June is Busting Out With Flowers Blog Hop

Flowers are in bloom as the warm summer air dances lightly across the yards and fields and this blog hop is all about the flowers. Please join this creative bunch as they show off their creations with flowers. Jearise, from Lorby's World, is our hostess.  Please, make sure you begin at her site and read carefully because she will have a give-away going on with this hop and all the details are on her blog. Now flower power away . . .

WHAT????? Has someone lost their mind??? Lynne is in a flower blog hop????? You have to be kidding!!!! Lynne who one year planted silk flowers in her window boxes and only watered to keep them clean!!!! Lynne who is Dr. Keforkian when it comes to growing flowers!!!!! Alright, now that I have that out of my system . . . .

I actually have not one but two projects for you!!! Yes, I did say two!!!

My first project is something that can be made in a total of 15 minutes and makes a great little something to take to a friend in the hospital as a cheer-me-up bouquet or a thinking of you!!!
