4lghoward, that is the number one question of all of us, when we first get here, because we see that everyone is talking about the flowers and all. there is a flower on the right side of the page, when you have the option to give it to someone, you click on it and it turns gray, that means that you have given a flower and the person that is receiving it will have a number under their name and that should change. I saw this on another quesiton so I am just going to copy and paste it here for you from jrob: "Cuteembroidery.com is conducting testing at this time. Flowers will be used to provide new and additional benefits to users of Cuteembroidery.com." They seem to be a good thing to be collecting because my bouquet surely does smell good and look pretty. As for how you get them, you get one each day (once every 24 hour period) that you visit the site. We can now get them from others on this area of the site, and also in response to questions and answers and Cudo's for projects. And that's the short answer! I'm sending you one now. ;)" Just enjoy giving and receiving them. So with that, nuff said. A flower for you.

Here is one for you. Now whenever you see a flower - you just click on it and you will be adding to that person's bouquet.

41ghoward, loretta has given such a good answer that I am only going to say Welcome to the family . You will enjoy the designs & the many friends you will make. Here is a flower for you. Welcome

Good answer loretta, you're a quick learner! 4lghoward, now that you know how to give and receive those orange flowers - have fun with them, we do, we just love handing out those sweet-smelling flowers. Hugs and a flower for you, and for everyone else too.

Let me join in with "welcome to the site". You will like here. Loretta did a great job of explaining.

Loretta, YOU GO GIRL! 4lghoward, Welcome, we are so happy to have you here! ;)

Well, you got answered and flowered, but may I add my big Welcome to this friendly and helpful site! Glad to have you here! Marji
