    Valentines Day 2024, my wife is out work in an hour, I just got home from a pre op visit, don't have time to get flowers but bought cards from me and the kids way early (ordered personalized ones). I tried this on some Pansies right now and got them dried out in a couple of minutes and hidden in the cards. Not exactly a bouquet but I know she'll love it. Thanks for the tutorial!!

      @OurUpcycledLife she loved it. I told her I dried the flowers from our garden and she gushed 😊 She's still showing it off. I might do this again for her birthday coming up this weekend

      @glendaolsen9158 thank you, admittedly I haven't been as romantic as I used to be, life stuff....but I'm getting back to it, and the kids definitely see it. My 6 year old is even trying to woo a girl at school. It's amusing to see him think of her
