| One of our local garden clubs hosts an annual flower show with ten different categories; single flower, centerpiece, wildflower arrangement, miniature arrangement, large hall arrangement, mantel arrangement, arrangement of roses, large bouquet, small bouquet in a unique container and teapot. I have thought about entering for a while now and finally made up my mind that this the year.
The show is held on August 7. I am feeding everything now and hoping I will have lots of blooms when the time comes. I likely won't enter all ten categories and I don't expect to place this year, just to have fun and see what it's all about. I tried out a few bouquets this week to find out my likes and dislikes. Also to see how long I can expect different bloom to hold up. I thought I would share a few with all of you.
This is my miniature bouquet. It's just 6" high. I am wondering if that miniature enough.
Thank for looking.

| Oh, I really, really LOVE your bouquets, Carrie. You did a GREAT job with these. Most assuredly, you certainly did brighten my day. Mission accomplished!! :) And I sooo understand your frustration because without fail I miss something every time, too! Frustrating for someone who strives for perfection. Guess it just ain't happenin' with me. lol ;) Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful Saturday. Debbie P.S. I really do think I need to lighten up on stuff, as I recall my dad being frustrated with my tendency towards perfectionism. Finally in exasperation he said, "do something even if it is wrong." ;) |

| Wow!! I've been trying to see which ones are my favorites, and I think it's the first picture (the vase is so whimsical) and the dark and light lilies (striking). I would love, love to have that many roses that I could make bouquets. I haven't had too many in bloom so far this year. Gorgeous!!!!!! Carol |

| I'm amazed at how many creatively gifted people there are on this forum. Your arrangements are not only beautiful, but you seem to have a real knack for color. I only wish I could bury my nose in one of these! |
