So proud of myself!


For those of you who don't know, I dried my wedding bouquet and made it into a shadowbox.  I love it...and I always promised Rochelle I'd dry hers and create one for her too.  Well, I read up on how to dry orchids, and the process is NOT the same as roses.  Thank God I checked!  Anyways, you dry them with layers of silica gel in the microwave!  Who would have thought?  

I also dried some of my bouquet (hydrangeas and a few other blue flowers) as accents if she wants them.  I'll have to post a picture of the finished product once it is assembled.  (And let's hope no one decides to come check out our house, as I have an entire counter filled with individual dried flowers).
