5 things for the weekend 22.5
scrapbooking, monster valentines, book giving day, and wordle
One of my goals for this year to to get back to memory keeping. Scrapbooking has been a passion for over 15 years now, and I honestly miss it. To jumpstart myself I am currently doing the Here: 5 Things class (ha!) with Liz Lamoreux. She sends a daily prompt for making a list of five things. It can be as simple or as involved as time permits. I gathered some of my (very old), most loved scrapbooking supplies, and I have worked on the prompt every evening so far this month. I am loving it, and am feeling the papercraft passion rekindle. If this is something that speaks to you, I think you can still join the class here.
Is there something you want to get back to doing this year?
5 Things
1. If you enjoyed the neurographic drawing last week, you might also like this video showing the process of drawing a magic spiral. Even if you don’t make your own, watching the process is very meditative.
2. Penguin Random House has just republished Toni Morrison’s only short story, Recitatif, as a stand alone novel with an introduction by Zadie Smith.
3. Have you jumped on the Wordle craze yet? You should! Things to know: it’s a one a day puzzle, and everyone gets the same word. You should also read this insightful article about its development.
4. On February 14th celebrate Book Giving Day with your friends, family and community.
5. Make a traditional Pate recipe from the US Virgin Islands.
