Names in this comment are changed to protect the guilty! Several years ago I had a girls-night-out fondue party. Two friends, their two elementary school aged daughters and me. Fondue was bubbling away, Moms were enjoying the wine! One daughter blurts out “Mom!” Mother ignores her. She tries again: “Mom!” “Jenna [not her real name]–you’re interrupting!” “But Mom, the table’s on FIRE!” “Ok, but dont interrupt!” We doused the flames and still laugh about it!!

Your party looks like so much fun! A few years ago we started the Christmas Eve tradition of having chocolate fondue as our dessert. With 3 little grandsons on the scene, we have to be extra careful. But they look forward to it every year. We sugar them up and send them home to wait for Santa!

That looks like so much fun! I have never been to a fondue party. I will have to try your plan sometime. Cheese and chocolate are two of my favorite items. Yummy!
I like how you didn’t stress about everything not “matching”.
Fun party!

Comment on Quick and easy closet transformation by Pamela

I put up a shelf like that (while hubby was on business trip) in our coat closet. Top: vaccum accessories, cowboy hats, box of hubby’s hats. Lower: box of my hats, another box of hubby’s hats.

Dextress, if you can’t thin your wardrobe, then expand your closet.. Fling your puffy sweaters into a bin underneath a nearby table. Make-like a rummage sale for your jeans in another bin. Screw hooks on the door frames for belts/scarves/purses. Stick a dresser or half of one in the closet.. voila- instant “shelves” w/ privacy for unmentionables.

Yes I fondue! I have an electic one, and it’s the best! I even use it for deep frying home made eggrolls!

Blessings, Beth Ann

The table is gorgeous! Question…Do you live in Canada? The only time I have seen those Smarties was when I was at Prince Edward Island 5 years ago.

I LOVE fondue. My family used to did it every Christmas Eve until we all started having kids. I would really like to get back into it.

We have a Girls Night Out once a month and a fondue pot luck is one of our FAVE activities! We do it so often that we pick up extra fondue sets at yard sales when we find them (I own 2 and my sister has 3!). Each lady brings a fondue (since we have extra pots, it is not required to have one!) and the appropriate dippers. It’s a great, casual night out.
