What started as a creative experiment during my maternity leave quickly became an in-demand service that I really was not expecting.
While on maternity leave with my older daughter, I thought about starting a business that would allow me the flexible freedom I so desired to be available for her, and for any future children I might have. Serendipitously, I discovered the art of paper flowers and balloon décor as used for events, and let’s just say it was ‘love at first sight!’ I was mesmerized and as I started to practice the craft, I loved the creative outlet that it gave me. Actually, it was quite a self-discovery because I had never considered myself as a creative person. In fact, you might be surprised to know that I had studied and earned a diploma in accounting back in my native country, Guyana, months before I immigrated to Canada! I transitioned from a field so structured and systematic to an art so fluid and creative!
