I've never made a centerpiece. I don't even think I've ever bought one. Truthfully, centerpieces all sort of look the same to me. In my mind, centerpieces come together in a mysterious way known only to floral designers and creative homemakers. My most creative attempt at centerpieces has been to arrange some candles on pillars in the middle of the table and call it good. Unfortunately, whenever I'm using the dining room table (daily) the pillars are shoved to the side or moved to the kitchen counter because I've usually got at least one laptop setup, a stack of homework papers, the mail, an empty glass or two, and possibly some clean, folded laundry (please tell me I'm normal).
When the Women's Ministry at Fellowship North Church announced a Christmas floral arranging event, I mentally dismissed even the possibility of attending. Too busy. Not my thing. Who really needs a centerpiece. Etc....However, Alyssa was excited about the event and I ended up buying tickets for her and I to attend together. I should have known that I would absolutely LOVE being able to CREATE something from a pile of what I earlier would have labeled as junky, tacky, cluttery STUFF.

THE BEST CENTERPIECE - EVER!
