ALL OCCASIONS CENTERPIECE

This is a very classic looking centerpiece with a candle in the middle. I like the peach color and the artificial peaches are fun, little surprises in this design.

GIFT MUG

Here is a gift mug you can make yourself easily with just a few ingredients. You need:
A favorite mug
3 tea bags
1 honey teaspoon
2 biscotties
Packaging paper or even old newspaper
Paper Shred in coordinating color
Cellophane roll or small size cellophane bag
Ribbon in coordinating color
Tape
First fill the bottom of the mug with some packaging paper or newspaper. Then cover it with a little bit of colorful paper shred. Secure the two biscotties in the back. Use tape to secure them if needed. Glue dots work perfectly for this job but tape is just fine if you don't have glue dots. Tape the three tea bags together creating a fan. Secure the tea bags to biscotties with another piece of tape. Secure the honey teaspoon to the side inserting it deep into the shred and paper. Then wrap the mug with cellophane and tie it with a nice bow. Cut the top of the cellophane to shorten it or to make it look nicer and give it a fan shape. Your cute little gift is ready for its recipient. Have fun!

MUG DESIGN

Carnations are beautiful but they are not appreciated as well as other flowers by people. Because people are not buying them, the growers are not producing them as much anymore. In a few years carnations are going to be more expensive than roses because there will be limited number of growers that supply carnations. Maybe then people will give them the value they deserve and they will be popular again.

9 ROSES IN A CUBE VASE

Not a very good picture but I am including it just to give an idea what could be done with a cube glass vase and 9 red roses:)

MORE RED ROSES

These are the most recent arrangements I made with red roses. Only red roses themselves are enough to make beautiful arrangements. I have not used much of the fillers or greens.

Again my red heart shaped container filled with dozen roses and caged with bear grasses. I love using these pearl pins. It enhances the design so much.

Second picture is the cute mug filled with 7 red roses and wax flowers.

Last pictures are bud vases with one and two red roses. I love the heart shape I had with the bear grasses for the two-rose bud vase.And again I used pearl pins. The single rose in the last picture is sitting on a piled up salal leaves. They actually don't have their stems on. I just piled up the salal leaves and put atop the vase and made a little hole in the middle and then inserted the rose and the bear grasses from the hole. Beautiful charm is accessorizing the simple bud vase.
