I was't really happy with iOS 6's Music.app player visual design, so I started fooling around with those visuals, adding just a couple of details I'd like to have. Check out the full version.
This was the very first iteration. Kinda quick and dirty. Playing with it, I realized there was a lot of room for improvement and exploring, so I grabbed pen and paper and started again, trying to get rid of the typical music player for iOS paradigm. I'll post some more stuff about this little guy when I'm happy enough with it :)

I was in the market for a companion horse for Indie, and had been looking through craigslist for the better part of half a year... when a friend of mine shared a link to a skinny little filly titled only as a "shadow paint." Whelp, my boyfriend and I headed out to see her just a few days ago, and she turned out to be one of the skinniest horses I've personally seen in person (though her coloring throws it off, I can feel every rib and her hips quite well), infested with worms, and with just horrid feet that had been hacked away at Half out of pity, and the other half because my boyfriend fell madly in love with her, we took the skinny little filly home for $175 (not counting all the feed, supplies, and shots my boyfriend is spending on her), and today she now sits happily in my pasture as of this afternoon
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE IS SCRIBBLES! The itty bitty 3 year old Pintaloosa.
Yes, she is very skinny, and not the best put together... but we fell in love with her personality, and just didn't have the heart to leave her in the conditions she was in. I'll try to put up a progress report once she's looking her health again ;)
They're already buddies, and I'm so happy that Indie doesn't have to be alone anymore Pretty sure Scribbles here is pretty happy to finally have all the grass she'll ever want.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- Oracle today announced the general availability of MySQL 5.6, the world's most popular open-source database.
- With increased performance, scalability, reliability and manageability, MySQL 5.6 helps users meet the most demanding Web, Cloud and embedded application requirements.
- MySQL 5.6 improves developer agility with subquery optimizations, online Data Definition Language (DDL) operations, NoSQL access to InnoDB, new instrumentation in Performance Schema and better condition handling.
- For more details, join the MySQL Technology Update webcast on Feb 14 at 10:00 a.m. US, Pacific Time.
- In addition, Oracle is hosting the first Virtual Develop Day for MySQL on March 12 at 9:00 a.m. US, Pacific Time. The event will include presentations and hands-on labs to educate MySQL users on essential skills and the latest features in Oracle MySQL 5.6. Register here.
Continued Innovations for the MySQL Community
- New features and enhancements in MySQL 5.6 are available to MySQL users in the MySQL Community Edition.
- MySQL 5.6 provides enhanced linear scalability, helping users to leverage modern hardware capabilities.
- With this version, users can experience simplified query development and faster execution, better transactional throughput and application availability, flexible NoSQL access, improved replication and enhanced instrumentation.
- Highlights of MySQL 5.6 include:
- Better Query Execution Times and Diagnostics provided through an enhanced MySQL Optimizer diagnostics:
- Subquery Optimizations: simplify query development by optimizing subqueries prior to execution. New efficiencies in how result sets are selected, sorted and returned deliver substantial improvement in query execution times.
- The Addition of Index Condition Pushdown (ICP) and Batch Key Access (BKA): can improve selected query throughput by up to 280x(1).
- Enhanced Optimizer Diagnostics: with EXPLAIN for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations. EXPLAIN plan output in JSON format delivers more precise optimizer metrics and better readability, and Optimizer Traces enables to track the optimizer decision-making process.
- Greater Performance Throughput and Application Availability with an improved InnoDB storage engine:
- Up to 230 Percent Improvement in Transactional and Read Only Throughput: InnoDB has been re-factored to minimize legacy threading, flushing, and purge mutex contentions and bottlenecks, enabling better concurrency on heavily loaded OLTP systems, and resulting in significantly improved throughput for both transactional and read only workloads(2).
- Enhanced Availability: online DDL operations enable DBAs to add indexes and perform table alterations while the application remains available for updates.
- Full-Text Search with InnoDB: allows developers to build FULLTEXT indexes on InnoDB tables to represent text-based content and speed up application searches for words and phrases.
- Simple, Key Value Lookup: flexible NoSQL access to InnoDB provides simple, key-value lookup of InnoDB data via the familiar Memcached API. Users get the "best of both worlds," combining key-value operations and complex SQL queries in the same database.
- Improved Scale-Out and High Availability: with new features in MySQL replication including:
- Self-Healing Replication Clusters: the addition of Global Transaction Identifiers and Utilities make it simple to automatically detect and recover from failures. Crash-Safe Replication enables the binary log and slaves to automatically recover correct positions in the replication stream in case of a crash, and resume replication without administrator intervention. Checksums maintain data integrity across the cluster by automatically detecting and alerting on errors.
- High Performance Replication Clusters: up to 5 times faster replication through Multi-Threaded Slaves(3), Binlog Group Commit and Optimized Row-Based Replication enable users to maximize the performance and efficiency of replication as they scale-out their workloads across commodity systems.
- Time-delayed Replication: provides protection against operational errors made on the master, for example accidentally dropping tables.
- Enhanced PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA: new instrumentation enables users to better monitor most resource intensive queries, objects, users and applications. New summaries with aggregated statistics grouped by query, thread, user, host and object are also available. The enhancements allow for easier default configuration with less than five percent overhead.
- Better Query Execution Times and Diagnostics provided through an enhanced MySQL Optimizer diagnostics:
- MySQL 5.6 includes a number of additional enhancements including Geographic Information Systems - Precise Spatial operations, improved IPv6 compliance and optimized server defaults.

As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Tony Van Bynen, mayor of the town of Newmarket, Ont., — the hometown of hockey phenom Connor McDavid — doesn't hesitate for a second when asked if he would run against the 18-year-old in a popularity poll. "Not a chance," replies Van Bynen.
These days, sober second thought involving the Canadian Senate includes the merits of hastening its abolition. The arrests of Patrick Brazeau, the suspensions of Brazeau, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, the 31-count Duffy criminal trial, the upcoming trial of Mac Harb on charges of fraud and breach of trust, an allegation that Don Meredith had a sexual affair with a teenage girl, and the auditor general's damning report of ineligible Senate expense claims have combined to put a bull's eye on the Red Chamber.
The last time Rick Kasprick saw Lori, it was spring. May, maybe June. Rick was at a track meet when she showed up. She asked him how everything was, and they chatted. Then she said, "I have to go." And she left. The other details of that moment — what his sister was wearing, who she was with, what kind of car they were in — are all lost to time and memory.
The debate about corporate tax rates was a hot issue during the Alberta provincial election campaign this year. It prompted the famous "math is difficult" moment between PC Leader Jim Prentice and NDP Leader Rachel Notley. In a pre-budget survey conducted by the government this spring, 69 per cent of Albertans said they wanted to see corporate taxes increased.
In 1906, a young teacher, stone deaf from a recent illness, arrived in Vegreville, looking for a new career. A.L. Horton took one look at the brand new Vegreville Observer, saw opportunity in the bustling town of 344 people, bought the business and soon put the paper — and himself — at the centre of the town's life and Alberta history.
How well is junior golf doing in Alberta? Let's start with this: The population of Crossfield, a town just north of Calgary, is 2,800. And the number of kids taking part in the town's junior academy at Collicutt Siding Golf Club? Try over 1,000 — more than a third of the town's population.

Tobacco hit the headlines on three fronts this week as Alberta banned menthol flavoured cigarettes, a judge handed out a $15.6-billion class-action award to more than a million Quebec smokers, and the president of a tobacco company from Mohawk territory in Quebec was found not guilty of importing millions of cigarettes without a licence for resale to a First Nations reserve south of Edmonton.
The game of soccer is simple, but its history is complex and dates back thousands of years. As Edmonton prepares for a month full of soccer action, here's a (very) brief primer on the history of the beautiful game.
Nara Pech's voice is unwavering in the message he left for his parents from the Wattay International Airport in Vientiane, Laos. "I'm in Laos and they're trying to hurt me. I need help. Call the embassy, please," he says on the voice-mail message.
The NDP election promise of a $15 minimum wage by 2018 is either the end of small business in Alberta or the beginning of the end of poverty in the province. That's how polarizing and hyperbolic the debate has been.
A task force formed to eliminate poverty will recommend to city council in September that Edmonton adopt a living wage of $17.29 per hour. All companies contracted or subcontracted to do business with the city would have to pay their employees at least that amount, which already exceeds the NDP government's planned minimum wage of $15 for 2018.
On Sunday, Rachel Notley's NDP will be sworn in as Alberta's new government, the first one in 44 years. Edmontonians looking forward to the new political reality might wonder what life was like in the city in 1971, when Peter Lougheed's PCs unseated Harry Strom's reigning Social Credit on Aug. 30, 1971, launching the Tory dynasty that would last four decades until this May 5.
The personal discovery came about three years after Justice Murray Sinclair had begun his work in 2009 as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Edmonton is about to undergo an operation that will shift how downtown's lifeblood flows under 102nd Avenue. Crews have already ripped up the pavement from 95th Street to 97th Street so pipes carrying power, water and telecommunications can be moved to accommodate the Valley Line LRT.
Back in the 1960s, when Harry Surcon was a rookie police officer in Edmonton, he didn't have a cellphone or radio. He didn't have a cruiser, bicycle or Segway. Just his two feet. He walked his beat alone, wearing his 11-kilogram buffalo fur coat. While not ideal for chasing criminals, it kept officers warm, though they occasionally had to beat the coats with batons to remove snow and ice.
Ryan King's hands move slowly, deliberately, shaping an oblong clump of clay into a symmetrical bowl. He gently pinches, moulding the emerging art until the lip is flat, the sides even and pockmarked with perfect dimples. With a wet sponge, Ryan smoothes away imperfections in the clay. He gently places the finished bowl in front of him, next to leftover beads from a necklace he made his mother.
NORTH OF WANDERING RIVER — Under a hot afternoon sun, two men scramble up a barren, debris-strewn hillside in a cut block on Crown land where mature trees were harvested two years ago. They move swiftly, despite tricky footing over deadfall and branches and the large bags of white spruce seedlings that weigh heavy on their hips.
This Mother's Day, as I eagerly await the annual bounty of crafts made with love by stubby, glue-stained fingers, I find myself wondering, What about the children who don't have a mother? My children—aged seven and four—remain blissfully unaware that Mommy's cancer means that, going forward, Mother's Day will become a day of quiet grief. […]
Long before Rachel Notley led the NDP to a 53-seat landslide, the party's pioneers fought on the fringes for legitimacy and for the social democratic causes that still put planks in the platform. Their party's policies and place on the spectrum did not resonate with Albertans, save for a renaissance in the 1980s, but its leaders were all good, smart, dedicated politicians worth remembering in the wake of such a triumph.

Getting more women to run for political office in Alberta comes down to persistence, Rachel Notley says. With women making up 52 per cent of its provincial election slate, Notley's NDP has far outstripped the province's four other major parties in putting forward female candidates.

The old 1982 TV images have faded in colour, almost to sepia tones.

Fort Chipewyan — A sign posted outside the medical clinic in Fort Chipewyan tells patients they may have to ring the buzzer to be let in.

In one play in one double-overtime game in June last year, Alec Martinez lived out the dream of every kid that's ever picked up a hockey stick. Part of a three-on-two break, the Los Angeles Kings defenceman saw teammate Tyler Toffoli's shot from the right wing thud off of Henrik Lundqvist's extended leg. The puck found its way to Martinez's stick and faster than you can say Stanley-Cup-game-winner, Martinez gave 18,173 fans at Staples Center a piece of hockey history.
By the end of 2016, $900,000 worth of new public art will accompany Edmonton's downtown arena in three nearby locations. It's a record budget for a single cluster of contemporary art in Edmonton, a scale we've never seen in one place before. Its largest is a $500,000 commission and drew submissions globally and from locals.

London ISD officials address bullying, consequences with students
CORPUS CHRISTI - The London ISD superintendent on Monday detailed how serious officials are about tackling bullying by openly telling the district's 485 students the consequences of that behavior.
"We can't ignore it," Superintendent Hal Roberts said before addressing students. "We aren't naive enough to think it doesn't exist."
Issues recently have come up in the district regarding bullying, mostly away from school grounds, that have caught administrators' attention, officials said.
While privacy laws prohibit school officials from divulging specific discipline actions that may have been taken, Roberts said, the pair of 30-minute assemblies Monday aimed to relay the district's plan of action against bullying and outline consequences to students and parents. Roberts told students in London ISD that he wants to try and get ahead of the problem.
"I don't want to be in front of a TV camera to explain what happened as a result of bullying," he said.
He told students that bullies are the people with the problem.
"They want to hurt somebody else," he said. "Obviously, that's not the way to handle things."
Roberts and London School Principal Clay Campbell mentioned to students a national attention-grabbing incident in the Flour Bluff Independent School District, where district officials have dealt with the April 1 suicide of former student Ted "Teddy" Molina.
The 16-year-old's family has attributed his death to bullying.
London officials started their public discussions on bullying last week, when Roberts and school district trustees addressed the issue during a board meeting. Corpus Christi Independent School District trustees also openly discussed the topic last week during their regular meeting.
Roberts said London School's pre-kindergarten through ninth-grade students are among the best in the state — in academics and low discipline rates.
"We want to keep it that way," he said. "We're going to be watching, so make sure you make us proud ..."
Parent Michelle Robles, 42, said she supported the idea of having an open assembly to discuss bullying because students need to know the situation as well as the consequences.
"It's just to put out there ... it's not going to be tolerated," she said. Roberts urged students and parents to report any and all details of behavior they see and consider bullying.
He emphasized the importance of students reaching out to teachers and administrators because they can help them.
"We can't take care of a problem until we know about it," Roberts said.

Hearty bill of fare at new cafe
Downtown eatery offers up buffet- style food, catfish special
Randal's Cafe owner Randal Doan hopes to reel in the downtown lunch crowd, offering quality, handmade cuisine — fast.
The cafe opened this week and offers belt-busting breakfasts, an ever-changing lunch buffet, and all-you-can-eat catfish on Fridays.
Doan, originally from the Wichita Falls area, went to grade school in Iowa Park and transferred to Rider for high school.
He picked up his love of food service while living in Washington state for 10 years. While there, he worked with several chefs in five-star hotels, eventually working up to the executive chef position. After moving back to Wichita Falls, he was the head chef at the former Ramada and the Wichita Club.
Doan's first restaurant was a catfish and home-style cooking establishment in Bowie. He later opened Kickapoo Catfish on Sheppard Access Road.
When planning his newest venture, Doan said, he wanted to open quickly and picked the downtown location because it already had a working kitchen area.
After two months of remodeling, the restaurant opened Monday.
Doan prepares all of the main dishes, and assistant chef Robin Williams, who previously worked with Doan at Kickapoo Catfish, prepares salads, side dishes and decadent desserts.
Doan said he believes business is a little slow because of nearby construction, but hopes the restaurant's food and variety will appeal to the downtown lunch crowd.
He said he knows that working people often leave the downtown area to get fast food and he hopes the cafeteria-style buffet will offer an equally speedy alternative.
Doan will continue the catfish tradition, featuring all-you-can-eat catfish from 5 to 10 p.m. Doan said he serves only high-quality, farm-raised catfish from Mississippi.
The café's lunch buffet offers a varying menu of comfort-food favorites including chicken-fried steak, pork chops and fried chicken. The buffet is available for $8.99 with a daily lunch special, and carryout is $7.99. Doan said they will also offer limited delivery to downtown businesses. Family carryout meals that serve four are available for $25 (3 to 6 p.m. weekdays).
Randal's Café is located at 710 Eighth St., behind the First Wichita building, otherwise known as "Big Blue."
The restaurant's telephone number is 940-264-2664.
It is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and to 10 p.m. on Friday. Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. and the lunch buffet is from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Thread: Drawing for Tatoo
February 6th, 2004 #1
Drawing for Tatoo
So a buddy of mine wants a dragon tatoo and he came to me to make one. I've never drawn a dragon before so after looking around a little and sketching some this is what i came up with. There's a problem though, he wants the dragons head to wrap around and end up the the right side of his neck, with the body across his shoulders and the tail down his left arm. The neck on this one is too short, but i like it anyway. If anyone draws dragons or knows artists that do could you point me in the right direction for a pose and body style reference. Thanks

Your dragon looks a lot like a griffen to me personally but it is good.
From what i've seen of how they get tatooes on the person the design is put on the kind of paper that the cheap non-permanent tatooes come on and put it on you and then transfer it to the person and go over the lines with the actual pins.
They could also free hand it on then trace. It all depends on the tatooe artist.:chainsaw:

Phew… busy times…!
The weekend was rather rainy and I took the opportunity to view and edit our photos from the carnival in Basel that we took before we left to Norway. It has been already five weeks since we enjoyed the wonderful music, creative masks and costumes of the "Gugge" music bands around Basel.
As already mentioned in our blog post Once a year…, we only took photos with the 14mm Samyang during the event and I'm still amazed at the quality and sharpness of this cheap but very good lens. If you run the photos through a plugin like PT Lens to correct distortion and vignetting, you will achieve very good results but also lose about 1 to 2mm focal length due to the correction. Considering the price for a Canon equivalent (plus I'm very happy with the Zeiss 15mm f2.8 lens…), it is a real bargain and more than just good value for money.
Please enjoy our photo festival of the carnival in Basel 😉

Solar battery project unveiled in St. Petersburg listen05/27/08 Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday Listen to this entire show:
Solar power is one of the most cost-effective and least polluting forms of energy generation. But critics of solar say it will not provide a considerable proportion of the nationâs energy because it is an intermittent source of energy.
Today at USF St. Petersburg, Progress Energy unveiled two prototypes of what they call SEEDS â Sustainable Electric Energy Delivery System â that will store electricity generated from photovoltaic (PV) solar panels until it is needed.

I made this tool tray for my son-in-law's birthday. The red oak was leftover from our house remodeling project three years ago. The design was inspired by both Jim Tolpin's book, The Toolbox Book and a photo of a toolbox from Mate's book The World's Best Sailboats. The dimensions use the "Golden Rectangle of Design." The length is 18" and the width is 11 1/4". The corners are counterbored screws with teak plugs. The screwdriver ledge is made so that it can removed (notice the brass screws and finishing washers) and customized or replaced in the future. The finish is Minwax Wiping Poly.

Flip Up Helmets
Flip up motorcycle helmets
Good got better
I own several helmets, my first being a Caberg Konda which I purchased 3 years ago and was very pleased with it at the time. Having become a motorcycle enthusiast, I felt it was time to upgrade as I use a scooter or motor bike almost every day and need one that fulfills all my requirements. I wanted a flip front helmet that was certified as safe for use in both opened and closed positions. Pin lock double screen for anti fog, quick release chin strap and an option for a Bluetooth device that doesn't look bulky or awkward on the side of the helmet. I love all the gizmos and gadgets. I also wanted a cool looking helmet so I can use it with my CBR600...and look cool. So, functional, up to date and cool. In that order. I've tried lots of different brands in order to find one that suits my head shape. The last thing you need is helmet that hurts your head after an hour or two....like a diesel helmet. Looks nice, but is now a spare passenger helmet....Minh-man Tran - London
5 stars from Sharp, 5 stars from me
Great helmet. Comfortable (if a little short front to back). Noise not an issue with ear plugs. I never use a helmet without pinlock so this was a bonus. A previous review stated the pinlock was yellow. No, that's a protective removable film! Great value, great quality. Fantastic service from Sportsbikeshop.Nigel Garrard - Ingatestone
Great lid
Great helmet, gets a SHARP 5 star rating, is road legal to ride with it in its upright position, comes with a Pinlock visor included and fits great. Came up a bit large on my head so had to go one size down from normal but with the returns policy this is not a problem.Ross Nash - Milton Keynes

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Apple isn't done celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Mac. On January 24, the actual anniversary day, the company updated its website with a video and interactive timeline celebrating the 1984 device that started it all — and all the Macs that came after it. But the Cupertino-based gadget maker also spent the day filming a short movie (spanning 10 countries and five continents) about what people around the world are doing with Apple products. At the end of the 90-second ad comes the revelation: The film was shot entirely on iPhones in a single day. (And it was edited on Macs, naturally.) Instead of paying for a Super Bowl ad like rival Microsoft, Apple opted to debut its "1.24.14" video online Monday morning.

My mom and my aunt are FINALLY planning my baby shower. I am not opposed to games, but most of them seem so corny. Do any of you know of any games that would be fun, but not totally stupid? There are only going to be about 10-15 people at my shower because everyone lives out of state and I am on bed rest so they would have to come to me.
Do "uncorny" baby shower games exist?
SAHM to our IVF baby Carter 3-1-09 and Larissa 12-22-92. 4 angel babies I will meet someday.
At one of my friends showers we had guests bring a baby photo of themselves. We numbered them and put them up on a cork board. Then we gave out a sheet with numbers and had the guests guess who was in the baby pictures. We held the master sheet with the answers and whoever guessed the most correct won a prize. I thought it was cool cuz you didnt have to participate and it also helped guests get to know each other if they didnt. People tend to stick in groups when they dont really know each other well.
Another one that was okay (still kinda corny) was they froze little plastic babies in ice cube trays and whoevers baby thawed out first won a prize.
I too HATE baby shower games in fact I only requested the picture game and that guests bring books instead of greeting cards.
Hope this helps...and I hope to hear of some better games myself
no, but if you find some good ones to play with large crowds let me know
Nayelli's mom.
I really like baby shower bingo. You can find templates online or just fill out the sheets yourself with items like baby blanket, stroller, etc. As you open each gift people will fill up their sheet just like bingo. I think it works well because it gives people something to do while you are opening presents.
Baby shower price is right is pretty good as well. You can place out some baby related items and people can guess how much they cost write them on a slip of paper with their name and drop them in bowls next to the items. This one works well because it can be done throughout the party.
We did one where you use little lumps of pink playdough, and "sculpt" little babies. The finished babies were only about 1-2" long. It was fun, and you got to see people's creative side. Another game, if you're evil (like me)...everyone gets a sealed envelope with a piece of paper inside. When you give the signal, everyone gets 1 minute to open the envelope, and tear (by hand) the piece of paper into a baby shape (or fold it into a diaper..). When done, they have to put it back in the envelope and sign it. Then, (here's the evil part)...the mom to be chooses the winner by deciding who opened their envelope the neatest.
I come from a large family.. my dad had 10 brothers and sisters and it seems that there are at least 4 cousins pregnant at all times.. so many baby showers! A few games/entertainment things we have done are....
Have a plater of baby supplies exp. diaper, bib, paci, formula, nail clipper.. so on.. we had about 13 items on a plater, my cousin walked around with it briefly and then we had to write down as many things that we saw on tray.. it was kinda corny but it was actually hard.. she gave like 2 minutes to write down things. winner got a prize..
We often do the advice thing.... you write down a word of advice for the new mom.. something fun for mom to go home and read or read aloud with people at shower...
Take a paper and put mom and dads full names on them.. give ppl like 5 minutes to come up with most names made out of mom and dads name.. kinda interesting and fun to see what people come up with.. winner gets prize.
Theres the baby food one.. take labels off of baby food jars.. pass around..have people guess what kind it is based off of look and or smell..depending on how hard you wnat to make it! Winner gets prize!
They may be corny but there are some ideas i have seen done before!
Proud Mommy to Connor Daniel 3-6-09
This isn't a game, but something I always like to have people do at a shower: Diapers of Encouragement. Take a package of newborn size diapers and have each guest write a note of encouragement on the outside of a diaper - then the parents can read the little messages as they go through the package.
Darci Lynne is already 1 year old?!
UGH! I was wondering the same thing.
I hate the baby diaper/ candy bar one. So lame!
Kiddo Archer-Clyde Huffman April 5th, 2009!
I have also been wondering what to do. Seeing as I have no feelings whatsoever (I've been told this many times and agree), it is hard to offen me, so we are going to play the string game for sure. It's where you (expectant mother) stand in the middle of everyone for a little bit and a ball of yarn or string and scissors are passed around. Everyone takes a turn cutting the string in the length that they think would go around your belly. Have the host premeasure you before anyone arrives. The closest one wins. People will measure you really small or really big, and if you are like me, it'll just be funny to see what people come up with. I am gonna have to try the neatest envelope one!
Sara & W, '08
I'm a sewing, homesteading,bookworm, semi-crunchy, Christian, Cherokee cowgirl mama to 3, almost 4, rowdy country kids. Native Pride!
My favorite is the onesie decorating game. Just get a bunch of plain white onesies in different sizes and a some fun t-shirt decorating paints, glitter, etc. Then have each guest decorate one for the baby. It's pretty fun and nice to have sassy homemade onesies.
