Holiday hope!

So we finished our finals!!! Well so I had to do a whole class in the week of finals, as well as my other four or five finals. Stephen managed everything well and did really good!

Know we are heading to Albuquerque tomorrow, and I can't wait till I can see my little mom, my hilarious dad, and of course my brother's and sister's families. I am most excited about the kids, they are at such fun stages right now!

Lastly, I am doing a really cool lesson for our Valiant 12 primary class. Since its the Christmas season, we are doing a Christmas lesson about the real meaning of Christmas. I was also able to get some free ties and little scripture size bags for our kids since they are 12 now and need to act like they are older and present themselves as older kids.

I can't wait for this break to actually start because I am only recovering from the week of finals as of now.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Flowers! Oh how I love flowers!

Well since some of you know that I had a pretty big wedding gig in November I thought I should share some of the photos that were the result of my work and expertise in flower types and techniques! (well the photos never loaded, sorry)

The bride and groom were great to work with. The bride specifically said rust orange, cranberry red and eggplant/a deeper purple. Well I worked with what I could and actually everything ended matching the table clothes almost perfectly in the reception barn that they had used for their reception.

Then on January 22, I had a wedding that I did with my sister (she did the photography) where the couple wanted everlasting botanicals (aka fake flowers). It was pretty interesting and they turned out great but it was not my favorite way to do wedding flowers.

I am really excited to get more business because I love making bouquets and arrangements for other people. I wish I had pictures but they just won't load. SOrry!
