Every year I throw myself a birthday party. Sometimes they're big and sometimes they're small and they always have a theme, of sorts. One year I did an ice cream party. I really need to get that one posted on here. One of the most popular and fun was the Breakfast at Tiffany's party. This year the theme was Road Trip. I love road trips. I'd prefer to drive to my vacation destination than fly. You get to see so much when you're on the road. My guests were greeted by a banner and the classic air freshner tree's. I'm not sure how people can stand to have those in their car. The scent is so strong. I could smell them through the door. I created the backdrop using a map and photo's of vacations I've been on. I also marked places on the map that I had been. Stopping for donuts is common on road trips. You won't find these mini donuts in any shop on the road. They were made by EZ Favor Lollipop Shop. Since the air freshner tree's have such a strong scent I didn't want to use them for the garland on the table. Swishprintables did a great job of creating the air freshners in print. Auntie Bea's Bakery helped with the snack stop in Arizona with cactus cookies. I treated myself this year to a bakery cake. Devils food cake layered with chocolate ganche and raspberry buttercream and iced in raspberry buttercream. 4 Kids Cakes created road signs to add some fun to the cake. I love how she distressed them so they look like they've been on the side of the road for years. No trip is complete without a stop for munchies. I always liked to get the little bags of nuts or gummy candy when we stopped for munchies. Do you recognize that gummy bunny? Marshmallow Oreo cookies and buttery crackers. Thank you for joining me on my road trip.

Submerged VBS Craft Ideas - a collection of alternitive craft ideas for Lifeway's "Submerged" themed Vacation Bible school

Give your Nazareth VBS rooms the look and feel of Nazareth in Bible times. Ask for the loan of large potted plants from your church members. Paint packing boxes to look like stones. Stack boxes and paint them to look like Bible-time homes. Decorate large poster paper to look like a stone wall for backgrounds. Hang some sheets to use as dividers in your larger rooms. Scatter a few throw pillows and rugs on the floor. Collect baskets and plastic fruit and vegetables. Hang some baskets from the walls or display them on shelves. Low tables make great work areas (or lay an old door on top a few two-by-fours). Toy animals add a fun touch, too. If you have outdoor areas, bring in clean sand or sandboxes and potted trees and ferns. Also bring large clay or plastic pots. Do not bring in any poisonous plants or anything that has sharp edges or splinters. Also avoid small objects that can become choking hazards for small children. Any item that can fit into an empty paper towel tube is too small for your toddlers and preschoolers. Collect colorful blankets to decorate your floors and walls. Place wicker baskets of various sizes and shapes around your VBS rooms. Staple or tape the Giant Decorating Posters to your walls to give your hallways and rooms the feel of Bible times. Cover one wall with green poster paper so it looks like grass. Fringe strips of green paper for a 3-D effect along the top. Then staple it to the bottom of your wall or bulletin board so the fringe sticks out slightly (roll it over a pencil). Or use a scalloped grass border. Children can add their God Sightings Sheep to the grass wall each day during your VBS program. Preschool children can draw their God sightings on the sheep or have an older child or adult helper write the sightings for them. Create a photo area with some large potted plants, clay pots, and toy sheep. Old sheets make wonderful backdrops and room dividers. Have the child stand next to a Bible times home or hillside (or stone wall). Take a picture of the child wearing his tribe belt along with a prayer shawl and holding a scroll. Send the picture to the child the week after your VBS with an invitation to your next children's ministry or family event (Bible club, fall festival, or Sunday school kick-off). Include a note reminding the child (and his parents) about the fun time they had at your Nazareth VBS. Need more decorating ideas? Take a look at the Nazareth Clip Art and Resources CD Set for signs, posters, publicity pieces, and costume patterns. Also watch the creative decorating options on the Decorating Places DVD. Now you're ready to travel back to Bible times for the VBS journey of a lifetime!
