Answer
You can do a spa party. Ask your mom or older sister/cousin/aunt if they will come and do your and your friends' hair, make-up, manicures and pedicures. If not, pair up and do it for each other. Tell your friends to bring their favorite polish and flip flops so they don't ruin their pedicures. Then have lots of snacks and junk food, etc.
No matter what party you do, you can set up an ice cream bar. Get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and lots of toppings. Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and marachino cherries. Go to the dollar store and get those tall, plastic sundae glasses and everyone make their own sundaes. You can even get the bowls that are made out of waffle cones at the grocery store.
You can do a Hollywood Movie party. Get some red fabric and lay it at the entrance of your house and on both sides put some solar lights if you have them and your friends will be entering on the red carpet. Take their pictures as they're coming in.
Go to the dollar store and get some feathery boas, sunglasses, etc. Then at the craft store get some blank frames. You can get the boas at the craft store too. At the dollar store or Blockbuster, get those cardboard popcorn buckets and some popcorn and big boxes of movie candy. Rent your favorite movies.
Hang a white sheet somewhere in your house. You and your friends can pose with your boas and props and take pictures in front of the sheet. The sheet will block out any distractions behind you. Like when the stars stop on the red carpet in front of that white area and take pictures, you and your friends can pose and have fun.
At movie time, everyone gets their own popcorn bucket and pass around the candy! Tell your friends to bring their blankets and pillows to lounge out during the movie.
After the movie is the "after" party with the food and cake and ice cream. Have whatever food you like, whether it's pizza, a taco bar with all the toppings, etc, and cake and ice cream.
Then you and your friends can decorate those blank frames. Paint them, and at the craft store in the scrapbooking section they have tons of movie stickers, you can put them on there and then your friends have something to bring home from the party and put their favorite picture in.
You can also take advantage of the nice weather and do an outdoor party. Have a bbq with hamburgers and hot dogs and have the toppings too. Do tomatos and lettuce with ketchup for the burgers and mustard and saurkrut for the hot dogs. You can do baked beans and french fries too.
Then you can set up a volley ball net and play volleyball and badmitten.
Have waterballoon fights.
Do relay races, potato sack races, three legged races, wheelbarrel races where one person stands and holds the other person's legs and you race to the finish line.
Then you can do a pie eating contest, but instead of pie, do whipped cream in a pie tin.
You can also get an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it with water, break into 2 teams and have a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the pool!
You can also do a sit down dinner party. Talk to your mom and either send out for food or with your mom, cook the meal from appetizers to dessert. Set the table in a formal manner from the cloth tablecloth to cloth napkins, etc and have a sit down dinner party with your friends.
I hope some of these ideas helped and that you have a great party and a very Happy Birthday

what is cottage life in canada?
elvis
i heard its the best life style
Answer
Cottage Life, aside from being the title of a magazine, involves having a cottage, and spending time there, away from your home. Some Canadians have year-round cottages, but most have seasonal cottages.
My cottage is seasonal. Because it is so far away from my home, we typically get there every second or third weekend, spring through fall, for just 2 or 3 days at a time. Most years that means we only actually use the cottage 15-30 days. But some years, I've been able to stay for the entire summer. A couple of years ago, I lived at my cottage from the end of June 'til the middle of October. This past summer (2009), I stayed at the cottage from August 'til the middle of September.
Cottage life for me is extremely relaxed. I own a small island, and my nearest neighbours are at least a kilometre away, by water. I'm at the end of a closed bay, which is all uninhabited Native/Crown land. It is very quiet and peaceful, save the occasional boat of fishermen.
I wake up in the morning and do this and that before getting dressed. I may go swimming or do some gardening. This summer, I made a habit of sitting out on a lounge chair on one of the decks that overlooks the bay. At 3pm, most of that deck is covered by shade, so it's perfect for sitting out and reading a book. At or around 3pm most days, I'd grab something to read and my Harman Kardon portable iPod docking station, and head out to my spot on the deck. (I have to avoid the sun because I'm very fair.) I carried that habit over to my home, when I returned. I live in a beach house on Lake Ontario and have a rear patio with loungers and outdoor "sofas" right next to the water. Because it was so enjoyable and relaxing at the cottage, I would do my afternoon reading session,s listening to music, back here at home. (I don't know why I never did that before.)
At the cottage, we do some boating (in my case, it's our mode of transportation, as opposed to "pleasure boating"), and have bonfires or barbecues. There's a lot of florae and faunae to observe. If I fished, there'd be good fishing to be had.
When we have guests, they tend to bring out all the toys we never seem to use, ourselves. There's an inflatable water trampoline, a dingy, a canoe, windsurfers, boogie boards, and more. Oh, my husband does spend as much free time as possible in the hammock. (There's never enough free time, though.)
Despite the perception of cottages, there is always A LOT of work to be done. The very nature of a residence that goes weeks, sometimes months, without any tending means the few days you are there are full of chores. There are always repairs to done, the lawn has to be mowed, the lawn and gardens weeded, and any renovations to be planned and carried out. (If I have to haul one more load of lumber to the island, I may give it all up!)
When it gets dark, I tend to retreat indoors, to watch television or a DVD, listen to music, or whatever. I had a late-night visitor this past summer, in the form of a metre-long milk snake. It's the first time a snake has made its way into the cottage. I spotted it slithering towards the television, one night. I like snakes, so I was mostly consumed with getting pictures of it. I was pretty excited. Too bad my husband was back at home, at the time. He always misses all the cool stuff.
Well, I'm sure that's TMI. ;-)
In short, having a cottage is nice, although it is a luxury, and expense and, at times, seems like more of a hassle than it's worth. But when I'm there, I wish I could stay longer.
