Pink Bride Magazine Event

This month has been a whirlwind! So many wonderful opportunities to take part in.One was designing a space for The Pink Bride Magazine Bridal show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

It all began with the company Catalyst Weddings and Events. Danielle Loeffler is the owner/creator of Catalyst. It is about event planning with purpose. The purpose is giving back! Imagine all those things you spent so much money on going to a greater cause. I love the idea and I love that Danielle took off with it!

This was the look a few weeks ago in Murfreesboro. I sweet vintage display! For the next show we wanted to do something different. Go to the Feb 23rd blog post at Catalyst to see our feature!

After several changes due to color and space, we came up with a garden theme.

We had an 8x16 space draped with black curtains. We covered the floor this time so we wouldn't see the ballroom carpet.

This is the BEFORE:

 

Pretty dull and boring but a clean slate for something creative.

This is the AFTER:

A spring garden look with blues and yellows. I just loved the pop of color!

There are a lot of wonderful things going on here. I can't wait to show you some more. I will show you some of the crafts we did for this space. Donna from Pink Bride Magazine said that the trend for weddings are going more like our booth!  She is seeing the change in her magazine also.  Yay! We are trendy! See those flowers on the wall, yesterday as I was trying to get some much needed rest, I turned on the Ellen Show and they had some similar on their set! I was a little excited about that!

I would love to know what you think about it! Please leave me a comment! It is nice to get feedback!

I am taking a few days off! Tomorrow I go for a 90 minute massage! I cannot wait! Thanks MOM! (it was a Christmas gift)

Oh and check out some new things in my Etsy shop to the right of this post!

It is My Blogiversary!

Wow it has been a year already! I started this blog and really didn't know what I was going to do with it.  I just started writing and doing crafts. I figured if I just wrote about something maybe just maybe someone would be interested. My first post with lousy pictures!

The day I got a follower, I remember getting so excited. Then I started getting comments! Those are the best! My post of a painted hutch that I thought about getting rid of was the first big furniture project. Also this became my first post to receive so many comments. From then on my blog transformed into what I love to do.

If you read My Year In Review you got to see the many opportunities, projects and friendships that came along with this. I truly am thrilled every time I hear from one of you. I have virtual friends on the blog and some I even talk to on the phone! I'll never forget the first time I talked to Lesley from The Homeless Finch on the phone. It was so weird to hear her voice after emailing her for so long. She was just as I imagined! I cherish each and everyone of you!

My Etsy shop was an idea from a fellow blogger Dawn from The Feathered Nest inspired me and helped me along. I will never forget her precious words of encouragement. And Debbie from DebbieDoos who hosted a newbie party and told me to turn off my word verification and make sure I wasn't a no-reply blogger!

All these people were so helpful to me and I will pass that along to YOU!

I will announce a giveaway on Monday to celebrate ONE year!

Thank you for all you do for me by listening reading comment and just being a friend! I hope you are glad you are here with me! Let me know if there is something different you would like to see this year!

I am always open to suggestions.

Blessings!
