I can't tell you how blessed I feel! My heart is overwhelming with sheer joy, and I want to thank all of you that have taken time from your crazy schedules to help a friend out! I've gone from "TEPID" waters to "ALMOST BOILING" at "Start Up Nation", because of your votes.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm very shy when it comes to asking for help, I certainly love giving to my friends, but I'm not so great in the "taking" department.. You're support and generosity has taught me a wonderful lesson, in the future,I won't be fearful of simply asking, after all, what is the worst that will happen!? lol..

The "Startup Nation" competition is ongoing through October, you may vote for each contestant once a day. So, if you have a millisecond in your day....lol, please help drive my meter to the "boiling point".

Rose Petals & Blooms thanks you, and more importantly.. I do!

~I have a Favor to ask all my Sweet Friends~

I am so excited to announce my participation in the "2008 Startup Nation" homebased competition. Celebrating America's most outstanding home based businesses and the people behind them.

f you have a moment, and believe my shop is worthy of a vote, could you please cast your vote for Rose Petals & Blooms...
Thank you so much, I'm really normally shy about asking, but would love to see my "needle" move from tepid to luke warm...lol!!! Thank you everyone, I do appreciate your support!

I spent well over a month on a project that proved to be very valuable

time wasted, that I could have utilized in a much more positive way...

Though the project was a bust, and is definitely ready for the burn pile,

I've learned from the mistakes I made, which will certainly help me in the future.

Have you ever had a project in your head that seemed so amazing, one of those special 'one of a kind', and drop dead gorgeous projects to boot,

just to see the end results were so off the mark? It perplexes me to say the least!!

So, back to the drawing board..

I'm ready to begin creating my new collection for Christmas and the

much anticipated opening of Lollishops.

I will devote all my time to my webshop and my creations...

After all, my ad will be featured in Romantic Homes in the October Issue

and I need my new collection finished and listed soon.

Oh if I could have known the outcome of my latest disasterous creation,

I could have saved myself the endless hours, sleepless nights and put my

materials to better use... coulda-shoulda-woulda! Isn't it priceless?!

Lesson learned~

Stop by my shop if you have a chance, I discovered quite a few gorgeous

treasures on the way home from a weekend trip and will be listing them all this week..
