Where are the days when a fella "asked" a gal to be his date to the Prom? No more...now it is a "presentation" and the more different, the better! I spend most of my free time creating cards and suggested a very, unusual fun card for my son to make for the young lady to open, but Nooooo, my son wanted me to pull out my stained glass equipment and let him make something. I gave him about 6 creations to choose from since I was going to make "him" do it, but it also meant me staying with him every minute. Between pulling out glass to look at and getting cut, cutting the glass and getting cut, sanding the glass and fragments flying and/or the soldering gun melting lead to hot liquid, I didn't know which one was going to make me a nervous wreck with his hands behind these tools.
As you can see below, he chose a butterfly rooter. Luckily, I still had some test tubes from school supplies I kept. He was so excited upon finishing it, I barely had time to take a decent picture before he was "out the door". What you DON'T see are the beautiful peach rose buds that replaced the azalea blossoms that are in this picture and the tag asking her to the Prom!
Only 2 stems of rose clusters would fit into the test tube, so I won the remaining flowers as the left over prize. I put them with the azalea blossom and made me a pretty bouquet....I felt I deserved it...haha
