Barefoot in the Grass

So I just read this article , and it stirred some strong emotions in me. I am super not a fan of this Abercrombie & Fitch quote, I mean, how shallow can you get? I was also an unattractive, overweight kid in my earlier years, and I'm beginning to be grateful for that. I feel that that time I spent knowing I wasn't supermodel material, or anything remotely close to it, helped me to develop a REAL personality. A song by Hot Chelle Rae that plays at my store says "She knows she's hot, but that's all she's got," and I think that hits the nail on the head.

So here are the promised pictures of my floral escapades! Hooray! First up is Krista, my high school buddy who's getting married this Friday! Woot woot!

The wires in the silk flowers were a super pain to cut through, except when I used my BFF's 'tin snips' as she called them. This was the first bridal bouquet I ever attempted, so go easy on me, eh? ;) The main body of the bouquet was pretty easy, it all just came together real nice, but adding the cascade to it was a MAJOR pain! >:( It just wouldn't cooperate!! I had to take the whole thing apart 2 or 3 times and start over, which was kinda frustrating. But it turned out lovely, and I am satisfied :) Top part - done in just over an hour. The rest took me a few days :P Photography by Jennilyn Proulx with www.dezemberphoto.com Photography by Jennilyn Proulx ...
