Here are some pretty flowers I've made.  You probably dont see the difference from my others can you??  Heehee.  Its very different.  Its not made from paper OR fabric....but I have used..........fake flower petals! Here they are my friends.  If you want a tutorial....hmmmmm?  Am I willing to give away my secret????  Oh go on.....if you want a tutorial I will do one for you.  Just say in the comment section and if I get enough requests, I will do a tutorial.  I would prefer not to take up a blog post doing a tutorial if only one person wants it as I don't want to bore everyone if they don't want to see how they are made.  If only one person wants a tutorial, I will do them one personally.  Not face to face like!  Oh you know what Im on about!!  if onl
