Valentine’s Topiary

Valentines is one of my favorite holidays for flora! Red roses abound, and the tradition of flower giving prevails.  One of the joys of paper flower making is the ability to create flowers in unusual, rare and wonderful colors. Fantastic creations like red lotus, red asters,  and others are possible. There’s no end to what…

The Business of a Business

Today was a number crunching day.  It’s rainy outside, kinda cold, and not really inspiring me to do more than eat sugar-free chocolate bars and flavored decaf Krups coffee.  (Although I did clean up my fish tank and now have soggy sleeves, still, two hours later!)
