Designs in Floral

You know, I really enjoy crafts. I get a little giddy when I am collecting the raw materials of a project I am working on. I feel good when I complete a mini-master piece. I would go so far as to say that I have some creative abilities that make the process fun. I don't feel confident enough to say I have any actual TALENT. I'm a pretty good instructions follower and a great idea thief. This realization makes me more appreciate those who have REAL talent.

My girlfriend, Jen, is one of those people. She helped with Super Saturday this last weekend. She can create the cutest things from a simple inspiration like a cute ribbon or paper. She amazes me.

Another person I really admire is my sister-in-law. She has taken her hobby of collecting and drying flowers and made it into a real business. You have to see the temple pictures she's created OUT OF FLOWERS!!!


Incredible. How much patience is needed to do these things??? Check out her website! Seriously, if you're looking for a unique Christmas, wedding, or other gift, this is a great idea.

Oh, I must disagree with you. Part of being talented is being ABLE to be an idea thief and adapt it to your own home/situation. I think you're talented.

How much is Cheryl paying you to advertise? She is remarkable. I wish I lived closer so I can steal your stuff. I made these really cute candle holders (Martha's idea). Max loved them so much that he made me make another one for our dining room table.

Thanks for the "shout out" Kim. :) I'm constantly amazed by the talents of others. The key is just to find what you love and run with it. And don't worry about your non-talents. I am not a crocheter... I just don't love it the way others do, and I'm ok with that. I love flowers and love that I can do amazing things with them. So, to each his own... right?
