Eliana’s Diva Rockstar Party Sunday, June 28

Hey Young Chefs!

It’s me rockin out on my guitar! I’m having a Diva Rockstar Party! I mailed out big guitar invitations and they are really cool! At my party we had makeup, hair and nails. My sister Soleil is a makeup artist and she is fantastic at doing makeup. Here is a picture of my sister doing Bienelyn’s makeup.

Here is a picture of Soleil and I together.

In this picture Soleil has beautiful pink and purple leopard eye makeup. I have a guitar on the right side of my face. Here is a picture of the pretty table that we set up.

On the table we have hot pink, black and zebra table clothes, champagne flutes, flowers, a pink and black feathered boa, four glass blocks, candles, glitter star sunglasses and even guitar shaped glitter all over the table too! At the top, by the flowers, is the invitation. Here is a picture of the goody bag.

We put together an awesome goody bag. It has stickers, a blowup microphone, necklace, bracelet, body jewels, eyeshadow, lip gloss and even Eliana’s Diva Party Mix CD! WOW! What a goody bag. The goody bag and all the things in it had the girls’ names written in it. Here is a picture of my friends and the cake.

This cake is made out of mini cupcakes and it is in the shape of a guitar with 9 candles. those cupcakes were delicious! Yum !Yum! Here is a picture of all the girls being rock stars.

I received all kinds of cool birthday gifts Nana, PawPaw, Uncle Gary and the kids all gave me guitar hero and Lady Gaga CD for my birthday! By the way I LOVE Lady Gaga. Here is a picture of the birthday gift.

Each girl got their own CD an album with their face on it and a title for it too! Here is the picture of my album cover.

My album cover name is Divalicious!

Cool Kids Cook, have awesome parties, and get creative in the kitchen!

Bon Appetit, Eliana

Eliana’s Spookover – Saturday, October 18, 2008

Hey Young Chefs!

Saturday was the night of my Spookover! 7 friends came to my house for a spooky sleepover. We were treated to ghoulish games, frightening food, creepy crafts, and spooky stories. The above picture is me dressed up as a pirate girl – Argh! Below, you can see all the costumed cuties!

First, we did the ghoulish guessing game where we had to guess which monster was pinned to our backs. Then we did a cool costume contest. I won first place. The princess bride and the hip hop dancer won second place.

Next, we played “Pin the Hat on the Witch.”

The “Creepy Clothes Race” was so much fun. We had to race and put on different clothes – shirt, shorts, gloves, scarf, cape and hat. My team didn’t win but we laughed a lot.

The last game was “The Mummy Wrap.” We were divided into 2 teams. The smallest person on each team had to be the mummy. The other team members had to wrap the mummy with toilet paper. We had to finish by the end of the song “Monster Mash.” Afterwards, we had a toilet paper explosion.

Check out our terrifying table display. We had Jack-O-Jam cookies, bloody pigs in the blanket, petrifying pizza party pinwheels, and popcorn chicken parts. Fun and frightening food!

Look at the bubbling Witches Brew! (Here’s a secret recipe: it’s just one 2-liter bottle of 7Up and 10 scoops of Lime Sherbet ice cream).

After we ate, we started making crafts. We made Batty Sock bats out of foam, googly eyes, socks, and Fiberfill.

After that, we made mummies out of strips from an old t-shirt wrapped around toilet paper rolls with googly eyes.

Then we made boo bags from white paper lunch bags, markers, stickers, and chenille sticks.

After crafts, we headed outside to the patio for marshmallow roasting and spooky stories. My favorite story was “Blood Red Lips.”

Finally, after spooky stories, we set up our sleeping bags on the living room floor and watched Ghostbusters. My cousin, Camrynn; my friend, Bienelyn; and I were the last ones to fall asleep after the movie was over.

I loved having a Spookover! It was tons of fiendish fun with a bunch of goblin girls. I can’t wait to do it again! Have a spooktastic time with your friends.

Throw a party because cool kids cook and get creative in the kitchen!

Bon Appetit, Eliana
