An "Unfortunate" Event

My Lemony Snicket party was a success, I think. I had lots of fun ideas and they translated well. (That is always been my biggest problem - things get lost in translation!) Well, this was my first big library event (that I've hosted) and I know that the kids really had a good time. Tim told me he overheard a kid say "This library party rocks!" Oh yeah. It's because I'm a rockin' librarian.

We had everything from unfortunate magnetic poetry, crazy disguise making, a "lemony" lottery, puzzles and brainteasers that were Klaus-worthy, a Violet invention craft, wacky snacks, a pair of "painted ladies," a disguise training booth, games of chance, and even some really rotten "misfortunes." And to top it off, I had some really great people helping out. (Thanks a million library ladies and Tim!!!) Check out the pictures from this awesome party here.

What a great page! I love stumbling upon blogs of fellow librarians. I am doing a Lemony Snicket party next Thursday (11/16) and I just love your ideas! Would it be possible for you to e-mail me some more detailed information? I am doing a trivia game, eyeball craft, eyeball relay race, but I love some of your ideas. For example I was wondering what the fortunes said in the Voluntary Fateful Destiny Jar of Misfortune...and how did you do the Lemony Lottery? I have a copy of the Beatrice Letters to give away and I want a creative way to give it away! If you have time, my e-mail address is redscountrygirljen@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance and again...great ideas!
