Making friends

[DianaB]

It's always awkward meeting new people but I'm glad that you went. You got to meet your neighbors.

I had a friend that used to have all kinds of home parties and since I was her best friend I felt that I had to go. I learned to just say no......no to buying......and no to hosting a party. I went just for her and to visit with others. I know that when I have a party I don't expect others to feel pressured into buying.....because things are expensive. I tell them to just come and have fun. Next time just tell them that I came to just visit with everyone but I really don't have the money to spend right now with all of our moving expenses. They'll understand.

I don't have parties very often but once I did a Tastefully Simple party and it was so much fun!! It was party dip mixes, soup mixes, drink mixes, and dessert mixes. I made up a bunch of samples and everyone got to taste everything!! We laughed and had so much fun!! I told people just to come and have fun but several of them bought stuff....but you could spend just $10 and have a little something. If you're ever invited to one of those parties I encourage you to go.

Enough about me.......I'm glad that you went!! Next time don't feel like you have to buy. Oh, but I AM having a jewelry party next fall.......are you interested in seeing a catalog? LOL
