FLOWERS by J: A lot has happened............

Hello everyone! Wow, it has been a long time since I have updated this blog! I just posted pictures from the Alexis Christmas Walk which took place here in Alexis on Saturday, December 5th. The Gregory family was nice enough to allow me to set up an area in their building to sell fresh arrangements and centerpieces, 4" and 6" Poinsettias and fresh and artificial decorated wreaths. I also set up a table at the Community Center in the afternoon because I had a few items left from the morning sale. Joel, my sister Liz and I also participated in the Christmas Walk parade. Joel threw out frisbees to the kids and I passed out red carnations to people along the parade route. The falling snow made it very festive and we had a great day! It was a wonderful way to kick off the Holiday season and I look forward to participating again next year!

The most important thing that has happened since the last time I wrote on this blog happened on December 29th. Joel and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Jayla into the world! Needless to say, she is the reason why I have not posted much on my blog because she has taken up most of my time! We are very blessed and lucky to have her and couldn't imagine our lives without her! She is a little over 3 months old already and I have slowly started to complete more and more flower orders. I am definitely ready for spring to be here so I can start working in my yard again. I am also starting to gear up for my 2nd annual Mother's Day Open House which will take place on Saturday, May 7th. I will again have a wide variety of gift items available for purchase. I can't believe that it has been 1 year since I started FLOWERS by J! It has been the busiest but best year! Don't forget to become a fan of FLOWERS by J on Facebook because I post pictures of every arrangement I do on there. Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on since the start of the year.
