Hello C-Mac!....and Thank You so much! It was the first time for me and it was a challenge, for sure! , but I grit my teeth and told myself to go for it, obviously being careful not to break any of the flowers! Today I place the arrangement on the cake and it gets delivered!

The grandson who ordered the cake from me saw the flowers and he was blown away! Initially (and before he opened his e-mail) he wanted fresh cut flowers, and since I wasn't able to provide him with pesticide-free flowers in time, I made this arrangement!

Thank You so much, again, it means so much to me that you think they are beautiful! I was a single mom and Marketing Rep for a diagnostic facility for so many years, and I got back into this only two years ago! I love it!
