Poinsettia

Yesterday I picked up my new dishes that are a Christmas present from my mother. I know it isn't Christmas yet but I unpacked them and put them away so I didn't have a huge box on my kitchen counter. In between each of the bowls were these wonderful cardboard pieces...they were practically screaming at me to make something out of them. I thought they would make perfect flowers...perfect poinsettias to be exact. I painted the cardboard red and then the girls helped me put glitter on the middle pieces which we cut from red construction paper. I love them! So if you are spoiled and are getting new dishes this Christmas keep your eyes open for the cool cardboard pieces that make awesome flowers.

I love it! Those turned out great... maybe Veronica will get dishes for her wedding and give me the cardboard : ).

They are from your dad, too.
I like the flowers -- good job.
