			<description>Ardith and Tiffany, 



As you most likely know, we need volunteers for the Convention which is on Saturday and Sunday, November 7 &amp; 8, 2009.  Working for the association would be a great experience and resume builder.  In exchange for volunteering, MNSFA would waive their lunch/entrance fee. ($20 per person) and the Kick Off Reception ($10.00). I would also include a reference letter for each after the convention for their resume and portfolio.  



I could not waive the competition  ...</description>

			<description>I am using orcids in a hand tied bouquet for a wedding.  What do I use to make a stem?  I have never used them in a bouquet and I was thinking maybe using the stephenotis stems.  Would that work or does anyone have a better idea.  Thanks</description>

			<title>Hand tied with hydrangeas</title>
			<link>http://florists.forumotion.net/active-topics-f1/hand-tied-with-hydrangeas-t30.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Debbie</dc:creator>
			<description><![CDATA[The look I am wanting is a hand tied with hydrangeas as the base, with flowers mixed in with the hydrangeas. My question is do you group the hydrangeas together, and stick the flowers in from the top, treating the hydrangeas like an armature, and not do the traditional spiral hand tied.
<br />
Thanks.
