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.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
