[ P E T A L O S at the AIPAC event ]

On March 6th, 2011 P E T A L O S had the opportunity to provide the flowers for the AIPAC event. They were such a fun organization to work with and we're so happy to be a part of this event! We'd like to say a BIG "thank-you" to ladies of Peter Corvallis for referring them to P E T A L O S.

FLORAL PALETTE: white & blue hydrangeas + pussy willow + stars of Bethlehem + aspidistra + seceded eucalyptus + tulips + Australian greenery

Day 12 - A picture of something you love-- FOOD

[ Day 6 - 11 . . .]

Sorry I got behind with m big St. Patrick's Day event last week however, I'll have some pictures up soon!

Day 06 -A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

There would be 2 people I would love to trade places with. Both of these women have established themselves within their category of work of floral and architecture. Their passion and innovation for design truly inspire me. I was fortunate to be able to view Maya Lin's exhibit while it was Seattle. It was completely breath taking. I hope one day to take a trip over to England and take one of Jane's workshops.

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item-- my wedding ring :)

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh. There are so many pictures of Deacon that make me laugh but these 2 top the list.

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most. My sister. The is the glue to our family. She's the most incredible and patient person I know!

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

floral palette: white hydrangeas + dianthus + mini protea + aspidistra + dusty miller (always my favorite to work with)

[Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts]

I'm horrible about writing about myself. I've been seeing more and more people on Facebook take up the 30 day photo challenge. So rather then a bio I thought I would take up the photo challenge myself and give you an opportunity to get to know a little more about me and P E T A L O S.

So here it goes . . . .

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts

1. I was born in Okinawa, Japan. Yes, I was a military baby and no I'm not fluent in Japanese. I wish I was though.
2. I love crafting things with my own hands--drawing, model making, painting and of coarse, flower arranging. I dream of learning how to sew but the sewing machine scares me
3. I have a Bachelor of Science in Architecture
4. I'm an avid CAR-eoke singer--not be to confused with kareoke. Within the confinement of my car I like to belt out a note or two. . .haha I'm not a great singer hence, why I sing in the car.
5. I LOVE my friends and family and would do absolutely anything to make sure they're safe and happy
6. I LOVE big hair! I'm currently growing my hair out :) Sometimes I think I should live in Texas to be amongst other big hair people.
7. I LOVE music and any kind of music. I classically played the oboe for 8 years . . .and yes, I was in band in high school. I admit I was a nerd and proud of it :)
8. I LOVE the outdoors and all outdoor recreations --hiking, snowboarding, surfing and especially rock climbing. I wish I had more time to do them more often.
9. One of my bucket list items it to sing the national anthem at a national football, soccer, basketball or hockey stadium to conquer my fear of stage fright.
10. Motherhood was the best gift I could ever ask for.
