Happy Mother's Day!
For 2009, the trend is going for flower plant. It's value-added. With live plants, adding dazzling materials or designs... it will present the modern moms and change the traditional look on designs! Enjoy it!

Decorate the Governor's mansion 2008!
Well, it's a little bit late to post but better I would still like to mention this privilege.
It was a great opportunity and definitely honor to be one of the chosen talented floral designer to decorate the Governor's mansion.
The team is selected by Ardith Beveridge (the most creative and kindest teacher/AIFD), met at Koehler and Dramm for a short meeting early Saturday morning and then "marched" to the Mansion. I was so excited and nervous at the same time by walking through the doors.
We were greeted by wonderful staff and boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations. After a brief explaination, we started our exciting projects! I picked the sun room. There were 5 ceiling-to-floor windows and also all around the room. Tables, fireplace, lights, doorways, whatever you can think of... we decorated it ALL!
Before decoration:
Carra, one of the designers, was working together with me. We talked through our design ideas then started climbing up and down on the ladder. With many beaded garlands, branches, window treatments, ornanments... our hands didn't have time to stop. As the sun shined to my eyes, it also brought the decoration shiner and brighter. It was georgeous.
After decorated:
I had such a great time and met so many wonderful designers. The time just flew by. We wrapped up around 2 pm. It was so much fun. We got a little bit time left to go around and enjoyed other designers' beautiful work. Thank you Ardith for giving us such a wonderful and fun experience! Don’t hesitate to ask me to help again in the future!

Lakeland Floral
Last week, it was my first time visiting Lakeland Floral. They have an amazing design show. I learned a lot of different ways to design for the holiday season. Amazingly beautiful. Definitely, I purposed something for my design work. One of the designs is going to be printed on my business card!
Busy! Busy! Busy!
Whew... I have been super super busy with Little Fish Designs.
I have completed over 250 hours intensive floral design training. It has helped me tremendously.
Meanwhile, I am in the progress of redesign my business card & website. Pretty soon, they both will have a new look. I am very excited to present to my customers soon!
