Primas

You wanna hear something scary? I'm totally getting into those stupid Prima flowers. UGH!!! I told myself that I wouldn't buy into the hype. I said, Self, you don't NEEED those cute little overpriced glass bottles of flowers. So what if they look so pretty all lined up on a shelf? So what if those little paper flowers go on EVERYTHING? So what if I really like that simple blossom motif? Nope, Self, you don't need them.

Well, then I bought one jar for ONE specific project (which I haven't completed yet, btw). Then I made a card, and used a few. Then I wanted this other color scheme, so I got those. I lied to myself and said that between those two mixed bottles, one muted and one bright, I would have everything covered.

Well, then I did that last layout, and I needed some light blue, but I only had bright blue. So I got just one more bottle. Hey, it had pale yellow and white, bonus! NOW I was set, right?

Wrong. As I was working on my layout, I realized that I needed and absolutely had to have a few brown flowers. Well, brown is a neutral, I can use them on everything..... Oh, and I didn't even use my bottle of light blue blossoms! I borrowed a few from my friend because I had left mine at home!

So anyway, I am doing a layout for the store, and I am thinking, I need just one little thing here to finish it off... you know what I mean. That final detail that takes it from "okay" to "done", but right before you hit the "now there's too much crap on the page" stage. So I'm wandering around the store... wandering... wandering...

You know, I have this weakness for all things pink. I love pink. It's my signature color. So what do I wander by? You guessed it - a bottle of pink Prima flowers in various shades of pink. Absolutely perfect. Absolutely MINE!

I'm so weak.
