No cash has made most Michiganders a little more careful when we entertain. Some peeps are doing bring your own parties, some peeps are just cutting back. We have amassed a ton of new items that will help you to freshen your party. From cocktail napkins to inexpensive wine glasses there are a bunch of easy, inexpensive ways to brighten up your party.
The easiest and most inexpensive way to get people laughing is to serve drinks on funny cocktail napkins. They are typically inexpensive, and a package has enough napkins to use more than once if you are having a small party.
You can also use them sparingly like on the first drink you serve only. This will cut down on the number used, but still get people talking. Our most popular set of cocktail napkins is the one below, but you can do anything from a racy napkin, to a themed napkin, to a funny one.
Another fun way to update your existing party supplies is to add something unusual to the party. Whether it is a game to be played, name tags that you can make before the party, or fun themed ice cubes all are inexpensive!
One of the things we do when hosting a social event is we premake ice cubes in a fun theme. You can buy all kinds of ice cube trays at the dollar store,and use them for your event. We offer some fun reusable ice cubes in the shape of high heel shoes,but you can do a lot of different themes for cheap!
Finally, an inexpensive thing that will save your coffee table from rings, and your friends from sharing drinks is fun wine coasters.
We offer several different options, but some fun ones for summer are the 
In conclusion, entertaining doesn’t have to be expensive, and you can add some inexpensive accessories to your party to update it and make it fun!

So, we have heard from a ton of friends regarding our posts about the http://www.getinstyler.com/.
This is a question we got regarding the shine spray. If anyone has any advice for this gal on how to use it,please leave a comment for us.
Ok…we got our Instylers last week. So far I like it, but yesterday I tried the shine spray for the first time. It’s like pure oil? I dried my hair, then spritzed it on a bit…maybe too much. I didn’t get any shine, but did get a lot of steam when I then used the instyler.Help! LOL

We recently sold our house of 9 yrs,and moved to a new house. We brought with us our 15 year old shih-tzu Cupid,and our 2 yr old rescue cat Lucy. Cupid had been moving slower and slower this last year, but really started to go downhill after the move.
She had been steadily losing weight,and we were appalled to realize she had shrunk from a buddah size rolly polly 18 pounds, down to 9 pounds in just a few short months.
The master shipper had bought her for me as a wedding gift 15.5 years ago,and you can just imagine what i was feeling to watch her decline.As a pet owner,you know the day will come eventually but how do you prepare for it?
Anyhow, after 2 months of gladly getting up with her 4-5x a night to take her outside, it became apparent that she wasn’t enjoying her life anymore. I made the painful decision the first week of november 2008, to let her go.
I miss her every single day.

We received the nicest thank you from a blog reader for a donation we sent to her church for a fund raiser.
below is an excerpt of the thank you note-
“Thank you for your donation of the jewelry tree for our Mother/Daughter Tea benefiting the Mina Project. The jewelry tree was a big hit and made the perfect addition to our Diva Basket, leading to intense bidding among the attendees. Thanks in part to your donation, the event was an overall success and memorable experience for all involved.”
That thank you note couldn’t have come at a better time for me! It reminds me that i am only one person, but that i can make a difference in the world. We all can!
Sara, if you read this post, we would love to hear a little bit about the Mina Project,and what you think the money you raised will go for.
