“Hi, my name is Christine and I am a flower-a-holic”. Its true. I love them! I never grow tired of giving them, receiving them, picking a bouquet, watching them grow or trying my hand at floral arranging. I have had this addiction since I was a little girl and have no plans of ever attending a FAA (Flower Addiction Anonymous) meeting any time soon!

In 2005, I had the opportunity of creating and organizing a fundraising gala for the Stollery Children’s Hospital called The Masterpiece Gala. Through this amazing event I had the privilege of meeting and working with one of Edmonton’s finest floral artists, Kristi Kingdon of Off Whyte Floral Studio.

With my love for flowers, creativity and people that are passionate about what they do - Kristi quickly became a friend. She played an intricate role in making The Masterpiece Galasimply stunning and I have since witnessed arrangement after bouquet after arrangement of her talent at work that simply is stunning, uncontained and where each piece that she does truly is a work of art.

I had the honor of photographing her store a while ago for a magazine feature that she was chosen for and also got to sneak in a few shots of this beautiful woman while I was there!

Kristi, you never cease to amaze me with your talent and abilities!

One of your many fans!
Christine
