"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Today I am going to to write about two diys. The first one is for Harry Potter lovers.

Our wands
DIY Harry Potter wands
You will need:
A chopstick
Hot glue
Paint 
Gloss (optional) (I used Mod Podge)
  1. Apply hot glue to the lower part of the chopstick
  2. Paint it over
  3. Use Mod Podge if you want to. 
The one that I made is 10 inch ebony with a thestral tail hair core. Elisabeth's is 9 and a half inch vine wood with a dragon heartstring core.

This next one is to make custom soap.
Marble soap (it looks like a glacier)

Soap
You will need:
Glycerin Soap
Silicone mold
Soap coloring (if you want color)
Some thing microwavable
Knife (plastic is fine)
Some thing to mix with



  1. Melt some soap in something
  2. Add color is you want to 
  3. Pour it into the mold
  4. Wait for it to set (usually about 20 minutes)
    5. More soap
    I am especially proud of this geode that looks like amythyst
  5. Take it out and carve it
If you want to you can take already made soap and stick it into hot soap then let is set and it will look like a geode.

Thanks for reading!

    Wow! what great DIY ideas! Now I want to make some soap too. Too bad I threw away my special holly branch - I'll have to be on the lookout for a new branch for wand-making...

Vacation and Fasting

 Well I finally got my blog onto my  Google account. But, (there's always a but) no access to any settings! My verse today is one of my Sunday school verses. "The LORD will fight for you, you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14 Well, I found some books that I like!(I am extremely picky so this is very good) I am reading the Harry Potter series! I am in the middle of the fourth book. We went on a cruise this past weekend! It was my first cruise, my first time out of the country, plus I got to go with friends! It was soooo fun! I was a short cruise, only Thursday afternoon till Monday morning. We went to Cozumel, Mexico. It was so cool! It was my first time going to a beach with blue water and it was amazing! Of course, it can't all be perfect. James did not want to be in either family picture. I fell of the inflatable water park and salty water went gushing up my nose.(Luckily, I had a life jacket) Elisabeth got super motion sick after being in the waves a lot com...

Hi! It's me Abigail again. When I grow up I might be an author. I'm writing a book called Penelope's adventures at dragon valley. Here's a sneak peek at the first chapter.                                               Chapter 1 Penelope the unicorn loved to explore. One day she wanted to explore Dragon Valley.  Everybody feared Dragon valley. She asked, "Does whoever goes to Dragon Valley never come back?" Nobody knew. Penelope galloped out to Dragon Valley. At the same time in Dragon Valley a new born dragon was born. Now dragons grow up really fast. The newborn dragon was  named Judas. Penelope was sure Dragon Valley would be great,but it wasn't at all.  The place where the unicorns lived was magic, and Dragon Valley was terrible.  Unicorns had huge mansions, and each unicorn family got their own. Judas loved fighting with his most strange power:...

Here's how I made it. I'll post a picture and comment what you would name it!
