I once took a class in high school that sparked my interest in leaving. We had to collect 21 native to our state. From there, I began noticing trees everywhere I went even in the weirdest times, like at a funeral. What hobbies do you have? 
I like collecting leaves too! How do you preserve them? Typically i just press them in between newspaper paper but i heard you can also laminate them too.
Yes! Lamination is a lovely way to go. I still have my high school collection because of lamination and the newspaper as the background when laminating. Copy paper works too.. 
Oh that sounds good; I be it preserves them well. I have even seen people make them into magnets. 
Magnets is a new idea, but how is that possible? Maybe with a thin coat of epoxy resin and laminate? 
It is pretty simple. Just get yourself some thin magnet sheet form any craft store. Use 1 or 2 inch piece and just glue it to the back of the laminate. Use white glue or regular glue as super glue will kill the laminate
