    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    I love the bag! So pretty!

    And the leaves are great--seems the Northwest foliage season inspired you!

    Wow Kay, that bag is wonderful!
    What else do you do to the leaves besides press them?

    Beautiful, Kay! I love the bag and the leaves! Never would have thought of doing that.

    So far just press them and paint them with a paint pen. Scatter them around (think Thanksgiving dinner table) and give them to friends.

    I've also got a collection of flowers I've pressed or dried in silica. Do different things with those. Sometime I'll post those.
