Do you watch Nate?
If you don't...you're crazy and need to start.
He's amazing and he totally pulls ideas from blogland.
You may have seen some famed bloggers on there (Thrifty Decor Chick, TheDIYdish)
Anyways, he's been promoting these things called "Swap Parties" where you essentially bring stuff you don't want to a party with friends who do the same, and you swap it out !
So fun.
So successful!!
We did one this week with the wives & women of the Ministry my hubby works with.
Here's us ladies just chillin' out at the party
Nicolle standing with all our swap items (including the mirror she's holding)
We did ours "gift exchange style" where you chose three items (since we each brought three or more) and then got to do some stealing...
Look how intense it got.
Nah, it wasn't really. It was all in good fun and everyone went home with awesome new stuff!
All of us with our swap wins!!
Me & my basket of goodies from the swapping!
and no...I don't wear a ridiculous amount of blush. I just came from a bus stop drop off in -12 degree weather to inside where it was warm and my cheeks never went back to normal. haaaa! oh well, I match my pink sweater.
More of my stuff:
Thanks Nate for the inspiration!

It's like free garage sale-ing.

This looks so fun! If only I had a group of friends like yours :)
If you get a chance later today, I'd love for you to stop by to link up to my Not "Baaad" blog hop :)
Looks like a lot of fun! Definitely worth trying. Seems like a win, win situation.
What a great idea! I watch his show everyday and never thought to try that with my friends! Thanks for the inspiration!
