Diamond Street Recycling at Boise Flower Home and Garden Show 2012

Went to visit Brett and Greg at the Boise Flower Home and Garden Show this past weekend. Diamond Street Recycling, my families business, had a booth there again this year.  Brett was in charge of decorations and putting it all together, with a little help from my mom and me.  Here are some of the pictures of their booth, the materials they sell, and our outing, which includes a little photo sesh with Grandma and Haddie in the alley downtown Boise.    Almost 100% of this display was recycled, doors, tin tubs, milk jugs, product stands, carpet, wine barrel, flyer stand, tin man, lawn mower, picked fence, chair… I made the green and white signs for the products for them using my amazing cricut machine, and made the stands out of recycled rocks and metal wire for them to stand in the mulch.  Brett and Greg working hard to spread the word about the products Diamond Street has to offer.  Aren’t they cute!                                                  Haddie loved the baby chicks they had at the booth next to Daddy’s!!                                                         Brett and I at lunch…

       

Training Haddie young to be a dumpster diver, like Mommy and Grandma.  “Reach for it Haddie, one mans trash is another mans (woman’s) treasure.”

Week 12

Week 11

Let the planning begin…!!!

The planning has begun for Haddie’s FIRST Birthday!!!  So excited, and quickly running out of time.  To be perfectly honest I have been planning this for at least 2 months, but many of you know I do better under pressure, so I just began refinishing and creating for the big day.  Good thing that next week I have off from school for Spring Break, I need it to get ready and finish all my ideas for the party.  Hope to see many of you there!!!

Here is the beginning of refinishing!!
