Looking for Mendi Ideas

I really want mendi (henna tatoos) done on my hands.  Maybe because I'm turning 44 over the holidays and I need to rebel in the smallest of ways.  Any ideas on how to incorporate mendi into an event?  Mendi and martinis?  Thoughts and suggestions please!

It's Over!




I'm thrilled that 50% of my Christmas shopping is done and I hope many other SpinMamas feel the same way.  

We didn't have as many people as I had expected but those of us that were shopping seemed to be having a good time.  What a fabulous way to knock things off your list.  As you can see, it was very taxing at times.  Yes that is Janis having a mini-facial at Harnn & Thann.

I was having such a lovely time that I forgot to take more pictures.  Poor Janis keeps ending up as my 'feature' SpinMama.  She's such a good sport.

Thanks to all the stores that opened up and treated us so well (as you can see).

Invites for our theatre night will be hitting your email accounts shortly.

A few of us will get those wonderful calls tomorrow telling us that we have won prizes.  Good luck and please let me know who the luck recipients are.

Tonight's the Night!!

I have to admit I really didn't want to set up this event. But as I talked to some SpinMamas and the store owners, I got my SpinMama mojo back and now I'm pumped. Start at any store, bring friends and hope to see you for a drink at Trio afterwards.

Our hosts include;
Mrs. Tiggy Winkles,
Harnn & Tann
Truffle Treasures
Kitchenalia
The Village Quire

Their doors are open from 6:30 - 9:00 pm tonight.

See you tonight!!

They're Ready for Us!

Today I popped in to see our 5 local retailers that are hosting our shopping night next week. They are excited to be a part of the 3rd Annual SpinMama Westboro Shopping Spree. 

Fady at Harnn & Thann will be offering discounts, a door prize, sushi and quickie facials. Warren and Allison at Kitchenalia are bringing in several gourmet suppliers to serve up a variety of tasty treats for us and he has another great prize lined up this year.  Susan at the Village Quire has many boxes to unload and display before we come. She's throwing in a very cute reindeer wreath holder in as a door prize.  I've definitely putting one of those on my list.

Please remember to bring bras or panties to donate to the Capital Panty Raid.  Bras can be slightly worn but must be clean.  Undies must to new and can for male or female and for any age.  There will be laundry baskets at all the stores where you can drop off your donations. 

The stores are expecting us from 6:30pm - 9:00pm next Wednesday, November 19th.  You can start at any one of these 5 stores ; 
  Mrs. Tiggy Winkles - we all know where they are
  Harnn & Thann - just across the street from Tiggy Winkles
  Truffle Treasures - right beside Harnn & Thann
  Kitchenalia - closer to Athilone
  The Village Quire - across the street from Kitchenalia
All the stores will be offering 15% discounts, door prizes, and light refreshments.

I have warned Trio to expect a few dozen SpinMamas for beverages after our shopping spree. Trio is about 4 doors down from Mrs. Tiggy Winkles going East.

Looking forward to it!
