I had an amazing weekend. I flew into Oakland airport and enjoyed a nice ride with Patti and Diana to Brentwood. I absolutely LOVED the town, and the people. I was able to spent a lot of time with the store owners and their customers this weekend. It was just what I needed. I enjoyed and loved every minute of it.
I want to thank Maridette for taking all the beautiful photos for this POST!!!!!
The store had to redo their store to allow for all the students to come and attend the classes. SOLD OUT workshops and I was feeling so humbled and appreciative. The girls had their own CROWN to hold up when they needed to purchase anything and the owners were OVER THE TOP amazing to help everyone!
These crowns are from the TC Cartridge- BABY BOUTIQUE and created by Maridette.
Awww... the store was amazing and beautiful and had the most beautiful samples. Can you see my lines? Posh, Fabrications, and Notations.
I have to laugh at these photos- we arrived to a REALLY breezy windy afternoon. My hair was everywhere and so I embrace the "imperfection" of the hair part.
My fabulous friends Diana and Patti- I have known them for YEARS and I got to know them on a more personal and deeper way this weekend. I am grateful. I was impressed with their friendship, how they work together, the beautiful store that they have together and most important HOW gracious and kind they were to each and every customer. I think everyone feels so welcome. I know I did. They went above and beyond. They even had a huge fruit edible flower waiting for me in my hotel room. It was so great and I quickly told them I could NOT wait until I come again. Good good times!!!!!
I have to thank Danelle and Maridette for their amazing support during my visit and a wonderful yummy dinner on Friday night with the girls.
Loved this project with FABRICATIONS and yes, Maridette used Glimmer Mist to change the fabrications flower to purple. GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Class set up prior to students arriving.
I was happy to be asked to sign a lot of my idea books. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to do the book and it's a treasure to me.
Diana, Patti and I in front of the store. It is so well worth the trip to visit their store. Can you tell I can't wait to visit again? Yes, I enjoyed shopping during my visit. They have items that I had never seen before.
I have MORE photos to post tomorrow from my visit!
However, I wanted to document my family and what the past week in our family. I will start with McKay's photos from Senior Prom. She had a fabulous time with Jake (her friend.)
I know that she has had the best time in high school. Here she is with her besties- Carissa, and Josilyn.
I loved her beautiful blue dress. Here she is with her friend-date, Jake. The background is the city of Salt Lake City.
GIRLFRIENDS at the PROM!!!!
Aubanie and McKay...drill sisters!!!!
McKay has one more dance this year- Spartonian Ball. Oh, the life of a teenager!
This is the FINAL weeks for Gentry at BYU. She will be coming home this FRIDAY. This year has been wonderful for her. She made so many great friends. I wanted to share some photos from yesterday.
Yes, that is my daughter on Utah Lake in a Kayak. This is her friend Devan.
Gentry, Carlee and friends spent some fun times at the lake yesterday. I LOVE seeing her enjoy being in college and thankful for the friends that she is making.
These are sure to be wonderful lifelong memories.
Now... a BIG BIG thing for our family is this FRIDAY!!!!!
Matt will be graduating with his Business degree from Brigham Young University. We will be there to cheer him on and see him get his well earned diploma. We are so proud of him and how he went to college, served a mission for our church, worked the entire time during college, got married to Kayla and had TWO kids since he graduated from high school.
He is driven and is the most positive person- full of promise and is always happy. You just want to hang out with him!
OKAY... cute PHOTO alert-
