Celebrating Susie!

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

great to be KING!

We were so honored to work with the LA KINGS to come up with a special way to show appreciation to the women & wives in their organization. We created a pack of personalized Gift Labels for each gal, but then decided it would be best to LET THEM CHOOSE from the collection. Our new “too legit to quit” GIFT CARDS are the perfect gift for anyone this season. Choose our “enjoy” card or let us create something custom for your organization. The $50+ cards come in a fabulous collapsible gift box.

My team and I went to the LA KINGS game that week and had an absolute blast…I had never been before and I am seriously hooked! The music, the hype, the action on the ice…my kids loved every minute too. We proudly displayed our entire Breast Cancer Awareness collection and donated sales that night to HOCKEY FIGHTS CANCER.

erin go “bra” (less!)

okay, okay…no one get alarmed, I’m still wearing a bra but without showing the tacky straps! We came across a product called THE STRAPPER and my whole office is now officially “hooked.” It is just a small, well designed “hook” that holds your bra straps together so they can’t be seen when wearing a tank top. I have been bugging my husband (and roommates before that!) to help pin or conceal my straps in the past…but no more! I think I have a new idea for “gift toppers” on all my holiday gifts to girlfriends this year!
