Caravan Girl's Game Night

Ever played Caravan?  It's a super fun card and dice game.  I recently joined a group of 12 gals who meet once a month to eat, play and have a fabulous evening together.  This month it was my turn to host!  I had so much fun shopping for the prizes, (with the money collected from the previous month's game!) planning and preparing dinner and dessert, and getting the house ready for the big game night!  Minutes before everyone arrived, I ran around frantically snapping pictures to share with you!

The Prizes = I shopped at HomeGoods, Marshalls and Ross.  It's sure fun to shop with someone else's money!  I bought a variety of gifts for the home and garden.




Set-up = 3 game tables...



The menu...

Super easy and delicious salmon chowder.  Find the recipe here.

Yummy homemade rolls with butter and jam.  Link to recipe here.

Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
