What am I loving these days? My new flowy skirt from J. Crew:
Colorful plantable seed confetti that grows wildflowers where ever it lands:
And the fact that school is out, holidays are here and the weather is warm but not too hot. It's a great way to start July.
These favors...
grew into these [amazing] flowers....
Look at this HUGE plant growing out of a piece of plantable paper. Our customer Isabel chose Botanical PaperWorks' Celebration Grow plantable favors and these are the plants that grew out of the paper. Here's what she says:
Thanks Isabel for sending the photo and letting us know about your experience with Botanical's plantable favors. All the best to you too!
Hello on this rainy afternoon in Winnipeg. I'd like to say HI to everyone that I met yesterday at the Digital Marketing conference. It was a pleasure to meet each of you and to learn more about your business and how you are using social media in your marketing.
There are cool new products in the works here at Botanical, and we're loving these new plantable favors in bright, fresh colors. I'd love to know your favorite color. I think mine right now is Sweet Love as shown in green, but I love the pinks and blues and yellows too.
Today, my fellow women entrepreneurs are on my mind. I'm waiting to hear about Adriana from Tiber River Naturals. Has she had her baby? If you know, please spill. I loved the Tumbling Hummingbirds sketch from Kal Barteski. See her post here. And I always enjoy the blogs of sisters Chrissie and Lisa, both so creative and full of life.
Tonight, we're off to the Flood Relief Concert at the MTS Centre. Looking forward to bands/artists Moses Mayes, Tom Jackson, and many more. Have a great evening!
I think I'm finally warming up from tonight's freezing cold soccer game. The kids ran back and forth on the field working up a sweat while the parents shivered in the 3C/37F weather. After putting the girls to bed, I took the edge off with a hot bath.
Check out these new, fabulous plantable favors called Love Is In The Air:

I love this drawing, created by very young friend at ballet class on Saturday. My eldest daughter and I were watching our youngest in ballet class, and this little friend came over and asked to draw with us. She made the squiggles and the letters, and arranged the pens just so. It was a lovely, unbridled creative moment.
Speaking of creative, Botanical PaperWorks has just launched a new line of plantable wedding favors. Colorful, stylish and eco-friendly, each favor grows wildflowers when the 100% post-consumer waste + seed paper is planted in a pot of soil. The fine-grade cardstock onto which the plantable paper is affixed is made at a mill that runs on hyroelectric power and returns the effluent/waste water to the river CLEANER than it came in. Click here to see the entire collection.
On this beautiful Tuesday, here's a lovely comment from customer Karen Howe that I have permission to share:
Hello Janelle,
I just want to thank you for
the beautiful favors that I ordered! They came earlier than expected,
and I very much appreciate your putting my order through so quickly!
It's been a pleasure working with you!
Best Regards,
Karen Howe
Karen ordered the Celebration Grow Favors in the Love design for her event. The design and text are printed in cocoa brown (this photo looks black, but the print is actually brown) on seed-embedded paper made with 100% post-consumer waste.
Thanks to Wedding Fanatic for recommending Botanical PaperWorks and our plantable Garden Greetings™ seed paper. Here's an excerpt from the post and a link to the Butterfly in Flight plantable seed favor shown below.
Good sunny afternoon! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and took the time to enjoy a moment or two to rest and reflect. We gathered with friends on Saturday afternoon for a picnic at Assiniboine Park and got to see the newly hatched goslings and ducklings in the Duck Pond by the English Gardens.
So far today, I've had my weekly Operations Meeting with Stephanie and I'm getting ready for a strategic planning meeting with Customer Care Manager Jorge. With graduation celebrations across the nation wrapping up this week and next week, our focus now turns to summer weddings and wedding favors for garden parties, baby showers and birthdays like the Butterfly in Flight plantable favor shown above.
Tomorrow night, I'm attending a reception at the Winnipeg Art Gallery for Executive Vice President of RBC Shauneen Bruder. Ms. Bruder will be receiving the *new* 2009 Plantable Eco Calendar which is not yet available to the public - it launches in about a month. Here's the one that we did for 2008: 2008 Plantable Eco Calendar.
Have a wonderful day!
It's prime time for planning Spring Wedding Showers and Summer Weddings. A fresh plantable favor perfectly fits the theme of blooming love and growing families. This combination favor and place card is one of my favorites because
