Easy DIY Flower Bookmarks
Today I’m sharing how to make these cute DIY Flower Bookmarks. It’s a super quick and easy project that is great for kids and adults! I’m a bit old fashioned in that I love to have my hands on a book when I read it. I have tried reading eBooks on a tablet but it just isn’t the same.

I love animals but I’m not a big fan of rabbits at the moment. The damage they do to our garden, especially over summer, is very disheartening. I look forward to summer and being able to enjoy the garden … [Read More...]
