Not so frugal

Not so frugal...done in a frugal way.
I had one of those "jewelry parties"
It was fun, friends over, drinks and desserts.

Buying jewelry is not a frugal thing to do, but throwing the party was.
1) It had a theme.  Which worked really well for me.  A CHOCOLATE theme, and it was the 1st weekend after Halloween, so Chocolate was cheap.
2)  It was a drinks and dessert evening.  Had all the ingredients to make a few choc. theme desserts so no money spent there.
3)  My money was spent on alcohol, but since I saved everywhere else, it was no problem.  Plus I only offered 2 different Themed drinks. Chocolate wine and a Chocolate Martini.
4) Most important, I got to see friends and they had a good night out
5)  The little money I put into it, I got back in free jewelry.
6) And because I threw a Party, one of my friends gets credit towards jewelry from her party I attended.  Truly a win win.
