| Hi, Last night we celebrated my daughter's ninth birthday. We used the
"Ghost of Marnie" party and it was a blast. The guests were extremely excited
about the party as soon as they received their invitations; it was the "talk"
of the third grade. The girls arrived with great anticipation, got into character
immediately and proceeded to have a wonderful evening. Several of them went
home asking their mothers to be "Aunt Mattie" and to have a ghost party.
Thank you for the creative ideas........now I will start looking for a party
for my soon to be seven year old's party. -Georgia |

| The Ghost of Marnie Andersen skit was for my daughters 12th birthday
party. The party was a great success. The kids really got into their characters.
I provided the costumes and jewelry. We were unable to have the skit as a
sleepover, so we watched the Haunted Mansion movie by Disney as "sleeping"
instead. The croquette game became an attraction for the neighborhood - the
kids playing in their formal dresses with high heel shoes. -Lori |
