I was going to do koozies but my ai resort poors everything into plastic cups, so i ended up ordering stadium cups that have one of our logos on them.

I know! Last year we stood at my FMIL's timeshare and bottled water was like $9 for a big bottle! So yeah - every time I see our timeshare guests, I am going to load them up with my AI water and soda! hehe! My stepmom is going to order us some water bottle labels, so the timeshare people will get those. We have 8 timeshare people altogether. We'll have time to raid our minibars in our room before we see the timeshare guests - so it totally works out!

I was going to do some of the DIY cups. I picked up some rub-offs the other day. I just have to find some cute cheap cups. Where did you get your cups from? My FI thinks I am nuts with the cups. Since he drinks beers, he has no clue how frustrating it will be to have to keep getting up to get margarita refills!

I'm also going to get some cheap tropical cups with straws for my kiddos!

Actually - the pic of my son below is from my FMIL's timeshare! We stood at Mayan Palace in Nuevo Vallarta. It was a beautiful property! Our room view was stunning!

Your son is so cute. My parents also have a timeshare at the Mayan Palace. They really like it there.

 

labels for the water bottles is a very good idea! I had my cups made with our logo, i'll have to look at home for the website name (i totally forget now because i looked at so many different sites!). I know morgan made her own cups and they looked really cute, you should check out that thread.

I am soo impressed ladies! You are inspiring me to get moving! Received my Raffia Fans from oriental trading yesterday and they're great so going to get moving on the ribbon for those..

 

Did anyone do towels for their OOTS? Trying to find a place to get them cheap!

I was thinking of doing towels but lugging them down there seems like it would be a pain!

Thank you! I am so in love with that kid! Yeah, Morgan was an inspiration for the cups! I'm going to have to check out some dollar stores or somewhere to see what I can find for cups.

I checked it out and they all had minimum orders of 100.

On our last trip I took towels for the kids and since the hotels provided them, it was kind of a waste. I actually ended up using them as little blankets to cover the kids up when they were napping.

I thought I found awesome cups at Wal Mart 4 for $1 and in our colors. I bought the rub offs and all but they were too slick/smooth if that makes sense. Everything fell off! WTF!!

Alright Steph - 6 months for us!!

 

Here's to us and 6 months! Any new planning stuff going on? I am going to Michaels tonight to see if I can find some teal ribbon. Im trying to get one project done at a time! My stepmom said she would add a layer of teal colored tulle to my daughters petticoat. OMG - it is going to look adorable!

 

I think I am going to start my huge crack-down diet today. I started working out yesterday with a trainer. One of the guys here used to be a professional body builder. He is in his 40's and still has a great bod - but he knows all the moves to get my arms toned. He is the fitness king around here - so I am going to use my resources!
