Throw a garden celebration in style by adding some nylon butterflies to your party decorations. These lightweight yet beautiful decorations will make any garden into a wonderland; for children’s parties, they also would go well with a fairy or mythical theme. The multi-purpose butterflies are also going to be a hit with older children since they are such a popular trend right now with regards to adolescent apparel and accessories.
The butterflies are easily attached to a gazebo or your porch furniture. They also can vary in size, depending on whether it is a butterfly theme party or you simply want the area to look more festive than it might if you were to opt solely for traditional decorations.
However, you can still incorporate the usual streamers, ribbons or balloons into the decorations while the butterflies are present. They simply will enhance the fact that the party is outside. Parties taking place outside during the spring months are ideal for this type of decoration.
Finally, if you want to use these butterflies outdoors, you may want to rethink some of the decorations on the butterflies themselves. Remember that most weather during the spring is unpredictable; therefore, you should not ever paint the butterflies with paint that is not waterproof. Most glitter or jewels will hold up in spite of inclement weather, but to be safe, you should always plan ahead if you plan on placing your butterflies in an open area in your garden space, or in an outdoor picnic area.

Every Super Bowl is so much different from the last. My wife and I host parties for our friends and we never know what to expect no matter how much planning we do. Last year was possibly the craziest because we had an array of football party accessories placed around the house before our guests arrived. Everything from foam fingers to branded beer jackets were featured.
My wife, Linda, doesn’t care for football and is not really around for watching the game. She usually sits in the kitchen with her girlfriends drinking wine. Whenever I come in during the commercial breaks a hushed silence presides and I jovially ask, “Everybody having a good time!?” Anyways, our guests started to arrive last year and were blown away by all the decorating I had done the night before.
I had prepared party bags for everyone with their name and a jersey-like number printed underneath it. That took me hours to figure out on the computer, and several more to make sense of how to print things. But I think my hard work really showed through. My neighbor, Bill, picked up his bag right away and dryly remarked, “Still conquering the old Gateway, eh, Marty?” I should explain my name is Marty.
Around half-time I asked Linda to bring out some food, but she said it was my party and a good host serves guests himself. I quietly agreed. Linda had bought some chips, but I knew the Big Bowl requires some Big Eats, so I stayed up all the night before making buffalo wings and steak tacos. It was a huge hit until my youngest son complained the wings were too hot. I sent him to bed without dinner.
While wooding (chopping and collecting wood for use as a heat source for a wood stove or fireplace) it is very important that one pays attention to the type of wood they are collecting. Broad-leaf hardwoods are best for use in stoves, as they burn very cleanly and for a long period of time (a slow burn). Softwood, from conifers and pine trees, also willow and poplar, is fine for firepits, but in an indoor setting it burns too quickly to leave sustained heat impact on the room and also deposits much more soot and dangerous (flammable) grime on the chimney area and flue.
Moisture content is equally important. Certain types of wood are naturally wet, such as poplar with 60% moisture when green or ash at 30%. This water does not disappear when the wood burns. It remains and suppresses the burning, diminishing the heat produced and causing an unburned energy-rich compound known as creosote to be released. This Creosote forms an oily liquid in the chimney which, along with other compounds, can eventually become highly flammable and dangerous.
Dry wood, seasoned to contain less than 15% moisture, is best but can take time to produce. Wise woodsmen typically have staggered areas on their woodpiles, allowing each season of wood 1-4 years to dry out before it is burned. As a general rule, softwood takes two years of storage plus one year covered (and dry) to be ready for burning. Hardwood requires 3-4 years followed by a year of coverage as well. Taking these steps, while time consuming, ensures the best possible heating and maintenance of your stove, and is well worth its impact on your investment.
