what i love: it's awesome.

today's inspiration is the houston lifestock show and rodeo...it's OPENING DAYYYYYYY!!!
i work on two different rodeo committees, one that raises scholarship money for art students and one that gives directions to rodeo patrons....i love being involved with the rodeo, and i knew i would do it one day...and here we are.
i'm so excited!!!! my mom has been involved with hlsr since i was a little girl, and i loved getting to go with her to events and loved that people respected her involvement with the committees, and now, i get to do that! i'm helping out kids with a dream of arts scholarships, and helping lost kids and people all over reliant grounds...such fun!

so come and join the fun and visit me at the rodeo!!! (and if you haven't given money to the school art auction committee yet, you know where to find me!!!)

buyer's dinner = beautiful flowers!

3 february 2010

inspiration: FLOWERS!!

location: river oaks country club

what i love: the beauuuuuty!

ok so tonight was our buyers' dinner for the school art auction, and it was lovely. we had dinner at the river oaks country club, followed by presentations for some of the high bidders. it was really fun! i sat with some of our other rookies, and we had so much fun with the food and the open bar...

at the end of the night, we got to pick whatever flowers we wanted to take home, and i picked some white hydrangeas and these beautiful fire and ice roses...the pictures don't really do them justice (but the inside of the roses were this pretty peach color, and the outside of the pedals was this beautiful fuschia color....amazing!). really, all of the flowers were so awesome, with their delicately colored pedals, and their beautiful colors...i should really grow some of those or something.....

my little makeshift bouquet!
