Hi, everyone!!

I got a baked potato theme from here and put it, along with others, in my theme binder. Someone booked a party from it. If anyone has done this PLEASE let me know logistically how you did it. :confused: It should be a big show. She lost everything in Katrina and is inviting other people who have lost all their stuff as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
