I've been working on some new floral arrangements and other crafts. One item still in progress is a tropical wreath with orchids included with other flowers. Somehow I have gotten onto a tropical wave! Having a lot of fun with it too. Pictures to follow soon. If you have any requests, I take custom orders!
