We instead made little seed balls and gave some to each of the children – it's just coconut coir, clay, plant food and flower seeds or leafy green veggie seeds, rolled into a ball. Incorporating an activity that happens at the party – cookie decorating or a gardening activity – is a great alternative to party bags."Įrin: "We didn't do party bags at all at my son's birthday. "This year, for her eighth birthday, we painted T-shirts as an activity – it's something the kids could take home and continue to use. When my eldest turned four, I made massive batches of playdough from scratch, added some biodegradable glitter and put them into glass jars that I'd saved. Nicole: "With party bags, try to avoid the cheap plastic junk that breaks almost as soon as you get home. When they die, I'll probably make fabric bunting."Įrin: "You might also pause to think about what the party setting needs – does it even need that many decorations?" Nicole: "We've got colourful paper bunting on string that we fold up and reuse. ( Supplied: Erin Rhoads) How can parents make party bags and decorations more sustainable? Reusable party kits helped avoid at least 34,000 single-use items being used last year. It was about slowly realising that even if something is compostable or recyclable, it's better not to be creating new things all the time." ![]() Nicole: "I previously used bamboo compostable plates but have now replaced these with a big party box full of plastic items that I can wash and reuse. Places like schools, childcare centres and toy libraries often use it as a fundraising tool." I give mine out for free to my local community, and it's booked out every weekend. "Everything's in one box and it's from someone within your community, so you can just drive or walk over there, collect it, use it, wash it and return it. "Most kits listed on the Party Kit Network website will contain reusable plates, bowls, cups, a jug, some serving bowls, and also sometimes reusable party decorations, like bunting, and party games, like reusable pass-the-parcel bags. They're often single-use and come in plastic wrapping. ( Supplied: Erin Rhoads) What's the best way to swap single-use plates, cups and cutlery for reusables?Įrin: "The most wasteful parts at a kids' party are the disposables – the plates and cups, and possibly also bowls, cutlery and napkins. I chatted with Erin - and also Nicole Lutze, a Sunshine Coast mum and sustainable living blogger - for tips on how parents can host children's parties that don't cost the earth.Įrin's party kit contains reusable cups, plates and other useful party supplies, which she sourced from the op shop. ![]() Usually, it's a parent helping other parents in a joyful and fun way," Erin explained. "It's an obvious solution to single-use plastic waste. Australia now has 98 party kits listed on the network website, and Aussies borrowing these kits avoided at least 34,000 single-use items last year. So, Erin brought the network Down Under – and it's taken off, despite launching during a pandemic. ![]() Hoping to spread the idea further, Erin stumbled upon the UK's Party Kit Network - a grassroots initiative to make kids' parties more sustainable via a shared network of reusable tableware kits. The mum-of-two had previously op-shopped a kit full of reusable cups, plates and other useful party bits and bobs, which she'd happily been loaning free to her local community. Two years ago, amid Melbourne's pandemic lockdowns, zero-waste author Erin Rhoads got thinking about children's parties - and the waste they too often create. The higher the price, the more likely that a signature is or ought to be required. It is common for businesses to email their customers a quote and then ask for an indication of acceptance via email.

Terms and Conditions: Instead of comments that just specify payment requirements, you might need to spell out other terms and conditions.If you were converting a sales invoice into a sales quote, use the "Salesperson" field list who prepared the price quote. ![]() You could include a "Prepared by:" field below the address, and/or use the comment at the bottom of the template. You want your customer to know that they have a real person they can contact. Unlike an invoice which is a bill for a sale that has already taken place, a price quote is a tool for completing a sale. ![]() Prepared By: Your customer will want to know who they can contact if they have questions.But on the quote, you should label it "Quote #" to avoid confusing the customer into thinking that the quote is an invoice. Quote #: Depending on your quote and invoice tracking system, the quote # and the associated invoice # might end up being the same thing.Expiration Date: A quote should include an "Expiration Date" or "Valid Until Date", after which the quote is no longer valid (meaning that the vendor is not bound to the prices quoted after that date).Step 4: Press “Stop” icon to save the screenshots then go “Actions” > “Open latest capture” to review them.A price quote is almost exactly the same as an invoice except for the following 5 points: Step 3: Press “Start auto capture” on the drop-down menu of “Actions”.

Always a fan favorite, the event will run from November 8 into mid-December. To kick off the update Crowfall is bringing back the ‘Decapathon’ event. Added more quality-of-life elements from player requests.Significant improvements for the Eternal Kingdom and Crafting games.Expanded our Crow recruit “buddy” program to provide more rewards to the buddy and player who invites them to the game.Campaign rewards for the guilds/factions which are much more valuable. ![]() New map features to support a host of new navigation and performance improvements.Dramatically improved chat user experience featuring player configurability and overall utility.In an open world game, it is extremely difficult to encourage what seems like a fair fight from a small guild perspective.”Īdditionally, the update streamlines the initial new player experience and adds a ‘fast pass’ new player experience for the impatient experts to get them to PvP as soon as possible. “While that is definitely fun for a certain subset of the audience, there are other groups of players who want to be able to play with their smaller guilds and not get obliterated. “Crowfall was created primarily with the idea of large-scale PVP siege combat as the focus,” said Walton. The game’s Alliance system has been expanded so smaller guilds can band together to take on even the biggest guilds on an even footing. Guilds of 10-25 can affect the game outcome by holding small forts, mines, and outposts and denying them to other factions. Guilds of 20-50 people can now siege and hold forts in Crowfall without being overrun by bigger guilds. We listened to our player feedback and we are delivering what they have asked for.” Now we’ve added smaller team size PvP options to accommodate the guilds our players are in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Crowfall was developed with large-scale PvP (100s of players) siege combat as a key goal and we achieved that. We’ve streamlined the new player experience and we are now allowing for smaller scale PvP experiences. “We’ve also made some very significant upgrades to the game in this latest update. “We know that the free trial will be a huge draw for many MMO players,” said Gordon Walton, ArtCraft’s executive producer. The new service comes as ArtCraft launches a major update today for Crowfall. After that, players purchase the game for the low price of $14.99 and play forever.

Buckingham Palace announced Prince Edward would be given the Duke of Edinburgh title late last week, which was held by Prince Philip for more than 70 years until his death in 2021. Sky Studios Elstree will house 13 sound stages and Sky has said it will generate an additional £3B ($3.6B) of production investment in the UK creative sector during its first five years. Last Thursday, he toured the site, meeting local charity partners and young talent, before unveiling a plaque on Stage 5 to commemorate the significant moment for the UK’s film and TV sector as it marks the largest brand-new studio facility to open in the UK for decades. The former Earl of Wessex, who is a Patron of the Production Guild of Great Britain, headed to the Hertfordshire film and TV studio the day before he took on his father Prince Philip’s former title. Prince Edward, the new Duke of Edinburgh, has opened a sound stage at Sky Studios Elstree. New Duke Of Edinburgh Opens Sky Studios Sound Stage ![]() Not a big deal, but the photo should reflect reality. I noticed on the website the zippers were covered in pink leather, but in person they are not so the white zippers are exposed. Minor cons: Once again, I'm big into aesthetics. The actual base seems like it is steel and not plastic. The armrests move back and forth, side to side, and up and down. The headrest is attached to the actual chair itself - no ugly strap. It also has this beautiful white stitching that makes a swirl like pattern that adds a nice touch. ![]() I assumed it was just printed, but I was wrong. I didn't realize the cat itself was embroidered into the leather. Now onto the actual chair Pros: Assembly was fast, quality is great. Shipping was fast and a signature is required. Someone stated they had a 5 year old chair and their steel back broke and they honored it through their lifetime warranty and gave them a brand new chair. Lastly, after reviewing their warranty and confirming through a few reddit posts it seems DXRacer honors their warranty very well. DXRacer was $438 with the Valentine's sale. Secret lab was also $638 after taxes and shipping. Unfortunately, Secret Lab only have a fabric option for pink and that is not something I wanted to risk staining. I'm very big into matching and I wanted a pink chair. I do wish Nintendo would do another spinoff game for the Switch, even bringing Pocket Camp to the system would be cool.I was back and forth between DXRacer and Secret Lab. The thoughts expressed here are mine and mine alone. More Thoughts From Me is an opinion column. But I will continue to play and love this game until the new one pops up. We’ll be waiting years for the next Animal Crossing game to come out. And the likelihood of a new Animal Crossing being available at system launch is…well…its not high. So we likely won’t see another Animal Crossing until after a new system comes out. Nintendo only does one AC game per system. Of course, as a “hardcore” AC fan, I’ll continue playing the game until a new one comes out!Īnd I’m sure some people are already wondering when the next Animal Crossing will be out. This game doesn’t punish you for not playing as much as the older games did. You can play it as much or as little as you want. Animal Crossing is supposed to be a laid-back experience. It may not be as exciting as the early days of the game, but that okay. ![]() What do I do in the game? I talk to my animals, check out my town, and sometimes play online with friends. I still play Animal Crossing New Horizons every day. I could check them now and my animals would be like “where have you been?!” I won’t do that! No way. My New Leaf towns that I never play are still going on without me. There is nothing else to do in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Three years have gone by and I know most people act like the game is over. When it received its final huge update, it was absolutely a 10 out of 10 game. In hindsight, as I mentioned elsewhere, I should’ve only given it a 9.5. I was a huge Animal Crossing fan reviewing the newest game. It was, of course, a completely biased review. We had a great time starting our islands! Most amazing of all was that I got to review the game! I will say that the arrival of Animal Crossing New Horizons gave my Dad and I a joyful moment in a time when we were generally not happy. And we continued to play New Leaf until the new game came out.Ģ020, as you all know, was a complete mess. When the game was delayed until 2020, well, we weren’t so happy. When Nintendo announced Animal Crossing New Horizons, my dad, mom, and I were all extremely excited. Let me talk about all that and how I feel about the game now. And guess what?! I reviewed the game back in 2023! Whoa. I’ve been playing since the Gamecube Animal Crossing. As you may or may not know, I’m a huge Animal Crossing fan.
