    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

    • Val #

      Dear, you have no typos and do write in English very well. No need to apologize.

  2. Just discovered your website. Great, great ideas and projects. Congratulations.

  3. Kate #

    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/

  76. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start
    my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
    completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to
    ask!

  77. Cuc #

    Congratulation and thanks again!

  80. Only a talented person can do that. Great Work!
