May Weddings! -- UWIB Blog Hop!

The Unique Women in Business blog hop for May revolves around weddings.  Woo Hoo!!  Just right up my alley this month.  Please take the time to visit each person's blog and comment.  We spend so much time trying to ensure we get these blogs just perfect for you.

Today's brides have the ability to shop all over the world for their special dream ideas.  No longer are they limited to what they are able to make themselves or find locally.   Such inspiration when you search the web.  Searching Etsy alone gives the bride unlimited ideas in ways to make her special day unique.

I searched the UWIBteam on Etsy for wedding ideas and found some lovely items.  Erin's famous Carrie necklaces for bridesmaids are universal.

Then what about those 'do it yourself brides' here's some awesome yo-yos from the I Love YoYo shop.

Yo Yo set of 6

Glitzy Events has Save the Date cards all the way through to your invitations and thank you notes.

Opulent Layered Invitation

 LM Creations has been making fabulous clutches, with many perfect for that special day; what about a nice set for the bridesmaids??

The recent Royal Wedding brought a spotlight to the fascinator and look what I found at Audrey Garden Lady's shop.

Now don't forget about the beloved pet.  The brides are now including their dogs in the wedding scheme in some manner.  They should be well dressed and who better than Suzanne at Crazy for Collars to dress them. 

Simple White Wedding Collar

Just searching through Etsy with the uwibteam tag will bring many ideas for the inquisitive bride.  Now, I want to unveil my latest bridal necklace.  This would be great for the bride or the mother of the bride. 

Coco Bridal Necklace

I am excited to see how this one goes over with the brides.  Now, let's all take a minute to hop to each blog on this list and leave a comment.  Let them know you read their blog and give them some input.  It is fun to see what everyone comes up with for this blog hop.

Contact me if you would like to join this inventive group of women.  We love to add new people to our group.  We learn from each other and support each and every person in this group.  Just love women supporting women!!

Happy Spring!! UWIB Bloghop!

Spring Butterfly from JMJ Creations

Red Trees from Beegrl

It is March and it is Spring!!  We all love Spring, don't we??  Well, it is finally here and the bulbs are up, blooming, and filling the air with fragrance.  The trees are budding out and soon all will be green.  As we drove farther south toward Oklahoma we noticed the trees were fuller and lusher the closer we got to my Mom's house.  The Red-bud trees were all in bloom and the countryside was interspersed with the gorgeous green leaves and the bright reddish-pink flowers.  The farther south we drove we found some of the white dogwoods were even in bloom.  I can hardly wait for the drive home because I know even more will be blooming.

Birds & Bees from Paperquick

So what does Spring mean to us??  I know I think of the blooms from the early bulbs peeking their little noses out of the dead leaves and grass.  I love the return of the robins, watching them choose their birdhouse in my backyard for their nesting. 

Easter Eggs from Crazy for Collars

I like to start putting out the bunnies and eggs with Easter in mind.  And of course, we all start thinking about spring cleaning!  What is it about this time of year that actually makes us non-cleaners want to wash the windows and clean out the cabinets?? 

So, if we must clean and organize, then so be it; but where to begin, the all important question.  You know there are many websites out there willing to help us de-clutter or organize our homes or workplaces.  I absolutely love the Fly Lady!  She has easy and step-by-step techniques for keeping things orderly.  Her technique is through coaching and many people need that.  Check her out at Flylady.net for some daily ideas. 

Then there is the list method and I love the List Plan It site.  She has many types of lists, including Spring Cleaning lists; ways to de-clutter your kitchen; and even recipes for making your own natural cleaners.  Pick up some hand painted bottles for those home made cleaners.

Bottles from Momma Goddess

  
I personally like the 'sit and think about it' method.  I enjoy sitting in my studio working on my latest creation and thinking about where I should start when I finish.  It really suits me, but it isn't for everyone.  Okay, if we must clean, then let's use cute handmade items.  So, while you do the blog hop, please watch for some great handmade ideas from the Unique Women in Business Etsy team.  Then hop back here and give me some ideas.  

Now let's do a little blog hopping throughout the Unique Women in Business realm to see what is on their minds for Spring.  Stop back to let me know what Spring means to you.  I love comments!
