Blog Talk Radio.....

I had a blast today on air with the dynamic Vernon Harleston from the Blog Talk Radio show, "The High Road" and the powerful, passionate Dr. Taffy Wagner from Money Talk Matters. d
Dr. Taffy and I did not talk prior to going on the show. We both agreed that it would be best, to just let the conversation flow naturally. Just let our passion for what we do and what we believe come across in the message.

d

The interview was awesome and the response from the callers and listeners was great! They were so thankful for the show topic and started commenting and calling in early on in the show.

f

We we're having so much fun, the time went by so fast and we ran out of time! Vernon invited us back on the show, to continue the conversation.

Oh Happy Day!

Happy Saturday and thanks for stopping by! I apologize for not posting a Fab Find yesterday. With so much going on, I just didn't get to it. I think it's time to hire a VA and I have just the right person in mind! It's a beautiful thing though and I'm definitely not complaining. So many wonderful things are happening to CL! So many blessing's yet to unfold!
'
All I have to say is look out world...Something old, Something new...Out with the old...in with the new!! Stay tuned!
d
In the mean time, I'll keep bringing it here and listening to what you have to say. After-all it's all about you in the name of love!

Hey check out the article that HITCHMEDIA did on CL!
j
I mentioned back on May 17th, that I was interviewed by a writer and I'd share the article once it was live. The article is featured as a Top Story today, about Romantic Interior Decorating for married couples written by Jessica Q. Chen. A bit different than our Romantic Decorating, but pretty much the same concept. Let them know what you think about the article and they'll pass your feedback back to me!

Let's just keep getting better together! I value you and your feedback, it's why we keep growing and changing!

Behind the Scenes at the Television Studio!!

A few weeks ago I was invited to appear on the EveryDay with Marcus and Lisa Show to help them celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary live and talk about Creations of Love!

d

They were very interested in how we help couples celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, and those times when you don't really have or need a reason to celebrate!

Knowing the history behind the show and the FamilyNet network, I was very excited about the opportunity to meet them and be on the show! We had a blast, here's some of the behind the scenes photos! Everyone from security to hair and make-up was so warm and friendly!

One day I was on Twitter tweeting about an upcoming decorating job and hitchmedia was struck by the concept of an event we're planning for a customer. We had an interesting exchange about it and the next thing I knew, he was reaching out and showing me some love! I was touched by his words....."You've inspired me to write about your company for today's post!"
