Anne — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:09:19 +0000

Valentine’s Day! A popular day for getting engaged. What will you do with your flowers after they have been presented to you along with a ring? Preservation is a great way to cherish that memory! Need I say more? Just look through the Gallery and see all the things that can be done with your flowers!

What’s in a Name?

Anne — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:39:02 +0000

This young man’s name was Michael R. Peace. Until flowers were brought to me this “name” meant nothing to me because I had never met him……never even knew he existed. He was only 21 when he was killed in a car accident this past November. Once the flowers arrived, however, I was introduced to a [...]

It’s time for Change

Anne — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:51:24 +0000

I have to say, as I have gone through life, that I have mostly hated change. We grow into our routines. They make us feel comfortable, safe……even if life is not that great we still hold on to the “comfort” that the “sameness” represents. At least that’s how I used to feel. Then one day, a [...]

ABO Open House – More than just Preservation

Anne — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:28:45 +0000

20 years ago began a love affair for “saving” the outdoors inside my home. While many would prefer silks for their always fresh look – I have to say I love the look and feel of the actual creation that God gave us to begin with as adornment to my home. It was this love [...]

“I HAVE TO, I MUST”

Anne — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:15:46 +0000

Before I finished the shadowbox above the words “I have to and I must” were constantly on my mind and lips. Did you know that those very words actually cause you to procrastinate on your projects or life to-do list even more? How many of you out there suffer with the procrastination bug as I [...]

Bridal Bouquet Reminder…

Anne — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:51:30 +0000

It is the wedding season! Consider having your flowers preserved to enjoy for years to come. You don’t have to spend all your money to do so. I have items that will fit all budgets……….even as low as $25.00. So think about having something preserved from your special day. You won’t regret it!

Have you remembered to say “thank you” today?

Anne — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:43:38 +0000

I admit it….I hate to write thank you notes. Don’t get me wrong now, I think thank yous are very important and I love to get them. My mom drove this into my head at a very young age. She was a navy wife. ” Protocal” was the word at our house. I always knew the [...]

Frustrated with my Gallery of Pictures

Just want to let you know that I really have been updating new pictures on a regular basis but the wordpress is not working correctly. It apparently has a few bugs and one of them is by not letting me “sort” my pictures in the order of my preference or write comments anymore. Since I [...]
