My wife used your "Chi" cake ball ideas for my sons Chima Birthday Party. I dabble in Graphic Design so I also created a Birthday Banner, Invitations, Party Favor Tags etc. for the Party. I ended up posting them to Etsy so that other people who'd like to have them but don't want to go to the trouble of finding pictures organizing them etc could use them. I'll share a link with you and your readers if it's OK. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/InstantBirthday?section_id=16911364" rel="nofollow">Chima Birthday Downloads</a> and you can use the coupon code INSTANT10PERCENT to save 10% off everything on checkout.

I started out with the Donna Young site, but when I went to print some for 2014, the site wasn't updated yet. So, I found the PrintFree.com site. Also, the DY site prints vertical, and sometimes I want horizontal. I also use the blank calendars and pocket protector for menu planning. <br /><br />And speaking of the next break from school, I better get crackin' on some plans. That's summer break! Much longer than 10 days.

However, my favorite was Pitsy Patsy. A former neighbor who means a lot to me and is now in his 90's started calling me that when I was in grade school. I saw him this past July when we were in KC and the first thing he said was "Pitsy!"

At first I really enjoyed it, but then reality hit and the constant stress, complaining customers, etc. just got to me. I think I went to pharmacy school because I was "chasing the dream" that started when I was growing up working in my dad's pharmacy. The practice of pharmacy back then was way different than it is today and therein lies the problem! I'm not working now as I can't bear the thought of being in WalMart, etc. running around like a chicken with her head cut off! Oh, what should I be when I grow up????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223227028912623837.post-82621767962644120272012-11-06T12:27:57.894-06:002012-11-06T12:27:57.894-06:00Thanks for reading!
