Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2016: THEME REVEAL

Good Morning Cookies,

      It's been a minute since the last time that I've posted. I'm sure that the lack of posts have rendered this, otherwise vibrant and fun space, appear forgotten and abandoned. Abandoned...Temporarily -*Okay, a lot 'temporarily' time lapse*. Forgotten....Never that!- *Despite the way it looks...because looks can be deceiving, Cookies*. 

      I kinda of chalked it up to 'blogger's block'. So what better way to get back into the game, than an exciting blog challenge?


                                             Enter...
                                   *drum roll please*-

               the 'Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2016'.

 

                            What? Say you is the 'A to Z Challenge 2016'?

   It all started in March of 2010 when  Arlee Bird, the wonderful blogger over at Tossing It All Out and creator of this inspirational quest challenged her then, 200 new blogger-friends, to an April blogging challenge - blogging everyday, except Sunday.  To up the annie,  the posts had to be thematically from A to Z.   That year 100 bloggers not only took part in the challenge, but passed the word on to other blogger friends. Who told blogger friends.... who told blogger friends... who told - *You get the picture* - to the tune of 1300 bloggers taking the challenge, one year later!

    Three years ago,  Mina Lobo, an A to Z blogger, added another twist to the challenge by introducing the notion of blogging with a theme.  And the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge 2016 - 

                                     Theme Reveal was born!

A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal 3-21-2016


The #AtoZChallenge Theme Reveal gives the blog challenger the " ... great opportunity... to jump start ... the A to Z experience ... [by linking] up with fellow bloggers, scout[ing] out and bookmarking[ing] themes... and lur[ing] in wandering participants with your awesome theme..."


Without further ado....

Reflection:: Last Week...

The saga of the neglected Blog...

Thank Goodness for 'scheduled' posting! Otherwise, my blog would have gone silent for the entire week. Here's what happened...
On Monday of last week {I think that that would have been 30 March}
my event management company was contacted by a publisher of a premier Bridal magazine {who was producing his 2nd annual Bridal Gala- one spectacular event that is greatly anticipated, not only by local and surrounding Brides, but, by many vendor as well} to participate in this very stylish extravaganza. My mission: design a tablescape for a first-time competition being held during this bridal gala!
...Here's the catch... the competition was in six days!!! ....I accepted!... {YIKES!!!}.

As every business owner knows, this is time when all of your well-cultivated networking is essential. So, frantically, I manned the phones, tapping into every vendor that I could possibly could- all the while, trying to devise a winning 'tablescape' concept. The remainder of the week was a whirlwind of vendor visits, product selections & purchase orders. ...Leaving no time for my new,best obsession...blogging!

Well, the long & short of it was... after a very exhilerating but exhausting week... my table was competition ready by the deadline. The final results {aka} The Winner? So far, none of us who entered the competition has received the oscar winning phrase---'and the winner is'. So I'll keep you posted.

But I said all of that to say....

I want to post the posts from last week that were neglected and did not make onto the 'scheduled publishing'list *bad blogger*:
Without further ado...

Recap of an {almost} blogless week ...
