Volunteering at “Kartu Tikrai Galime”

BECOMING A ROCKSTAR
Haha just kidding (I'm not joking, I will be a rockstar one day, mark my words). Anyway, another month of guitar.

Baking dog biscuits for an animal shelter.
I wanted to bake dog biscuits for an animal shelter. I wanted to do it, so I did it. It was really easy to make, since I bake things in my free time. I made about 60 сookies, but I had to study what ingredients I can add so it wouldn't cause any problems for … Continue reading Baking dog biscuits for an animal shelter.
Making and putting up a few birdhouses near my house.
This was planned for October, but I forgot to do it that month, so I planned to do it this month. I asked my dad to help me, because he knows his way around tools and making things from scratch, while I'm absolutely terrible at it. We both spent some time making three birdhouses from … Continue reading Making and putting up a few birdhouses near my house.
