Hello blog! Today I had a really long day because I started making the centerpieces, and that took me half a day. Since the flowers have long stems, I had to cut them, but because the stem has a really hard metal rod inside, I couldn't cut it with scissors. I had to find pliers to cut it. I did that with all 55 flowers. Then I arranged them on the foam I bought, but I didn't like how it looked, so I did it again. Once I liked it, I felt like it was missing something; I wanted to add a ribbon. So this time I went to a store near Cang's that sold more stationery items, and I got some white ribbon and also saw some lights that I liked for decorating.

I also went to Sawgrass Mills to see if I could find any nice decorations for Chiara's room. Something like candles or books, I don't know, that kind of thing. I checked HomeSense, Target, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls to see if I could find anything. And I did find some really nice things. I bought four candles and two air fresheners.
