Does this floral arrangement in the picture look like the arrangement on the website?

Not to me.. after a discussion witht the owner of Bakersfield Finest Florist, who says she persoanlly made the bouquet and it was beautiful and that she followed the teleflora recipe for the Party Time boquet I ordered.. The only apology I received was for the delivery of the wrong day on the order.Everything else was my fault and she was hot as hell to tell me I am wrong..so what can I do?...

Nothing really. Though I was incorrect in saying only 2 carnations and 2 roses.. you can see that there are 3 carnations and 2 roses and 3 little red things that my Mom says are not rosebuds...

so disappointed..but whatever, I am in the wrong and next time I will stick with FTD......

 

 

Today- sooo tired this morning.. talked to the Florist and she happened to be the owner and was appalled and shocked and told me I was making fraudulent charges against her and how could I since she made the bouquet personally and it was beautiful and how dare I say that it was anything but .. she followed the recipe and I am wrong and she had to go because nothing was wrong with the boquet.about an hour ago · Comment · Like / Unlike


Yesterday- so upset at the Bakersfield Florists that my flower order was no where near the order that I placed.. I paid $60.00 for a floral arrangement and my grandma received about $12.00 -$20.00 worth of flowers and a buttload of babys breath I am so disappointed.. I have to wait a day to yell at them because they are not open on Sunday.. I may just end up doing a cc chargeback if they dont fix it.
 
These flowers were for my Grandmothers 90th Birthday Party that I was unable to attend. I chose the colors specifically and the arrangement because it would match the colors of her cake and the colors she said were her favorite. I'm sorry Grandma that they were not as wonderful as they should have been for your 90th birthday party.

Read A Thon

Shirley Lanham Elelmentary School is hosting a Read Athon.

This Read A Thon ecourages students and families to read and raise money for new SLES Library books.
The student gathers pledges from family, friends,etc. etc. then has to participate in the Read A Thon by reading for at least 30 minutes for 11 dys. They then collect the monies pledged and turn it in with their time sheet.

All readers receive a bookmark and $1.00 for every $10.00 pledged to spend at the school store

All students who earned $30.00 or more: will be recognized by a personal bookplate in a new library book.

Top Earning Class from each grade level: Ice Cream Treat

Top Individual Earners at each grade level: $25.00 NEX gift Card

Top Overall Earner: $50.00 Gift Card (Not eligible for $25.00 grade level prize)

It is really hard to receive pledges when you are in a small Community and most everyone has a child or more at the Elementary School.  I have always even as a little girl enjoyed books so being able to help the School receive new books is important to me. I enjoy reading now and buy and or check out many books, I love sharing the enjoyment of reading with others and finding books that take you to a different place. I want to make sure my children as well as others experience that.

This is the first year the school has done a Read A Thon with pledges, it does bring back memories for me of a Jog A Thon I did during Elementary school. Those days people pledged like .15 - $1.00 if you were lucky and paid according to how many laps you finished.

Ahh those are the moments.. Well I am heading out to my J-O-B, sometimes it sounds like such a dirty word..

I promise some layouts for you soon! I have them all laid out except for 3 pages, but you know what I can not find any adhesive.. ughghg.. when I have a day off I have to go hunt some adhesive down so I can finish these layouts.
