girls night.

monday night i hosted a girls night for our sunday school class.

i was really super excited because i had a * my favorite things * party.

this may not be exciting for some...

but one of my love languages is receiving gifts...

it could be a card, a lipstick, flowers, even a rock. seriously.

so, i think that's why i got excited about this party.

(i got the idea from joys hope: http://www.joyshope.com/)

it was down at our pond.

it started at 8 p.m. so everyone could get kids tucked in, if need be,

and then come in your jammies. :)

each person was to bring 5 favorite things. $6 or under.

and then we were going to pick names, to see who got to take what home.

as it turned out, there were only 5 of us here,

so we each got to take one of everything.

super. fun.

(from left to right: rhonda, glenda, me and laura. sadly missing kristen...she had to leave as her twin babies
were not cooperating well for their daddy.)   :(

it was fun to see what everyone brought.

kristen- homemade bread and yummy smelling candle.

rhonda- burts beeswax tinted lip balm.

glenda- assorted jewelry and burts beeswax lip balm

laura- new guinea impatiens

me- homemade pink bunting banners...for my love of pinterest. :)

(like these)

now...to research another fun party idea for next time. :)
we don't get together that often...but it's so fun when we do.

to sit and talk the night away.
and eat too of course. :)
