Mexican Flowers


I volunteered to be in charge of decorations for our RS Birthday Celebration in March. We were going to have Mexican food served, so it was determined that we needed Mexican decorations. Thankfully, Mom and Dad were coming for Audrey's baby blessing and I was able to enlist Mom's help to make some of these flowers. It was fun layering the tissue paper and deciding what colors would look good together. Mom helped out by cutting most of the petal shapes. I made a little over 100 flowers.


The Jarritos's were purchased at the Mercado Latino in Provo. I took the bottle to work and had my co-workers drink up the sodas so that I could have the bottles. The flowers looked really cute in their bottles. The sisters at our activity last night really enjoyed the decorations and it made me happy that it was appreciated.

Now, I have tons of the flowers and I think that they would be great Cinco de Mayo decorations. So if anyone needs some decor, let me know.

I was able to put a few to good use today, though.

PAYBACK


It was a good day to get back at a co-worker for this joke.
