Rachel's Garden
                                     pressed flower art


What once was a hobby, has become a little
business.  I started gardening just a few
years ago. I made the choice to stay home
with my new baby girl, Rachel.  When
Rachel was 5 weeks old,  she started  
having episodes that resembled seizures.  
She baffled all who witnessed it, and the
doctors were never certain what was
causing it.  
During Rachel’s first year, her episodes
were consistent. As soon as little Rachel
started walking, we never saw her little
“seizures” again.  I don’t know what that
was all about, but I do believe everything
happens for a reason .  Only God knows the
plan for each of us.  
Rachel and I would go  buy flowers, plant
them, dig them up, and replant them.  After
months of gardening 101,  Rachel and I
finally got it right! Our flowers flourished
and were beautiful!  It didn’t take me long,
to start pressing and drying our beautiful
flowers.  
Through trial and error, I learned what
flowers press beautifully.  It didn’t take me
long to create a use for my pressed
beauties.  I began making notecards,
coasters, and suncatchers.
I gave my pretties as gifts, and since then
my  little hobby blossomed into what I call
today, Rachel’s Garden.
