Yes, it is complete & I believe it has been approved.....HURRAH!! But here is the catch....remember that this was on a deadline of by Valentine's Day, right....remember that it was to be approximately 3' tall & 2 1/2 to 3' wide, right....OK, all was going according to plan.....until I began the plans to get it shipped out.
Below are the details on the shipping of this arrangement!
Dog Musher
Hmm considered it, but now most all snow is melted!!
Hot Air Balloon
NO WAY!! Not worth the risk...besides it is far too cold!
PONY EXPRESS!!
No longer in existence!! That idea was out!!
USPS
Item is too large....They won't even consider it!!
UPS & FED EX
Yes, they will ship it......BUT....there is always a BUT......it is just a bit too large to ship it normal, you know like when their big delivery trucks pull up to your house & the man delivers. NO, this is big enough that it has to be shipped UPS or FED EX FREIGHT!!! That is when you box it up & then a huge 18 wheel semi trailer pulls up to your house & the man delivers!!
Yeah, it can be delivered......if I want to spend...................a whopping $300..............no you are not seeing things there are 2 0's after that 3!!
I know, THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS...........UNBELIEVABLE!
So looks like after Valentine's Day I am packing my bags & loading my 4Runner & headed out for the farthest flower delivery EVER made in the history of White Iris Designs!!!
At least we came to a compromise....they wait till after the Valentine holiday & I get them their completed Flower arrangement personally delivered!!
I still cannot say where I am going or to whom I am delivering it to.....but I am going to continue to post while on my trip. Maybe after all of this "SPECIAL TREATMENT" they will relent & let me tell you who they are. Fingers Crossed!!
OH I almost forgot.....Want to see what I am delivering? Here it is completely finished....I think it is going to work....but I am taking my designs tools & some extra flowers, just in case I have to make some adjustments!! Ahhh a flower lady's work is never finished!

Okay, after all you have done, I hope we will get to know the mystery client. Do they know what trouble you have gone thru to please them? The arrangement is beautiful, gosh 300 buck-a-roos! I'm giving up my career and going into postal!
Looks beautiful Tammy!!
Have fun doing the shipping yourself!! LOL!! I know first hand, how expensive shipping can be.
;-)
What a fun post, Tammy - I loved the pics and your funny comments!
The arrangement is beautiful...can't believe you are hand delivering it!
Crazy!
Now you've got us wondering...who this famous mystery person is!
Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging remarks this morning on the blog.
After a rough day yesterday, it was so uplifting and a Godsend to find your words there.
Love,
Jlo
Ohhhh, I love that arrangement. It is beautiful. Enjoyed reading your amusing comments on shipping - too bad they're true. Maybe we should all go into the shipping business.
Well, if your client is not satisfied (can't imagine that they wouldn't be) you are welcome to drop the arrangement by Arkansas! I'm sure I can find a place for it. LOL
Keep us posted on your traveling adventures. Be careful and have fun!
Tammy, It came out wonderful! But 2 days before VALENTINES DAY, I can imagine you now...greening, stripping ( yes girls I said STRIPPING)and designing away! You have got to be BUSY...but loving it! Tammy...lol...I bet alot of the gals out there in bloggie land don't know that us floral designers "STRIP" for their fellas before they bring home the roses! Oh...lol...this is a sticky little business ...but YOU are one of the BEST!
Oh my!!! What a beautiful arrangement Tammy.....I knew you were going to blow there socks off with you work. The cost of $300 to deliver geezs...lol lol Can't wait to see pictures of you on your trip have fun and stay safe.
Love LisaLisa
Your mystery client is sure in for a special treat! Hope they fully appreciate everything you are doing for them.
Well they went to the best Florist in the country for their order. They knew! I can't wait for more posts on this topic. Sounds mysterious, exciting, challenging and best of all, adventurous. Wuu huu. Have a great Valentines day trip.
All I can say is WOW!! How beautiful is that arrangement, take care delivering and can't wait to hear all about it.
This has been quite the mystery I'll tell you.
Its very lovely. You did a great job. I can't imagine someone is spending that much money for you to personally delivery it!? Oh my.
I sure do hope we get the end of the story and you are able to tell us who they were for.
Drive safely..
