ON A PERSONAL NOTE
THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER AND HER FLOWERS!
A few years ago I bought THUSS & FARREL’S Paper to Petal . From these authors, I learned about paper crafts and making paper flowers. One year, I made LOTS of paper products and flowers for friends and as a way to relax and work with my hands. I spent hours crafting with paper and have been anxious to resume this hobby. So, during this time, If you want me to make you a paper flower, I will. Then, I’ll mail it to you. A way to serve and add beauty to one’s home / life. This will be called CORONAVIRUS PROJECT #4.
