Creating Indiana Jones Ark

For my Son's upcoming 7th Birthday party, we are doing a Indiana Jones themed party. I am searching for items on ebay and come across the top picture in an auction. It's a great idea for a homemade Ark. They just spray painted a white styraform ice-chest gold. So I borrowed that idea and tried to make my own. Not as great as theirs, but a heck of a lot better then trying to win this auction & pay shipping. I am the type of girl who likes to see if I can make it for cheaper. I also picked up a silver old railroad lantern and spray painted it gold too. I think it'll ad to the look of our party at least for decoration. I'm going to be turning our basement into the mummy's chamber and make it a little spooky for the kiddies. Not to over the top though. I'll have sections of my basement they can walk through to experience different scenes from the movie. I will be collecting a lot of Halloween decorations this Season. I'm so excited, because Halloween is my favorite Holiday I have to say. I don't know why because I don't like scary movies and I don't like dark/evil creatures, but it's a fun Holiday. A little scare is enjoyable. Like a haunted house. I will be adding pic's of all my projects on this new adventure of mine. The party isn't until November, but I always start early. I LOVE Planning parties like no one else. There's a lot of work to do ahead! So check back often to see what I'm up to.
