your theme.
Owl Baby Shower Gifts
Tie the owl theme into the unique baby shower gifts with some of these fun ideas. Consider giving books. It could help them become as wise as that old owl. There are even many great children's stories that incorporate an owl, including Owl Babies by Martin Waddell and The Sleepy Owl by Martin Pfister. A stuffed owl makes a great gift, and there are many handcrafted custom choices available at sites like eBay and Etsy.
Another beautiful choice would be a newborn cap that looks like an owl. With large eyes and ears at the top, the new baby will look every inch the theme you worked so hard to create. We even sell little baby owl outfits and personalized baby blankets like the ones shown above.
4th of July Party Food Ideas
Getting Festive With It
If you're searching for a fun party food to bring as a Fourth of July gift, be a great guest and show up with something delicious. Here are some ideas on what you can bring that will look festive and be gobbled up by happy party goers.
Think fresh and sun-friendly. Since Fourth of July parties usually end up outside under the hot July sun, make sure your dish is not based in mayo or any other ingredient that could spoil easily. You want to bring something that will be fresh and won't wilt or melt before it's served. Show up with your dish in a pretty bowl with ice under it if it's perishable. At least that way you can stretch the life of it on the table.
Red, White & Blue
Fruit Salad
Why not consider bringing a red, white, and blue fruit salad to the party? You can mix in some strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and of course some whipped cream for the white part.
Other red, white, or blue foods you can think of will also work for other types of savory or sweet "salads." A red Jell-O salad is always a good idea. Mix in blueberries or strawberries and whipped cream or yogurt for a thicker texture much like a parfait might be.
Fourth of July Dessert - Frozen Lime Cheesecake
Independence Day Cupcakes
Red, White & Blue
If you want to go the cupcake route, which is never a bad idea, try going with chocolate-cherry cupcakes! They are simple and easy. You'll already have the red with the cherry, and the white with the frosting, so you'll need to add in some sort of blue.
Add in some blueberries on the top or use blue cupcake liners to get the full red, white, and blue effect. If all else fails, make Fourth of July cookies or sugar cookies with white frosting, and blueberry and strawberry bits on top.

It's an old story that the IRS combats everyday: When a business struggles and cash flow is tight, when there is not enough money to pay both rent and employment taxes, the IRS takes a back seat, and the business uses employee withholding taxes to keep the lights on.
The result is that the IRS is made an unwilling lender to fund operations. Your hope is that the tide will turn and the IRS can be repaid before they come calling. Your business is your baby, but this is can be a dangerous bet, and as we will see, it is especially dangerous in employment tax cases.
Liability for employment taxes does not just stay with the business; rather, the IRS spreads it to you, too – the business owners, officers, and even employees – anyone who had decision-making power over the company's finances can be personally liable for a part of the unpaid taxes. This is called a trust fund recovery penalty investigation.
Simply put, unpaid employment withholding taxes are a cancer.
As the IRS casts a wide net to collect employment taxes, a three-tiered defense is usually required: to the initial collection of the employment taxes from the business (Tier-1); to the ensuing trust fund recovery penalty investigation into who in the company made the decisions not to pay the IRS (Tier-2); and to the eventual collection of the trust fund taxes from those in the business who were responsible for the decisions not to pay the IRS (Tier-3).
The best employment tax defense will recognize each step the IRS will pursue in advance, will see what is coming, and will prepare for it. With that background, here is the IRS's step-by-step game plan in a civil employment tax investigation.
The IRS considers employment tax liabilities to be a serious matter, and as a result, will assign an employment tax case to its highest level collection personnel, a Revenue Officer.
Chances are, the first move the Revenue Officer will make is to have an unannounced visit your business. Expect the Revenue Officer to drop off her business card, along with (1) ) Form 9297, Summary of Taxpayer Contact and (2) Letter 1058, Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing.
The Revenue Officer's initial knock on the door is to collect the employment taxes from your business. That will soon change.
You do not know it yet, but the Revenue Officer does not intend to just investigate collection of the employment taxes from your business. The Revenue Officer will also be launching an investigation into the operations of the business. The investigation will be focused on control over company finances: Who had the decision-making authority that resulted in the employee withholding taxes not being paid to the government? That could be you, that could be your CEO, a co-owner, or your spouse.
This is called a trust fund recovery penalty investigation. It permits the IRS to collect part of the unpaid employment taxes personally from the individuals who were in control of the business and were able to make financial decisions to not pay the IRS.

I think my childhood was spent in most of these black 'n white oil paintings… especially that last one… that TV? The armchair? That could literally be my grandparents living room circa 1979. This is the work of Nashville based artist Kelly S. Williams. Her portfolio is filled with lovely things, in fact, I almost did this post about her latest series, paintings of plants and terrariums, but the nostalgia of these monochrome rooms grabbed me and would not let go. Ah, memories.
Here we are! All of the images that go hand in hand with my very first attempt at being a "podcaster"! The first episode is an interview with one of my favorite artists, Philadelphia based Martha Rich. We talked about all sorts of things, including all of the pieces shown here. Out of context they probably won't make much sense, but hopefully you're listening to the podcast right this very second {hint hint – it's right up there, or you can subscribe right here}, so you'll understand why all of these things are posted. Oh, and if you really want to make your weekend interesting, I propose taking a shot of something every time I say "That is AMAZING!" … time to get a thesaurus, Danielle. Geesh.
Anyway, I hope you love listening to ART FOR YOUR EAR as much as I love making it! ps. I know it's a bit echoey… perhaps I shouldn't have recorded it from an empty cave!? Maybe I need blankets for my walls? Cover my office in egg cartons? I dunno. Bare with me, I'll figure it out!
More images from today's episode /// Speech Bubbles, now & then:
Pin-up girl & Cindy Sherman's purchase:
All men like long hair:
… and, the boobs "that are still in Mexico."
And that's a wrap! Thanks so much to Martha for taking the time to do this with me… also a huge thank you to Greg for being an amazing producer/podcast expert, and to my brother Cameron for writing, and playing, original music for me! And finally, thanks to you for listening!!! xo The next episode will be up
in two weeks, Saturday June 6th this Saturday, May 30th … this is too fun… I'm going to do one every Saturday!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend… especially when she can hang them on her wall! These beauties are the work of Cape Town based painter Kurt Pio. Oh, how I'd love a few of these sparkly {although not actually sparkly at all} faceted gems for my collection. Gorgeous.
{Thanks to Ricardo for sending me a link to Kurt's work.}
Tel-Aviv based artist Hagar Cygler started this on-going embroidery series, titled 'Families', in 2008 and is still going strong. She lays layers of silhouettes from family photos {hers, friends, found} on top of each other, and then embroiders them onto canvas. I love the overlapping, but I can't decide if it feels like 1. a special, entangled bond of closeness, or 2. a forced together, over-involved, all over each other's lives, situation. Hm. Depends on the day, I suppose.
Oh my word, I launched a podcast… what!? YES! Why? Well, mainly because I like poking around in other people's lives.
Ok, so I've been quietly writing about artists that I love for over six years. Sometimes I email them to ask questions about their work, but I just get straight to the point… little do they know that I actually have a million questions for them, not all of which are art related! When I studied art history in school I loved learning about the work, but what totally sucked me in were the behind-the-scenes stories… a peek into the real lives of these art history icons. And so I thought, why wait for my favorite contemporary artists to end up in text books? I'm just going to pry into their lives right now! I want to know why they do what they do, how they do it, and, if they happen to have any hilarious stories for me along the way, well, I'll happily take 'em. The episodes won't be longer than 30 minutes because I know you're busy. I'm going to keep things short, light, and fun… slightly different than those art history lectures some of you might remember.
I hope you love ART FOR YOUR EAR, because I think I've found my new obsession! You can pop over to iTunes and subscribe right this very second if you like, then you'll be totally ready when the first episode is released this coming Saturday. Eep!
* I didn't really get hooked into the world of podcasts until Serial came into my life… you too? In case you need a bit of technical help in this area {I certainly did}, here is an FAQ link from Apple that gives you the ins and outs of subscribing to podcasts. Oh, and if it sounds a bit echoey for the first episodes, forgive me as I slowly figure this out!
Oh. My. Have you seen this yet? I just stumbled across, The Flower House, a stunning project by Detroit based flower designer Lisa Waud. Here's the deal – she bought two totally run-down, abandoned houses in Detroit for $500, and then filled the first one with thousands of flowers bringing new, colorful life into this forgotten home if only for a moment. The photos are stunning, but this video {created for her indiegogo campaign to help fill the second house this coming October, then responsibly tear these structures down, and turn the cleared land into a flower farm!} gave me goosebumps. So nostalgic, inspiring, beautiful…

This is the lovely work of Brooklyn based artist, and devoted bike lover, Taliah Lempert. Paintings, screenprints, paper-cut pieces all beautifully expressing her love for the bicycle. I found several bits of writing on her site, all of which sounded like bike poetry to me! Here are two of my favorite snippets:
"I paint bikes that are part of someone's life, or have been, or are intended to be. The bike they ride around, race, present themselves with. The right bike for the right situation. It's worn when ridden, locked, or crashed. It's grimy, sometimes cleaned, sometimes not. How they chose it, how they use it and how they care for it. How each bike looks develops because of a person. And says a lot."
"… I love moving through the neighborhoods, the sites and people on my way. I am as fast, often faster, than any other way around town & always more fun. It's wonderful riding down Broadway, through Times Square and Herald square. Watching the city lights as I roll over the bridge into Brooklyn."
Sigh. Who wants to go for a bike ride? Yep, me too.
Whoa. Beautiful shards of ceramics transformed into colorful, striking {and I assume kinda sharp} blooms. Ah-mazing. This is the stunning work of Israeli artist Zemer Peled, and if you happen to be in Culver City, CA before June 13th you can see her work in an exhibition titled "In Bloom", at the Mark Moore Gallery {She's in good company… there are a few of Warhol's flowers in this show as well.}
{via Colossal}
Oh, thank goodness… she's still at it! I wrote about Australian artist Tanya Schultz, aka Pip & Pop, waaaay back in 2010, so I was thrilled to see that she's still creating her magical, sugary, glittery, rainbow-filled worlds! I would love to spend an afternoon in the middle of this insane dream. So many colors. So many special details… pastel sugar lakes, shiny little beads, weird plastic flowers, and that pink polka-dot horse. Yep, I'm gonna need that pink polka-dot horse.
Yep, it's my birthday. A perfect excuse to show a few delicious paintings by New Zealand born, UK based artist Joël Penkman. It's also a great excuse to play hooky for the day… I'm off to give #creativeUNblock no.5 a shot! See you tomorrow!

Welcome !
Welcome to the Maine Folque Co-Op website. Our mission at the Maine Folque Co-op is to honor Maine's cultural heritage by bringing the generations together through traditional music and dance.
We've undertaken a variety of projects toward this end over the past several years. The photo above is from a 2012 community residency by Quebecois folk artists which served to spotlight and celebrate Lewiston's French-Canadian roots. More recently, we hosted a group of gifted teen fiddlers from NY in a series of performances for local schoolchildren and senior citizens. And in the interim, we have established our own music program which provides an opportunity for fledgling Maine folk fiddlers to develop and share their talents within the nurturing context of a crew of veteran folk musicians from the area. We look forward to exploring many other ethnic music and dance traditions in the coming months and years, while continuing to support and encourage Maine's own "indigenous" folk dancing - New England contra dancing - and the music that inspires it. Please feel free to explore our website, including our sample Video Clips and Links to media coverage to see some of what we've been up to, and drop us a line if you have questions, would like to offer feedback or have ideas for future activities.
Coming Attraction:
The Maine Folque Co-op has recruited a merry band of minstrels to play a program of traditional French music as part of a festive St. Jean Baptiste Day celebration happening Wednesday, June 24, in Lewiston-Auburn.
Saint Jean Baptiste Day is the feast day of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of Quebec, and as such it is celebrated as a major holiday in that province and also holds significance among Maine's Franco Americans.
The music-making will take place between 3:30 and 5 p.m. at "Place St. Louis," a beautiful former church located at 80 Third Street in Auburn.
Among the musicians performing for the occasion will be (pictured left to right in the accompanying photo) bass player Abram Collette from Lewiston, fiddler Josh White from Auburn, guitarist John Cote and mandolin/banjo player Don Cunningham, both from Lewiston, and fiddler Mona Theriault from Turner – all of whom are of French heritage.
Their repertoire includes a variety of jigs, reels, waltzes and polkas, many of which were brought down to Maine by fiddle-playing farmers who emigrated from Quebec many generations ago. Also on the program will be tunes which have sprung more recently from their Franco-American descendants in this area.
The predecessor to "Place St. Louis," St. Louis Church was attended by legions of French Catholics in the New Auburn neighborhood before being closed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maine in 2013. To save it from being torn down, the structure was purchased last year by a group of concerned citizens dedicated to seeing the 100-year-old structure brought back to life as a cultural center.
In addition to the music, the June 24 program there will include tours of the building and other activities as yet to be announced, all available to the public free of charge. Attendees are encourage to bring folding chairs for seating. More information is available by contacting Cindy at 782-0386.
The Saint Jean Baptiste Day festivities will kick off at 11 a.m. across the river at Lewiston's Franco Center, where a luncheon, lecture and other activities are planned. FMI: www.francocenter.org/events/
The Folque Co-op's Music Program
In early 2013, the Folque Co-op established a community folk orchestra based in Lewiston-Auburn. This affable multi-generational ensemble – which numbered over a dozen musicians ranging in age from pre-teens to, shall we say, ageless – was spawned under the enthusiastic direction of Doug Protsik, a seasoned musician equally adept on fiddle, piano and accordion. He worked with the members of the folk orchestra to build a repertoire of music which reflects Maine's cultural heritage in particular, from jigs-&-reels to two-steps to waltzes and more. You'll find some examples of this music here on our website, starting with our homepage "theme" music (the reel "Maple Sugar," one of Maine fiddler Simon St. Pierre's favorites, as recorded "raw" at an early orchestra practice session). For more, click on the yellow button on the audio files bar at the top right. The membership of the orchestra continues to evolve, with spin-offs and subsets of the original group (such as the "Sizzling Shamrocks" - click here) charming audiences of all ages at a variety of venues throughout the local community and beyond.
Here's an audio-visual glimpse of some of our Folque Co-op minstrels in action at a recent rehearsal.(click on image below to start video):
The Folque Co-op brings NY's fabulous young Strawberries & Raspberries to the Twin Cities!
An ensemble of more than two dozen young string players from the state of New York descended on Lewiston-Auburn recently to perform a public concert as well as share their talents with local school children and retirement community residents.
Hailing from the the Poughkeepsie area, the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers and their slightly younger "JV" team, the Raspberry Fiddlers, are known for their ability to wow audiences with their stellar fiddling techniques representing a variety of genres. Their repertoire includes everything from lively Celtic jigs and lilting English country dance tunes to sassy ragtime numbers and old-time Appalachian melodies, with songs and dance routines adding further pizazz to their shows.
On Sunday, March 29, the ensemble of 25 fiddlers, cellists and bass players appeared in concert at the Temple Shalom synagogue in Auburn. Designed for a family audience, the program included such selections as the elegant "Bare Necessities" waltz, the saucy "Acorn Stomp," the spicy Cajun two step "Jig Francais," and the rousing "North Carolina Breakdown," during which the young musicians gleefully abandoned their fiddles and transformed into clog dancers.
Temple Shalom rabbi Sruil Dresdner, who is himself a musician, said "The members of our temple were delighted to be able to provide a performance venue for these extremely gifted young folk musicians." Dresdner's wife, Lisa Mayer, is a highly accomplished klezmer fiddler who added to the spirit of hospitality by offering the youngsters a free workshop in klezmer fiddle techniques after their concert. During this fun but intense session, they learned an entire piece of klezmer music which they added to their performance repertoire the next day.
The young musicians remained in the community for a two-day residency during which they performed for students and staff at three Lewiston elementary schools – Martel, Geiger and Montello – as well as at East Auburn School. They also entertained residents at Schooner Estates Retirement Community in Auburn, all at no charge. In appreciation for sharing their talents so generously in the community, Bates College treated the entire group to free lunch at the college's dining commons on Monday, followed by a tour of the campus.
The "Strawberries & Raspberries," as they are known collectively, comprise students from 15 different middle and high schools in New York's Hudson Valley. The folk bands are sponsored by Stringendo, a community music school through which the youngsters also study classical music. The fiddlers' visit to Maine was the latest in a series of semi-annual concert tours during which they have ventured as far west and south as Minnesota and Louisiana, and even across the Atlantic to Scotland and England. And four years ago, the Strawberries were selected as contestants for the popular television show "America's Got Talent," which brought them to "show biz alley" in the heart of New York City.
When the co-director of Stringendo's fiddle program, Carole Schaad, caught wind of a performance opportunity at this year's DownEast Country Dance Festival, happening in Topsham on March 28, she quickly signed up both groups to perform in a Young Fiddlers Extravaganza, where they shared the stage with musicians from the Maine's Folque Co-op's youth music program. While at the festival, they also participated in workshops in French-Canadian Fiddle Styles and Quebecois Step Dancing.
As a native Maine Franco-American who was born and raised in Winslow, Schaad was pleased to be able to bring her young music proteges to her home state, where, she says, they were able to "meet and make music with Maine fiddlers, learn some indigenous Maine-Franco tunes, and entertain area residents young and old."
We at the Maine Folque Co-op are pleased to have been able to bring the Strawberries & Raspberries ensemble to Lewiston-Auburn where their music enriched the lives of so many. We are also thankful that they directed the proceeds from their concert at Temple Shalom towards the support of our own fledgling youth music program.
More information about the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers & Raspberry Fiddlers is available on the Stringendo Music School's website at www.stringendoweb.org.
While in Maine, the Strawberries & Raspberries also performed at the DownEast Country Dance Festival in Topsham. For a peek of them in action with some of our own young (and not so young) Folque Co-op musicians, click HERE.
