wind-up paper butterflies are my fave (guest post from amelia) I had a baby so I’ve invited some fave guests to take over for me while I spend time with the little guy. Today’s post is from super crafter and cute mom, Amelia of The Homebook. Growing up, I had an aunt who lived in Canada. I made my butterflies into Monarchs, but you could use different materials to create any sort of colorful butterfly. Materials: You’ll need heavy cardstock, 24 gauge wire, silicone rubber bands (I found mine in the hair aisle at Walgreens) needle-nose pliers, scissors, tape, a paintbrush, a black marker, and a white ink pen. Step 1: Measure and cut your wire. Step 2: Find the center of the longer wire. Step 5: Find the center of the shorter wire, and wrap it around the base of the paintbrush. Step 8: Draw the shape of your wings and cut them out. Step 11: Tape each wing to the body of the butterfly. Thanks for the chance to finally figure out how these darned things are made, Melanie!

- StumbleUpon Why We Like Girls The truth is out there. They will always smell good even if its just shampoo. The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder. How cute they look when they sleep. The ease in which they fit into our arms. The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world. Adulting | Step 255: If you must break up with someone, be decent about it This is a fine, fine needle to thread. Suggesting that you can avoid hurting someone you care about during a breakup is like suggesting that a limb can be amputated without the patient ever noticing. But while you can’t spare someone pain that comes from a breakup, you can minimize that pain. Here are some general dos and don’ts: Do: • Break up with someone within a week of finalizing your decision. • Be direct, but don’t give reasons unless it is something super concrete that might help them in their next relationship. • Say it in a way that doesn’t allow room for argument, or begging. Don’ts: • Break up in a public-public place. • Don’t use weasel words. • Don’t call/text him or her, for at least a month or so. • Don’t shit-talk afterward. Any I’m missing?
