Yesterday my intern, Lauren, came over and we made hand-tied bouquets with cute little water packs. If you'd like to make some for Mother's Day, here are my instructions. With a little practice, it's super easy. I love making bouquets for gifts any time of the year and the recipients like them too!

Shannon: I'll let Lauren answer that. I am not sure where her top is from.
Michele: The French i invented this bouquet. If you read on the how to, I explain. They were the ones that came up with the tight, round bouquet with spiral stems.

Shannon: It's an oldie from Gap Body. I think I got it 3 or 4 years ago! :)
