My hostesses ROCK!

Posted on by Josee

I had so much fun at my Hostess and Club Appreciation last Friday. I invited everyone who hosted or were in a club from July 2009-now and we really had a blast.

We some yummy appetizers; some to-die-for cake;  2 great projects to make; prizes and gifts for everyone!!!

Here are the projects we made:
We made a door hanger using some of our Occasions Mini products! Don't forget that the Occasions Mini ends this month…there's so many fabulous products that you shouldn't miss out on. Check it out here 


The other project we made was an adorable Flower Purse with matching notecards inside. The idea came from Marlayne Hardy who demonstrated it at her Christmas Party. I thought it would be perfect for this event! We created ours using some Designer Series Paper and each one was a bit different!


Here are a couple of my wonderful club member who attended. I really had a great time spoiling all the ladies who attended. My club members and hostesses really ARE the best in the world! 🙂


Each attendee got a little goody box with a small treat inside. I also had to throw in a photo of my daughter "guarding" the cake…lol.

We had a great candy bar with personalized candy jars. YUMMY

Extremely yummy desserts and food!

We had TONS of great prizes                        &        some relaxing time cropping!
