A day of snow

 We canceled the class on Feb. 17 due to heavy snow.   I stayed home to watch the beautiful view from the window and arranged some arrangement for Massed Expression, Vertical Composition  and Valentine's day arrangement to enjoy myself. (2-17-2015)

Everything you need is here". The advertise attracted me the group is very friendly,we share in the companionship and have fun especially Marilyn Rubin and Sid, her husband, are our instructors, who gave us a lot of artistic advice.  It was indeed a sad, both of them passed away lately. We, the friends the students,carried with them the memory and spirit of Sid and Marilyn Rubin.
