I am not always the most creative person , so when I get the chance to learn how to do something new or crafty, I jump at it.

Like, almost literally.

A few weeks ago, I joined fellow Monarchs, Latanya of Sprinkles and Booze Whitney of Leopard Spots & Pineapple Dots for a DIY floral arranging ladies night event hosted by Ariel Nathan of Neatly Noted (a friend of a friend, I’d been dying to meet, plus secretly stalking on Facebook and Instagram…) and Shannon Gagnon of Azalea Floral Design.

There was SO much food, wine, and lots of shared laughs. I. HAD. SUCH. A. BLAST!

I managed not to cut myself and walked away with a super cute, flower filled Neatly Noted coffee mug.

I hope this was the first of many other craft events.

There was talk of a DIY flower crown night…
If so, count me in!

If you’re not in CT, there’s no need to be too jealous, you can get your very own mug here. Photos via the Neatly Noted blog. Except for the last one, that was me.
