"You Get the Best of Both Worlds"

After considering birthday party ideas, such as Chuck E Cheese, the sprinkler park and even the thought of a bouncy water thing, Raegan discovered Libby Lu! OH NO! Libby Lu is a little girls make over store in the mall, where one can go in as a regular girl and come out a rock star. Just like Hannah Montana! Well of course it is pricey and out of the question for a birthday party. So we agreed on a Rock Star make-over party at home. I mean come on, mom's got the goods here, right? You would think I was chopped liver, my kids are so un-impressed with my resume. My bid for this birthday party was harder to sell than a national commercial. So finally, out came the colored hair spray, makeup, blow up guitars, microphones, a large mirror, some sparkle and tons of glitter (thanks to my most excellent girl-friend and makeup sister Phyllis). 16 little girls got their makeup and hair done, did a freeze dance game, taught me some cool dances and had some cake and ice cream.Forget the presence of those so called famous makeup artists. I think the big mirror we had out was the biggest hit. It brought back memories of the hours my sisters and I spent in front of the mirror practicing our lip sync routines.

You use those talents girl! We went to Libby Lou for my niece's b-day one year. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it cuz ouch, it was soooo pricey. Homemade parties are always more fun.
