We had received a coupon for a free bouqet of flowers when we moved in. I was looking around while waiting for my 5 small carnations. I saw a centerpiece arrangement very similar to your 5 rose centerpiece. It was marked $47.99! You probably saved yourself $150 or so, by doing these yourself. Way to go!<br /><br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958981528207127681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-17526989739518708372006-12-20T10:41:00.000-06:002006-12-20T10:41:00.000-06:00well as said, great job...
