Im gonna be a Florist!

NO NO!!!

 I wont be giving up makeup anytime soon, but after going to school for 2 different things ( Graphics and Imaging degree and a certificate in Family Law) and being in the work force, Ive come to realize I really dont want to work for anyone other than myself.

I love making people happy and creating something beautiful and recieving instant gratification. Make-up has done that for me, but I dont get to do it everyday for people.

I have family members who've had flower shops in Europe. I remember standing in the doorway of my Aunts shop and loving the scent of fresh flowers as you entered her shop. Everything was so pretty and peaceful.

She jut put on her little apron and started her morning.

Well I decided why not? I love flowers and I love creating something pretty that people will remember and it makes them happy!

 Of course being the person I am and knowing I need to know as much about something Im interested in ,I got to work and did some research on jobs and owning a shop as well as what schooling is needed.

There is a certification class and its about $1500. Found great info on owning a shop and how to become a skilled artist.

I went a step further and made a resume and a dedication cover letter. Dressed nice and headed out to the flower shop.
 Got to the second one and walked in at the right time.

The owner was there and we chatted. The following  week I started my apprenticeship

Ive been there almost 2 weeks and have made probably 75 arrangement's since Ive been there! Its so natural to me that I dont even feel like Im working
I love it! ,Its work and not just put pretty things together!  There is serious work to making arrangements, keeping flowers fresh and processing flowers.

Im so relaxed coming home and have learned so much thus far! Im excited to see where this takes me.

Im working with a High End Florist and Im blessed! 


God truly opens doors you just have to know when to walk through

Dont dance in the walkway with the devil expecting the door to stay open.


Love you all stay blessed, ! here are a few pics of my recent work with them!
