I did these 5 ornaments for a woman here in town that lost her daughter back in the winter to cancer. The mother is 92 and is one of the sweetest ladies I know. Known her my whole life. I also made one for the husband, their daughter and her 2 kids. Normally I get a picture of them and shrink it down to thumbnail size and put a few inside and then also one on the ribbon but didn't have one. Thought of asking the family but hated to do that. I went to the cemetery after work the day of the funeral and picked the flowers out to dry. Hoping to take them by later tonight.

What a nice idea. I'm sure the family appreciated it so much.

What a sweet gift that will be so special to the recipient knowing they were made from the dried flowers of their loved one.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your comment. Glad the star tutorial was helpful!
