My own arrangements !!

One more post for today.

It had been a long time since I blog about flowers!! Oh I'm so excited and proud to blog about it right now.

Every year, its quite a headache buying gifts for different ladies in my department. Everyone's different; some are practical, some are "expensive".

This year, I came up with this "bright" idea, which is to buy flowers from Far East, and make 7 floral arrangements myself. I was way too confident. If not for a last minute twist, I would have failed badly.

I blog about Carol just not too long ago. She's the one who helped to put up a very beautiful wishing tree deco. I discovered later that she's very very good at gift wrapping too.

She SMS me over the weekend to ask if I have bought the laptop bag I've wanted. I told her no, and I knew she wanted to buy it as a Christmas gift for me. So I also told her about my plan, and ask her preferance for flowers.

On Thurs (23th) morning, I went Far East and bought flowers worth $156! I took them back home before heading for office. At about 5pm, Carol asked if she can come home with me to try her hands on arranging flowers too. I was overjoyed.

Like I said, I under estimated the difficulty. We stared at 7pm, and only finish at 1030! It was extremely tiring. But the results are fantastic! Some of them were delighted at receving this special gift. See pics:

There were 2 more; a messy sunflower arrangement by me, for Carol, and another red roses arrangement by Carol, for me.

It was very satisfying. I will definately do it again!
