Comedy Bouquet

This past weekend my god-sister, Micaela, performed at the Sacramento Comedy Spot.  I made her a little bouquet because, really, I think that women should be given bouquets more often in life outside of their weddings!  I'm getting a lot better at getting the classic "bouquet shape."  They are my favorite to practice!  I picked up the flowers at Trader Joe's and I was really happy with what I found: reddish-pink alstromeria, pink mums with green centers, pink spray roses, and GORGEOUS pink and green tulips.  Let me just say that my car smelled amazing on the way to Sacramento.

I also had fun with some green and pink-tinged ribbon that I found at Michael's.  I added a little star with beads for Micaela to remind her that she need not be nervous because she was gonna kick butt anyway!

Here is a front view.

And here for size comparion next to me in my loud red shirt.

I also got to visit my grandfather and his wife so I brought along a little arrangement to give them with what was left over after the bouquet.  I really liked the shape that I ended up with.

Again, I couldn't help but inhale deeply on the way to the show.
