"Neither" Cat Norman. I bought a photo from her to give to Ben and Sara. She said, "Sweet!" and "Very nice."

Tim. He said, "Where's my frickin flower" so I gave him today's. He said, "Sweet man. Awesome." He tried placing it on the wall of his cube, but just laid it on his desk and said, "That's cool." Then he said, "Sorry I had to ask for my flower."

Later he said, "My day's complete now that I have that flower. My life is complete"

Leigh-Anne. She asked what the date was as we were walking to get coffee. Since the flowers have the date on the back, I pulled out the flower to check. She said that today's flower was prettier than the one I had given her. On the way back from coffee she said, "I really want that flower." She asked if there was a rule against having duplicates, I said, "No" and I gave it to her. She said, "Yaaaay!" and "It is really pretty!".

People really liked the black flowers. This was the last black flower.

Leigh-Anne emailed me: "So, I looked at the original flower you gave me and it is dated May 30th…so it was 5 months ago…but even better you gave it to me on my second day with the company…smooth!"

Ha. I am smooth.

Doug Kane. He used to work where I work, and I saw him while he was visiting. He said, "Cool. I appreciate it."

11/2/07

Rowan. He is in love with his iPhone and he wanted an "iFlower". I rebelled against this idea, but he is a friend and he really wanted it so I wrote "iFlower" on the back along with the date. He said, "Oh, it is different.", pointing at the flower and tracing the stem with his finger, "It is a little curvy." He got up from his desk and said, "I have to show Nancy." He said something about how Nancy had a regular, boring flower, but he had an iFlower.

Nancy. Yesterday she and Rowan fussed at me for not giving one to them. When I gave the flower to Nancy she said, "You did not have to give me one because I asked." She thanked me and asked why I gave them out. She said, "Aww. We forced you to do it. Isn't that sad."

Beaune. Champagne Server Man. He said, "Fleur" and laughed.

9/25/07

Mane. Phamarcy Woman. She checked it out and pointed at the date: She said something in French. I said, "Today" and she repeated, "Today."

9/15/07

Paige. She and Robin were sharing a booth at the East Atlanta Strut. She was happy and said, "Thanks Stew!" She said, "My own flower! And it has today's date! I want to pin it on but I don't want to put a hole in the canvas."

Tracy "Full Name" Young. I sent her on a little scavenger hunt before we ate lunch at Willys. When she found the flower, she struck a pose with her arms straight in the air, kind of 'I scored a touchdown' pose. It was very cool. She said something, but she was too far away for me to hear it. She said she was going to put it on her dream board. A dream board is just a board of stuff you like. 'Dream Board' would be considered a noun phrase and not a word.

Mark. We were watching Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival. He said, "Nice. Excellent."

8/24/07

Corey. He already has two and he wanted a third badly. He explained that he takes them up North and he is the only one doing that. He was happy and said that we were dating now. I wonder what his wife thinks about that. He suggested the idea of there being a foundation in the future where painted flowers are given away. I told him about Jamie's party idea. He liked that.

8/17/07

Erika. She said, "Thanks man!" and she asked if I had piles of them sitting at home. I explained I made about 60 at a time. She asked if they were all the same color. No, some have a black background and some have a white background. I have not given away any black background ones away yet. She got one with a green background.

Karen From My Spring Ultimate Team. Apparently, her kid goes to the same school my kid goes to. Who knew? She was very happy. I could tell by her reaction that I had already given her one. Oh well, she liked it. She is moving to Salt Lake City. Have a nice new life Karen!!

8/10/07

Robin. She said, "Yay! That is awesome!" and she gave me a hug. Today is her last day here at work. August 10th, 2007! Remember that now!

7/18/07

Chris. He is an old workmate of mine and he happens to work in the same building I do. He said, "Nice."

7/10/07

Drew. Heather and I met him while flying to San Francisco last year. He asked for a black and white flower, so I made him the one pictured here. He lives in Pennsylvania, so I am mailing it to him.

Update: Drew said, "i live in maryland GEEK!!!". We will now get to see if the postal service sends the flower back. How fun!

7/9/07

Sharon. Her co-worker has two(!) flowers and she told me that she would like one also. I told her I would mail her one and she said I made her day. However, I kept putting it off, but yesterday I found this envelope and it seemed perfect for mailing her flower.

Sharon emailed, "Aww, I’m honored! I’ll be checking the mail every day. :) Thanks."


July 16, 2007
Update! Sharon sent me the following postcard. How cool is that? Thanks Sharon!

6/28/07

Bernard. He said, "Cool. Thank you."

6/16/07

Stefan. He said, "What's next, a ring?"
