Bonjour!
What a day, what a day, what a DAY!!!
I'm floating and feeling great. First, it's marathon Sunday, my favorite NYC-day of the year...thousands of runners test their strength and endurance, and take to a course through all five boroughs, while even more thousands cheer them on. I love it...makes me feel inspired and reminds me how strong and connected we all are.
Next, I was asked to be part of a very special scavenger hunt for two of my friends that ultimately ended up in a wedding proposal! I got to give a hint along the way...my friends came to visit me at the chocolate store where I work, where I gave them 2 cupcakes that had the clue to the next stop. Even though I wasn't able to make it to the last stop on the hunt -- the proposal stop -- I was just happy to be part of this beautiful day. Love is wonderful thing.
And finally, one of my idols came to the store. MARTHA STEWART! I love her! She came by 2 years ago on a super busy day, but I still managed to break away and take a picture with her. Today wasn't so busy, so Martha and her grandkiddies were able to just hang out for about 20 minutes, unnoticed and unbothered. In fact, I think I was the one chatting it up with her the most! Haha! Won't pass up a chance to talk to her...we chatted about turkeys, cookies, construction in the neighborhood...we even fixed a wobbly table that had led to one of the grandkiddies to tip a little cup of chocolate milk. Got everyone cleaned up and I got another picture with her. When she and the kids left the store, I let all my giggles go and a customer asked me why I was so giddy. I told her that Martha had just left the building and she and other customers couldn't believe they didn't see her. I guess it's better that way. Got more time for my chat with her haha! I'm such a nut!
So in the spirit of love, I made this...
Since most of the fun today took place at the French chocolate store where I work, I used my Bonjour set from Avery Elle. I wanted to make the tag look like the ornate tin ceiling in the store. It adds to the charm of the whole place, so to mimic it, I embossed and added some glitter. Here's the sketch I used:
This card will be entered into the Avery Elle October Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
