I can still remember when I was about four, I went to Valley Forge Park and filled a paper cup with dandelions and then walked around the park and sold them to picnickers for .25 cents each. I sold the whole cup's worth ;) Amy,

How do they do they both preserve flowers? Hmm.... I want you to start writing a blog about flowers -- arranging them, tips, and crazy stories about the people and circumstances surrounding your memorable bouquets. "Arranged: A Blog on Flowers and Life" ...because I know you have a story to tell! Miss you!! Brandy,
