We took Sara to the airport last night…she’s headed back to Boston.  I know she’s ready and I know she’ll be happy but it was still a sad good-bye.  Even though we’ll see her in October.  Even though she’s been home all summer.  Especially because she’s been home all summer!  I’m gonna miss that girl…

To cheer myself up, I went looking for flowers – and not just any flowers – I needed Daffodils.  So what if they’re out of season!  Daffodils are the cheeriest flowers I could think of and that’s what the doctor ordered.  I borrowed a concept from InkingAddict and used the ornament from Delightful Decorations to make a vase.  My stems didn’t line up so instead of a nice narrow necked vase I used the small oval punch to make mine more of a bowl.  Think Ikebana.  OK, Ikebana without the style.  I call it creative license.
