Pressed Flower Cards

Today, my schedule worked out so that I could finally make it to another meeting of Global Gathering, the group for wives of international students that I participated in some last term. I really enjoyed getting to see everyone again! Our activity of the day was making cards from pressed flowers. The flowers came from the garden of the group leader's father. Apparently, he loves pressing flower but never does anything with them afterwards. Last year, he gave her 11 telephone books full of pressed flowers, and she brought about four of those books to the table for us to use in card-making. Some of the flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and making the cards was both easy and fun. I plan to give mine to my mom, because she really likes pretty stationary.
