Welcome to my shop. my Name is Syeda Leeah Mitchell, shop owner of foreverflowers4you. I am ecstatic to open my shop on Etsy. I have long been an avid crafter, appreciating the beauty of creating handmade items which allow me the opportunity to utilize my creative skills. I was the girl asked to decorate the party, crochet a blanket, choose a color palette for and decorate a room or pick flowers for the occasion etc. While others were quick to suggest purchasing ready made, I was the one desiring to hand make whenever possible as I never tired having the chance to create something unique and beautiful. While my daughter was attending High School, I became involved with various fundraising initiatives as a parent. Having a love for crating, I volunteered to chair the decorating committee for the Annual Trick Tray event, the largest yearly fundraiser seating over 500. Working this committee was exciting as It allowed me to nourish my creative spirit and develop themed centerpieces for the event. I thoroughly enjoyed four yrs. of chairing this event. Months of planning, meeting with parents and staff, teaching them how to duplicate my prototype, packaging the items and transporting to the event, I found so rewarding! Each successive year became more exciting than the last as I was approached by many who assumed I was in business, and requested my services for a wedding, a party or event. It was at that point, I realized that I had something to share that excited people. I began filling orders for parties and events on a part time basis, while employed full time at my desk job. I was having so much fun creating flower arrangements, networking and building positive relationships wth others in my craft. I am happy to now have the opportunity to focus on perfecting my craft and devoting my energies to promoting my shop on a full time basis. Our goal here at foreverflowers4you is to create unique, personalized paper flowers. it is my hope that upon visiting my shop that you will find a piece that speaks to your unique inner sense of beauty!!!
