    I just want to congratulate you and thank you for your blog to share it with others, there is much creativity and style. I do not write English very well apologize for typos. thanks

    Thank you! Hividay…your english is great so no worries! x

  4. I did most of the musical instruments presented on your site: the rice shakers, the guitar and the tubular cardboard bells and we loved them. My daughter played with the guitar a long time until all the rubber bands snapped. Great ideas, I’ll keep on reading you. Here’s how they turned out (not as pretty as yours, but definitely, as entertaining): http://laurafrunza.com/2011/03/31/instrumente-muzicale-din-reciclaje/
