Quick Update

Ok so I said I was going to better with posting and I wasn't....so I apologize! Since my last posting there was Halloween, which was fantastic for me. My 3 year old nephew Easton came down from Regina to do his trick-r-treating here...needless to say the whole event was hilarious! He was a frog...who didn't speak..sometimes he actually just awkwardly stood there and stared as people while they would give him candy...his manners though were tremendous, thank you's were no problem. Unfortunately Tina and I were too busy laughing the whole time so we didn't get a single picture! Terrible, I know. But just so you know how cute he is, here is Easty, being Easty.

November so far has been fantastically crazy...for real, there is always something happening! 'Tis the season of Christmas I suppose! First off I love Christmas... the best part of Christmas for me is all the funny stories that come out of. My family Christmas's never disappoint in that department. Last year I found labels in the kitchen and proceeded to "re-name" everyone in my family with completely ridiculous names. For example, my brothers name is Colin ..so I renamed him "Rectum" hahaha I laugh just thinking about it again.
Not to mention when you give a killer gift, and you see the person's reaction and you know they love it....there is nothing better! My next favorite part of Christmas is all the lights...is there anything more beautiful then driving around on a calm white winter night looking at all the different lights on peoples houses...its perfect!
You see though my problem is my husband bought a sled....sooooo I am very interested to see if he will "find the time" to hang our lights...I would try but you see me, heights, snow, tangled lights....it's a recipe for disaster! I know better! Ha

Back to decorating though. I did these centerpieces for for the Quota Club here in Estevan. They had a press conference at Houston Pizza, and gave these away along with their door prizes at the end of the night. There colors are blue and silver. So I filled the vases with blue Hersey cookies N cream chocolates!

A Little Bit About Myself

Born and raised in Estevan Saskatchewan, by pretty great parents and with my three older brothers, I always had a "plan". I love plans..making plans...thinking of plans...but even better then plans are lists. I will write a To Do List for just about everything. Then have a highlighter on hand to check my duties off once they are done.
When I got engaged to my fantastic husband, I was on a mission to have this completely unique and personal wedding, an event that 100% represented us. As any bride to be I became completely consumed in all things weddings. From the centerpieces to flowers, the invitations to the photos. Except after I was married I couldn't get any of it out of my mind.
I have always had a passion for colors, decorations, and the feel of a room. So when Julie, a friend of mine, got engaged and asked for my help I was more than honored. It was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. To come in and take away stress from the bride and groom, then to have the privilege to contribute to throwing this breath taking event....it was amazing.
My family and friends, have always asked me why I don't get into this field and I never really had a good answer back. It wasn't until I went for lunch with Julie after her wedding and she said to me "I just don't understand why you wouldn't".... It was that line that got me to where I am today.
Starting a business can feel scary, like you're the new kid going into elementary school and all you hope for is that people like you. Then I think.... no starting a business is exciting, I get the chance to do what I love, showcase my skills while helping people. It's nothing less than great.
