Host a Twilight Theme Party at Home

twilight party ideas

This past Friday I invited my local Twilight-loving friends over to watch the new DVD that just came out… and I’ve gotta say it was a fun excuse for a party! Although my husband wasn’t really surprised that I was decorating for this get-together, he still asked, “Why all the fuss to watch a DVD?“.

The answer is simple of course: for fun! The way I see it is this: I can sit on my couch in my regular living room and watch a movie any ol’ Friday night, so when the movie lends itself to a fantasy-type theme that’s the perfect excuse for breaking out the twinkle lights and red martini’s, why the heck not? Life is too short not to mix things up when you can… and there’s no reason why we should save all the fun for just birthdays and holidays!

twilight party ideas

The main elements of this particular Twilight party were:

mood lighting created with white twinkle lights & candles
red (blood-themed) cocktails, favors, & drinks
apples & Italian food
framed quotes from the book & movie (pictured at top & below), which I dressed up a bit in photoshop, then printed out & framed. (The framed quote above is a line from the movie that Edward says when he catches an apple in a manner that mimics the book cover.)

Want to use these movie quote designs for your party? Download all of them right here: 8×10 quotes (3.1 M pdf) / 5×7 quotes (6.3 M pdf). *If you have trouble opening the files once downloaded, please see the “Download Tips” note at the bottom of this post.

I designed these downloadable blood-themed drink labels a couple weeks ago and mocked them up digitally in an earlier post, but they look way better in person when wrapped around bottles of red sodas,  juices, and cocktail mixers! (Remove the original labels from the bottles first. Soaking them in hot water for 10-15 minutes first will make this task easier.)

Download these drink labels here (high res pdf format).
Label designs include: i’m thirsty, drink up, type A negative, type B positive, and type O negative

More easy party decor ideas: Fill glass vases with apples, pillar candles, floating candles, and dark red acrylic sea glass. Decorate the vases with satin ribbon, black tulle, sparkly stickers, and movie quotes.

Rhinestone appliques would be appropriate decor for the vases too… anything sparkly is actually a great reference to the “diamond” effect that sunlight creates on the vampires.

Since the changing color of Edward’s eyes are a big part of the story, I thought that would be a good thing to call out with a quote as well. (For those of you that haven’t read the story, black eyes = thirsty/hungry.)

twilight party ideas

If you’re planning to serve dinner at the party, Italian is a great choice for a couple key reasons:
Bella orders Mushroom Ravioli in the Port Angeles restaurant with Edward. (as seen in the picture in the background above, which is from the book Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion – only $9.68 at Amazon.com)
In the movie, the Cullens attempt to make Italian food for Bella when she visits their home for the first time. I framed Esme’s line: “We’re making Italiano for you.” to display on the buffet table by the food.

twilight party ideas

On the drinks table, framed signs read: “thirsty?” and “drink up.” (Both signs are included in the ” 5×7 quotes” pdf.)

Also served, but not pictured here: red wine & red Pomegranate-Cran Martinis served in martini glasses rimmed with a “hard candy blood drip“.

Last but not least are the party favors…red candy in cellophane bags make for fun, super-easy “blood bag” party favors.  These bags are filled with Red Vines (which Bella is also seen eating in the movie) and aptly named Twizzler “Bites“. Both the candy and the cellophane bags are from Target, but there’s also a huge variety of red candies available online.

twilight party ideas

Another fun favor idea: sparkly red lip gloss! These red-shimmer NYC Liquid Lip Shine glosses were only $1.72 each at Target! Display them with a little sign that reads “Vampire Kisses“.

MORE Twilight party ideas:

In my dreamworld – if I had the time/resources/excuse to do even more with this theme – here are some ideas that would top the list (in no particular order):

Use a fog machine and hang umbrellas to give the effect of Forks – rainy and misty.

Include a chocolate fountain in the dessert buffet – featuring white chocolate that’s been dyed red to look like blood, of course!

Serve Red Velvet Cupcakes that look like they’ve been splattered with blood… just like these fabulous creations from Retro Bakery in Las Vegas:

twilight vampire cupcakes

Create napkin rings from glow in the dark plastic fangs… and have more sets of fangs available for photo opps!

Drizzle bowls of popcorn with butter that’s been colored red.

Set up a creative, themed black & red candy buffet…mixed in with “bloody” candy accents and clever details from the movie.

Have the Twilight Movie Soundtrack playing as background music before the movie.

Play some sort of movie trivia or themed game – and give a golden onion as the prize. (This is the same thing that Bella & Edward “won” in Biology; to create: literally spray paint a store-bought onion gold!)

Make “blood drip candles” by drizzling melted was from a red candle on top of a white taper candle, then displaying them in cool candelabras – like this fabulous & elegant Red Acrylic Candelabra from Social Couture.

If this was the theme for a big-budget event, I’d love to recreate the look of the meadow by bringing in lots of foliage and covering some of the tabletops with dewy grass & purple flowers. How fun would THAT be?! And then, of course – there’s that fantastic twinkle light canopy from the prom scene at the end of the movie…sigh…like I said: dream!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You are free to download and print these movie quote & drink label designs for your personal use only. They may be printed from your PC or at any commercial print shop such as FedEx Office/Kinkos.

Download Tips: When files are downloaded to a PC, you might need to “extract” them before they’ll open properly, especially if it looks like the files size looks very small, which means it is probably still compressed. Select the file that won’t open and look for a button at the top of your downloads folder that says “Extract”, then click it.  For some reason this only happens to some and not others – not sure why!

    I’ve been thinking about a Twilight screening party since you posted the drink labels last week! As always, you delivered! I looove the lip gloss. I’ll have to go to target today to snatch some of those up!

    Thank you for all the free downloads! I can’t wait to take a look at all of them and throw my own party! I’ll have to use this again when New Moon comes out in theaters!

    This is incredible! I had my party this past Friday so I’m kinda bummed I didn’t wait so I could totally copy yours. The drink labels were a hit, and I made red velvet cupcakes with white icing and had red tealights all over. A friend even brought a life-size cardboard cutout of Edward so we could all take pictures with him. It was so fun. Thanks for the idea, everyone loved it.

    I wish I’d seen this before my party! I made OME (Oh My Edward) Cupcakes. They were red velvet filled w/ pureed cherry pie filling topped with white chocolate cream cheese frosting sprinkled with edible shimmer dust. They were pale and sparkly on the outside, bloody on the inside just like Edward :)

    Apr 8, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    Thanks Jenn. It was so much fun. I love seeing other peoples parties too. Makes me want to go to all these parties. How much fun would that be!!

  • 21 jenn s.

    Elissa – Agreed! How excited are you for theater pre-parties/after-parties in November?! ;)

    Alicia – Your OME cupcake idea/description is way too clever! Love it!

    OMG! Jen dont even get me started about November. I can hardly stand the wait!!

  • 25 mara wong

    wow..that is so neat :) you probably mentioned this before but where do you get the drink labels? Are they just paper or is it a sticker?

    Apr 9, 2009 at 2:24 am
  • 26 jenn s.

    Mara –
    They’re actually printable labels that I designed – you can click here to download the templates:
    http://www.hostessblog.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/HWTM_twilight_drinklabels.pdf

    I printed them on photo-quality paper then attached them to the bottles with double-sided tape.

    If you need to print a LOT of them, I’d recommend doing it at somewhere like Kinkos or a local copy shop because there’s a lot of black ink coverage and it might end up being cheaper to do it there in the long run than having to buy a lot of ink jet cartridges.

    Jenn :)

    Virginia –
    Here’s the link again: http://www.hostessblog.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/HWTM_twilight_drinklabels.pdf

    If that doesn’t work for you, let me know and I’d be happy to email them to you – the file is a little over 3 Megabytes.

    Apr 9, 2009 at 7:46 am
  • 28 Mara

    Thank you Jenn! :) This is a great idea, even for non-twilight theme parties! I’m throwing my sister a birthday party & since she’s born on Halloween, I’m trying to gather ideas. If you have any suggestions that would be wonderful!

    Star – For the paper, photo quality is best so that it holds the ink well, but make sure it’s not too thick. Text-weight paper (in a matte or gloss finish) is better than cardstock because it will be easier to wrap around the bottles.

    I used 100# text, matte finish for this party. The standard “photo paper” that they use at places like Kinkos is actually perfect.

    Jenn :)

  • 39 Ranai

    What font did you use to create all of the materials? It’s AMAZING! Great job!!!

    Apr 16, 2009 at 10:22 am
  • 40 jenn s.

    Ranai –
    I used “Zephyr” and “Be Safe” for all the labels and quotes.

    Zephyr is the “twilight” looking font and “Be Safe” is the script-y font. You can get Be Safe here:
    http://bellaandedward.com/funfonts.php

    and just google “Zephyr” to find it lots of places…

    Glad you liked everything! :)

    This will be helpful for me to start hosting my own parties. What program(s) did you use to create the twilight bottle labels? What programs are out there to create personal labels? Also what type of paper do you use to print these labels out. Thank you so much for your help.

    Super creative. Even though I personally didn’t like this movie it gave me lots of ideas for movie-themeing a movie I do like for a party. Great, thanks for sharing.

    Hi Coggie –
    The main font (the one that looks like the twilight movie title) is called “Zephyr” and the accent font is called “Be Safe”.

    If you google them you should be able to find them for free! :)

    Fabulous ideas! We’re having a Twilight Pool Party tomorrow so will be modifying quite a bit. One thing we are adding is red-colored (with food color) apple juice — I’m going to put dry ice in it. I used to do this years ago at Holloween parties. It carbonates the apple juice as well as cools it — and of course, the best part is the “fog” it makes.

    Wow, this is absolutely AMAZING! I found some pictures when I was searching the Forks Chamber of Commerce site, found the Cullen House were theres a B&B and these pictures instantly caught my eye! Absolutely amazing! Certainly going to have to use some of your ideas!

    This is such a great list…. I would add a few things… like some of the Twilight cell phone charms on Amazon that look llike Bella’s bracelet (comes in 10 packs for favors), and maybe some of the blook lollipops they sell that are associated with Harry Potter but would work too. I also think glow in the dark fangs are a MUST. They’re cheesy, but great.

    I just had my Twilight-themed 27th birthday celebration this past Friday, and it was a success!

    A huge HUGE thank you, since I utilized the print-outs you provided. All of my friends thought I did a fantastic job. =)

    Thinking about having a New Moon birthday next year for my 28th. Hoping you create some snazzy print-outs then. ;) You are amazing, and extremely creative. I thank you Jenn!

    Sincerely,
    Mesiah

    PS: Here is a link to my photo album on Facebook of my party. Please don’t judge me — I got pretty trashed towards the end of the night. LOL.

    Quick question – did you print the quotes and bottle labels on any specific type of paper, or in a specific way? i.e. certain printer, paper…that kind of thing.

    Thanks in advance!

    Aug 27, 2009 at 2:02 pm
  • 97 jenn s.

    Hi Amber –
    Your best bet would be photo quality paper if you’re printing these at home – it will hold the ink a lot better and make the colors brighter. I had a friend that works at a copy shop (similar to Kinkos) print these for me – and they used a good quality matte paper, similar to the standard color-copy paper used at Kinkos. Good luck! :)

    Aug 31, 2009 at 9:23 am
  • 98 Jennifer

    Hi Jenn- LOVE the party such cute ideas! I have a question..If I wanted to print the labels at Kinkos how do I go about doing it..can I send this link to them and print them when I get there..or do I have to print it out at home and take it there? Thanks SO much!

    Sep 2, 2009 at 9:56 am
  • 99 jenn s.

    Hi Jennifer –

    The easiest way would probably be to send them the links to the pdfs directly, instead of to this post. Here are the direct links:

    http://www.hostessblog.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/twilight_quotes_8×10.pdf

    http://www.hostessblog.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/twilight_quotes_5×7.pdf

    They can download them directly – or you could of course always bring them with you on a disc or thumbnail flash drive too – but they should be able to access them either way.

    Good luck! :)

    Hi Jenn – thank you so much. I have convinced our
    local diner to turn it into the Forks Diner on Halloween night and have a Twilight Night. Our PSU
    students are dressing like the Cullens, even our
    local Police Dept. is giving us a police car to say
    Forks Police Dept. Car dealers are bringing in a
    silver Volvo, Bella’s look-a-like truck Rosalie’s
    convertible and of course, the Jeep of Emmetts
    We have prizes and the Forks Diner Menu
    decorations and are expecting a huge crowd.
    Anyone out there close by come on it’s FREE
    only pay for what you order from menu.
    DuBois, Pennsylvania (DuBois Diner)
    Please list on your site if you can.
    Go to DuBois Diner.com and see the diner.

    Love, Karen
    thanks for some more party tips

    can’t wait for NEW MOON

    I forwarded the links to my local Kinkos store and they won’t print them because of copyright infrigement. Any ideas? Also, can you please post a link to the labels you used twizzler bags? They look different than the ones you used for the drink labels. Did you use sticky labels for those or just tape them on the back? Please let me know, my party is Saturday

    or in smaller packs here:http://www.wholesaleflowersandsupplies.com/store/p/1025-Acrylic-Ice-Crystals.html

  • 105 Crystal

    Hi Jenn, thanks so much!! I appreciate it! I noticed in one of the comments above it says that Kinkos would not allow her to have the labels printed off… do you think Staples would have a problem doing it?

    I also just wanted to say that this is best idea ever, I cannot WAIT to have this party!

    Sep 10, 2009 at 5:39 am
  • 106 jenn s.

    Carmen & Crystal –

    The best way to get around the copyright issue is probably to just download them at home first and bring them to Kinkos on a disc or thumbnail drive.

    Of course if they read the post, it should be obvious that the labels were purposely made available for people to download, but maybe they’ve had issues with that in the past and have strict rules about it. If you bring them in on a disc though, you should be fine ;) Good luck!

    Thank you for sharing what you found. I am outraged by whomever “mommymogul” is because that is just so sketchy to be selling Jenn’s creations in a party lot when people can get it for free here.

    Wow, I don’t know why I’ve got my panties in a bunch about this. Maybe it’s because Jenn’s been so generous about sharing her party ideas with the world for free, and people are ripping her off!

    Lame.

    Thanks again for sharing.

    I was wondering when you put the drink labels on if the drinks were cold? I’m curious about condensation and how that’ll affect my photo paper. Just curious how YOU did it. Thanks!

    Eve –
    Just to clarify – did you just want the scroll motif that’s used in the signs above? I can email it to you in Illustrator or Photoshop format. Let me know which you prefer…

    Katherine – Thanks for the kudos! I was worried about condensation too, so the drinks were a bit cold but not chilly. Most people poured the drinks into ice-filled cups to actually drink them, so it was mainly about the initial display :)

    Another quick question for ya! :)

    Twizzler Bites – did you just separate out a big bag of Twizzlers & put them into individual bags? What kind of bags did you use? Are they sandwich bags or ziplock bags?

    Oct 2, 2009 at 5:42 am
  • 130 jenn s.

    Hi Katherine –

    I used clear cellophane “treat bags” from Target. They were in the gift wrap section. I just filled the bottom 1/3 of the bags then rolled the extra over and taped it down.

    And yes – I just divided up a big bag of Twizzler Bites, which I got at Target too :)

    Hey everyone! So we are deciding to throw a new moon premiere/birthday bash, and I have a few questions :]

    –would it be tacky if we had both red & beige lip glosses to have vampire & werewolf kisses?

    –any ideas for guy “goodies”? We have some male friends coming.

    –going along w/ the New Moon theme, we are trying to make it both Edward & Jake (well duh, it’s the theme of the book & movie!) I need some more ideas, food, decorations & etc, any ideas, I’ll take ‘em.

    –Should I play music in the background (I have the twilight soundtrack) or play the new moon trailers on a loop??

    –I need some help planning “activities”. Everyone at my party is ages 17-22 so I don’t know if it would be lame to have activities or lane not to… And what sorts of activities?

    Thanks a bunch everyone!!!!

    I had an AMAZING! SWEET 16!!
    we had ‘The Great Twilight Race’ lots of prizes.. posters, books, jewelry and random girly products.

    A game we had was Red Jelly shots for ‘newborns’. you have to eat as many shots… using chopsticks and not being able to touch the cup. It was VERY messy but ALOT of fun!

    we also had best dressed. It was dress up but some couldn’t afford to dress up so we made the theme colors black, red and white. We had people dressed up as the volvo! very funny!!

    ALOT more games to if you want me to tell you details please ask and I’ll e-mail you or something.

    Thanks !! :)

  • 139 jenn s.

    Britni –
    Yes I am! I’m shooting some New Moon party ideas on October 23, so I’ll have them done before then. If there are any specific quotes that you think are especially important to include, please let me know :)

    Kerry –
    I mainly use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I’m a graphic designer though, so I can use these programs for work, which justifies the high cost. You could also get away with using Photoshop LE – a smaller, much less expensive version of Photoshop, if you’re mainly going to be using it to make labels!

  • 140 Crystal

    Hey Jenn! I am throwing a New Moon Premiere Party & Birthday Bash November 14th and I was wondering if you wouldnt mind doing some specific quotes for me?

    “Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find.”

    “The hardest part is feeling… out of control. Feeling like I can’t be sure of myself—like maybe you shouldn’t be around me, like maybe nobody should. Like I’m a monster who might hurt somebody.”

    “Hunting vampires is fun. It’s the best part of this whole mess.”

    “Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?”

    “You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.”

    “I’m surprised they left you behind. Weren’t you sort of a pet of theirs?”

    Thank you!!!

    jenn, im having a new moon party, and was wondering if you could include these quotes;

    forbidden to remember, terrified to forget. bella page 117

    it will be as if i’d never existed. edward page 71

    I thought I’d explained it clearly before. Bella, I can’t live in a world where you don’t exist. edward page 509

    I cannot be without you, but I will not destroy your soul. edward page 518

    I’d rather die than be with anyone but you. bella page 45

    Which is tempting you more, my blood or my body? bella page 52

    Hi Everyone –
    I’m going to work on the New Moon quotes sometime next week. I will do my best to incorporate the most popular/favorite quotes, but I can’t facilitate everyone’s individual requests due to the volume of quote suggestions that have been coming in. Hope you can understand!

    Cheers,

    Did you design the flourishes or can they be found somewhere online where I can buy/download them? I am designing some invites for a party coming up and even though I found some flourishes, I just don’t like them as much.

    I’ve looked at a lot of party ideas, but I was surprised no one has said to dip strawberries in dark chocolate. Yummy and it goes with the black/red theme!

    Oct 14, 2009 at 10:13 pm
  • 151 jenn s.

    Hi Teresa -

    The paper is just “photo quality” with a matte finish. You can find it at most office supply stores and probably even Target and Walmart!

    I’d recommend having these printed at some place like Kinkos though (I did too). There is so much black ink that it’s probably cheaper to do that than to go through 1-2 ink cartridges on a home printer. Less of a hassle too :)

    Cheers,
    Jenn

I noticed that you mentioned to another blogger that you will be putting together some New Moon stuff. You said you’d have it ready by the 23rd. I have looked around on your site and haven’t found it. Just wondering if you have posted anything yet! Please let me know! I want to get my shopping done and planning started! I am so very excited!

    Hi Jenn -
    I’m not 100% sure what that bakery used, but it looks like raspberry sauce to me – the kind restaurants use to decorate decadent desserts (and sometimes even drizzle on the plates).

    Here are a few examples:

    You could always use food coloring to make the color even darker!

    Hey Jenn. I noticed you were going to do some new moon quotes. No pressure, I was just wondering so I could add them to the ones I already have from the twilight party I had for the new moon premiere.

    Hi Carmen -
    I’m working on them as we type! Was hoping to have them uploaded today, but it will probably be tomorrow… so much going on lately, it’s been hard to keep up!

    The New Moon quotes are a little different than the Twilight ones though – I’m designing them to match the colors/vibe of the New Moon movie posters… stay tuned!

    Hi Jenn – I am trying to download your 8×10 twilight quotes for my twilight/new moon party next week. Adobe is saying that the file is damaged when I try to open it. I have successfully opened the 5×7 quotes and the drink labels. Can you email me the 8×10 quotes or do yo have another link that works please??? Also, have you posted your New Moon quotes yet? Thanks so much! And you are very talented and love your stuff!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Jenn,

    Thanks for your great ideas. I am having a New Moon party and was wondering when you were going to blog about your ideas for that. I am not very creative, so I need all the help I can get! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

    Jenn-
    Can’t wait to see what you have instore for us. I am excited that your new design is around the new moon colors and motif. My party is next week and I hope I am able to use some of it at my party. I will check in, I know you are very busy and much appreciated for your time and skill.

    Hello HWTM!!!

    I just wanted to thank you for the Twilight theme inspiration and your signs. I used them for a friend’s Bachelorette party. She is obsessed with Twilight (as we all are) so I called it the “Breaking Dawn Bachelorette – Party ’til the sun comes up.” I gave a way red satin wristlets that included a note from Edward (”Be Safe”) and “No Blood, No Foul Mini first aid kits” and “Vampires get headaches? Ibuprofen packs” for any clumsiness and hangovers. I got a life size cut out of Edward for pictures and “Twilighted” the room out with your quotes, candles, red ribbon, and pictures of the bride to be.

    I took tons of pictures of the set up here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=40514&id=1352945210&l=107fec9823

    Thanks again!

    I was so excited when I found this webpage. I am hosting a Twiparty for my friends and the quotes in frames is a genius and inexpensive decoration idea. I can’t wait to see their faces when they come through the door! Thank you!!!

    Had my Twilight/New Moon party last night – I used Jenn’s quotes and ideas and added some ideas of my own – check it out – we played Twilight Jeopardy and Twilight Bingo and I made Edward and Jacob coaster tiles and gave them away as prizes. I also gave each person a ruffled tulip with a love note from Edward or Jacob (depending on who was their favorite). We had a blast and Jenn’s quotes really made my place look amazing :)

    Did you use a different kind of label other than the drink labels for the Twizzler bags?

    Nov 10, 2009 at 5:31 pm
  • 182 Carmen

    Becky P,
    There are twilight downloads on your bookshelf that I do not see in the downloads on this web page. One has a parrot tulip in the background and the big on on the top shelf, where did you get those?
    Great looking party!!!

    Those are actually the new printables for New Moon that I posted last week :) You can get them right here:

    Katherine -
    The labels on the twizzler bags are the same labels as the drinks. I just trimmed the edges down to fit better on the cellophane bags.

    HI
    I am trying to host a new moon party..but I’m completely clueless to computers.

    My question is what do you mean by “You may need to direct third party printers to this note before they’ll agree to print them for you.” as far as getting them printed from Kinkos.

    Nov 11, 2009 at 4:37 pm
  • 185 jenn s.

    Hi Mary –
    This only applies if you ask Kinkos to download the files directly from this post. If you download them first yourself and put them on a thumbnail drive or disc to bring into Kinkos, you’ll be fine.

    But if you ask Kinkos to go to the blog, then download and print the designs directly from the post, they sometimes worry about copyright issues, so I put that note at the bottom of the post to let the employees know that I’ve given permission for other people to use these designs and that it’s okay to print them for you.

    Hope that all made sense ;)

    Nov 11, 2009 at 5:11 pm
  • 186 Mary

    Hi Jenn!
    Thank you sooo much for taking your time to clarify things for me! I’m looking forward to using the new moon printables for my daughters b-day party. Hopefully I can pull it off without embarassing her.

    thanks again! =)

    Hi Tammy and Rhonda – I’m sorry about the photos. They are too big to send via email and I have been trying to figure out how to make them smaller into a zip with no luck. I see, Rhonda, that you have your pics on flicker – I think I’ll try that tonight and see if that works. Sorry again for taking so long.

    Nov 18, 2009 at 2:57 pm
  • 197 Rhonda

    That’s ok Becky. I know it’s difficult and busy at times. I chose Flickr to share with the guests since I’d used it before. There’s also picasaweb.google.com and many others. I was just curious as to what others have done. I forgot to take additional pics that show more of what we did, so this is what I ended up with. We were in a hurry when I took them. Anyways, hope those sites help you.

    Flicker said I did not have access to your pics. Any idea what I’m not doing right?

    Tammy –
    I’m not sure why. I just clicked on it and it took me right to the site. If you want to send me your email and I can try to share it with you that way. My email is crnielson@comcast.net.

    Nov 18, 2009 at 8:09 pm
  • 201 jenn s.

    Is it possible that there’s a “privacy” setting turned on for that album where only your flickr contacts can see it? That’s the only think I can think of…

    Nov 19, 2009 at 10:09 am
  • 202 Rhonda

    Hmmm. I have it set to public so everyone should be able to view it. I’ll have to check again later and see if there is something else I’m missing. sorry. Hopefully I can get it fixed so everyone who’s interested can view it.
