Made some journals and notebooks as gifts not just with roses but used all types of petals. They turned out beautifully, and were a big hit. thanks

I didn't want to throw away the flowers that my boyfriend bought me. This was a cute and functional way to preserve them.

would make a wonderful journal for me, my middle name is rose
