Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Your Bookworm

That time of the year is quickly approaching. Valentine's Day and it's various tricky gift steps and missteps.

There are so many options. Flowers, jewelry, candy, chocolate...


First up - Flowers
But wait... flowers die.  They wilt.  They turn brown and ugly.  So you can either buy a potted plant that needs watering or...

Get some paper flowers. Check out Pages Garden on Etsy-  Pages Garden 

I wouldn't mind having some of these for myself.  *wink wink, nudge nudge* Stemmed Book Page Flowers


Jewelry - well there's my own shop there - A Bookworm Creates

There's plenty of bookworm themed pieces and romantic quotes.  Necklaces.  Metal stamped cuff bracelets.  Book pages.  Metal stamped quotes.

Right now my favorite is the 18 inch Dracula Dracula Metal Stamped "Oceans of Time" Necklace
"I have crossed oceans of time to find you"metal stamped necklace

But there are plenty of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald,  and several other books currently in my stop so you can find the right, or favorite, book themed piece for your bookworm.


Stuffed Animals - Check out Fluffy Flowers for your vintage bears and handmade monsters.  Seriously, vintage Ewoks!  Bunnies!  Handmade monster!  Seriously, go check out that handmade monster.  It's cute and might be that gift you want to give your male significant other.


Bath Stuffs - 

Heart Shaped Soap
Sugar Scrub - in vanilla
Bath Bombs - in raspberry
Lotions


Candy

That's is one of those things that you don't realize that you can get on etsy!

Go ahead. Check out this shop's Chocolate Covered Oreos
Or these suckers - Valentine's Day Suckers

Unexpected Discoveries - Homemade Things from Fruit

Image
This weekend I went to a birthday party for a two year old.  His mother, one of my oldest friends - Shelia - has a little bit of a creative thumb.  Now, if you are handy with a knife you might want to take note.  The Theme: Luau Item #1 This might look like an ordinary pineapple...but you know I wouldn't be blogging about it if it was only an ordinary pineapple.  That's because inside this pineapple is a jar of dip.  It's simple.  Get a pineapple.  Cut off part of the pineapple leaving the leaves and about an inch, an inch and a half of pineapple.  And remove the insides.  Don't be wasteful.  Use the pineapple.  It's really good raw or grilled or in a fruit salad. Item #2 I shall call him Sharkie.  Why?  Because that's the first thing I thought of just right now.  He is a carved watermelon.  Obviously.  He also has some Swedish Fish as his food.  Or for the evil humans to eat. Once again, cut off part of the watermelon, this ti

Left-Handed Calligraphy - Getting Started

Image
A little intimidating... I'm not going to pretend to know what I'm doing.  The last time I picked up my mother's fountain pen was in the 6th grade and I'd signed up for Calligraphy Club. They didn't have a book club at that point. Photography didn't inspire me. But being able to shape letters and words into something pretty... that interested me. I was the only leftie in a group of six.  The teacher had no clue how to help me. And, admittedly, my middle school scrawl wasn't the best.  It was painstakingly correct and clear, but when I was allowed to form my own style things improved. ...Back to the present day... Pigma Brush Pen Set We've all seen the fancy lettering on Facebook, Instagram, and other places.  That just fascinates me. So much like other endeavers - the Morse Code bracelets for example - I've spent my time (and some limited resources) in an attempt to try my hand at lettering. My first set of brus

Making Paper Roses

Image
If you've been following my instagram and FB pages (ABookwormCreates for both - links on main page) you'll notice I'm going book page craft crazy. I mean besides the book page pendants that are a staple in the ABookwormCreates etsy shop. Currently punching out confetti (perfect for the remains of the pages punched out for pendants) (found in BookwormQuotes etsy shop) and creating paper roses (not yet listed anywhere) are my current addictions. See.  Aren't they pretty.  The colored ones are printer paper sprayed with Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain. I'd rather not continue practicing with book pages.  I lucked out with the Anne of Green Gables book page rose. So what do you need to make your own? A tutorial for starters.  There are so many on Pinterest for more than just roses.  You might want to look for one that has more than 4 roses behind her belt and I won't be insulted if you searching for one, but if you stick around I can add my b
