Doctor Who birthday party success!  
Well it appears the party has gone well. Those boys who didn't know the Doctor, watched enthusiastically the selected episodes my son chose. Those who knew about the Doctor, enjoyed watching the episodes as well. Also, my attempt at a Dalek cake turned out better than I expected! Here are some pictures of my chocolately good creation!

Doctor Who birthday party  
 My 7 year old son is a big fan of Dr. Who. This is tough being that we live here in the US and there isn't much DR WHO stuff to be found....Oh sure there are the overpriced toys, (a special thanks to Santa for bringing them!) but try to have a Dr Who themed party, and search for party supplies, well now that is where the fun begins.

So after realizing that to order them from the UK it would cost around $60USD for the shipping and $50USD for the desired items, I figured I would try to be clever and MAKE them! Here is what I came up with:

a TARDIS made from an old water heater box I got from a plumbing company
Dalek (Bingo) game
Dr Who character masks
Dr Who Party Garland

Our next project will be a Dalek costume for Halloween....MORE FUN!

Companion Favor Bag  
What started out as a comment, ended up as an actual thing. I was so inspired I just had to put together a Doctor Who themed favor bag.

The Companion Favor Bag


The favor includes 3D glasses, Psychic Paper, a Tardis key, Cosmic dust, and a Tardis to hold it all.

Notes, materials and 'how tos' )

I'm thinking the favor might need something else like a glow stick. Suggestions are welcome.

Birthday Ideas  
My soon-to-be-7 daughter wants a Doctor Who birthday this year. What all ideas can anyone come up with for her birthday? It's at the end of March. Most other kids here in the U.S. will have no idea who Doctor Who is, but I want to make it fun for my girl.

Please make all kinds of suggestions, mild to wild, to give me ideas. Thanks!
