or I'll never give my heart

Nat King Cole put this perfectly.  This is how I'll fall in love.  When that gallant man proves that he is perfectly and incandescently happy and feels the exact same way for me as I do for him.  That's when I'll give my heart completely.  That's when I'll fall in love.  (yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic... songs like this make me melt!)
 
When I fall in love

It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

5 easy steps to making a bridal bouquet from WalMart flowers

tools used: scissors, clippers, floral wire and tape, corsage pins and ribbon. All found at Robert's Craft

WalMart flowers. Purple Stock, Pink Mini Carnations and White Mums

1. Clean flowers (take off excess leaves/blooms to make flowers all the same height)

2. Start with main flowers adding accent flowers and filler as you go, paying attention to color distribution

3. keep them all relatively the same height making rounded shape **note**for a real bouquet you would need at least twice the flowers we used.

almost finished!

4. Trim stems to desired length.  Wrap with floral wire to secure in place

5. Wrap with floral wire, then ribbon for embellishment, using corsage pins to hold ribbon in place!


Yay. There you have it.
