Hello Everyone - thank you so very much for stopping by to check out my blogspot. I'm honored you were here. There are many friends and family members that I need to thank for all of their love and support to me as I began this venture by "Faith" in March. First of all, I would like to thank the Lord for this wonderful opportunity He has given me to start this new business. I pray that I will always glorify Him in everything that I do because He is the "Real Reason for the Holiday Season" To my wonderful bosses - Jim & Amy thank you for your patience & support for letting me do ALOT of prep work while on their time clock. To Jim for introducing me to the word "Panache" and for his willingness to take the beautiful pictures of each of my designs. To Burak, Irem & Chad for promoting me and their great support. To Nancy for helping me with the typeface and slogan for my business. To Derrick for his endless hours of taking the typeface and slogan and putting it into the perfect logo because I was so dang picky. To my special friend Myra who did the layout for my blog and has taught me how to use the blog. To my best friend Shellee who has helped so tremendously with the in's and out's of the buying market and to my wonderful sister, Cindy who has been a huge encourager the whole way. I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH and couldn't have done this without you!

Celebrating Christmas in July
I'm sure it's really hard for each of you to even begin to think about Christmas while we're having these 80, 90 & even 100 degree temperatures. But as of today we only have 178 more days until then. It will be here before you know it and I'm always like a little child anxiously waiting for it!
When I began this venture 4 months ago I thought launching the business in July with a "Christmas in July" theme would be perfect. La Vida Mocha coffee shop was so gracious to offer to promote my business by choosing a patriotic themed tree for their shop. I've included in the post titled "La Vida Mocha Celebrates Christmas in July Slideshow", which is below, some pictures of their patriotic tree. Also in each of my other posts are a few shots of some other designs, please be sure to check them all out if you have the time. Unfortunately I didn't have a great deal of digital photos to include for my launch and the 35mm ones that I had scanned didn't look very good. So keep checking back with me as I add more photos to the blog.
During the middle of this month I will have the opportunity to travel to one of the world's largest buyer's mart, to check out the latest trends for the 2008 holiday season. I'm very excited to see all the décor that will be there and available to purchase for my clients. This year why not let Panache Designs help you by creating for your home, office or shop a warm, beautiful and inviting atmosphere for your friends and clientèle. Our services range from assembling your current tree and decorations to creating a unique holiday décor especially for you. What goes up must come down and we also offer disassembling and storage services as well. All you have to do is make a telephone call to book your exclusive engagement with Panache Designs today while spaces are still available and your worries for a unique holiday décor are over.
La Vida Mocha Celebrates Christmas in July
La Vida Mocha - Monroe's Specialty Coffee House celebrates Christmas in July with a patriotic themed tree. I think this design has been one of my most favorite as it honors some of my American Heroes - My husband's grandfather Carl Haywood, my father-in-law Jack Haywood, my father Robert Harris and my brother-in-law Jim Stegall. In the post below click on the slideshow's "View All Images" to see close up details of this special tree.
Be sure to go by and experience "Livin La Vida Mocha" during the month of July and meet Burak, Irem & Chad. You won't find a better cup of coffee anywhere. La Vida Mocha is NOT some "bucks" coffee. While you're there check out the tree - it will be on display during the whole month.
Visit La Vida Mocha's website to check out their complete list of coffees, frappes, lattes, & shakes by clicking under "Visit My Friends" on the right side of the blog.
