Umbrella Stand Giveaway Winners!

Congratualtions! The winners of the 2Modern.com Umbrella Stand Giveaway are:

Natasha:
"The Offi Window Desk would make a perfect gift for my husband. He is a telecommuter using an old table for his desk. The size is perfect for our small home office, and the two drawers will give him a place to store small items, instead of being strewn all over the place. Thanks to 2Modern for this opportunity to review their fabulous gift shop items, and we look forward to the chance to win that great umbrella stand!"

And...

Amiee Carlson:
"Finally, a good looking, well-designed umbrella stand! I love it! I need this for my clients who consistently walk into my office plop their wet umbrellas on my office rug. This stand makes a statement as a piece of art whether it is in use or not! If I win, I would recommend it to all of my clients for their offices and for our events! Then, that iNurseryworks - Playdate Table and Stools in the holiday gift shop is a must have. This is the first child's table with such a contemporary, space saving design. Kids rooms are so cluttered with toys, this space saver would be a "lifesaver"!! Love your site!"

Please Natasha & Amiee respond to this post with your full name, shipping address and telephone number.

Margarita Mix-Off!

Every year we have a Margarita Mix-Off at our house to determine which of our friends have the skills to take the gold medal each year.
This is one of those parties where all of our friends call throughout the year to ask 'when's the next party?'

Here's a sure way to have a blast at your next adults only party. Believe me with Tequila, things can get a bit messy, you don't want kids around at this party.
Use Sendomatic.com to find the perfect invitation. A good party has at least 4-6 couples so that there is a good range of margaritas to be made. Instruct each couple to bring fixin's for their best round of Margaritas.
**Don't forget to have your guest RSVP! You need to tell everyone how many margaritas they should be prepared to serve.
What makes this party fun is that presentation is just as important as flavor. Each couple will name their margarita for voting purposes. We enjoyed a great "squeeze my melons" margarita last year, which was a melon flavored margarita served in halves of hollowed honeydew melons. The creative ideas never cease to amaze us so encourage creativity and costumes!

Once your quest arrive, draw numbers to see who goes first, and get mixin!

Each couple takes a turn in the kitchen preparing their margarita while the rest of the guest chat and snack on the patio. After tasting the margarita each person votes individually on taste and presentation separately. (make pre-made voting cards before the party, it's much easier for everyone to use after a few margaritas).
Continue to taste and enjoy everyones creative margaritas. Vote at the end, tally the votes, and declare the best margarita maker in your hood. You can provide a nice prize for both taste and presentation!

You will want to also have on hand:
Lots of water
Lots of food
Taxi cab #'s
and don't forget the camera!

have fun!
