Happy Mother's Day!

This bouquet of origami flowers was handcrafted with a special lady in mind.  I found some paper that had some beautiful blues, greens and purples, and created a vibrant bouquet using some coordinating blue and purple paper.  Love this color combination!

Remember to give your mom a big hug today!

Mother's Day Flowers

I absolutely love this combination of purples, creams, and tan.  The dark purple flowers are created from paper that have the words "love" and "happiness" printed on them.  The light purple flowers have beautiful quotes celebrating Mom.  I just happened to have a coordinating scarf and a vase in a pretty shade of green, and voila!  A gorgeous gift for Mother's Day!

Chinese New Year Red Envelope and Money Origami Flowers

Chinese New Year Red Envelope and Money Origami Flowers

Chinese New Year falls on January 23 this year, and 2012 is the Year of the DRAGON!  Festivities will continue for weeks, and a bouquet of origami flowers made from Lucky Red Envelopes and play money is a perfect addition to any Chinese New Year celebration.

Red is the color of joy and celebration.  The Lucky Red Envelopes are traditionally stuffed with money and given to friends and family at times of celebration. 

If you count carefully, you'll also see eight red envelope flowers and eight money flowers.  This is because the number eight conveys wealth and fortune.  Its pronunciation in Chinese is a homophone for the word "wealth."
