The Beginning

Here goes nothing.  After two years of following many talented bloggers, I have finally created a blog! It's a bit intimidating since I have been following so many for so long.  Yet, I could no longer hold out.  I'm going to use this blog as a record of my life and a way to share my newest projects.  No I'm not a talented crafter, but I do love a good before and after.  Oh my, the things you can improve with paint!

I suppose the title isn't exactly self-explanatory.  My husband and I love poppies, our wedding theme was California poppies. It dates back to our early dating days.  While on a walk six or seven years ago, yeesh is that possible? am I old enough for that?!?! anyway... my then boyfriend who would later become Mr P and P pretended to pick one after I goaded him into it since it's illegal to pick them here in California.  Ever since it has been our thing. See our wedding cake...those are California poppies as our topper.  Our cake decorator did a fabulous job creating them for the first time ever! I couldn't decide on a cake topper for the longest time and then my mom had the wonderful idea of it being meaningful with poppies!

And we honeymooned in Paris which was amazing.  I still miss it.  We spent two glorious weeks pretending to be Parisians in our studio in the Marais.  If we could, we would go every single year. We are hard core Francophiles. At one point I even considered getting a tattoo of a fleur de lis, but I wimped out. ouch!

So here begins the adventure...
