duct tape flowers speech follow-up

[lonelystars.livejournal.com]

So I posted about a month ago about these duct tape roses and the speech I was going to give for a college speech class, the original post here. and about two weeks ago I did it and waited until I got the grade to post a follow up.

when I gave the speech they were amazed. seriously, jaws open and everything.

which yay, cause I spent a lot of time making these and all. and stressing over it!

as soon as I pulled out the bouquet of flowers I heard "ooo"s and "aww"s. then when I started pulling out the barrettes and the pen everyone was like "whoa!" even more and then when I pulled out the little wrapped box everyone was making all this noise and I just laughed cause I didn't know what to do.

so here, pictures of the finished flowers


bouquet of a dozen roses, 5 white 7 purple.


flowers attached to bobby pins, I was going to wear them but decided not to cause I was having a good hair day.


pen, my friends asked me to make them some of these lol


and the crowd pleaser.

I was surprised at their reactions, I really was. but the best part: she actually said that in her 15 years of teaching this course she had never seen such a reaction from an audience ever. ever!

so my final grade was a 90% :D good considering I went way overtime and got marks off for not making eye contact with people, and she says my voice had too much "sing-song" yeah whatever, she's the kind that doesn't give anyone very high marks.

I do belive I need to buy myself a present lol

:) just wanted to share. thanks for all the support and help in the beginning
