I'm inspired

by this.

I went to a design show last Sunday at Koehler & Dramm (my floral wholesaler), and another today at Lakeland. Wow! Some of the Christmas pieces were amazing.

So now I keep asking my mom: What colors are you going to do for Christmas? Do you need any centerpieces? Wreaths? Something?! I just can't wait to get out my glue pot and MAKE SOMETHING.

School

I haven't blogged much about school. I'm really enjoying it! Right now, my classes are Personals (corsages, boutonnieres, and hair pieces), Sympathy (funeral pieces), and Visual Merchandising. We do a lot of hands on (of course), and it's so fun to hang out with the other students while creating something beautiful (hopefully).

Here are some pictures of wristlets I did yesterday (ignore the wilting roses) with coordinating bouts. I love all the supplies we have at our disposal in school; rhinestones, buillion wire, ribbon in any color...

The pink roses in this picture are actually two rose petals rolled up. The green flowers are dendrobium orchids.

Craig & Lindsey 10-3-09

This was a very elegant wedding, and such a fun weekend! Best of wishes to the newly married couple.
I did bouquets, Coralie did corsages and boutonnieres and helped Lynda with reception flowers, and Lynda did all of the big pieces (and a whole bunch of the smaller ones too). I'm so grateful for their talented help!
Not sure why this stayed sideways... It's Lindsey's bouquet

Ahhhh. Such good memories.

It looks snow strange outside

I knew it was going to snow, but I guess I didn't really believe it. But sure enough, the ground is white. Wahhhhh, it's too early! Oh well, gotta get used to it. Time to pull out the snowboots and trudge to school. Ugh.

My voice is hoarse

from yelling and SCREAMING at the Twins game last night. I have never been to a more intense game. At times I didn't want to watch, but couldn't tear my eyes away. Tigers, bases loaded, one out. Eek. We worked out of that jam. And a whole bunch of others too.
The Metrodome was almost full to capacity. When the Twins did something good, the stands were one waving white cloud. Everyone received a homer hanky at the door. I'm sure many were twisted and pulled as people took out their stress on them. I did, until I put it on my head as a rally cap.
I'm so glad I got to go. Whether they beat the Yankees or not, last nights game was an unreal end to the season.

I'm going!

to the Twins game tomorrow! Disregard earlier post about my last Twins game at the Dome. This really is the last, and I CAN'T WAIT.
