I think this is a lovely gift. Consensus seems to be three flowers but as for the rest I think it's up to you. You have a very good eye for colour and balance, so trust yourself! I don't know where the idea of giving a teacher a gift at the end of the year/Christmas came from - after all, you are paying us! You tend not to get pressies at high school but here in Scotland (my education authority at least) you have to let your school know if you receive anything and they in turn have to let the authority know so that you can get taxed on it! xxxTracey Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615167978883429427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010297157992810631.post-40523362349247989802012-07-08T08:43:03.946+01:002012-07-08T08:43:03.946+01:00Hi Sarah....

I think this is a lovely little unique gift for a teacher and one that will be appreciated!<br /><br />I think you're right about the ribbon though... and maybe it doesn't need to have the buttefly?

I think maybe the butterfly should be smaller? Florists ribbon sounds great. You could also if you wanted spray the blooms with some glimmer mist or something for a little shimmer?<br /><br />Don't stress too much! I don't think we ever gave teachers gifts when I was at school!<br /><br />Another idea I've seen around blogs is a chocolate bar in a handmade card type wrapper... that could go nicely with your blooms! Something like this... http://rinnesbliss.blogspot.gr/2011/10/more-chocolate-wrappers.html<br /><br />ArabellaArabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844407118027397532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010297157992810631.post-4682912829854988092012-07-08T07:21:40.402+01:002012-07-08T07:21:40.402+01:00Hi Sarah.

It is lovely that Emily wants to give her teacher handmade flowers though and if she knows what her favourite colours are then that would make them extra special.<br />Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend<br /><br />Hugs SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040865632140025960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010297157992810631.post-32237591434703256592012-07-07T22:19:47.959+01:002012-07-07T22:19:47.959+01:00I'm a 3 bloom girl...looks more balanced.

I would say go with the rule of three....three smaller blooms would look better than two larger ones.....butterfly is actually quite pretty but I'd go with another colour and make it smaller.....florist ribbon would look better 'cos you could do that twirly thing with it, and use lots.....tissue paper needs a little work....otherwise, this is such a pretty gift for a teacher!<br />Lookin' forward to the end result, whatever you decide....good luck!Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619530462790786364noreply@blogger.com
