INSPIRED SHE Edition: Women's Expo



K. Simone Designs is a business my husband and I started years ago. Since then, we have seen our highs, lows and even renewed times. It's been a challenge but for the first time in a while,  I feel more focused on breathing life into my creative endeavors.  So, when I heard about this women's expo, I just knew this would be good inspiration for me and it was.

Recently, my husband and I attended the Ultimate Women's Expo in Anaheim, California. This was our first time and it was awesome. The Women's Expo host several of these events around the country every year.








When I walked into the event, the dj was pumping the music and the ladies were radiating happy, fun vibes.  There were numerous vendors selling everything from make-up and hair tools to clothes and jewelry to homeopathic health products. Many women (and a few men) enjoyed the arts and crafts, painting activities, massages, cupcake decorating and even exercise areas. I missed the fashion shows, but maybe next time I will get to see that. (Love fashion shows!)




Here is a hobo wall hanging project I made.  The sample looked like one of those "dream catchers." Not sure what I will do with it, but it was fun sitting there with a bunch of others crafting.




Many topics were covered on the main stage. On Saturday, I saw the Food Network's Chef Anne Burrell and this other wonderful entrepreneur and author L. Renee Richardson. She overcame such odds and created a successful business with her husband.

I had such a good time Saturday, that I went back Sunday to hear more speakers. Mompreneur and actress Tori Spelling and financial coach Lynn Richardson gave good information about overcoming fears and provided practical financial steps.

When I got home that night, I was so full of inspiration and more motivated to look at my dreams with hopeful anticipation. Not sure where all this excitement is taking me but I am up for the ride.

Now that is my inspired face leaving the expo and re-entering my dreams.

Emmy's 2010

Did you watch the red carpet last night for the Emmy's? I love watching these award show red carpets more than the show itself.  I just saw the pictures online. One the sites I looked at was radaronline.com. These pictures are from there. First, I liked the navy blue one.  The dress had lots of drama and she wore it well. The purple one was interesting.  Still trying to decide if I like it. Maybe it would have been better with the layers on the bottom but not both.  I really love the color and the idea. Maybe a little too much going on. radaronline.com This next dress worn by Eva Longoria was so pretty. The black flowers on the bottom of the dress was so stunning! She looked  great, too. I wonder how the dress would look in a lighter color? Maybe the floral details would show up better. radaronline.com Out of  all the dresses I saw these were the most interesting ones. I was a little disappointed there weren't more WOW dresses. Also, there were s...

Valentine's Cards

Happy belated Valentine's Day. I hope it was a sweet one for you all. I just love making greeting cards for this holiday.  Nornally for Valentine's I make red and black cards which I love but this year I decided to add some pastel colored cards to my collection. Earlier this year, I made some cards with this beautiful paper pad from Michael's. I loved it so much, I just had to see if I could use it for Valentine's and they look great to me. Details:  Recollections Paper is from Michael's 6x6 paper pad called "Blush and Mint."  Flowers made with my Spellbinders scalloped circles.  Take a look! Do you feel the love? LOL! Cards are 5x7 in size. See the heart in the center? Love that idea!     Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...
