Fleurenasci — Gifts

Did you know today is the International Day of Happiness? Maybe that is why we all have an extra spring in our step. I love reading about all of the ways people are celebrating the day, including Pharrell Williams joining forces with the UN. Check this website out that features people from all around the world singing and dancing to Pharrell's song "Happy!" What a great idea. Fleurenasci is all about happy, from the flowers we use, to the products we create … it all brings us great joy to make others happy. So why not take a...

Snowjam 2014, a day that won't soon be forgotten. For me, it started off like any typical Tuesday. I was getting ready to head out to the monthly meeting of the West Cobb Business Association.
