Where it all began

I said a week or so ago that I would post some photos of things I've done in the past.  When I was living in Kalamazoo, I found as many ways to practice floral design as possible.  I drove to Grand Rapids to take classes and hi-jacked my boss's holiday party to test my skills.  Here are a few pictures.
I love working with greenery - it smells so amazing.
I love the little present box!  It was easy and yet so cute!
I also took poinsettia roses (Euphorbia pulcherrima) and wrapped them to create a menu accessory.  They could have also been a napkin ring which would have been cool.  On another note, Poinsettias are pretty interesting plants and I would be happy to go on at length if anyone is interested.  :)
It's not a lot, but it was a chance for me to try out a few things while not spending too much of someone else's money that they thought should have been spent on booze.  I think my tastes have matured past this point, but this was also 5 years ago.
