She has great ideas! But then most of the people I like are very creative. So here goes.

One of the links I found on making rose beads says that they have tried lots of different flowers to make these and they all work equally well. Leaves how ever do not, they get too slimy she says. Cool. This got me thinking that I think I know someone that might like lavender beads. Hmmmmmmm...... .... Very cool.

ladykarris got me looking for the instructions on how to make these and I was amazed at how simple they can be. And I got to thinking how many I could make in a summer. I have 12 rose bushes and there is only so many that I can dry and store for Craft purposes. And since they make me sneeze now, potpourri is out of the question. So we shall see how this goes.
