Sometimes I could just kick myself for being such an over acheiver!!! Mark was in charge of buying the flowers for the women of the ward for Mother's day.. we went to Home Depot and found the most beautiful annuals for a great price. Once we got them home, I thought, "Oh, it would be so nice to put a little card on each one and tie them with a ribbon so they looked a little prettier. It can't be that bad... I'll just do something really simple and quick!"
Well ONE HUNDRED cards and ribbons later... they looked beautiful, but I really was a little stupid to think that I could whip these all out in just a few minutes! HA! Hopefully they put an extra smile on the faces of those who received them! For those who weren't there on Sunday, we were able to deliver them that evening or on Monday evening for FHE. I turned out to be a great missionary opportunity and EVERY sister in the ward got a flower for Mother's Day.

I'm super glad that you hand delivered to ALL the sisters. Too many times the singles, widows, and elderly just get left out. Thank you!
I would have done the same thing - I drive myself crazy adding extra touches to things!!
