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!

Calling All Lego Lovers!

     Hi, Page Turner here. It's been a while. I suppose I just haven't had a lot to write about. :) There is, however, something important to write about today.      If you're a fan of Lego, science fiction, or just enjoy an awesome plane model, I have some really cool news. Take a look: This elegant Lego design is called the The U.S.S. Martin . It is a Lego set featuring two large engines in the rear (see figure 2) made from blue Lego parts.      Within this carrier lies hidden guns for defense when the crew is confronted from surly space pirates or other threats.      In the front (see figure 1) lies bulbous cockpit that, in emergency situations, transforms into an eject-able escape pod. The rear of the cargo carrier unfolds to form a ramp, where the happy crew is loading for flight.        The U.S.S. Martin  is covered with sleek maroon and grey paneling and dotted with vents for heat distr...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

Back Again

                Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope that everyone is having a great summer! One of the things that I am really excited about this summer is reading. With school and everything else going on, I haven't made time to read a book in a really, really long while. I feel like God gave us books, and that reading the right books can be a blessing in our lives. They can inspire us to be creative, teach us lessons, inspire us to love one another, and move our hearts to both a greater understanding and a greater love for our Savior. I feel like a few hours with a good book are a great use of time--and I plan to be doing just that this summer!       Over the next few months, I really hope to revisit some old books as well as some new ones. I know I can't read all of them, but I also hope to at least take a thoughtful review of some books that I feel God has used to impact my life. That's why I've made a non-definitive list of 15 F...
