Feeling the Love...Of Weddings in the New Year

Happy New Year from K and K Floral and Design! So many thanks to all my family, friends, and customers for helping to make 1012 a wonderful year and for your great support.

I absolutely love Christmas-it's my favorite time of the year. In my family, we get together to wrap our holiday gifts and make handmade bows and tags to decorate our packages. I no longer live near my daughters, but the tradition continues with them. What's your favorite way to package gifts?

My oldest daughter's wedding day was this past week, and what a wonderful day it was. Christine and Yome had been dating for 5 years, and I was simply thrilled that they tied the knot. 

The wedding ceremony and reception were both beautiful as Christine has a wonderful sense of style, and I had the distinct honor of designing all of their wedding flowers.

I love unique handmade gift wrapping techniques, and they're perfect for all your bridal party, groom's dinner, reception favor, bachelor and bachelorette party, and baby shower gift giving needs.

Well folks, the Benefit For Breast Cancer at Murphy's Law in Cleveland, Ohio was a smashing success! $9500.00 was raised with every penny going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation because absolutely everything, including the food, prizes, and raffle tickets, was donated.

So many thanks to the owner, staff, patrons, and friends of Murphy's Law for your generous time and talents. As for me, I did some online marketing for the event, and helped to keep the food replenished during the…

Feeling the Love...Of Fundraising

I love fundraising and helping others. I was taught by both my maternal grandparents and my step-dad that it is much better to give than to receive, and I completely agree. There is no better feeling in the world to me than giving to others-it's the heart and soul of me-my very being.

Donating to the Susan G. Komen Foundation is a great wedding favor idea for your guests. You may provide small envelopes at each place setting…

Saying thank you and feeling appreciative of receiving something means alot to me. My grandma was an amazing woman, and she instilled this wonderful value in me right from the start. It's not just about saying thank you-she wanted me to mean it. Thank you, grandma, for raising me to appreciate what people do for me and for appreciating the little things in life-I love you.
