The One-Bouquet-a-Week Challenge





Inspired by the lovely flowers from stylist Leslie Shewring over at A Creative Mint, I've decided to issue a challenge to myself: learn how to create better arrangements by whipping up a new bouquet for myself each week.

Above is my first attempt (P.S. The hyacinth smell AMAZING amazing). I'm especially interested in learning to place flowers in unique containers...but after plowing through my cabinets, I am realizing that I have only one kind around here: old mason jars I probably got from a relative or two over the past few years.

It's a good start, but I am now going to be on the hunt for some fun vase-like supplies. But that's fine with me, because not only do I like to shop for home stuff, I also like to win a challenge. Even if it's only against myself.

(Bring it, self!)
