A work in progress

I posted a picture of these flowers before. These were some of the flowers Jake gave me. I dipped them in that stuff that made them look like glass, but I still didn't want them exposed to all the dust that could find a home on their petals, nor did I want them to get broken. I found this frame and I cut off all the heads of my flowers and arranged them. i am happy with the way it turned out. I am also going to add some vinyl lettering to it and when I do I will post the finished product. Thanks Jake for all my beautiful flowers. Unfortunately I will have to throw some of the others away due to the dust collection--Blah!
Some fun memories in my flowers:

Center rose--Jake knew I always dried my flowers and he decided to freeze dry it by putting it in the freezer. Somehow the rose survived, but it dried in such a unique shape.

Two big yellow ones in bottom right corner--Jake called me up one day and said, "Hey guess what!" I responded, "OMG you are pregnant and it is a girl!!" Well after a long day at work I found these roses in my truck with the note attached "IT'S A GIRL!"

Dark spray roses--heading to Holter I was getting pretty crabby. Jake told me we needed to stop at this store on the way. I did and waited in the car. He came back out with a big bouquet of spray roses.

Light spray roses--our two year anniversary bouquet

Big dark one in top left corner--That was my surprise rose listed below. Unfortunately I squished it.

Pink carnations--birthday
All the others are just because flowers. I am glad they are now protected from dust and damage.
