Are you planning a baby shower anytime soon? If you are, you'll have to check out my new Baby Shower Mad Lib, Adventures in Birthing, It's sure to add some light-hearted laughter to your event.

If this is your first issue of Girl Stuff, you can get your free Beauty Tips e-book by clicking Here! The password is xxxxxxxxxx. I hope you enjoy the information and beauty recipes. You may find them useful if you decide to host a Spa Party like the one I am currently working on.

Do you enjoy baking? I recently spent a lovely girls' night in with my neighbor. We made shortbread cookies... a Scottish recipe she's been wanting to teach me for quite some time. If you like shortbread cookies you'll have to try her recipe. They'd be perfect for an afternoon tea party.

With fall parties fast approaching, costumes seem to be much in demand. If you know of any young children who would love to help make their own bumblebee or flower costume, instructions can be found at Easy Costumes Kids Can Make. These costumes are so easy and affordable and, best of all, you can help a child make something he/she will be proud of.

Back to the topic of Mad Libs... If you are somewhat computer savvy, you can make your own online Mad Libs by visiting Site Gadgets. Note: You'll have to join in order to use the program.
P.S. If you do create your own Mad Lib, let me know where I can find it. I'd love to try it out.

I've added several new pages in the last month. They include:

Mad Libs
Mall Scavenger Hunts
Christmas Star Puzzle
Baby/Bridal Shower Puzzle Game
Urban Legends Party and Spa Party
Also, Someone sent me some great game suggestions for Girls' Board Games Parties you might want to check out.
