Hi Ann, I've made several projects with pressed flowers. One year I made all my Christmas cards using greenery that looked like tiny little christmas trees, painted some white acrylic paint at the bottom and around the little trees and then I sprinkled white glitter over all with a big moon in the sky...They turned out really good. I also make soap and incorporated some pressed flowers on my soaps with a thin coat of parafin wax over them you can also do this with plain candles. Hope this helps....Peggy

Our local craft store carries a variety of paper; different textures, thicknesses and colors. They sell it by the sheet. I just pick out whatever suits my fancy. Usually it is something between typing paper and greeting card paper. I cut the paper down to the size an shape I want, glue on my flowers then take them all down to the small local newpaper office. They laminated them for me for a couple of dollars. It is a large laminating machine so we could get many bookmarks on a single sheet. It worked really well. I also made a few refridgerator magnets the same way...just glued peices of flexable magnetic tape on the back of them. Kay.

Yes! The box arrived yesterday and it is amazing! Everything is soooo beautiful. I took three pairs of earrings and a bookmark. I am adding a set of gold embossed gift tags, hand stamped and watercolor painted greeting cards, and 2 hand embroidered sachets. I will get it back in the mail and on it's way home on Monday! I'm so sorry I didn't post yesterday but my darling three year old daughter has the flu and I am busier than ever here. Don't worry LOL I didn't let her near the box and it should be germ free when it leaves our house. : ) I also took and then replaced six packs of seeds. What lovely seeds there are too! Thanks so much to everyone who worked on this robin. It's incredible! What a privilage it is to be a part of this swap! Hugs, Stephanie
