Finalist in Koehler & Dramm designer of the year 2011

I am glad to annouce that I am one of the finalists in Koehler & Dramm designer of the year 2011. The topic was "An a-flair with flowers". The piece that I created was the "jewel belt".It took me a little bit time to figure out the machanics...but I enjoyed it once I completed! This was the first time that I felt not rushing through. It's all because that my husband had a day off and watched the kids!! I cannot say thank you.

(more photos to come!)

The next competition will be on stage... LIVE. It will be on March 5 at Minneapolis Home & Garden show at 7 pm. Be there or be square!

Working on my certification

In the past 3 weeks, I have finished 4 classes that will gear to my floral design certification. I am so excited that I completed all of them and passed with over 90 percentile! I relearned a lot about design principles & elements, business side of floral business, history & design techniques!
