a favorite things party

i had seen this idea on pinterest a few dozen times but it really didn't sink in until i saw ashley's post about the one she went too. 

it seemed like such a FUN party - and let's face it, it was a great excuse for me to throw a party!

the girls came, we ate, drew names and exchanged our some of our favorite things!

i made most all of my favorite party foods such as:

rice krispie treats

basil, mozzarella & tomato skewers

5 flavor pound cake

southwest egg rolls

banana pudding cupcakes

bread with tuscany dipping oil

taco dip

-- we also had some tastefully simple dips and beer bread from heather and chocolate chip dip from kathy!--

some of our favorite things exchanged:

starbucks gift card

pedicure essentials - scrubs, polish and clippers

bubble bath and eye mask

mascara

lip glosses

mason jar, coffee, nail polish, hair product and room spray

dry shampoo with hair spray

crackle nail polish with candy

cupcakes and kitchen utensils

handmade earrings

TACOS!

journal with a pen

nail polishes

wine

[as well as plenty more goodies that i am sure i am forgetting] 

can't wait to do it again!
