Thursday evening, I hosted a "Favorite Things" party for the girls in my Sunday School class. I was beyond excited about this FUN evening and couldn't wait for it to begin. Once everyone had arrived, we chatted for a bit while enjoying a wonderful array of yummy treats. Each person brought their FAVORITE dessert or appetizer to share as well.
We had such a huge spread with way too much food, but everything was
delicious! Once everyone had finished eating, we gathered in a circle in my living room and one
by one began sharing our favorite things.
Here's how it works:
Each guest was asked to pick a favorite item (costing no more than $5),
purchase five of that particular thing, and then bring all five items to the party. Once
there, everyone’s name was put in a basket five times. Then each guest took turns sharing all about their favorite thing,
why they love it, and where they bought it! Next, they picked
five names from the basket, careful not to pick their own name or any
duplicate names and proceeded to pass out their "thing"
to the five names they chose. At the end of the party, each guest goes home with five different "Favorite Things"! 
My "Favorite Thing" that I brought were these t-shirt scarves I made. Scarves seem to be all the rage right now and I LOVE how FUN, SIMPLE, and EASY these are to make!!
Here's a GREAT link if you wanna know how to make a t-shirt scarf for yourself.

Here's just a little peak at some of my AWESOME loot. I wish I had taken a picture of all the favorite things but some great ideas were:
Bath and Body works lotion and soaps
Silver bracelets with engraved Bible verses
Chocolates
Candy
Hand-made ornaments
IKEA scrub brushes, picture frames, plastic tumblers and kids plates
Pizza dough and frozen dough w/ favorite recipes for each
Someone even talked about their favorite apps for their i-phone or i-pad.
Everyone brought different items and the best part was learning about everyone's favorite
thing. It was a fabulous night
filled with great conversation, delicious food, and interesting information about neat products.
It kind-of felt like Christmas and I can't wait to do a party like this again SOON!!!
