~~~The Making of an Arrangement~~~

Hi everyone. Today (Monday) is my birthday and I got some flowers! I bought the sunflowers and my girlfriend (who I share a birthday with) gave me the others. I also filled in with some flowers from my yard.  The first thing I did was chose my favorite cut glass vase. Then I make a grid on the top with florist tape to hold the flowers in place.

 Then I added the greens that came with the flowers for a base.

 Alstromeria

 sunflowers, gerber daisies

 ignore that packing tape in the background, Joe had it out and I didn't notice it til now:( Hydrangeas and zinnias from the yard

 I placed it on the breakfast room table to enjoy at mealtime. I can also see it every time I go into the kitchen.

 Ahhhh......

 I apologize for this one, there was a FINGER PRINT on the lense, who the heck did that?????

 Flowers make me happy. Hope you had a good day too. We are meeting our best friends tonight for dinner and we had a wonderful brunch yesterday with our daughter and SIL. Love to you all, Pinky
