One of the things that people seem to be doing more of lately is throwing parties.  Almost any excuse for a party!  I guess it’s one of the ways they (we) are making up for trying to cut back on other expenses.  So many parties are set up where everyone brings food to share so that no one person has to foot the entire tab.  Then we all get together and have a great time.  One of the ways that some of the hosts and hostesses make the parties more fun is by having a theme, such as a Hawaiian luau or a Super Bowl Party or St. Patrick’s party. 

The last football themed party that I went to the host was handing out Football Beads as little prizes for people who won the little games that we all played.  When Teri asked him where he got them, he told her that he found a great Party Supply store called toomeys-mardigras.com online that sells party goods at great prices.
