Day 22

Hey hey hey! Page Turner here, back for day number 22 in my countdown to Valentine's Day! I love the sweet tradition of gift giving
to the special person in your life. Here's some fun things I found!
     Okay, so if you go to www.buzzfeed.com and look for 40 DIY
valentine gifts, you can find really cute crafts just like this romantic tic tac box. I love the other crafts: get a Coco Cola box filled with coke and decorated  with stiff red paper and hearts. Fill candy up in vintage muslin bags, make coasters out of round wood slices with you and your sweethearts initials on them, or give them a jar of lemon drops that says 'Pucker Up.". Create valentine-inspired marshmallow pops, or Sharpie decorated mugs that say "I love you a latte" and "You're my cup of tea." Also, sweet treats can't be beat. (especially if they contain chocolate. Any chocolate, just chocolate, please.) At www.allrecipes.com, you can find pastry 'love letters', a million heart-shaped cookies, a heart-shaped pizza covered in red pepperoni, and heart macaroons, plus decadent desserts like chocolate truffles, stuffed strawberries, and cheesecake. Throw in a ton of stuffed animal options, flowers, and actual valentines, and you've got millions of options for Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day celebrates love: both the love we have for others, and gift of love from God. God is what allows us to love others--and not just our friends or sweethearts, but our family and peers we don't always agree with. Remember, even if it's simple or seems annoying, it's still love just like a rose would smell as sweet by any other name. (Okay, so that analogy doesn't even fit, but you get the gist. I love flowers!) Anyway, have fun on Valentine's Day and I hope you can use these ideas I've gathered from other websites. P.S. if anyone I know is reading this I really like chocolate. Just a hint! I hope you guys have a great day!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...

The Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...

Marvel Movies Review

Alrighty, a movie review! It's been a while, but I love doing these...      Okay, so I've recently watched the Avengers, Avengers 2, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man. (Do you see a pattern?) Here's the rundown: Avengers is really good. It's got violence, and some language, but a lot of funny dialogue, heroic deeds, and suspense, plus a good ol' superhero/modern-end-of-world feel to it. Thor's brother, Loki, teams up with an alien-robot race to take over the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. must contact Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and eventually Hawk Eye to save the day. The problem? They don't get along well. In fact, mayhem and dissension could appropriately describe this band of strange heroes with tons of emotional baggage. The team must learn to work together, or the world will suffer the consequences. Avengers 2 is once again riddled with violence and some language, but again has the same redeeming qualities. Hydra springs up once more...
