I live in the Pacific NW with my husband,our 85 pound black lab and the newest member of our family our adorable little boy! I love to cook, stick my hands in the dirt and grow veggies and flowers, etc., craft for gift giving, repurpose things from my grandmother, find a cozy corner and curl up with a good book, and most of all hang out with my boys and our furry one.

Flowers

So last week I got the a HUGE bouquet of flowers from my bosses.
I kept it on my desk all week and then took it home on Friday.   Needless to say I needed to revamp it to fit into our house better.  

Here is the process - didn't have a chance to post this weekend as I was painting.

The beginning - see I said it was huge


Here are the pieces....


From one HUGE arrangement to 5!


I did cut a lot off the bottom.....




Love this one - had to show it to you from two angles.  Took a lot of these flowers out and and they are at my desk for my fresh flowers this week but was still able to leave some of them home to enjoy.   The lilies haven't even bloomed yet.



Of course I love this one.  It's purple and in my favorite purple vase.  It is on the mantel.


I had the tulips but added the leafs to them.  They are on the coffee table in the family room.   Can you see my helper? 

Anyway I am so grateful to work with people who appreciate me.  I've had the flowers since last Wednesday and they are still as fresh as if I got them today.
Even though WPC had peonies (my favorite) I didn't need to get any as I still had these flowers for the week!
