Little Boy Bouquet

Occasionally I have the privilege of decorating tables for family dinners that follow a loved ones funeral. I volunteer to do this so it requires getting creative on a tight budget; making several centerpieces for under $20.These centerpieces were made to honor the life of a sweet little preemie boy whose earth life was too short.I wanted the bouquets to reflect the life of a little boy and what says "boy" more than sticks and stones, bear grass, snap dragons and baby blue birds.

    I'm sure the family loved it. And the parents were blessed by you. How thoughtful.

    What a neat idea. To have someone take care of things when one is not thinking of decoration but are thinking of their loved one. You will be blessed as well.

    Not everyone thinks of the little details that put so much meaning into the whole picture. My favorite job (besides junkin') was working at our local funeral home. Our director is a top notch lady and no detail is left out. Wonderful to share your talents with people that need your touch. Bless you!
