That sounds rather prophetic, however it's mostly true. I began my love affair with all things plants and flowers at an early age. My mother had over 60 plants thriving in our little apartment while I was growing up (we must have had the cleanest air in any apartment!).
My mother’s love of all things plants would ensure that when I moved out on my own I would also have a house full of plants. But alas, her green thumb must have skipped a generation and I was doomed to carry on my Grandmother's Black Thumb Legacy.
After many failed attempts to keep anything green alive in my house I gave up.
Enter stage left, my hero.
My husband, before he was my husband, suggested one day that he would like to make Flower Pens. Now, I can't recall exactly what led to this magical comment, but as a woman with a crafty heart I was thrilled! Off to the craft store we went. He made sure that we also included a funky vase and some filler rocks for our soon to be beautiful Flower Pens to live in. A few short hours later - we had our very own beautiful Flower Pen Bouquet to brighten up our little apartment.
Like I said, I was destined to be an Ink Gardener...and marry the man that led me to my destiny.
