RESPECT? Are We Ignoring Our Natural Intelligence?

If you know me, you know I am passionate about several things... health, helping others, creating beauty around the environment that you live.  Concern about the things that makes life en"joi"able...it lead me to the share this movie!  I want to share this with you- I'm not sure how long you will be able to watch this...but instead of watching that reality show today...watch this as it may impact your life!
Love you all!

Lovin' this Chandelier...

Always looking for great ideas!  We have a big project we are starting.  We have a client in Highland Village that is getting ready to sell her home & wants us to help her decorate it so she can put it on the market.
Saw this and I am falling in love with these drum chandeliers & the crystals! What do you think?

Where does Our FOOD come from???

I watched this movie several years ago & wanted to post it for all my friends.

 Do you know where our food comes from? Watch "FOOD,Inc."  There are several other good movies out there that really explain GMO's too.  I'll try to find it & when I do I'll post.
Food Inc Movie: This is a free movie so please pardon the delays in streaming & ads.

Looks Like Weddings are in the Air

My girl friends daughter was getting married!!!  So, since I have no daughters & may never get the chance to help with a wedding-I asked if she could use any help?  She said she would love it!  So, we started on a journey together & have now become great friends!!!
I knew it was a lot of work doing a wedding....I was right, we even did all the custom design work for all the elements of the wedding too. 
We pulled out my trusty silhouette & we began designing...We had an absolute blast!
The first thing that she said her daughter wanted was a fan program....being that it was going to be outside in Texas in the month of June....it was going to be H.O.T. 
So, this was the front of the fan & the custom design that we made!  Actually the picture isn't even as nice as it was in real life.

 

 

The front & back sides where glued together!  We could never leave anything with out a little bling...see the pretty diamond rhinestone for the dot after the B?  They turned out beautiful!

 

Here is the pretty basket all decorated-simple but elegant! 
I love it!

Then we had this brilliant idea to make a cute design of the wedding cake & describe what the layers were going to be!

Of course we had to add a mat to spiff it up!  I had to pull out my mat cutter & relearn how to cut mats!

 

Then my gf wanted to make a pretty mail box for the gift cards that guests would be bringing to the wedding!  She spray painted it a beautiful gold & bought the cute ornament birds!  I couldn't wait to get my hands on this project!  We removed the ornament holder portion & decorated the birds then the mailbox!!!  I absolutely think this is my favorite thing!  

Just before the wedding!
