Anniversary Gifts

Today is my parents' 23 anniversery. I was freaking out all day about what to get them, and still thinking about it when I got home from school. Then it hit me. I had won two stuffed turtles at a fair, and I had no use of them.  First I printed out two pictures of my mom and dad at their wedding. Then, I took out some velcro and (taped?) the pictures to the "shells" of the turtles.  I also put some velcro on their hands so if you put them together they looked like they were holding hands. They were adorable! Mom and Dad loved them! This is a cool little project that I think anyone can do. You could do this on all kinds of stuffed animals, on teddy bears for example, take your picture and tape it on its tummy. Happy anniversary Mom and Dad!

Nail Polish Swatch Book

First of all, I'd like to give all the credits to Cutepolish, she is truly amazing with nail designs and this was a great little project to help me get started! So, a little polish swatch book is a really handy thing to have around, especially if you're like me who has so many nail polishes and, I mean, when you want to pick a color and don't want to look through all your polishes, this is LIFE CHANGING.

First, I had to turn the whole house upside down to look for a notebook, and, I found this:

Then, I took out all my nail polishes and lined them up, so then it's quite easy to keep track of which you've done and which you've not. Next just make little circles with your nail polish and write the name of it underneath. Make sure you wait for the page to dry before closing it!

When you're done, take a step back and look at your work? Cool eh?

Raw Candy

This was a really easy and cool thing to do as I need to open up my snacks-for-school varieties and this is definitely on my list :).
For this recipe all the credit goes to Operatiunea Pachetelul (it's in romanian)
This just 150 grams ofdried apricots, 75 grams of almonds, and coconut flakes :)

First what we did is took the apricots and almonds and threw them into the blender until they turned into a paste that is a lot like play-doh.
Ours didn't turn out that way because  our apricots were a little too dry, so if you're trying this make sure that they're not completely dried out.

Once you've done that take your paste and shape it into little balls, easy enough right? Then all you've got to do is take the balls and run them through coconut flakes, and you're done! Now you've made yourself some delicious raw candy. Enjoy!

Hello!

Hello! I am soooo glad I did this! I'll be working on projects and telling you step by step what I did, but I'm not really the type of person who sticks to their schedule a lot, so I'll probably have periods of time when I'm not writing. Hope this works out, but only time can say! Thanks <3
