I love FALL! It's my favorite season - probably because it's my birthday season and now our wedding anniversary season! PLUS, it's Casey's birthday season too, the leaves are changing colors, K-State football, my fave apple cider candle and the cool weather. Oh, I LOVE fall.
That being said,
I DO NOT like my fall allergies.
Ok, so I have to tell you last week was probably one of the busiest weeks of my life. It wasn't frantic busy like I've experienced so many times before when there is so much to do and I have no plan on how it's all going to get done. Last week was "I have a plan" busy, which obviously leads to productive busy and when it was all said and done I just felt accomplished and not as if I'd been hit by a truck. Maybe it's maturity? Or just keeping calm and carrying on.
During one of those productive nights I turned to my co-worker who was at my house making floral arrangements for a work event that some CRAZY person decided we should host 4 days before a deadline and said:
"I NEED TO GET OUT MY FALL WREATH"
I proceeded to bring out my fall wreath and hang it on our front door. I made the wreath last fall but after it had been haning on our door the past week I decided it needed more bulk. So after a quick trip to hobby lobby and an evening or crafting on the living room floor I came up with this:
So Pretty!
Back to those floral arrangements.
Last week my company hosted a speaker at the country club and invited all of our women clients. There were about 150 women in attendance and I was responsible for the floral arrangements. Yes, a tax accountant by day and florist by night. :) I ordered the flowers ahead of time from a local floral shop. Then last Wednesday night a coworker and myself spent an evening putting together these little gems. It was a lot of work but I love the way it all turned out.
Here's the big arrangement for the front of the room.
I read about "inverting" roses, where you take a normal rose and turn out each of it's petals. Check out that hot pink inverted rose - they were awesome!
These are the small arrangements. We made one for each table and at the end of the event one person from each table got to take home the centerpice, so fun!
