Needing Ideas on Games to Play with Family or for gifts?

I love board and card games. They are a new found obsession of mine. I have decided to pass on my experience with board and card games on to the world. I have complied my top 10 favorite board and card games to share with everyone. All of these games have been played by me and some of my friends and family. If you have been wanting to start a family game night or need something to do at the holiday gatherings coming up, search no further. Any of theses games are sure to put a smile on your face and laughter in your house.

If you want any further information on any of these games, such as where to purchase them, please contact me. I would love to talk to you about them or even play a few rounds with you!

Pictures of the Downstairs Entertaining/Gaming Room & My Office

Above is a picture of my "new" office. I am sharing it with my favorite four legged puppies. On the left side of the wall is all my high school graduation stuff.
Above is my book case full of cook books and scrapbooking supplies.
Above is my desk and behind it is more of my scrapbooking stuff. I have so much!

Here is the sitting area by the fireplace. Nice and cozy!
Here is our collection of board games. We LOVE game night!
Here is another view of our board games and the hallway door.
The long view of the room. Some of the folding tables are already set up for board & card gaming. During the Holidays, we will be using the open space for entertaining.

Enjoy the pictures!

Getting Ready for All the Fun!

This week, I have been re-organizing my downstairs rooms to accommodate for all the family gathering that will be coming up soon. I have now officially turned the "dogs" room, which only held the dogs' cages and had plenty of room storage, into my new office/craft room and I have turned the "media" room, which had been my office for awhile but was way too big to just be an office, into the entertaining room. The entertaining room now has space for tables and chairs and has couches set up by the "fire place" (vent-less, gas heater with a fire place front) for lazing about in. Also, our board & card game collection has been moved downstairs into the entertaining room to allow for expansion (we were running out of room to put them all) and easy access to allow for more game nights! ;) Also moving all the board games downstairs has left me with a lot more space in our upstairs pantry/storage closet to keep kitchen stuffs in. So DOUBLE YEAH!

Hopefully I will be able to post pictures soon! I am really proud of all my hard work! And Josh helped too! :)

Organized!
