Last Friday Mom, my older sister, Heather, and I were busy making bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages! Some very dear friends of ours were getting married on Saturday and Mom offered that we could do the flowers for the wedding.
Early Friday morning Mom and I went out to different stores to find the flowers for the wedding. It was pretty stressful trying to find all the flowers we needed but the Lord graciously answered our prayers and we brought home a 5 gallon bucket full of flowers plus a dozen roses that could not fit in it :-)
I thought we would have too many flowers, but at the end of the day we had just enough flowers to make a beautiful cake topper as well!
Mom arranged the bouquets and Heather and I taped the flowers. It was so much fun working together :-)
After we made the two bouquets we made five boutonnieres and five corsages. Unfortunately I did not get pictures of them but they turned out so pretty too!

Last week I worked on this cross stitch sampler as a gift for the new couple. I really like how simple yet pretty the design is. It was so quick to make and I was able to frame it very easily. Yeah!
