Sorry for the delay in getting to the lucky winner of the hot-off-the presses P. Allen Smith Cookbook giveaway. The winner is (drumroll please)…Casey at Loft & Cottage.

Congratulations Casey and be looking for your cookbook to arrive soon!

And now that we have the give-away handled, I thought I would help you plan your next trip.

First if you are a designer, a design blogger or a design blogger want-to-be, you MUST not miss the upcoming Design Bloggers Conference in Los Angeles on February 28th through March 1 at the Sofitel Hotel. The line-up of speakers and presenters is All-star and I am priviledged to be one of the 2 keynotes along with the amazing and accomplished Dallas designer, Jan Showers. We are being joined by my many of my blogger friends from around the world, to bring you the latest and greatest in design blogging tips, tricks and trends.

I am the guest blogger today on the Design Bloggers Conference blog, so run on over and see what else I have to say about this Design Bloggers event of the year!! If you want to take your design business to the next level or make a business out of your passion for design, you just can’t miss out on this worthwhile conference!

And if you are a Designer or Design Enthusiast looking for the latest tips and trends for creating gorgeous interiors, then you MUST sign up for one or both of my upcoming Design Camps! If you are coming from out of town or just across town, Design Camp will definitely feel like a luxury get-away. We’ll feed you great food, teach you tons of design ideas and best of all we will have so much fun!!

On January 22nd, I am holding my next session of Design Camp Basics. My Design Camp Alumni are still raving about their experience at my basics camp. Check out this post with their reviews and please take a moment to watch this video testimonial.

After attending my camp, I promise you will feel the same way.

Then on February 4-5, we are taking design to the next level once again with my Spring Advanced Design Camp. This camp is full of “all new” material so even if you have attended camp before, sign up for this latest edition where we will learn about designing outdoor rooms, Spring cleaning with style, throwing fabulous Spring and Summer Soirees, kitchen design and much, much more! This fun and exciting day and a half intensive workshop will leave you inspired for the year ahead!

And not to worry if you are a total design novice, both the Design Camp Basics and Advanced Spring Design Camp are suitable for all levels of experience!
