JoAnne Skelly: Create Holiday Floral Arrangements
Submitted by editor on Sat, 12/24/2016 - 3:41pmLet your inner floral designer out and do some holiday bouquets. First, choose a container. Then decide what will hold the flowers in place. When I use a vase, I just put the flowers and greens in loosely. You can place clear marbles or pebbles in the bottom to hold the flowers.
Sometimes florists use a crisscross pattern of floral tape over the mouth of the vase to give stability to the arrangement. However, to make a French bouquet, a centerpiece or a one-sided arrangement, use floral foam in a low container.

Know Your Enemy/Understand Your Enemy Part 3: Conclusion (sponsored)
Submitted by admin on Thu, 05/26/2016 - 12:05pmNo one should have to fight blindly against the enemy — knowledge IS power, and the truth of any situation even more powerful.
