Planting Botanical Seed Paper MyFixitUpLife

I’m waiting for my little seed paper garden to grow.

We had seed paper leftover from Valentine’s cards, so we’re planting them.

I applaud innovators and innovations.

It’s probably an innate quality of the writer-author-editor-designer-crafer-artist soul for me to obsess about paper. The weight, texture, and finish makes me want to run my fingers over endless surfaces. Yes, I geek-out on paper.

So when I was dreaming about a new way to share Valentines with my son’s kindergarten class, I wanted to share something that lasted longer than candy. We punched out little flowers from seed paper from Botanical PaperWorks.

Seed paper is among a favorite paper for me. While there is the meaningfulness and thoughtfulness that sharing a little note brings, there’s the added bonus of being able to plant a little note and watch it bloom into flowers.

After we finished making the little notes for Jack’s classmates and teacher, we gathered the scrap seed paper.

I just planted the scraps, and I’m grateful that the seed paper will help make his kindergarten memories last a bit longer.
