Flashback Friday 4.30 'just because'

The challenge this week was about flowers, gardens, anything you got that was special to you. This one was actually ready made. Literally. I blogged about this a couple of years ago and MADE it into a lo for this challenge. Had the picture, journaling all set. (Can't beat that!-Love the easy ones lol) Just needed a great vehicle which Pink Paislee provided, along with prima pp & flowers, QK emily & katie and hambly and toille. Most of this was from one of my Bad Girl Kits. Love the girly look.

journaling: You may think this is just a bowl of dead roses. Well in a way you may be right. But wait, these aren't just your average ordinary dead bunch of roses. This is a special potpourri that my sweet DH made out of the roses we have in our front yard that had lost their bloom. He deftly plucked off the mostly dead blooms and hunted up a really pretty dish to put them in. Isn't that thoughtful and sweet??? I thought so. Gotta just love a thoughtful guy! I'm glad he's mine. (Shades of mush *insert eyeroll*. Ack. Shhh...don't tell anyone. bwahahaha!)
