This past week was exciting for several reasons.  One being I Spy DIY Style by Jenni Radosevich was finally out on Tuesday (buy it here or here.)  I've been waiting for months for this book to come out.  I ordered mine on Amazon and hopefully it will be here soon.  I first saw Jenni on the Rachael Ray Show a while back, then started following her blog.

Also this week, I noticed that there were flowers popping up every where in my yard.  This is our first spring in the new house so I had no idea what, if anything, would grow in the yard.  Keep in mind I have not planted a single thing all spring, and really haven't even weeded or managed anything at all.  I feel like the lady who used to live here drives by, sees that I haven't manged the flower beds, and curses me.  She obviously liked to garden.  I don't know that I have the patience for it.

After months of preparation, the Fashion with a Passion fashion show through Potentials and Youth In Need was on Wednesday.  Having the styling and clothing selection placed on my shoulders meant that this show all but consumed my work life for weeks.  I was back stage during the actual fashion show, so I didn't see how everything turned out, but I hear the models and clothes looked great.  (More on the show itself later.)

The week ended with an impromptu trip to Klondike Park in St. Charles on Saturday.

With the fashion show now over, I can focus on upcoming events in May and read my new book when it arrives.
