paper flowers
Paper flower bouquets are perfect at weddings, bridal showers, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, parties, holidays - pretty much any event or gathering you can think of! Unlike regular flowers, these paper flowers require no sunlight (ever), no water (ever), and will never wilt or die. Years later they'll still look as good as the day they arrive. Plus, NO pollen!There are many colors and variations of paper flower bouquets. Some can be fun and whumisical, some can be elegant and stylish. Different colors paired together can give totslly different results. Here are just a few samples of bouquets we have made.

Cards
Not too long ago I decided to teach myself the art of paper quilling. So far I think I'm doing a pretty good job =)
Below are some of my handmade, paper quilled greeting cards. In case you didb't know (and you'd like to...) paper quilling is the art of cutting paper into long thin strips, rolling and pinching the pieces into different shapes, and then gluing the shapes together to form decorative art. While it's exact origins are a mystery the art of quilling is thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt. Wherever it was invented, it keeps me from being bored!

No one likes a pigeon-hole. It's wrong to try and harness creativity. Life is art. Art is free. Art is love. Art is everywhere. What's the point of art if it's not shared? All that jazz...

about
Hi, I'm Andrea Greengard & I live in Decatur Georgia. Sometimes it seems like I'm one of the few people still in this town that was also born
here. In fact, I even went to the same high school that my Dad went to. I am a full stack web developer, web designer,
and graphic/multimedia designer.
I'm also a computer repair guy / IT help desk / official 'look it up online' person / technical
support team for my friends. I'm also an animal lover, and am thankful to have had a lot of wonderful pets in my life over the years.
I generally remember the names of people's pets before I remember the person's name, and I'm not really even very embarassed to admit
that.
I also like to pretend I moonlight as an artist. As a result, I make a lot of pretty cool things which you'll see on this site and some booth pictures from a few artist markets I've participated in. Oh, & if you'd care to check out my professional, web developer,
computer geek website, you can do so here. Or, if you'd like to check the awesome website I made for my paper flowers and greeting cards, have a look at www.ThosePaperFlowers.ga
