I love the way petals look after they've been dried and pressed. In fact, I enjoy them more this way than when they were alive and in full bloom. I wasn't sure what to do with my collection of pressed flowers until I found my small unused Moleskin in a drawer. I'm looking forward to filling up my journal now as my collection of pressed petals grow.

alexandria: thank you! it's such an easy thing to do and the best part is seeing the dried flowers for the first time.

Daniella: thank you! Some of the petals came from bouquets that my husband gave me, it's part of the reason I started collecting :)

small caps: me too!
