What Color Are You?

Using your birthdate, add up the digits one-by-one and repeat until you have a one-digit number. Then find “YOUR”: color by the numbers below! For example: If your birthdate were August 13, 1966, you would add 8+1+3+1+9+6+6=34: then 3+4=7. No. 7 indicates that violet would be “your” color.

1.    RED- always willing to follow uncharted paths. Impulsive. Strength of purpose. Use determination to create harmonious relationships.

2.   ORANGE- Creative, intuitive, artistic, and outgoing. Orange people are often successful in the sales field and as executives.

3.   YELLOW- Idealistic, a bit of a perfectionist, has flair with words. Uses persistence and common sense to bring your dreams to fulfillment.

4.   GREEN- Compassionate and reliable. Tolerant of the short comings of others. A strong ability to communicate.

5.   BLUE- Sweet, deep-thinking, self-reliant, with a highly developed sense of responsibility. Can be demanding.

6.   INDIGO- Reserved, deep, and introspective with noble aspiration. Has high standards.

7.   VIOLET- Mysterious and highly creative with quick perception of spiritual ideas. A fascinating friend and companion.

8.   PINK- competent and energetic, sets high goals. Friendly manner, sometimes hides inner feelings.

9.   ALL COLORS- dependable and down-to-earth with an endearing sense of humor. Loves simplicity, quality and harmony.

Color influences your life in endless, amazing ways, probably far more than you realize. Color adds excitement, gaiety, spontaneity, life. Color can be a retreat: It brings quietness, serenity, peace. The study of color is fascinating and deeply satisfying. Of course, our preference for colors will change with our moods and so these ideas on color are mostly for fun-but it’s a way to start your thoughts about how important the use of color is in your home.

Just for fun, I thought I would add up my numbers to see what “my” color would be and it was violet, just like the example above. My birthdate is August 8, 1971. 8+0+8+1+9+7+1=34. 3+4=7. So my color is violet!

Why don’t you check it out and post what your color is and if you agree or disagree with what it says “your” color means in a comment. You don’t have to put your birthdate in the comment! J

Theme Parties!!

Why have a theme party? Because they are fun and they add excitement to your home party!!! There are way too many different theme parties to list here so I'm just going to list a dozen.

Chocolate Lover's Party- Serve chocolate goodies. Have your guests bring their favorite chocolate goodie or recipe to share. (I will make a binder with all of the recipes and give it to every guest who attends the party).

Mom's on a Budget- All items demonstrated will be under $25.00. (This would be a great one to have now with the economy being the way it is!)

Margarita Party- Do you Love Margarita's, then this party is for you! Serve margarita's and perhaps give a margarita quiz for your guests to see who knows the most about margaritas!

Pajama Party- Have your guests bring their comfy pajamas and they can wear them during the party. Great way to relax with all of your friends after a busy day!

Wine and Cheese Party- Relax with your friends over some wine and cheese while enjoying your Timeless Treasures party!

Hawaiian Shirt Party- Some Hawaiian music, a lei or two and your favorite tropical drinks and you can have Hawaii right in your living room!

The Good Old Day's Party- Guests  come dressed up in  1950's, 1960's or 1970's party wear.

Halloween Costume Party- Have your guests come dressed up in a costume and hold a contest for best costume!

Banana Split Party- Have your guests bring their own banana. The hostess will provide the ice cream and toppings.

Pool Party- Have a party around your pool! If you don't have a big pool, get a small plastic play pool and fill with ice and drinks. Have your guests bring their bathing suits in a brown paper bag and we will try to guess who's is who's!

Flip Flop Party- Have guests bring their favorite pair of flip flops in a bag and we will try to decide who's is who's.

White Elephant Party- Your trash could be someone else's treasure. Bring a "wrapped" unwanted "treasure" from home. You will get someone else's "treasure" at the end of the evening!

  If you would like to host your own Timeless Treasures theme party, call me at 479-220-9209 or e-mail me at Lgreat1971@aol.com with Theme Party in the subject line. This would be a GREAT way of getting FREE gifts!!!

Rules for Chocolate

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries count as fruit, eat as many as you want.

The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.

The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.

Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that happen, can you?

Thought this was cute and wanted to share :)

If you are hosting a Timeless Treasures home party, here are seven easy steps to having a successful show.

1. Personally Invite (either by phone or in person) your guest. *Use the "Who Do You Know" sheet.

2. Over-Invite! Invite people that you may run into at the grocery store, beauty salon, veterinarian's office, gas station, favorite restaurant or fast food place, etc. Ask your guest to bring a friend or friends along with them to the party.

3. Be Enthusiastic!

4. Send a copy of your "Guest List" along with your "Wish List" to me within 3-days so that I can send out reminder cards. This will also secure your party on my calendar!

5. Obtain outside orders as well as bookings before your party. Tell everyone about the FREE "shopping spree" that they can take advantage of from the catalog!

6. Make 'reminder calls' the night before your party to EVERYONR in order to guarantee the best attendance.

7. Keep your refreshments simple! Coffee, tea, water and cookies are ample.

8. HAVE FUN! This is a party - time for friends, relatives and new friends to relax and have a good time.
