Blogger day & Holiday Magic project peek

Just a couple weeks ago, 

I traveled to North Carolina to meet the Lowe’s Creative Ideas family.

 We toured the main offices, dined in a greenhouse, met Eddie Ross

and we even got a look at a top secret warehouse

 that we were not even allowed to bring our cell phones into.

Fun fact:
Did you know that I have been a proud part of the Lowe’s Creative Ideas Network
since it first started?
I have and I absolutely love working with them.
This event was the first ever Lowe’s Blogger Event- and it pretty.much.rocked.

I gave you a couple of sneak peeks of some of the event in my Random Saturday post

 but thought I would share a quick  round up 

and also give a little bit of a peek at  something else that I worked on
last month with Lowe’s. 

The first night in North Carolina-

 we went over to a beautiful (and enormous) greenhouse.
When I say enormous and beautiful- that is exactly what I mean.
Just driving up to the greenhouse was inspiring and

once inside, the inspiration didn’t stop.

We traveled through greenhouse after greenhouse filled with poinsettias
on a little train draped in garlands

until we reached a greenhouse that was set up for dinner.

It was an amazing setting 

with tables surrounded by a sea of red poinsettias.
Music playing and lots of mingling and meeting familiar faces in person for the first time.

I enjoyed the ambiance and having some time to chat with my fellow 

Lowe’s Creative Ideas Creators and the Lowe’s team and was constantly inspired by the surroundings.

That tree on the table? Sandpaper. All sandpaper. 

The next day- it was on to the headquarters which is HUGE.

The Lowe’s HQ is beautiful and it is filled with people who are passionate about 

the company they are working for- which I love.

This gathering was for a photo the day we were there

when everyone was wearing red vests to show appreciation for those who work in their stores.

We proudly wore red t-shirts that day to show our support as well.

While there, we learned more about the company,
met a ton of new people and we got a sneak peek preview of some of what’s
coming to the stores this Spring

Just a couple weeks later-I was off to Los Angeles for a Lowe’s charity event that involved

a local boys & girls club

a group of children and their Christmas visions

and a whole lot of decorating.

I can hardly wait to share the top secret mission we were on

and what we were doing. And you will get to see it all on video. 

Lowe’s is such a great company to work with and I absolutely

love being a part of the Creative Ideas blogger network with such a great group of amazing bloggers

You might find a couple familiar faces included in this months magazine as well.

My trip was provided to the Lowe’s HQ Event
but I was not compensated for this post and all the love for Lowe’s is my own.
