Big Changes Ahead!

I am in the midst of a big change in my career but things are looking up I just have to do whats best for me for a change. So many thoughts and so much contemplating I just have to stay true to my heart. With all of this craziness I just need to take a couple minutes and listen to this song and dance.
I also finally have some pictures of bouquets from Valentines day. Hope you like them!

A day of Sweethearts

I wouldn't spend Valentines Day any other way than in a flower shop. It is amazing to be a part of so much love. At one point during the day we had a lineup of six men staring at the card wall trying to find the perfect card for their sweethearts. I must have made 200 bouquets this weekend and each one of them for a guy who is either in love or falling for a special someone. Some men would take forever to pick out the exact bouquet that represented their sweeheart's personality perfectly. The real winners are the men who were sending bouquets to their grandmothers in retirement homes who no longer had a sweetheart. Each man I served reminded me of my sweetie trying to pick out a bouquet for me. Although we planned to celebrate Valentines Day on the 15th I still came home to the surprise of a bouquet from my favorite florist Coriander Girl. Having so much love around me made me feel all cozy inside.

What Palette Are You?

I must share what I have been working on all weekend for East of Eliza's blog. I ended up being the last result when all web companies had failed us. With no graphic design skills and no programs besides paint to try to pull offsomething slightly tasteful this is what I came up with. These banners are meant as a tool to help men pick out what kind of colour palette their significant other would like for Valentines Day. East of Eliza has a radio add playing on 97.3 fm which is why I have been working until all hours of the night trying to complete this mind boggling paint task before today! Anyways, please ignore all of the measurement and quality discrepancies I tried my best with what I had!

Taking a deep breath before Valentines Day.

Here is a little sneak peak of what I will be doing for Valentines day which is sneaking up on me like a mosquito. This is a little "Rose Garden" which I made just to give you a little sneak peak. I promise I will keep you posted throughout this lovely little hectic holiday. Although I may sound like I am dreading it I am actually excited for the little rush, it should be fun!
