About Custom Orders
Custom order pieces continue to represent some of my favorite work. I've been asked to create flowers I never even knew existed, I've been told stories about the meaning that certain flowers hold in peoples' lives, and I've helped people surprised loved ones with gifts that will be cherished for years to come.
How does it work?
First, fill out the inquiry form (found to the right on this page) and I will respond with an email that addresses any additional information I may need to give you an estimate for your project. From there we will come up with a set timeframe for delivery, the specific items your piece will include, and any other details about the order. Once we've agreed upon a scope for the piece, I'll setup a private listing here so that you can check out and pay for your item. Upon payment I begin making your piece, I typically send you a photo of my progress while I'm working, and once it's complete I'll send you final photos to keep (in case you're not the final recipient).

Custom Order FAQs
What should I plan to spend?
base my custom design pricing on the quantity and variety of pieces created. Stems start at $15 and fluctuate depending on their materials, complexity, and level of detail. I also handcraft all of the greenery and other fillers needed to complete any arrangement, so that those costs will be factored into estimate totals as well.
As of November 1, 2018, I request a $200 project minimum for custom designs.
How much time do you need?
Ideally, I like to plan these projects at least a month out. But, I also know that's not always feasible, or sometimes a special occasion pops up! Send me your information, and I'll see what I can do.
How will my order arrive?
I package arrangements so that the entire piece ships as one unit. Upon arrival, you, or the recipient of your gift, will just need to remove the vessel and enjoy!
Stems and bouquets are swaddled in tissue paper for protection and then wrapped in heavyweight wrapping paper. This bundle is then also wrapped and protected within the shipping box. The bundle itself is presentable as a gift, or you can remove the bundle and arrange them as you please!
Blooms may need gentle fluffing or smoothing out after shipment. Paper flowers aren't as fragile as you may think—so as long as you're careful, you won't damage the flowers.
Below is a collection of a few of the pieces I've created for custom orders to give you some ideas and inspiration. I've also started documenting some of my favorite custom design projects on the blog, which may help you understand more about the process as well. If you're wondering what types of flowers I can make, this gallery is a great place to start.

So please if there is more info on losmen in like Maura Siberut or close to Taileleo and Burgerworld let us know.
Also the fact that there are losmen in Pulau Karangmadjat instead of paying big money in Kandui is good to know ... thanks ;-)

|Today, the snow is on the ground and the cold is in the air. It is lovely to look at if you don't need to get out into it. This morning, I spent an hour and a half just reading slowly and studying the chapters I read. It was very enjoyable. I usually must read fast to cover the ground, but with the snow, I had no meetings with my staff so I could take the time. To me, time to read is a joy. Now, I found so many things to write about, but I can only mention a few... which few? Here are some:
1) TWO THANKFUL SOULS? In Mark 14:3, we see two people: Simon the leper, and a woman with an alabaster box of ointment, called a sinner. The disciples said: "Why was this waste of the ointment made?"(vs. 4) and Simon (a Pharisee) said: "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner." (Luke 7:39) Now, here is what struck me.... both were sinners: Simon and the woman. But one was also saved and healed!! Simon the leper! He had to have been healed of his leprosy or no one would have attended his meal! IF anyone should have been thankful, it should have been Simon. How thankful are we? He has saved us, sealed us, indwelt us, empowered us, encouraged us, loved us, ..... WOW!!
LORD, thank you for all you have done, and forgive me for times I have not been thankful. Forgive me for thinking circumstances have anything to do with the grateful heart I should always manifest, but don't. Help me Lord, to always remind myself that no matter the challenges of life, I'm saved, sealed, indwelt, empowered, encouraged, loved....!!
2) DESERT TRAINING- Luke 1:80, tells us about John the Baptist. It says of him: "the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the desert till the day of his showing unto Israel." The days in the desert were not wasted years!! Sometimes we think we are in a place that no one thinks about, and we are hidden from the limelight, and nothing we do makes any difference.... but this is desert training!! Only until we can do right when no one sees, and no one knows... are we getting prepared to serve God when people can see!! In the desert, we get to know God, and God gets to test us to reveal to us just what our strengths and weaknesses are. Be patient in the desert... you are in training!!
3) ARE YOU SUPPOSING?? In Luke 2:44, Mary and Joseph were "supposing him to have been in the company" when they "went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance." I wonder how many people think they are saved because they go to church or because their loved ones are saved, or some other thing.... when all the while they are simply "supposing". Do you know you are saved? I hope you know that you know!! Another thought, .... in Bethlehem, their relatives were there as well, but they did not come to the birth, nor have room for the young couple with baby Jesus; but now, years later, they imagine young Jesus is simply playing with his cousins... time had healed things. They had rejected Mary because of her unexplained pregnancy, but now they were married and time had healed things they did not understand or approve of. Time will heal your hurts too.... be patient in the desert!
Well, I've just got started and could go on for another hour, but I've been at this for a while this morning. I've enjoyed the reading, and I wish I had more time to share with you.

From a distance, you might believe you are approaching a collection of classical paintings. Here, for example, we see the Virgin Mary, nursing her child, portrayed in the archetypal one-point perspective of the Christian Madonna depictions. Next to it, an example of the growing importance of post-Renaissance portrait art, is the picture of a man, adorned and bedecked with attributes befitting his apparent status. He is seated in a narrow room, curtains and wall hangings defining the small space, frozen in a formal and ceremonial pose, eyes directed to the observer. In another picture, a woman standing, seemingly lost in thought, is reminiscent of a Vermeer genre painting in which the seemingly spontaneous moment of a domestic scene captured served as a allegorical statement on social and moral issues.
On closer inspection, however, we find ourselves in the throes of a riddle.
These portraits may seem to follow the rules of the classic in their construction but they refuse to be accordingly decoded. The person in the tightly bound corset, hair artfully draped, is obviously a man. The attributes surrounding him – artichokes and framed sausages hanging on strings – shun iconographical meaning as do the berries and empty masks in the ostensible Virgin Mary portrayal.The classical composition and allusion to recognised genres in form and style suggest that the pictures can be traditionally read but the symbolic context remains inaccessible.
Konstanze Habermann's medium is photography. The expectation and belief that photography depicts reality and is ergo: real is a truth long since refuted.
A photograph is not a depiction of the world but the creation of its own reality. While this realisation puts to question the expectations of documentary photography in reproducing the world, it allows dramatised photography to appear more authentic. If photography is not depicting 'the truth', then the conscious creation of its own reality, divorced from the real world, must be permitted.
Against this background, an attempt to decode the symbols presented in these works as a means of iconographical interpretation seems unnecessary or even meaningless. There is no personification or allegory depicted in the pictures that is universally recognisable as general knowledge or general cultural expression.
These works are pictorial realisations of the author's imagination and as such, they become their own reality, visible to the beholder.
Several of Habermann's pieces remind us that the reality of pure fantasy does not have to remain that of a single person, presented to others for viewing only: minotaurs, satyrs and elves are examples of imaginary creatures that have become a part of our world beyond their actual material existence.
When a reality, created of imagination and fantasy, is shared by so many, it becomes a common truth.

Should Investors Jump Into This Hot IPO?
Shares of RE/MAX are up more than 20% on the day of its IPO as the rest of the market sags. Motley Fool Supernova Analyst Matthew Argersinger isn't surprised by RE/MAX's timing, though -- he thinks this is the right time for RE/MAX to IPO considering the success of its competitors, including Trulia and Zillow, which have had great runs since their IPOs. Matt thinks that the strength of residential real estate combined with low interest rates has made this a strong market for RE/MAX, but he worries about the market's future.
With the American markets reaching new highs, investors and pundits alike are skeptical about future growth. They shouldn't be. Many global regions are still stuck in neutral, and their resurgence could result in windfall profits for select companies. A recent Motley Fool report, "3 Strong Buys for a Global Economic Recovery," outlines three companies that could take off when the global economy gains steam. Click here to read the full report!

This is one of thousands of photos posted to Stealthy Freedoms of Iranian Women, a Facebook page dedicated to "Iranian women inside the country who want to share their "stealthily" taken photos without the veil."
Within the first two days of its creation, 30,000 women posted photos of themselves. Two weeks later, the page netted more than 200,000 likes.
"There is a phrase called guilty pleasures in English, you know, like having a fondness for chocolate when you know it's not good for you," says journalist and creator Masih Alinejad. "For me, when I was in Iran, taking my veil off, was like thumbing my nose at authority, especially the authority that was forced upon me."
As The Wall Street Journal reports, come summer Iranian women face heightened scrutiny from the "morality police."
"For a few weeks at the beginning of warm weather season—when sandals and capri pants and colorful linen tunics replace drab winter coats and boots–Iran's morality police raid the streets punishing women for daring to show their painted toes, bare ankles and streaks of highlight," writes WSJ reporter Farnaz Fassihi.
Mounire Charrad, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas-Austin and Middle Eastern women's studies specialist, says she was most struck by three things in the images posted on "Stealthy Freedoms": the multiple generations of women represented, the supportive comments posted by men and the photos depicting couples or mentioning husbands.
"Women in different places have found ways of expressing their own power in ways that don't cross to the other side," she says. "But certainly 100,000 people, with support from men and mothers – it means women are responding to this."
And higher-profile posters, such as human rights lawyer Nasrin Soutoudeh, are also joining the group. When Soutoudeh posted a photo of herself – head uncovered – to the page on May 15, the picture and her accompanying message was shared more than 1,000 times within just 24 hours.
"The term 'Stealthy Freedom' is indicative of the pressures that exists within Iran," she wrote. "When thousands of women defy the hijab laws on social media, we cannot deny the existence of pressures for change."
Although women expose their faces on the page, sometimes only obscured by sunglasses or a camera angle, Alinejad keeps the names of all the posters anonymous.
"These women are extremely brave because they have posted their photographs on Facebook, which is banned under the law in Iran," Alinejad says. "They are in a way daring the authorities to arrest them. And with the publicity that the site has received, the pictures of these women are all over the world."
In another photo, a woman dips her toes in the ocean, her hair gathered in a thick black ponytail: "I am an Iranian woman; and I know my men's eyes cannot bear to see my freedom! I don't want this freedom so that I can show off my beauty. I just want to have it so that my hair can breathe! … Dear Masih, I'd like to thank you for your efforts to help me and many other women like me to be heard."
As Charrad points out, displaying an uncovered head on Facebook is not as defiant as walking freely on a sidewalk in Tehran. But it's an important step, and one that more and more women are taking.
In one photo dated May 15, a woman is running in an open field, a colorful scarf streaming behind her. She's a distant figure; the vastness of the valley and the vivid blue of the sky almost hide her completely.
"My dear Masih," she writes, "I love this photo dearly. I took it a month ago in Shiraz near Sheshpir River. It was a sunny day and my husband said 'Don't you really feel hot? Be comfortable..!' So I removed my scarf from my head and started running in the plain.. I enjoyed the wind blowing through my hair so much that the sound of my laughter filled the whole plain."

This is a piece I wrote about my experience visiting a friend on his last day of chemotherapy.
I've been lucky; I've only experienced cancer peripherally. I've known people impacted by it, but overall I've been fortunate enough to avoid any life-changing episodes with the dreaded C-word, that "Destroyer of Worlds." But earlier this week I went to a treatment center to see a friend ring a bell, signaling the end of an arduous round of chemotherapy, and the experience was, well, life-changing.
The first thing that struck me was the duplicitousness of the building. A new construction, the brick edifice was lined with shiny hardwood floors, tranquil paintings, inviting furniture, and state-of-the-art equipment. But for all its warm decor and impressive appurtenances, it was still the place in which no person wants to find themselves. It's the embassy to the land of the afflicted. It is the meeting place of the unwell—a place of worst case scenarios, of nightmares, of catastrophic news given gently by kind doctors. It is the last vestige of hope, where people barter and bargain, agreeing to drain bags of unthinkable poison for the chance at a few more years.
Then there were the nurses who were genuinely positive and optimistic, with radiating smiles and welcoming greetings. Their demeanor is a medicine of a kind, putting everyone at ease, no small feat in such a place. The good rapport with their patients is immediately apparent, as they exchange friendly banter—asking questions about family and interests, alluding to previous conversations and appointments. It's clear that they are invested, that they really have come to know the people whom they treat. This environment, these amiable interactions help lighten the unimaginable load.
Patients that endure the regular doses of radiation have a chance to "ring the bell," symbolizing the culmination of these torturous medical treatments and marking the next step on the road to recovery. Loved ones usually arrive with gifts, the patient reads aloud a message encapsulating the experience, and the bell is rung a number of times—once for every session. As my friend rang the bell a dozen times, I was moved almost to tears for a number of reasons: my friend's journey, the words he read as he himself was choking up, the authentic clapping from the gathered onlookers. It was affecting.
But then I glanced around and saw some people who would almost certainly never ring that bell, who had presumably heard those celebrations a number of times, all the while knowing that their reprieve would never come. As the last bell chime dwindled back into silence, the juxtaposition hit me. Here it was again: the hope for life springing from a place cloaked in the prospect of death. The ward is, for so many, the gateway to that "undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns."
For a person in good health, passing through the halls of this realm is jarring. There are people everywhere, some alone, others in small groups, all wearing looks of unmistakable worry. Despite any uplifting words about odds and stages, there is a palpable fear that comes with the realization that this could be it. The room, the hushed whispers, the pained expressions all pull everything sharply into focus. They shatter the veneer of the throwaway platitudes that we all say but never truly absorb. "Life is short." "Someday we're going to die."
That's the epiphany that bears down on any visitor with ocean-bottom pressure. Here are people who, until recently, had been living lives of serene normalcy until a phone call or a doctor's visit brought everything to rubble. Each and every one of us is living on borrowed time, our good health on a knife edge, only days or months or years from a similar call, for us or a loved one.
We become so mired in the banalities of making ends meet, of useless gossip, of meaningless arguments and grudges, of utter irrelevance; we live as though we'll never be the one who is the subject of the inevitable bad news. These were the thoughts that pummeled me in this pantheon of suffering and perseverance. I was reminded of Charles Bukowski, who wrote shelves of poetry about glaring facts of life that we tacitly ignore. "We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing."
The visit to to the cancer treatment center was a formative one. It was the starkest reminder of mortality, of life's transience, of human kindness and tenacity. I'm going to keep the echo of that bell in my mind; I'm going to remember the time it tolled, and the many times it stayed silent, despite the deepest longings. And I'm going to try to live my life the best I can, because I know someday I may be back in that building, under different circumstances.
This year and every year, think on the bell. Because like poet John Donne said when pondering life's brevity, "…never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

Why Herbs (Sometimes) Don't Work
One of the biggest and most frequent complaints I get (and read) about herbal remedies is that they don't work.
Ok, I get it. Sometimes an herbal remedy legitimately does not work for a myriad of reasons — body chemistry, subpar herbs, poor processing, mistaken cause of the complaint, etc. But more often than not? The herb's ability to restore health doesn't match the client's expectations for healing. Let me explain.
Herbs are food, and food is medicine. We've seen this time and time again; sugar, rancid fats, gluten and dairy can all be the causes of disease and discomfort in the body. Say you're having digestive complaints (often linked to dairy). I'd give you ginger or marshmallow or turmeric and advise you to cut out the dairy. Maybe you're not ready to give up the dairy, but decide to try the herbs anyway. Guess what? Those herbs won't help. Until you cut out the underlying source of your discomfort, the herbs can't assist in your healing.
Same thing with drugs — if you're switching from a sleeping pill to valerian or passion flower, you're probably going to have to suffer through a few sleepless nights while your body weans itself off the chemicals. Herbs take time to work.
Herbs probably won't "cure" you of your issues the way pharmaceuticals will. Or, at least, that's what most people believe. Pharmaceuticals most often work on symptoms like pain or discomfort, while masking the source of the disease. Herbs go to the source; they're tonics, meaning they heal the stomach lining, the heart, the joints. But they won't (necessarily) take the immediate discomfort away.
Over time, herbs can certainly do the trick. No one ever said healing was comfortable (ask anyone who's made it through a juice fast).
Obviously, your lifestyle is your choice. If you suffer from chronic bronchitis but keep smoking, herbs probably aren't going to ease your pain. If your lifestyle choice includes chemicals, you might need to fight discomfort with chemicals as well.
There's no judgment in these statements, by the way. Giving up vices and habits is hard; I'm totally with you on that struggle. But it all comes down to personal responsibility — you are responsible for your health.
Does that mean that you have to be a raw foodie, give up wine and bread and dairy in order to see any results from herbal remedies? No, of course not. In fact, if you did all that at once, you'd probably suffer from withdrawal and detox and be totally miserable.
There's wisdom in moderation. Asceticism isn't for everyone. We're here to enjoy our lives, but part of that enjoyment (true enjoyment) is being healthy enough to relish every single moment well into old age.
So, if your herbal remedies aren't working, take a look at your lifestyle. What small changes can you make? You never know — cutting out that extra cup of dairy might make all the difference. Just be wild, daring, and feisty enough to let go. Then wait. See what happens.

Euro figures claim 8 for the 4-pot manual fastback, 13.5 if you add the second bank. Spritmonitor roughly backs that up, 9.6 for the 4-pot manual, 13.3 for the V8 manual - both convertibles and fastbacks mixed together, but won't make that much of a difference.I'm sitting here staring at the Ford website trying to figure out how the 4cyl turbo and V8 have the same fuel economy figures. That CAN'T be right.
In 'Murican that's 29.4, 17.4, 24.5, 17.7.

We just bid farewell to our dear friends from Redemption Church in Delray Beach Florida. What a wonderful time we had serving alongside this team. Missions teams are a huge part of the ministry down here. Without the help, love, and support of families, individuals and churches, we would not be able to do what we do. The children especially love when people come to visit. They constantly ask when the next missions team is coming and who is coming down with them.
Speaking of missions trips, it seems as if the Lord has given us a wonderful opportunity forthe children. Towards the end of last year, I began noticing that the children are taking certain things for granted. Especially around Christmas time, it was as if they felt like they deserved all the attention, presents, etc, that so many people gave. I began praying for a way that we could help the children understand the importance of not just "receiving" all the time, but also "giving."
I was right in the midst of planning a few of our missions trips for this year, when the "light bulb" went off. What if we took our children on a missions trip? I shared the thought with our team and they loved it. We began to pray and think of where we might be able to take a bunch of children. Someone suggested Mazatlan. I couldn't find any Calvary Chapels in Mazatlan, however, the Lord lead me to YWAM's website. I began to read about their ministry and the different opportunities for teams to be involved in. I emailed the director asking if it would even be a possibility to bring an "orphanage" on a missions trip. I shared a little about our ministry and what the Lord had been speaking to me. I had no idea what kind of response I would get, but I sent the email anyway.
I got an email back with an overwhelming response. The director had shared with the YWAM team our desire to bring our kids on a missions trip and they LOVED it. The thought of one orphanage going on a trip to serve another orphanage, seemed wonderful to them. They even asked if it would be possible to make a short documentary of our trip.
Last week I was able to talk with the director on the phone for a few hours. By the end of our time, it was apparent to both of our ministries that the Lord was opening up this wonderful door of opportunity. I can't believe how quickly all this has come about and we are rapidly getting things prepared and in order for our departure.
We will be leaving early Monday morning, April 6th. The drive will take 10-12 hours. We will then spend the next four days doing some of the following things…
- serve @ feeding centers
- serve @ 2 different orphanages (one of which is for handicap children)
- we will sing songs, color, tell bible stories and playwith the children
- help clean/serve around the YWAM base as well as some local churches
- participate in small work projects at local churches and in the community
And, of course there will be a lot of time hanging out with and investing in our children. Non of the children have seen the ocean before and they are ECSTATIC about that. We will also spend time at an aquarium (which they have never been to either), learning about God's creation, visit a lighthouse, go on a boat ride, and help teach them how to swim.
Our team is especially looking forward to this extended getaway time with our kids. Often times we get lost in the routine, structure, schedule, etc, here, that we don't have that much needed uninterrupted time to spend with them. This will definitely be a life changing trip not only for our staff and volunteers, but also for the children.
YWAM has graciously waived most of their fees since we are an orphanage. In fact, they are not charging us for any of the children, only the adults. What a wonderful blessing! The most expensive part of our trip will be getting there. We estimate that the gas and tolls will cost between $800-$900. The rest of the expenses are not that much. The children are working hard around the orphanage on the weekends and after school to help pay for their trip. If you would like to donate specifically to our missions trip, please let me know via email, email@example.com OR phone call, 253.223.9397, and I can explain how you can do so.
There will definitely be lots of pictures and stories to come. We are having a number of different prep meetings with the children, where we spend time in prayer, the word and explaining what a missions trip will be like. The two meetings we have had thus far have been incredibly fruitful! Please, please, please pray for our team, the children and all the preparation that will go into this trip. Muchas Gracias!
