Ready set renovate!

Hello everyone Pray your week is blessed as mines was and still is I know it was darlings.
I have acquired (3) new projects since my last post Yeah! God is so good. I have Kitchen re-do in another state a living room re-do.  kitchen and bedroom re-do this weekend, also have choir rehearsal in Patchogue Saturday for a performance April 5th...OMG! and this is last rehearsal so I have to be there. Busy busy busy....but guess what I love it!

The kitchen and bedroom that I am doing have to be done by Tuesday because the client will be coming home, I need to get curtains and décor items for the room, and accessories for the kitchen Friday; and have everything in place by the latest Monday evening.

So excited about this project the children decided to re-do the grandmothers house for her while she is away; and I tell you it is going to look fabulous. This project was started roughly 2 weeks ago! The kitchen was completely gutted down to the studs everything new cabinets, appliances, granite countertops, backsplash, walls, lighting and re-wired the antiquated wiring.

 Mind you this kitchen has not been renovated since the early 70's..yeah! big fun...

I know this is not a clear picture but you could see the recess lighting and tile on the floor that looks like hard wood floors.

sorry for the cheesy cellphone photo didn't have my camera.

but the project is going well....More pictures will be coming!

 

 

 

 

 

Have a Blessed weekend, Jesus loves us.

Ciao!!



Just a added touch!

So I took my flower arrangements to another level, was perusing the craft store acmoore.com and seen burlap and twine on sale $1.00 yes can you believe that price for a roll. You know I scooped up 3 or more of the delightful colors that were jumping off the rack at me, pink beige and teal. I am a advent frugal shopper and I get a warm feeling and get happy when I run across a bargain. I made the floral arrangements below and decided how would my arrangement look with a twist, I still have them in the acrylic water, but the burlap gives it that elegant look and the colors in the flowers are exquisite.

 Excited place your orders now we about to blow up!!

Spring arrangement the flowers look so real!! I am having a tea party this summer

and I can't wait to adorn my table with 4 or more of these beauties :)

 

 

this arrangement I made for wedding centerpieces!! flowers are artificial

bride gave them away after the wedding.

 

 

 

 

Creativity at its best!

Its Friday!

 I battled a upper respiratory infection this week, but the battle was short lasted roughly 3 days thank you Jesus for healing. Missed a day from work, so I had to catch up on some paperwork and bills for work - check that off the list done. Had an awesome lunch at work with my bestie jst now and we laughed as usual....So now I am just at my desk blogging and listening to some good gospel music...Love it! I must say I cannot complain about my job once I do my work and my employees get the job done we chill!! I don't have to micromanage them.

My creative gift has been flowing and I thank God, having a creative mind is such a blessing that we don't realize some if the ideas that comes out of our creativity, the and awesome Creator blessed. My pictures today are of the beautiful Moroccan picture frame I found at pier1.com maybe three years ago. Well I couldn't quite find anything to place in it because the picture would have to be very small maybe 2x3; so I opted in printing a few of my favorite scriptures instead and placed them in the frame.

I was also visiting one of my favorite website called hobbylobby.com they have some of the nicest items and unusual home decors, I found this sign below and loved it. Anyone who knows me that I love shoes!!!  I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but a pair of cute shoes for some praise and worship always helps! yesss.... 

 

My contractor who helped my husband build our home is very creative, this guy can build anything such a gifted man. My home is dynamite between his building and my designing we worked it out. Every year for the Christmas season he always makes something different reindeers, star, nativity scenes etc.. And he give them out as gifts. Something about handmade gift you just want to keep it forever and not re-gift. Just the though that someone took the time and created the gift and put it together is the best. 

Last year he gave out these Angels carved out of wood, I still have this sitting on my table in the living room even though the holidays are over so cute. 

 

So be creative let your, ideas come to life and watch the beautiful things that you can make.

Have a Blessed weekend!!

give and it will be giving back to you.

Hello,
Mostly everyone knows my love of flowers real and fake. I love the colors, smell and overall beauty if brings to any space. So I have this floral business that I have been doing for years now. The business has expanded way beyond my wedding planning business thank you Jesus. I have gotten contracts from nursing homes in the past year for orders totaling over 200 floral arrangements for each home, which by the way bought my business thousands of dollars in sales. So I have a few woman at my place of full-time employment that I consider my sisters-in-Christ, these woman exemplify character, grace, wisdom and elegance. There only a hand full but they are great woman to work with and our fellowship has expanded way beyond work. I make the floral arrangements and bring them in and adorn there desks with flowers (my desk also). These arrangements are artificial roses, carnations any flower that looks great and brightens there day.

Going off the path here a little but, its something about giving, that just stirs up my spirit and makes me feel wonderful. I mean just the simplicity of a artificial floral arrangement makes there day. We as humans get so caught up in ourselves and other affairs, that we forget that giving is what God wants us to do, think about He gave it all His son Jesus up on the cross, Jesus bleed and died for us. So why cant we give even if its just a hug, smile, coffee!! when you see someone at the coffee shop buy them a cup, bring some donuts in for the office staff. It's so much that can be done to make someone happy and it also brings joy to yourself. I Love giving its my nature not because I am looking for anything in return, but if God wants to bless me I am all for it!! won't complain no sir not me!! because God has blessed me and my family with so much, we just cant help ourselves in giving and helping.

      So see how I made my SPRING arrangement below!!! and try them yourself so much fun...

Ok....my trick to making my floral look like they are sitting in water is QUICK WATER....this solution hardens into a clear acrylic that never loosens or looses its color, I love the brand above because it does not turn yellow over time, some of the acrylics will. Those stunning floral & quick water can be bought at michaels.com this craft store has everything love it!! they actually had a great sale going on 40% off spring flowers. Any clean vase will do you can actually find the vases for $1.00 in some craft stores the acrylic on works in glass....

cut all your floral before applying acrylic and arrange them according to how you want them

 

add your solutions and keep stirring and stirring for about 5-10 minutes getting out all the little bubbles, once they are gone add you florals and let the solution sit for 24 hours.

 

and then you will have a gorgeous arrangement that will adorn any spring table, desk, kitchen or church alter!! hummm now there's an idea?

 

Have a Happy Day all and enjoy making your arrangements that will last forever!!

if you need any help just ask away and I will reply..

XoXOXOXo
