I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I did, but I have no intention on eating turkey for the next month or two. lolThings have been a little slow the last few days, which is not too bad. I know I have things to be done, but I have been taking time to relax and do something for myself. I have been reading a bit on my Twilight book series . After seeing New Moon twice, I am now interested in read the last two books again.

I also wanted to create something I have been meaning to make for a friend for the holidays. I am sure once she sees this she will know it is for her lol (I am terrible at keeping secrets) but just in case I am not gonna say who it is for. :)
I created it as a necklace, but it can also be transformed into a charm bracelet if she would like that better. It is made of 90% old vintage buttons, but there are just a few newer buttons. I really liked the scratch and dent feel on these. The links where actually from an old vintage charm bracelet that I tore apart.
LASTLY I know it is a little ways off, BUT I was very excited to share that the location for my Marie's Danse des Fleurs Event is now finalized! I hope to have registration for my event open in April. I know that sounds a ways away, BUT I think it will be here before you know it! You can click on the button below to read a little more info about the event and teachers!
The location will be at Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa Florida. The location is on the outskirts of Tampa in a smaller part of town, which is very nice.
The location is about 30 miles from the airport, and they provide transportation fto and from the airport I believe for a small fee. There is so much to do right at the resort once you arrive you may not want to leave! They have a spa, tennis, golf, a fitness center, kids program, pools, MANY restaurants, sports bar and more.
Also located nearby is antique shops, malls, theme parks, Orlando, and beaches. There is plenty to do for everyone if you bring the whole family. Also the accommodations are beautiful, and they will be giving us a group rate on the rooms.
I am thrilled to be working with Saddlebrook, and I am super excited about some of the special things they are doing to customize our experience to be full of that over the top Marie flair. So be sure to start planning now, and don't forget to check back for updates.
Thanks so much for visiting
