Christmas Story Ideas for Next Year...
brynnfromtheblock replied to brynnfromtheblock's topic in 2006
It would be way cool if I could think of a way to put sound to the different scenes.. "FRAGI-LE" "You'll shoot your eye out" and "Stuck-Stuck-Stuuuuccckkkk" -

OOhhh one of the sites has just the mannequin legs for sale.. but they're out of stock... but I'm sure they'll be back in before I need it.. not sure about the best way to attach the light shade/light though -
Christmas Story Ideas for Next Year...
brynnfromtheblock replied to brynnfromtheblock's topic in 2006
I saw that and have the site bookmarked... I so want to go there!! The lamps are expensive, and I actually wouldn't mind paying for it so that it would look right... .but none of them are indoor/outdoor... we really want this to be outside where everyone can see it... (we have small weird shaped design windows in the front so it wouldn't look right to put it inside, plus I want the box with "FRAGI-LE" on it!! the shade won't be a problem, but I guess I need to figure out how to get a leg and put some sort of outdoor bulb in it and not melt the plastic... (that's the part that's going to be hardest I think) -
Christmas Story Ideas for Next Year...

LOL!! We're not the craftiest people so hopefully we can pull it off!! I know the people on here could come up with awesome ideas so I'm hoping to get help!! -
My family LOVES the movie A Christmas Story.... this year we decided that next year we want to recreate some scenes in the front yard, rather than put out the normal reindeers and trees etc.... I'd like to have an opening the leg lamp scene, the tongue stuck to the pole and Higbees department store window... We're going to start thinking about it through the year and collect materials as we go... The best I could think of is cutting the forms out of plywood and painting them, then putting lights on it so it would show up..... no ideas yet on how to make an outdoor leg lamp that would glow... You guys are creative.. what's the best way to do this?

Did you forget to give any gifts? I found some today...
brynnfromtheblock replied to Shortness's topic in 2006
Yup.... found a magic book for dd#1 that didn't make it.... My husband got it the worst as I had a little bit to drink on Christmas Eve and had not done his stocking.. forgot to put an Outback GC and a Beatles CD in it... -

What's your forecast for Christmas Day??
brynnfromtheblock replied to brynnfromtheblock's topic in 2006
I'd settle for being able to wear something with sleeves!!! -
What's the weather going to be like for you on Christmas Day?? Unfortunately for us it's going to be a high of 77degrees/low of 62degrees. Can't it just be cold for one Christmas!!!

Laptop bag for teen girl
brynnfromtheblock replied to petalmom's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
I paid alot for mine at a Samsonite store... but when I was in Walmart yesterday I saw a cute black one with pink trim for about 25 bucks... didn't pick it up to see what the quality was (i.e. if it was total crap) but it might be worth a look -
Help!! My mom who has been done with her Christmas shopping for weeks called me this morning and said she "changed up" what she had gotten my daughter for Christmas.... she went to Target this morning to by a Wii for her house for the son in laws and grandkids to play with but they were out so she bought a PS3 and 2 nintendo DS's.. one of which is a pink one she is now going to give to my daughter... Since most of her shopping is done I think she's going to buy one game and a case as well..... I feel like I now need to buy at least one game so she has 2 games to play with it.. anywhere I can get a cheap game? Im po'ed cause if I knew this a couple of days ago I could have gotten games and a case from TRU for the 12 days of Christmas!!! Is there anywhere to get a game or 2 that is not 30 dollars or are they all this price?

clever gift card wrapping ideas
brynnfromtheblock replied to mileatime's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
Don't know if you've bought the gift cards or where they are too but something I've done with Walmart is for .88 cents you can put your own picture on the card... maybe something funny or several small dollar amount ones with picture clues on them to the next one... -
We have a nano.. it does the trick and have never had a problem with it...

Christmas Story DVD
brynnfromtheblock replied to brynnfromtheblock's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
A little off topic but when I looked at Deep Discount they also "suggested" something called a Summer Story which was Ralphies' summer adventures? Never heard of it... different cast though so I bet it's not any good -
Anyone know the best price on this? I can't seem to find it at our local stores, you'd think they'd be everywhere... my 4yoa has loved this movie sinces she was 2.... she couldn't possibly have understood it then but she'd would watch it over and over, even during the summer... she'd call it "BB GUN". We had 2 of them and she asked me if she could watch BB gun last week and I can't find either of them anywhere... guess we need a new one!!

wow wee Roboreptile, any deals?
brynnfromtheblock replied to aspramn's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
This is one of the weekly voting deal at Amazon.com right now... It shows their normal price as 69.99 and the "ridiculous price vote" is for 20.00.. it won't win because it's up against a $90 Zune, but usually the items that lose are also discounted so it might go down to the 49 dollar range -
What crazy things do you tell your kids about Santa?
brynnfromtheblock replied to amyers12345's topic in 2006
We bought them an airhockey table one year, it took DH an hour to put it together and when he flipped up the top part at the end there was a crack/hole in the bumper piece... we had to take it back to the store, and needed to get another one that day 'cause it was Christmas Eve and we had a ton of people coming over to play it. We told them that Santa's Reindeer ate a hole in it because we didn't leave any carrots out for him when he dropped it off... needless to say we can't ever go to bed on Christmas eve without leaving carrots out!! -
