It'...Thanks for the release day wishes, Tammy! <br /><br />It's funny how something that looks simple can be hard to pull off, isn't it? I've had to start all over again a few times when arranging flowers, but I love playing with them so it's not really a problem. :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-35994344684441114742015-09-01T11:40:37.778+10:002015-09-01T11:40:37.778+10:00Bronwyn, I did!

No wonder you're a plonker. Though, you know, my mother is a plonker, so perhaps that's why I want to be an arranger.

My mum, on the other hand, is a chronic over-arranger who has all these "rules" about height of flowers in relation to the vase, and what should go at the back and the sides, and which greenery goes with each style of flowers. Needless to say she despairs at my plonking and starts rearranging. <br /><br />Happy Release Day!Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-24794043791016423552015-08-31T20:42:12.395+10:002015-08-31T20:42:12.395+10:00I'd love to be talented and artful but I seem ...I'd love to be talented and artful but I seem to do more damage by trying to be artful so I'm a put them in the water and be done with it.<br />So jealous of Faith's talent in this story.Lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-47847306641759655032015-08-31T19:14:51.961+10:002015-08-31T19:14:51.961+10:00Loved the first Hawke brother story so am really l...Loved the first Hawke brother story so am really looking forward to this one.
