GTG idea
I saw this on...where else...Pinterest, and thought it would be a fun nestie gtg idea. I would love to host but my teeny apartment won't work so we'd have to figure a place to do this is anyone is interested.
Here's the description. Not sure if the link will work.

A Favorite Things Party- Here's how it works: Each person brings their favorite thing (anything you like.. your favorite lip gloss, favorite kitchen tool, favorite gift wrapping supply, a gift card for your favorite frozen yogurt, etc.). It can't cost more than $6, and each person brings five of the same thing. When you arrive at the party, you write your name on five slips of paper and throw them in a big bowl. The bowl is passed around, and each person takes five names (making sure you don't pick your own.. or two of the same name). One at a time each person introduces their favorite thing and then reads the five names they picked from the bowl, passing out their gift to those five guests. After everyone at the party has presented their favorite thing, each person should end up with five gifts to take home. It's always interesting to see what people choose, and some guests have started to bring a notepad and pen to jot down what people love.
Re: GTG idea
I still don't know what pinterest is and judging from the addictions I keep reading about, I'm not sure I want to know!
Ditto!

Jen, just for the recipes alone, you would love it!
It's like your "favorites" organized all in one spot, with pictures!
They have everything. Crafty items, recipes, home repairs, just everything. And it's by invite only. People post things and you can "repin them" into your own categories. It's a viscious cycle of repinning. New items every second. You can waste hours on there.
If I collect any more recipes, I think Mr.D is going to throw out all my recipe binders. I also have to go through and organize what I have before I add any more!

Mr D would love it then! It's like a virtual recipe binder. No paper!
Cool idea.
Good thing my work computer sucks for most things on the interwebs, sadly though, I received a warning from AT&T that my data usage was very high.
