Dances

So a week and a half ago, the daughter of a friend of mine called and asked if I would be interested in making her a boutaneer for the Sweethearts dance this last weekend. Well I love flowers and of course I said sure. She then asked if she could give my number to a few of her friends, and of course I said sure. Man, I could not believe how much my phone rang this past week. Yeah they all waited till Wednesday or later to call, but that is to be expected. Then came the calls from the friends of a friend! So this past Saturday I spent the whole morning and part of the afternoon playing with flowers. I think I made 8 coursages and like 12 boutaneers. I hope everyone was happy with them, they were sure alot of fun to make. Aren't the little danglies cute? Curt said I should open up a flower shop, and I said when? Yup, dream big. Who knows, someday maybe. Just think fresh flowers everyday. What could be better.
