RSVP below to let us know if you can make it so we can be sure to have food and drinks for all! We got a shuffleboard table for Christmas last year and we love it! We immediately set it up and invited everyone over to play. What we quickly discovered, however, is that shuffleboard is very similar to pool, or darts, or cornhole, or any of a number of other games. What possible similarity could exist between all these games? Simple, with all these games, each bar, or backyard, or locale has their own slightly different set of rules. Shuffleboard is no different. And, now that we have shuffleboard at our house, we needed to establish our house rules! We decided that a cool, funky, graphically-interesting chalkboard with our chosen rules would be the way to go. We'd hang it on the wall over the table and the result would be the bee's knees! So, in mid-May I embarked on creating our perfect custom house rules chalkboard. In mid-October I finished. Follow the simple steps below to make your own:  STEP 1: Select your chalkboard This was easy enough. We found a weathered-wood chalkboard from someone on Etsy. When it arrived, my suspicions were confirmed: I easily could have made this myself with some backer-board, chalkboard paint, and an old wood pallet. I would later find out that the total scope of work involved meant that it was probably a good thing that I took the easy way out on this step.  STEP 2: Create your design/ layout This step was a lot of fun for me. I integrated the Kroeger Schloss logo along with a variety of fonts that I sourced from across the internet. Finding a set of rules that would work was easy. Distilling them down to the minimum number of characters (so as to minimize my work!) was a bit more difficult. In the end, the rules and their phrasing came out great and I really think the overall design and layout has the look we were after as well.
It's that time of year again. The time to stare doe-eyed at the calendar in shocked amazement as each and every waking moment of free time is rapidly consumed and blocked off. Work parties, crowded malls, Christmas decorations... the demands on your time are seemingly endless. Thankfully, it's also time for the annual Kroeger Scholss Christmas Party! Finally, something during the holiday season that you WANT to do!  We're mixing it up a bit this year. The ugly sweater trend has exploded and is now more popular than Cabbage Patch Kids, Pokemon, and Twilight movies ever were. Here at Kroeger Schloss, we like to stay ahead of the trends. So, we're taking Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties to the next level - enter the Christmas Pajama Party! Of course, ugly sweaters are still welcome, but if you'd prefer to slip into something a little more comfortable, step into your fleece footy PJs and come on by! Prizes will be given for the Ugliest Sweater AND the best Christmas Pajamas, so do it up right! We'll get the party started at around 6:30 and keep it going until the Elf on the Shelf starts writing a negative review for Santa. If you can make it, we'd love to have you. Either way, please fill out the RSVP form below:  Okay, so we've got good news for you and bad news... We'll start with the bad news and just get that out of the way off the top: it's an overly-cumbersome pain in the neck! Now for the good news: for everyone who appreciates just how incredibly adorable Carson is, you now have an opportunity to put that belief into motion! Plenty of you have commented that Carson should be a Gerber baby and we agree. Now, we all have the opportunity to band together to convince Gerber that he should be a Gerber baby! That's right, Gerber is having an online contest to find the most adorable kids they can. We've entered Carson into the contest and HE NEEDS YOUR VOTES! The voting period starts November 17th and runs through December 14th. You can vote as often as you like, which means you should probably spend all day every day voting for Carson... Waiting in line on Black Friday? Vote for Carson. Listing to some executive drone on and on during some boring conference call at work? Vote for Carson. Waiting for that turkey to roast? Vote for Carson. Not sleeping? Vote for Carson. Asleep? Vote for Carson in your sleep! You can check the Kroeger Schloss Facebook page or Kelly's or Matt's for the link. Or you can click here, then search for Entry ID 50200 (that's Carson): Full disclosure here... before you click that link to go vote, remember the bad news. For whatever reason, Gerber decided to make the voting process incredibly cumbersome. You have to register and create an account and whatnot. It's completely stupid, but probably serves to keep the total number of votes down. Thankfully, you only need to register once and you just login thereafter. Since you'll be voting so many times each and every day, you should probably just bookmark the voting page and have your browser remember your login credentials.
Happy voting! Here's to the next Gerber baby! |
