Give a Quack!

We are so excited for this fun "Give a Quack" Fundraiser to benefit the Flutterby Izzyjane Foundation, a non profit organization that raises money to help families who are suffering the loss of a stillborn baby,and help them to cover the cost of funeral expenses. This will be a great event that will be fun for the whole family, complete with a rubber ducky race, prizes, food, entertainment, and butterfly release! Only ducks from the "Give a Quack" flock will be allowed to race, and can be purchased for $10 each or a flock of 3 for $25. All proceeds will go to the Flutterby Izzyjane Foundation, a truly inspired foundation that has already helped so many families in need. To learn more about the sweet couple who started this foundation, and their touching and inspirational story, you can visit their blog here, as well as their facebook page. Also, be sure to watch Danny and Molly Young's KSL news segment here. We hope to see you all at the races!

May Birthdays!

Michael Berndhart, creator of Colorstrology, writes: 

"The colors that we see all around us are a reflection of the sun's light in all its glory. It is magic made visible... you are a part of that rainbow of light and just as being born on a particular day under a particular Sun sign offers insights into your personality and nature, there is also a personal color that corresponds to the real you. It is the color that reflects the very essence of your specific birth date."

Color for the month of May: Bud Green

Healing, Rejuvenating, Prosperous 
Vital and assuring, this is the color of stability and healing. Bud Green opens the heart and rejuvenates the spirit. the sun moves through the earth sign of Taurus during the month of May. This earthy quality is prevalent as  the color green springs into action after the bleakness of winter and graces us with its presence. Bud Green gives us balance of strength and substance
Bud Green=Pantone 15-6442

Baby Shower Season!

We love doing events of all kinds! This weekend we had the opportunity to do an especially fun event, a baby shower! The color scheme of this shower was different shades of orange and lime green, and the floral arrangements reflected that perfectly- with a little splash of blue in honor of the baby boy and mother who the shower was honoring! It is always so fun and rewarding to add a little extra beauty to an event that is already naturally aglow! For this particular shower, we also provided a custom designed "wishes for baby" printable that each guest filled out to be compiled into a book and given as a keepsake for the mother-to-be. We wanted to share our love and excitement for celebrating new little ones by offering this printable to you for FREE! It is available in a variety of colors so just click on the image, save to your computer, and then either print at home, or upload it to your favorite print shop (Alphagraphics is excellent!) ENJOY!
