Western Theme Party Ideas
by: Dee Schrock
Howdy!
Here are a few ideas for rowdy, rootin-tootin western theme party.
Western theme parties are one of the most popular theme parties- sure to go over well with all your guests.
This popular theme party can be prepared in less than a day, or in only a few hours for those high energy hosts!
Welcome each guest with a bandana and sheriff's badge.
Decorations
Think rustic and hearty!
Here are some great ideas:
* Old lanterns, jugs, and bales of hay
* Kerosene lamps
* Washtubs
* Inflatable cactus
* Saloon sign made out of paper bag or wood-burned
* Red gingham tablecloths
* Luminaries or fiesta lights
Costumes/Attire
A western theme party wouldn't be complete without the standard cowboy hats, vests, and bandanas.
A star badge, lasso, and large belt buckles are great accessories.
Activities
* Game of horseshoes
* Roping & lasso competitions
* "Pan for gold" in a sandbox (gold spray-painted rocks)
Invitations
Glue a thin piece of rope around the edges of your invitations to create a lasso-type look.
A nice touch is to personalize the guests name in cowboy lingo, such as Packin' Pete and Pistol Penny.
It's fun for the guest and they tend to get a kick out of it.
Food & Drink
Serve snacks in miniature cowboy hats and serve hearty western cuisine.
Music
Rootin' tootin' country music can be played in the background for square dancing or line dancing.
Have a wild western theme party!

Cheesecake Can It Be Frozen
Cheesecake Can It Be Frozen
by: Andrew Krause
Yes cheesecake can be frozen and it freezes very well, if you are having a party next week and you won't have time to prepare your cheesecake at that time, as I'm sure you won't, you can bake your cheesecake a week or so in advance and freeze it, but you must package it properly, but not by wrapping it with tin foil as many people do.
Tin foil is a metal and will cause freezer burn, what you need to do is place your cheesecake in a freezer for 4 to 5 hours just to get it really cold, remove it and wrap it with a plastic film wrap and place it in a freezer bag, try to get all the air from the bag.
Now place the wrapped cheesecake back to the freezer and let it alone until you need it.
The day of your party take your cheesecake from the freezer and unwrap it, place it in a container that fits it well and place it in your refrigerator until you are ready to use it ,it only takes a few hours...

There are many businesses out there which rent furniture by the month. You need a couch? Rent one for only $40 per month. Need a lamp? You can get one for $12 a month. Now, let?s see, in one year you would have paid $480 to use the couch and you wouldn?t own it. The lamp would have cost you $144 and it?s the same situation ~ at the end of your lease, you still own nothing.
Most of us would think it foolish to...

Should you Get an Interest-only Home Mortgage?
Should you Get an Interest-only Home Mortgage?
by: Mark Lambie
Before you consider taking out an interest-only mortgage, you should first understand what they are. Unlike traditional, fixed-rate mortgages, interest-only mortgages allows the borrower to initially pay the interest on the principal for a short period of time, rather than making payments on both the principal and the interest.
