pink peach blossoms (but really, they look exactly like cherry blossoms!!) & my pink plushies...

[tomas_room2]

 

i took these pics around mid and end of january.

somehow they always bloom around cny/my bday. 

and my neighbor's tree just started blooming recently,

so i'm glad i'll keep seeing them thru the end of this month probably.

it's actually kinda tricky to take pics cuz there are often bees flying around the flowers!
pink-chan was really scare to get close 2 the flowers, but she looks better with the flowers than i do. haha...

 

oh, i actually have 3 of those plushies right now. lol. at 1st i was only going 2 buy 1 for mizza, but then they're so cute, so i got 1 for myself. but then i got really attached 2 the one i was gonna give mizza, so i ended up buying another 1 to give mizza later. lollllll. they're sooooo cute and soft and blushy neeeeee!! and always smiling. i think they're supposed 2 be sakura mochi. i guess i should call them hannari-chan but i'm used 2 calling them pink-chan. heehee... (the pink-chan alone in all these pics is mizza's pink-chan, btw! and she says "hi!" to everyone here!! hehehe...)

 

btw, i tried 2 press the flower petals using a method i found at the link below where u use a microwave and it's supposed 2 keep the color but the color is already starting 2 fade. >__< IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW 2 PRESS FLOWER PETALS AND BE ABLE 2 KEEP THE COLOR, PLS TELL ME, OK? THANKS!!!

Haha! I just updated my LJ and you updated yours too! This post is just so adorable!! Pink blossoms & cute plushies <3 I used to press & dry flowers too but I have no idea how to do that with them keeping their original color XD

ohhh...it's tough, huh? maybe these flowers just don't keep color well when pressed...

Heck! They are so cute...and pink!
This post is soooo darn adorable *flails*

I know that there are people that preserve whole wedding bouquets. I think they steam them or something but I think they also use professional chemicals and such. I usually just hang mine and sometimes put them under books. If you ever learn how then do share^^
