What I've been up to!

Image
Hey! How are you? I am good and have been keeping busy and safe! So I just thought I'd let you know what I’ve been up to! For starters I’ve started a bullet journal! I have been debating it for a while, and finally decided to just do it. The theme I used for May was colourful flowers! Inspired by Amanda RachLee’s bullet journal setups! I have a habit tracker with things like Journal, Vitamins, and Reading! I also have a Mood Tracker, so each day I colour in a flower with a colour from the mood chart, red is the saddest and yellow is the happiest! There is also a weekly spread in which each morning I write down what I want to get done that day! Overall I highly recommend starting one, it’s the perfect way to add creativity to your planning! I have also been working on my felting business. I was originally planning on opening an Etsy store. This time last year I was getting ready for my first ever craft sale. But because of Covid 19, this year it was cancelled. So I thought to ...

Ways to get into the spring spirit

Image
Spring is one of my favorite times! I love to open my window for the first time since September, and watching the sun come out earlier and going down later. But currently, we're all stuck inside, so most of the spring things we're used to doing like going for long walks in the sunshine with our friends, or celebrating Easter with our family, we are unable to do. So this list will hopefully get you into the spirit of spring! 1. Do Some Baking From cookies to cakes baking is one of my favorite ways to get into the spring spirit. You can make some sugar cookies and decorate them with pastel icing, or bake a lemon or carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and decorate them with eggies my favorite Easter treat! 2. Craft This one is super fun! You can felt or knit. Last year my mom and I found a pattern to knit little egg decorations, it was so cute! If you have styrofoam eggs you can felt on them with pretty egg designs, you could also actually dye some eggs and put them...

11 things to do when your under quarantine

Hey guys! So I know that there’s a sickness going round that has caused a-lot of people staying home in their house. I just came back from vacation so me and my family have to stay under quarantine for 2 weeks. So I thought I would put together a list for you guys with things to do under quarantine! 1. STRETCH OR EXERCISE  You know that video on YouTube in your “watch later” about getting the splits? Well, it’s time to put it to use, when's a better time then when you are stuck at home doing nothing? But of course, if you are feeling sick maybe lay off the hard work and try this next one. 2. DO A PUZZLE  Dust off that old puzzle that’s been laying on your coffee table for a year unopened and put aside that excuse of “There’s probably pieces missing” and put it all together! 3.LISTEN TO A PODCAST OR AN AUDIOBOOK  I love listening to podcasts like, “Dear Hank And John” and audiobooks, like “Harry Potter” or “Anne Of Green Gables” it’s like reading a book witho...

Candy cane bark!

Image
 So today my mom, brother and I started making some of our favorite Christmas bark, for a Christmas cookie swap! The first part of our tradition is digging out the ripped out page of a magazine labeled 2003 LCBO Food and Drink magazine https://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/recipe/peppermint-bark/200306040#.XfKqfdVKFz8 , from our Christmas box deep in the basement! After that, we began weighing and measuring the dark chocolate! Then after it's melted in a double boiler drop some peppermint oil in, then spread it out on a tray, leave it out in the freezing front porch to freeze in -20. Then after an hour we took it in and melted the white chocolate added peppermint then spread it over top, added crushed candy cane let it freeze then voila! I love this colorful chocolaty sweet, and making it with my family is all the sweeter!!!
