This Is The Year

Okay, okay. I know Halloween is still more than 2 months away. But is anybody else so over summer? I mean...the kids are going back to school...but it's still so freakin' HOT! Doesn't the thought of the beautiful changing colors, cool Autumn nights and all the fun "togetherness" the fall and winter holidays bring just make you excited for the changing season? No? Well how about this...the thought of all the last minute cramming to get Halloween costumes made again this year just puts you in a BAD mood, and you're planning ahead to avoid repeating this scenario AGAIN this year!? I really am excited for the seasons changing, and once again I am vowing to plan ahead so I can be more prepared, and REALLY enjoy the holidays. I bet Vivienne NEVER stresses during the holidays because she's so ridiculously organized and prepared! I wan to be Vivienne this year! So I've been trying to decide what to do for the kids' costumes this year. Heres what we had g...

So here I am. I'm sitting in the middle of my living room floor. "Why?" you ask? Well, because. It's because I am exhausted. Today Ribbon Blossoms had a booth in a boutique held at a local historic farm. Do you know what that means? That means that for the last month I have been anticipating all the unanswered questions, such as "How will we stage our booth? Will there be a good turnout? Will we make our booth fee back? What items should we showcase? Which things should we concentrate on making the most of? For the last month I have been anticipating everything I need to do to prepare, and not let my business partner down, and then, suddenly it was 4 days 'til the show and I had wasted a month thinking about all that I needed to do, and now only had 4 days to finish!! So, reminiscent of my high school days, and true to form, I spent the last 4 nights CRAMMING! Yes my friends, I have pulled all-nighters most of this week, sewing, cutting, gluing, fake-swear...

Go check it out, and while you're there, learn about the 2 little miracles who are the honorees of this little celebration.

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about my wonderful friend. Tanielle is my friend and business partner. She is the craziest (said with love), craftiest, most organized person I know. A couple years back she told me she wanted to start making and selling hairbows. As I was looking around online, researching what other sellers were doing for pricing, shipping, etc. I saw some really cute things and thought "I want to make bows!" I asked her if she wanted a partner and Ribbon Blossoms was born! We have had so much fun, even if we haven't yet achieved wealth unmeasured! You can visit her adorable blog here . 5 things I love most about her: 1. She is such a good mother. I always feel like I am telling my kids "not now" whenever I am in the middle of something and they interrupt. I have witnessed so many times where she stops what she is doing to listen to what they have to say, or look at what they want to show her. Lucky kids...I want to be more like that...

Just wanted to do a quick spotlight on my small business venture. Being the mother of three little girls can be overwhelming and exasperating! But also rewarding and inspiring. My little girls are my inspiration for Ribbon Blossoms Chic Boutique . I have joined forces with a wonderful friend who has 3 inspirational daughters of her own. It started out with hairbows and headbands, but is quickly expanding as we learn new ways of doing things, and get fun new project ideas. Everything we make is something we know our own little girls will love, so we are confident in the smiles our items will bring to other little girls. Our line has grown to include bow holders, bracelets, bibs, tutus, pixie wings and more. We have many new ideas in the works as well! Our website is currently under construction, but in the meantime we have several listings on daisycraft.com . Here is a small sampling of some of our products.
