I brought the bride to be a goody bag, stuffed with fun things for our girls’ weekend away!
a bit of bubbly with personalized, waterproof wine labels…
plastic cups to SHARE her bubbly…
a 6 pack of “Go Girl” energy drinks…
a 4 film favorite CD collection from Target, only $4.99!
some sassy, Liberty of London (for Target) lingerie…
all wrapped in tulle to make the gift feel very bridal. such fun, can’t wait for the big bash on Saturday!
Just 2 days until the big wedding! well, the lovebirds actually eloped but we will be hosting the reception at our home on Saturday.
Last month, we convinced Susie to steal away for a “girls weekend,” wine tasting in Santa Barbara and Los Olivos.
(she refused to call it a bachelorette party since we are in our 40s and it is her second marriage)
She also made it VERY CLEAR that she would not wear a veil, or any silly/sassy bachelorette stuff, but I couldn’t help myself. I found Tatoo Paper at Michaels and printed “kenny” hearts for all of us to wear and a muscle bound sailor tat with her hubby’s face photoshopped on! They were a huge hit with the gals, not sure I can say that about the winery owners. Not the “classiest crew” coming through for winetasting, but we sure had a blast.
by the way, i would recommend small tatoos on this peel and stick paper…the larger images did not apply smoothly and the edgesrolled up and peeled off. bummer, but the idea was fun 
it’s been a couple weeks since we helped to paint the lifeguard station near our home. It was an incredible day, with VERY little turnout which worked in our favor! all the kids got to paint, and some adults too. The panels will be installed soon, all of which were painted by terminally ill children and the organization, Portraits of Hope. Can’t wait to see the finished masterpieces lining our beaches from Malibu to Palos Verdes.
We are already planning the “paint party” when it goes “back to blue” in October. We will be ready!
My best friend (since I was born!) just eloped to Fiji! We were sad to not attend the barefoot on the beach ceremony, but now excited to host a rippin’ reception at our home this weekend! We have been in home improvement modefor weeks, and everything is finally coming together at the last minute.
As mentioned in a previous post, we are remodeling a bathroom that will literally be done the day before the big fun. We are printing the wallpaper in my shop today and a pro will be hanging it tomorrow!
After the paper is hung, my handy man is coming back to install the fixtures, including my fun sink/vanity that I designed from scratch. I need to add a third coat of paint tonight, these “ball” legs are not easy to cover but I think the end result will be worth all the labor.
I will post photos after the big party, but have a sneak peek of an Outdoor Canvas we are printing for the newlyweds!
We are printing it now and will coat it with a UV Protectant so it can hang outside for years to come. A great way to personalize a pool area or balcony, i think the couple will be surprised and thrilled to take home this party favor.
the clock is ticking…still so much to do!

what an incredible message from such an inspirational man.
I hope you all start your weekend and count your blessings after seeing this.
we all get so caught up in our own imperfections and expections, this is such a powerful message that we all have so much to be thankful for.
carpe diem!

I was so honored to be approached by Kelly Corrigan and the coordinators of the first annual, Notes & Words event! An amazing night of incredible musicians and authors coming together to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Oakland.
Watch this wonderful video from the event!

Each attendee received a fabulous “swag bag” complete with a signed copy of LIFT, by Kelly Corrigan. We created the custom book plates for the event and the night was a huge success!
My good friend Regina Hoffman just won a baking competition at Susie Cakes!
She sent this fun announcement this morning with the news:
Hello Friends and Family. Some of you know how much I LOVE to bake. Well, all that fun has paid off…. I won the Mother’s Day Cake Competition from SusieCakes Bakery in Los Angeles (http://www.susiecakesla.com).
My “Italian Cream Cake” will be sold by the slice at all 5 locations starting this (today!) Friday afternoon for an entire month. The closest SusieCakes to us is in Manhattan Beach (by Tin Roof Bistro and the Galleria Mall).
I hope you can stop by and try it out!!
Maybe “Reggie’s” Bakery will come to Hermosa sooner then I thought:)

So if youre looking for a smart branding, trying to land a new job, a recent grad trying to make an impression, or just like stylish things, we have a TON of AWESOME stationary made just for MEN!!!
ready, set, GO! this remodel is going much quicker that I planned, so i am making quick decisions over the phone as my husband and handyman run back and forth from Home Depot! I told him dark wood floors, and VOILA! These are made of bamboo (very green!) and pre-stained so they were set in a jiffy. The dry wall is all in, can lighting in the ceiling, now just waiting for the wallpaper.
LOVE MY SINK! I loved the desk my friend had made for her daughter, so I sketched out something similar for the sink cabinet. You might know I love circles, so I drew the legs to be “stacked balls” and bought a sink top & faucet from IKEA. I can’t believe how quickly it came together! I plan to paint it Green this weekend and have the wallpaper ready
to hang next week. (see the sneak peek of pattern on the wall) exciting!!!
This woman is such an inspiration to all…amazing the challenges and obstacles she faced, but succeeded in raising 6 INCREDIBLE children and giving so much joy to so many.
