I know that all of us have at one time or another wished that we could give a special gift to a friend/family member that has been hurt by tragedy.  Something that they could hold onto in their time of need.  Something they could keep as an heirloom.  What about those flowers at the funeral home.  They were so beautiful.  If only they could be saved and made into some type of keepsake.  Well You CAN!  Those flower petals can be made into lasting keepsakes such as jewelry, key-chains, home décor, and religious items.  Yes your very own flower petals.

But before you jump in and have anyone make these items, there are a few things you need to be aware of.  So I will be writing a series of articles, to help you in this process. 

Last article I mentioned the importance of finding a “keepsake maker” who gives you a money back guarantee.  Another important point is to find a “keepsake maker” who is able to retain most of the original color and aroma.  That sort of goes hand-in-hand with not using the Internet Recipe for this process.  The Internet Recipe requires a lot of red roses (only), which are then dried and mixed with water and glue. Do not use any company that used this process, because all your keepsakes will be black with no aroma.  There is a keepsake company that has a full money back guarantee….which is sweet!  And their formula is not the Internet Recipe, so they do not require as many flowers for each keepsake.  They can use any type and color flower.  And they are able to retain most of your flowers original color and aroma.  To Love is to keep close to your heart, and this special keepsake company does just that.
