    About this ebook

    PLEASE NOTE: This book contains over 80 pages. Some of the text is written within the images and will not be included in the word count.

    There are so many beautiful ways to decorate your home with flowers. All it takes is imagination, focus and the understanding of color, along with step-by-step instructions. Through visual photos, common sense information and tips, you too can become a wonderful decorator of flowers.

    Wow your family, friends and yourself with flower arrangement accomplishments that beautify your home everyday. Not only that, holiday arrangements and centerpieces will be easier to design than you ever thought. Why? Because you will understand how colors work together. After designing a few the process will become easier.

    Years of decorating retail stores and their window fronts allowed me to learn how to design, especially with color. I enjoy being creative and enjoy sharing. Whether I am producing artwork for my children' books, writing my newest gardening or flower arrangement books, my compassion for all of these remains strong.
