TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN BLOOM πΈ
Twenty-five years of blooms, big dreams, beautiful people and a whole lot of flower-filled adventures. What a year to celebrate!
Well, here we are! As we wrap up our 25th-anniversary celebrations at Floral Fixx Design Studio, my heart is feeling just as full as our flower cooler. And if you know our cooler, that's saying something! π·
When I think about the journey from the early days of starting my flower business to everything Floral Fixx has become, I think of the incredible people who have been part of it: our customers, our team, our families and this wonderful Winnipeg community. There have been late nights, early mornings, creative ideas, a little chaos (okay, sometimes a LOT of chaos), and more flowers than I could ever count.
But mostly? There has been so much love. And that's what I want to celebrate.
One of my absolute favourite parts of this anniversary year was getting to celebrate with the people who help make Floral Fixx what it is. Behind every beautiful bouquet are hands that prep, design, wrap, organize, deliver and somehow find the missing ribbon at exactly the right moment. I truly couldn't do it without this team.
And to everyone who has ordered flowers, walked through our doors, recommended us to a friend or trusted us with a special moment over the years: thank you, thank you, thank you! You've helped this little flower dream keep blooming. π
One of the sweetest parts of this next chapter is sharing it with my daughter, Madison. Working together as a mother-daughter team has brought fresh ideas, new energy and so many moments that make me smile. We may not agree on every single little detail (we are both creative people, after all!), but we share the same love for beautiful flowers and the people we create them for.

For me, this isn't just about looking back on 25 years. It's about everything that's still ahead, and how special it is to build that future together.
This celebratory season brought me an honour I will always treasure: receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at Manitoba's Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (WEYA). I felt incredibly grateful, humbled and, honestly, a little emotional.
To be recognized after years of building a business, taking chances, learning from mistakes and doing something I love so much meant the world to me. It also reminded me how important it is to cheer other women on.
As a new group of WEYA nominees steps into the spotlight, I'm sending the biggest congratulations their way. Being an entrepreneur takes courage, persistence and a whole lot of heart. I'll be cheering them on! π

A little extra sweetness deserves its own moment! A huge, heartfelt thank-you to the lovely woman behind Sugar & Salt Bake Shop, who generously gifted me our beautiful anniversary cake. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made our celebration even more special. I mean, flowers and cake? That's my kind of party! ππ
After all these years, one of the things that excites me most is being able to share the knowledge, creativity and lessons this business has given me. Not just how to make a gorgeous arrangement, but how to find your confidence, build good habits and turn a love of flowers into something meaningful.
I'm excited to be a breakout speaker at the Winnipeg Women's Conference in March 2027, sharing part of my business journey and what I've learned along the way. It feels so special to move from celebrating this milestone to helping inspire someone else's next chapter.

That's also why Madison and I are so happy to have launched Floral Fixx Design School. We get to welcome new flower lovers, share real hands-on techniques and cheer our students on as they find their creative spark. Watching someone discover what they can do with flowers? It's magic.
Our upcoming hands-on floral design courses in Winnipeg are:
Whether you've dreamed of a career in flowers or simply want to learn something beautiful, we'd love to meet you!

Twenty-five years of memories, the most incredible people, flowers in every colour imaginable and still so much to look forward to. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who has been part of this story.
Here's to celebrating the past, loving the present and making a little more floral magic in the future. And if there happens to be more cake along the way, I won't complain. π
With so much love and gratitude,
