Annie, how about a party supply store? I know that usually have supplies for Hawaiian/tropical theme parties. I've seen them at a Card and Party Factory store.

before I start a thread I wanted to check and see what category the show should go in and if there is already a thread I can't find. I am looking for or will start a thread for the "Who will be the next Pussycat Doll". Can a moderator let me know where it should be? Thanks.

Other Reality shows I think Dipo. We can move it later if it'll fit better somewhere else.

Oldtex, they would probably have a hula skirt but not a hoola hoop in a tropical party store. LOL

Does anybody know what is the first question Ellen DeGeneres asks her first guest of the day as soon as they sit down? She does it every day.

LOL! yes, Ginger, I was answering your question about what her question might be. I was just guessing too. I am glad to hear you are doing well.

Any ideas on what my 7 year old can use to build a diarama of a veterinarian doing his job? (You know, one of those shoebox model things.) He does not have any dollhouse type toys, so we don't have a little table. I am sure we can find a little plastic dog or cat somewhere. I'd rather not have to go out and buy a table or anything. SO I am looking for any creative ideas/substitutions... TIA!

You can buy plastic animals in a bag at any toy store. They usually have dogs, cats, etc. You can always make a table out of a half of a toilet tissue roll, with a flat peice of cardboard pasted on top. Pain that white or cover it with aluminum foil to create a "clinical" look. I'd look online for pictures of a vetrinary clinic to paste onto the sides of the diarama to look like a clinic. Then all you have to find is a vetrinarian.

Thanks you guys! I knew I could count on you! Escapee, I love the idea of finding pictures that would look like the walls of a vet office!!!

Or, you could even stop into a vet office and snap some digital pictures yourself and paste them on the sides of the diarama.

Also, I know he is a boy, but there is a vetrinarian barbie...she's got all the "tools" of the trade. I am going to look and see what kind of stuff like that I have, seeing as how I have girls. Might check on E bay too.

Don't forget popsicle sticks, Julie. They can make some wonderful furniture. We've used all kinds of stuff for diarama's...Dakota's last one was an animal habitat and we went outside and got some dirt, rocks and grass and glued it all on the bottom, lol. Along the same lines...I need help with a school project or some advice about how to handle this. Dakota is entering a project in the science fair next month (it's also a graded class project.) No volcanoes. She wants to do something on photo(gonna spell it wrong)synthesis? and has decided that she'd like to get two plants. One she wants to set in the window, water it, nurture it, give it plant food. The other she wants to put in the closet. Then she wants to take pictures ever so often and track the progress in a log of each plant. Her teacher has already approved this, yet I have a huge problem with it! I kill plants everytime I get one, but I don't do it on purpose and try my best to make them grow nice and healthy. I finally just stopped buying them because I know how it's going to end. I really don't like the idea of killing a plant on purpose for a science project and I'm wondering how she can show the difference between a plant that's been well cared for and in the sun and one that hasn't without killing the plant by sticking it in a closet? If she just sets the second plant out of the sun and waters it, will she still get a big difference between the two? Or maybe another idea where she can do something with a plant? I know she wants to show how well plants thrive or not based on how they're taking care of and the type of light they get, but if I have to I'll convince her to go a completely different direction. Keep in mind she has to do the project entirely by herself, I can take pictures, I can help her with the log (spelling and grammar) but that's all I can do.
