Well well how nice for all of us to have free time now. One of the things that matter the most is not the amount of free time that you have, is what you do with it. I found that having a routine helps me a lot. I limit my time spent on social media or scrolling through my phone and I consciously make a commitment everyday to make something useful. Reading, drawing, researching, alone time with myself analysing stuff from my life. And a bit of daydreaming about log cabins hahaha. That's just a lil' thing of mine.
I remember one thing that I really enjoyed doing. And if you have paper and a blender you can try it too. Yup, I blended used paper with water and lavender seeds and I got myself some handmade recycled eco paper.
Damn I was so proud of myself. The smell of lavender mixed with water and paper scraps.... Amazing. I also put some calendula and some herbal tea plants in order to give some colour.
I used a tea sifter, turned it upside down and dived into that pot with delicious mixture. I pressed the mixed paper on the sifter with my fingers and turned it on the paper towel. Left it for 2 days to dry. You can speed up the process with a hairdryer. Like I did:)) I was too excited and couldn't wait 2 days lol
Once I had my eco paper done and dried I wondered what could I possibly do with it. So... I figured to make some march trinkets. But I think you could do anything on this paper. Write a love note, put a bunny for easter or a Santa for Christmas. Anything, imagination has no limits.
So I was thinking that we throw paper quite often, wouldn't be amazing to actually make something nice for our loved ones and reduce paper waste? Give it a go you will be so happy once you're done, believe me.
Have an awesome day and toodle loo!

P. S. I have found through my phone a photo from last year, same day as today. Funny thing then I was out, now I am in, both of the times enjoying time being again single. 2 Easters on row, year after year and bonus a quarantine. Life is just peachy when you decide you want only the best for yourself and your future imaginary offsprings馃槀馃槑
