Crayon heart valentines →
I have been meanie to make these little melted hearts for a while, I have all the crayons I could ever need but peeling them have hindered my progress. But maybe this will spark my progress, especially since the heart holiday (my favorite) is coming up.

Blog Day!!!!
I found this website called Things People Make that seems like it could be good to see what other people are doing or for inspiration
How to make a Shrinky Dink Silhouette Pendent Necklace seems like it would be something nice to make for Valentine’s Day and having a silhouette of a loved one instead of having a random person silhouette.
This DIY Sparkly Tablescape would be perfect for...

Adorable Love Bird →
This is just the cutest little love bird and it has its own personality which I think makes it so special. I really wish I had someone special to give one of these to, maybe I will just make them for all my friends
My first not horrible cooked meal!!!!
On Sunday I cooked my first my that was actually good. I had a lot of attempts that ended with me eating bagel bites and then there were some that were tolerable but I hadn’t made something that was yummy!!

I can’t wait to draw faces on my own marshmallows
I would love to make these place cards for the next dinner party I attend but I am pretty sure they will not look nearly as good.

It only took 6 months
I have finally finished Queen Victoria by Christopher Hibbert. It took six months to read the whole book which only took a little over 15 hours. Unfortunately the book was a bit slow and hard to read for me. It jumped around in Queen Victoria’s life so it was often hard for me to tell what happened and when. And the names would get a bit confusing but that is just history. Now it is time to...
