Goodness gracious blog, it’s been far too long since I’ve updated you…. I’ve missed you! No, I have not been eating bon bons and watching re-runs on Bravo, although that sounds like a plan for an afternoon in my near future. : ) I have been a busy girl with sessions & my ribbon cutting for the studio! Woo woo!!
It all went down this past Thursday and we had a fabulous turn out. I can’t describe the gratefulness that wells up inside of me each time I take a step back and realize where I am in life. I have an amazing support system and the job of my dreams. Thank you to everyone who came, or who couldn’t but whose thoughts were with me. Thank you to Lisa & Heather of Fleur Bloom for giving away such a pretty basket of Fleur Bloom goodies! {which is still up for grabs by the way, check out Facebook for the details}
Thank you Quincy Chamber of Commerce for having the event and for all of the members who took time out of their day to come! Thank you to the man in my life who makes nearly everything possible ~ you keep my dreaming. And thank you to my parents for all of your unconditional love and encouragement. I am such a lucky, lucky girl..or I’m blessed I’m not sure, or maybe a little bit of both. : ) {why does it feel like I just won an award? ha!} Without further a-do, here’s a peek at what you may have missed…
Of course we had to have treats, no JLP party could be complete without them : )
Yummmm, these cookies were soft and so dericious!
Sophistication in a bottle! I feel so cool when I drink these : )
I'm pretty sure half of wal-mart heard my discovery of these Cracker Jacks. I have not had these since I was a kid and I used to enjoy them regularly with my mom : ) They taste just as yummy as I remember, but I somehow I remember the prizes being much cooler.
Cupcakes aren't real cupcakes without sprinkles, fyi. Oh and these frosted animal crackers were the hit of the party : )
Goodie bags with some bling!
Of course the procrastinator I am, these weren't being made until 2am the night before. At which time my boyfriend & I dubbed them as "Party Poms" Spread the word, that's their name. : )
Pretty Party Poms : )
Thank you Heather & Lisa of Fleur Bloom for making such pretty things to offer in my shop! This basket is still up for grabs in my giveaway which is SOOO easy to enter. Check out my facebook page for the details!
So Pretty <3

And on your right you'll see the only thing I can acceptably sew ..
Can you tell I love newborns? Yup, they're the bees knees : )
Don't you love my braid? I was so proud of myself for pulling this off. : ) And thank you Lisa & Heather for the GORGEOUS grey rosette that perfectly coordinated with my dress. {muah!}
And here's what I was doing at 1am the night before, making these scrumptious little rosette clothes pin magnets. {can anyone help me think of a shorter name ha?} Anyways, they're so freaking cute! I have some left if anyone wants one, stop in and ask! : )
Itty Bitty Favors <3
How crazy is it that I have 2 of the sweetest women on the planet in my studio, at the same time! Lisa Weiwel on the left designs all of our Fleur Bloom jewelry products that you can conveniently find in my studio. And my mommers there on the right is well, she's just best. : ) And the handsome fellow is my step dad!
Carnations...who knew they could be so pretty? : )

My favorite shelf in all the world... I wish I could have 10 more <3
