Were you one of the lucky ones who received a dozen of the 50 million roses that were given on Valentine's Day?

If you were, go you! However, as we all know, roses and flowers can't last forever... or can they?

The sugar scrub was quick, easy, and cheap to make. The flower petal trays take a little more TLC. I recommend flattening the petals by putting them in a book for a few days. Also, the epoxy resin is a little expensive. However, it's worth it if you want a really cool and unique look. I love the finished product and can't wait to use the trays I made for a springtime party, which - by the looks of it - could be this weekend!
