4. The #1 girl goes first and selects a bag. Then the #2 girl can either “steal” the scarf off of the #1 girl (in which case, #1 girl selects another bag) or select a bag of her own. Once a scarf has been stolen twice, it can no longer be stolen.
5. After the last girl (in our case #9) selects her bag, then the #1 girl gets to go one more time and is allowed to keep the original scarf she drew or swap with one other person. And then it’s over and everyone keeps the scarf they have.
At Christmas, some people call this White Elephant and swap Christmas ornaments or other gifts…we just do it with scarves.
And since we’re talking scarves, I thought I’d show you some of my current faves…
I am flipping over this leopard and navy scarf! It comes in several other colors too (orange, red, mustard and green). How cute and chic is this?!?!
I also love this plaid scarf (also in two other colors). This baby just screams fall and winter :).
I know some of you love camo and some of you hate it. If you’re one that loves it, this camo scarf will rock your world…if you don’t love it, move on to my next option :).
I received a houndstooth scarf last year as a gift and wore it all the time! This one comes in multiple colors too…but the traditional black and white is my favorite.
And if you need something cheery and happy this fall, I love the pink polka dot scarf from Gap. It’s just happiness!
I’m so happy you loved our scarf party, and I hope when you have one, you send me a group pic :). It’s such a blessing to have sweet friends to share these simple moments with.
I have such a great group of girlfriends! As you can tell, we all faithfully read Sheaffer’s blog and wear what she suggests! There were 5 of her denim jackets, 2 pair of camo pants and 3 pairs of nude flats there that night :).
Thanks to Sheaffer introducing me to the perfect pair of flats, I now own my very own pair. I love, love, love them!
Look at Kensington and me on Thursday. I’m wearing my new pair of leopard flats (the first time in my life that I’ve ever worn flats!), and Kensington is wearing her new pair too.
You guys also probably know Andrea (the one holding sweet Griffin!), she is our design guru. She blogs at Never Say Never and also has her own design business. She is responsible for all of my party invitations, party banners and decorations, baby announcements, shower invites, Christmas cards, blog design and blog graphics. I mean…she basically works on stuff for me 24/7! You should also check out her design blog called Slightly Askew Designs.
Erika is the cutie on the end wearing the first pair of camo pants :). Her kiddos Ebby Lee, Nixon and Bowen are in at least half of my photos. I feel like they’re mine! Erika likes to do a little bit of everything on her blog. She’s currently fixing up her new house with some really creative methods and projects. I have DIY envy for sure! You can find her family at the Slaughter Family Blog.
My other friends have blogged off and on over the years but right now, none of them are actively blogging.
I am so blessed to call each and every one of them a friend. You should wear a scarf today…and think of us :).
Don’t forget to check out my latest edition of Meal Planning Monday today!

Can't wait to see you cooking on Wednesday, how fun!
Susan says
My friends did a scarf exchange a few Christmas' ago – so fun! And I still wear my scarf! I've also done a couple of "Favorite Things" exchanges (you know, in the spirit of Oprah :)). For that, you can bring a favorite thing you feel like all your friends need to know about…a new cookbook, a sampling of your favorite nail polishes, a mug with your favorite tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, that face soap you can't live without, your go-to lip gloss, etc…! Your friends would be great at that!

The scarf exchange is a fantastic idea! Good friends are a God-send! I'm excited to see how my blog makeover from Andrea turns out – you are lucky to have her close by!! 🙂

You are seriously one of the most photogenic people I've ever seen. I'm sure you are beautiful in person but pictures just capture your inner and outer beauty. That PJ shot is super cute.
Elizabeth says
Looks like fun! I want to do a scarf exchange. Small world – I know Sarah Smith in your picture. We both went to Hardin Simmons together. Tell her I said hi!
Simi @ themicroharvest.com says
the PJ party is such a great idea!! so excited!
Slightly Askew Designs says
The scarf exchange will ALWAYAS hold a special spot in my heart 🙂 But I think that the "moment" at the Christmas recipe party is a close second.
I am BEYOND blessed to have such amazing friends and count y'all as my family. 🙂
Lori says
Andrea – are you referring to the moment at the recipe exchange that Griffin (him) became Griffin (her)? Love you and your surprises!!!

This post gave me so much to be excited about!! The pj party is going to be so fun, but I'm even more thrilled about your cooking segment! Can't wait to watch once it goes online!! You're going to give Rachael Ray a run for her money! P.S. I also LOVE all the scarves you featured!! You can never have too many.

The camo scarf only comes in the gray? Please tell me this isn't true. This breaks my heart. I need the green!!!!
