Because I refuse to drop over $100 for an arrangement of flowers, I decided I’d take matters into my own hands to get my mother a great gift without spending my month’s allowance. I went to the Los Angeles flower mart and spent about $35 dollars for these 2 orchids, the vase was given to me by a friend, and the moss was only a couple of dollars. As much as I love my mom, I could not justify $6 for a card, as cute as they were, so I took a few minutes to make a handmade card.
