a new venture (just in the nick of time)


i see i haven't done any blah-ging in a couple weeks. and that's exactly why--the january blahs are here with a vengeance! there's only enough time in the day to sleep, work, read, and sleep, sleep, sleep. oh--and eat. too much.

but--this past week i volunteered to do a flower arrangement for a friend for sunday services at church. (every week someone provides the flowers, usually ordered from a florist.) she gave me the $$ that would have gone to a florist to do an arrangement and also gave me carte blanche to do whatever i wanted. what fun! especially since it was someone else's money!

i tell ya, this might be my ticket out of my annual hibernation fest!

this is what i came up with. what do you think? i was a bit miffed at how shy the white lilies were at opening, but that's ok.

anyway, i see this turning into another volunteering opportunity. not everyone at church can afford a florist's prices, but i am free! at least my talents are. they can provide the $$, and even a modest amount can be turned into a nice bouquet. and i get to play with and shop for flowers in the dead of winter. what a win-win deal for all.
