Garden Party

I will be wearing my red, white and blue on Sunday to celebrate the 4th of July...but Saturday is all about pretty colors.  I'm having a little garden party with some of my friends and I've made a bunch of pretty flower corsages as party favors for them to wear while they're sipping white peach sangria and to take home when they leave!  I've made several colors so I'm hoping everyone finds one they like.  It's fun to surprise your friends with pretty things.  Happy holidays and have a safe weekend eveyone!

My Poppies on Good Morning America!

My friend Alexis Tirado was named Alicia Keys new head blogger for I Am A Super Woman - IAAS.com yesterday morning on Good Morning America!  She's amazing and I'm so happy for her... and she has fabulous taste in hair accessories.  She was chosen from 8,500 applications and I met her when she worked for Martha Stewart's website.  She's such a cool girl and so very deserving of this opportunity.

I was drinking my coffee watching Good Morning Amercia and waiting for the head blogger announcement when low and behold...Alexis won!  That made me super happy, then I realized OMG she's wearing one of the glam poppy hair flowers I made for her...on TV!  This made me spill my coffee,

 it's hard to jump up and down with a coffee mug you know.

Keep an eye out for her...she's got a pretty incredible future ahead of her!
