Flowers in a bucket

I haven't done a "creative" blog in a while, but I was searching for images for a project at work, and the search including looking for a bucket - and these beautiful images came up! It's a pretty cute idea, actually. If only I had a green thumb!

1 Year Daisies!

Justin's not typically the kind of guy who understands why a girl wants flowers. But he did ask me several times over the last week or two if I was SURE I liked/wanted Daisies. And he made sure he knew what Gerber Daisies were. He handed these to me and said "I got those because I figured it had a lot of things that you would like, and I know you like those bright colored daisies".

So maybe he forgot they were called "Gerber daisies", but at least he knew what they were and remembered. :) Now hopefully I can keep Bailey from trying to eat them!

I want to have fresh flowers everyday...

In honor of Spring, I now have a colorful (and sparkly) new layout, and some beautiful shots of my new favorite flower - the Daisy!

Where have these bright colors been all my life?

Apparently, I’ve been into really bright colors recently. And I think it’s a conspiracy to get me to like them! Normally, I stick to black, grey, blue and occasionally I’ll venture into green or red. Usually, they’re bold colors, and mostly “dark”. But I’m talking about bright blue, bright pink, bright green, etc. Maybe it’s the Spring weather approaching (after about 3 blizzards this month) or maybe I’m maturing – who knows. What I do know is that I’m really digging bright colors! Now, why would I suspect that I was being “bred” to like bright colors?

Case #1: Technically, my mom bought me the kit, but I put it together myself! Every year she gets me some kind of sparkly egg coloring kit for Easter and then it’s up to me to decorate! Here are some of this years eggs (that I haven’t posted yet – oops):


Case #2: Yesterday was Administrative Professionals Day. I provide administrative support to 4 training managers, so I fell under that category. They got me a sparkly card (I’ve trained them well!) and the most amazing flowers that I’ve seen in a LONG time!! I think my favorite flower, the tulip, may have a contender to Gerber Daisies!! (and Starbucks too, but I didn’t think that warranted a picture).

Birthday Sparkles!

I had a GREAT birthday!! I really happen to be surrounded by people that want to make me happy and enjoy seeing me happy. It all started off at work...

This is how my office looked when I came in...sparkles everywhere!

I had a banner taped to the front of my desk!

These little shiny stars were EVERYWHERE!! People were tracking these all through the hallway...even into the bathroom!

All of the handles on all my cabinets had curly ribbons.

The other angle of my office, with stars and balloons!

My boss brought me my favorite Starbucks - Raspberry Mocha!!

The stars even made it on my keyboard!

Messing around with my shiny stars!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Dinner at the Sunbird Restaurant, overlooking the Springs!

Another view of the city!

I got my favorite flowers from my mom, and Justin! I love tulips!!!

And Justin knew I liked flowers, so he got me a kit where I could grow my own!

And apparently it's not even done yet! My parents took me to dinner tonight, and Justin is taking me to dinner tomorrow!!! I LOVE my 25th birthday, and it was just amazing.

And to top it all off, Justin is willing to watch MAMA MIA with me tonight!!! :-) Gotta run!
