I caved to my conscience and used my cloth napkins. And survived. Thus, I have now hosted two parties at my home with 10+ people, and NO disposable items were used!
That's awesome! I wonder, did anyone mention the fact that nothing was disposable and raise an eyebrow? My family is having Thanksgiving here, and my mom insisted I use paper plates when I told her we were going to use -omigosh- REAL plates. I still want to use my plates, though.
Yay! Joanie got her prized minky napkins to use for her birthday party! it rocks to be the birthday girl! I think with my new found sewing abilities I shall make some for our Christmas eve party!

Ruh roh....the fabric addiction has already begun, I see. That's daaaaaaangerous. The worst part, for me, is that I can justify my addiction as a "business expense." Bad, bad, bad!
The fabric addiction has already been in effect. You see what I package the "balls" in hehe...I scour the remnants section every time I go to the store

PAPER PLATES FOR THANKSGIVING?!!! Now, THAT would be disrespecting the Turkey. Aye yi yi. Go with the real ones, for sure.
Everyone LOVED the cloth napkins. I used my Minkee napkins, with RAVE reviews. I can always sucker them in with the Minkee...lol.
Tina! You totally should make some napkins for your par-tay! You're gonna' become addicted to the sewing thing here shortly!

What haven't I drunk? Drank? :::giggle:::
I went to a booze party today, and then sobered up. Now I am home with my new mixed case of yumminess, and am on my 3rd in the last hour.
Momma is going to sleep well tonight! Daddy on the other hand will be giving expressed milk to the littlest man of the house.
:::takes another swig:::
Seriously...I want a double-tall of whatever she's having!
