Paper Flowers

[SportyGirly125]

I never imagined that I was going to get a huge response like I did as soon as @CC3616 unboxed her Galentine's gifts yesterday.  I thought okay they know I like crafting because I posted a pic from my son's first birthday party.  The amount of responses with nothing but kind and sweet words definitely brought tears to my eyes.  I was overwhelmed with the love and feedback I was getting on just doing something I truly loved.  Making gifts.  I never thought that someone besides a close family member and friends would have a bouquet now. 

As soon as @Mcakes posted about the Galentine gift exchange I was hesitant about signing up but in the end I am so glad I did.  I knew from the moment I decided to sign up that a paper bouquet is what I wanted my Galentine to have and that I would make it in her favorite colors.

Here are other bouquets I have made in the past:For my Mom for Mother's Day

Wow! They are absolutely gorgeous @SportyGirly125

@PrettyPaint Thank you!

[veronika23]

Amazing! You are so talented @SportyGirly125!!!! You should open your own Etsy shop!

[prettyinpa]

@veronika23-  Oh, yeah an Etsy shop would be great. She wouldn't have any competition like jewelry or pottery or something that everyone does. @SportyGirly125-  You'd make a mint!

@prettyinpa @veronika23 I wish I really could do it. The thing is I have a full time job and a toddler so even finding the time to do it as a side job would be exhausting. These flowers take hours to make.  The only time I can make them are after he goes to bed.  You guys are so encouraging though. I really wish I could do an Etsy shop but at the moment I don’t really have the time.

Oh yeah that is a full plate! Maybe one day when you have more time. Just know we all think you are super talented!!! 🙂  @SportyGirly125

[prettyinpa]

Yeah, a full time job and a toddler is a full plate, lol. But maybe when your little is off to school you'll have spare time. But in the meantime, we can admire your bouquets here, they're so pretty. @SportyGirly125

@prettyinpa Thank you. You guys are the best!!!

@veronika23 When I first started doing the bouquets years ago I remember my husband and Mom telling me I could sell them on Etsy.  I honestly never thought about charging for them. I just like giving them as gifts. 

[veronika23]

I totally understand that... but you could if you wanted to! 🙂 You are so crafty and talented that you could probably also make other things as well... like pop up cards or flowers in a shadow box. You know like a paper flower shop. 🙂  @SportyGirly125

@veronika23 You guys are just so sweet and encouraging. I love the support. 

[prettyinpa]

Yeah, @SportyGirly125  but they are so amazing that I'm sure people would be lined up to get them. You could have a home business and get to stay home in your comfies all day.

[SportyGirly125]

@prettyinpa That does sound amazing. 

[faeriegirl]

WOW! @SportyGirly125! Every one of those bouquets are absolutely stunning!❤️❤️❤️
