Super Bowl Sunday 2-3-2008
Entertaining is always fun and football seems to offer the whole range of emotions. Since many of your guests will have different team preferences and definite feelings about the 
teams that didn’t make it, here is a fun buffet idea.Undoubtedly, there will be plenty of food served, some will be immediately recognized and some may cause even an experienced buffeter to pause.
To avoid confusion and a barrage of questions while poking a bit of fun at the many teams not present, use clip art to describe each dish or activity.
If you prepare Mexican food, you might choose clip art from http://www.graphicsfactory.com/ that depicted different football positions. Choose black and white clip art and let the kids color in to match different NFL teams.
Your menu might look something like this:
- Touchdown taco meat
- No Penalty on the play pintos
- Flag on the play Flautas
- Field Goal Guacamole
The other option is to name the food after the teams:
- Redskin Refried Beans
- Saintly Salsa
- Panther Pork
This is a fun way to enjoy yourself at your party and have a little fun with the guests.
Top Five Ways Clip Art Helps Cheap People at Halloween
Okay so it was a really long title but you are still reading so it must have worked!
TOP FIVE LIST
5. You can save popsicle sticks to paste your clip art puppets to and that will save money on apples
4. You can paste clip art on a plain white t-shirt instead of springing for an real costume
3. By handing out clip art instead of candy you will be confirming the rumor that you are cheap so the neighbors can stop talking about you
2. After handing out clip art instead of actual treats you will probably save plenty of money on toilet paper
and the number 1 way that clip art helps cheap people at Halloween is by ensuring that no one knocks on your door expecting candy next year!

A Haunting Howling Ghoule Time With Clip Art!
With Halloween parties for older kids on the way we thought we would share a few party ideas!
Guess Who?????
Guess who is a new twist on an old guessing game.
As each of your guests arrive you tape a piece of paper to their back with your favorite clip art that describes their character.
As they mingle with their friends they ask yes or no questions until they discover their character that is taped to their back.
The older the children are the more complicated the characters and clues can be.
If the party is for adults use characters from “monster” or “vampire” novels, or actual authors like Edgar Allen Poe, Anne Rice, and Bram Stoker.
Character Cards
You Will Need:
- Your favorite Halloween Clip Art downloaded from www.graphicsfactory.com
