1) made a balloon at a party that required me to break the balloon, it didn't break the first couple of times I tried so I quickly made a magic wand out of a 160 and gave it to the child. I asked them to tap the balloon 3 times and say a magic spell -and it worked. The child loved it and a magic wand was passed down the line to each child- I think I will use that one again.

2) it doesn't matter how many different models you know if all the boys want to be minions with swords that is what you are going to be doing for the rest of the party. On a plus point i managed a new design- a minion hat on the spot, it only takes a couple of minutes and uses 1 grey 260 and a scrap of 350 white for the eyeball.
