The Hills are ALIVE!

Did you say it with me?

Sing it!  "The hills are alive!  With the Sounds of Music!"



A few months ago I came across an idea on pinterest.com (don't act surprised) for a party.  This party is all about "My Favorite Things".  Cue music!


I got the idea from here: A Bushel and a Peck.

So I made some invitations with MDS.

These were a little tricky because I really wanted the words to "My Favorite Things" on it, but I'm big on clean lines and such.  I like how it turned out.  However, I'm pretty sure none of my party decor is going to be grey or blue...and that's a little annoying to me, but I'll get over it- and NO ONE else cares! :)

Now I'm working on all the fun little touches to make it especially fun!  I'm excited to see how it all turns out.  Here is the basic idea:
Each person brings their favorite thing (anything you like.. your favorite lip gloss, favorite kitchen tool, favorite gift wrapping supply, a gift card for your favorite frozen yogurt, etc.). It can't cost more than $6, and each person brings five of the same thing. When you arrive at the party, you write your name on five slips of paper and throw them in a big bowl. The bowl is passed around, and each person takes five names (making sure you don't pick your own.. or two of the same name).

One at a time each person introduces their favorite thing and then reads the five names they picked from the bowl, passing out their gift to those five guests. After everyone at the party has presented their favorite thing, each person should end up with five gifts to take home. 

More to come!
Have a great one!
