Girls Weekend Survival Totes
I am officially a bag lady this week! I have been stocking our girls weekend survival totes with all of our necessary supplies: water, magazines, sunscreen, body shimmer, gum, recovery rockstar, lip gloss, advil & glitter nail polish.
I still have one last surprise for the girls I am picking up today & we will be ready to go!
I had grand ideas for name tags but resorted to glitter tags with stickers, SIGH. If only I had more hours in the day...

Girls Weekend Door Tags
Just a few days away from our girls weekend & I am getting a few things together. Remember the logo I designed for our event? I am using it on door hangers for the girls rooms at the resort.
a fun way to dress up the doors for our weekend & an easy way to remember which rooms are ours
I am also using our logo for water bottles & a few other surprises! Does anyone else have any ideas on how else to use it?

Mood Lighting
When consulting with a client on a contemporary theater project, I discovered LED Wallpaper. This textile combines sound-absorbing properties with LED lights which cast a colorful low-energy glow over any interior space. The LED lights are available in a wide palette of colors, allowing the user to change the mood or color of the room whenever desired.

Thinking outside of the box
My BFF's son is turning seven & it is a Star Wars theme birthday this year. I love tying in my gift into the party theme but didn't want to get the typical Star Wars toys. Collin is a little foodie in the making & I immediately thought of Williams Sonoma. I picked up Star Wars cookie cutters, sandwich cutters & pancake molds. I also ran next door to PBKids and found the cutest Darth Vader cloth bin to put everything in for our special birthday boy.
I can't wait to see what the birthday chef creates with his new kitchen toys!

Harry Potter Weekend
The boys were so THRILLED during our Stay for A Spell Weekend at the Westin Kierland. When we arrived at the resort Friday, the boys were sent over to HP Headquarters to pick up their magical bag that was filled with a wand, HP glasses, Honeydukes candy & the Quibbler which listed the events for the weekend. Here are my two Harry's trying out their glasses & wands (PS I FORGOT my camera, can you belive it?!!! Thank goodness we all have camera phones now, pics aren't great but the memories are)
They began with a treasure hunt in which the boys ran around the hotel & acquired collector pins on their lanyards
we spent the rest of the afternoon/evening swimming & watching Harry Potter movies. At 9:00 Saturday morning, we boarded the platform at 9 3/4 for the final HP movie at the Scottsdale IPic. The theater was AMAZING & we LOVED the movie...so bittersweet to see it all end. We went to a yummy lunch & headed back to the resort so the boys could attend Professor Slughorn's Candy Potion Class.
After candy potion class, we competed in the family Tri-Wizard Tournament. Jake loved the Muggle pie eating contest
although we did not win, we still had so much fun!
We worked up quite an appetite after the Triwizard competition & went down to feast at the Leaky Cauldron. The Butterbeer was cool & refreshing after a day at Hogwarts & the feast was delicious! We ended the evening with yummy Honeydukes S'mores & pumpkin juice by the fire.
Sunday morning, we attend Professor McGonagalls class & won the HP trivia contest! After, the boys participated in the Horocrux Treasure hunt & were the first to complete the hunt! The boys spent some time in Game on Wheels playing video games until it was time for the Quidditch Cup! I am happy to report that my youngest captured the Golden Snitch & won for Team Gryffindor!
It was truly a magical weekend for our entire family & my boys said it was the BEST HP weekend ever!

Design Do or Don't
A new blog feature I will be periodically running are design trends that I am seeing through my client projects; called Design DO or Design DON'T. This feature will allow you to see design trends & give your opinion.
My first design DO or DON'T is the current trend of glass counter tops. This product is a laminated art glass kitchen countertop with unlimited color interlayer which creates remarkable depth.
Is this a Design DO or DON'T?

My laptop is finally home & all better! I started working on a few things for our Girls Only Weekend at the end of July & picked up these fun tote bags at Ann Taylor Loft! Perfect for the spa or pool side for the girls! Now here is where I need your help! Should I add "girls weekend twenty eleven" to the bags in between the sequin stripes OR monogram each girls initals OR leave them alone?
Seriously, could use your help & would love to hear what you think-which option do you like?
