Personal Quote
Life is what we choose it to be. We can make it great or not so great. Its simply up to us.
About Me
I am 57 years old and just sold my flower and gift shop after 30 years of business. Although at first I was very emotional because I loved what I did and met the most wonderful people on this journey. I now have no regrets because it has given me a time in my life where I can enjoy my family and friends without rushing all the time and being so very busy. I would do red hat workshops and demonstrations on how to decorate and embellish hats and accessories and making jewellery and this is what I would like to do now that I do not have the flower shop. I loved hosting many events that would have 260 red hat ladies dancing their little hearts out and will continue to do many red hat events.
