thirty-one

Hey, y'all! Happy Halloween and stuff! I just noticed that the title of my post corresponds with the date! How cool is that? And, it has nothing to DO with October 31!

This Thursday, a sweet friend of mine will be at my house sharing the fall line of thirty-one. Thirty-one is a neat, Christian based company (did you know that Mary Kay is too???? :) that sells things that help you stay organized--and I need all of the help that I can get! From pocketbooks to organizers to carry-alls, they have it. AND--you can get 99% of it monogrammed!!!! I love my monogramming for my "stuff!"

I recently attended a party and saw this really cute, cute pocketbook with an adorable "skirt" on it that had ruffles! How southern can we get here? Precious! So, instead of buying it out and out, I signed up to do a Par-tay and get adorable ruffled pocketbook for only $10.00!!!! That is a bargain! At least I think so! Sweet hubby is not so sure! He just feels like I will spend a little bit more than that $10.00. But, it does mean a clean house before Thursday night!

I will be serving light snacks--sausage and cheese balls, chips and salsa, etc. Do you have any absolutely wonderful snackies that you've made for things like this or tailgating, and you had no leftovers? I would LOVE the recipes/or websites! Would you please share these with Runner Mom as she is SO not a cook? You are just all too, too sweet!

Make sure to take a peak at the catalog! I wish that y'all could all come to my par-tay, but I think that delivering your purchases might drain my checking account!!! Looking forward to your great ideas!

Sweet Blessings,

Hey Susan!

Fun post and perfect timing with thirty-one in there! I purchased a bag from thirty-one at a recent party. Good stuff! Hope your party goes well. Have fun tonight! We're expecting lots of kids at our house as the neighborhood is full of them!

Hugs,
Mary

Sounds like so much fun!! Living with all males as I do, I'm up for ruffles and frillies.

I have a Thirty One black & white bag. One of those kind with the really long straps so you can cross it over your body and not have to worry about it falling off.

Hope your party is a huge success!

Looking at the title of your post I thought you were celebrating your 31st birthday! :-)

How'd the party go? I love all those gift kinds of things. I need some serious restraint right now, so I might not tempt myself with the catalog. But...Christmas is coming...

Hugs,
Kelli

~Sigh~ ... How I would love to come to a par-tay at your house. We could eat appetizer after appetizer ... and then you and I could run the calories off side-by-side. Only you'd have to run much slower than usual. :-)
