How to Make: Old-Fashioned Valentine's

As we begin the month of February, here are five easy steps to making something special for your "Valentine"

Items needed: 

Old-fashioned heart shaped doilies
Valentine stickers and/or cut outs
A glue stick
Pair of sharp scissors 



Step 1: Take heart-shaped doilies and separate them individually. 


Step 2: Place desired Valentine stickers and cut outs nearby.


Step 3: Take your glue stick and rub against the larger doily. Then, take the smaller doily and stick it on top of the glued area. Once completed, place the combined doilies upside down to glue for 5 minutes.
 

Step 4: Rub your glue stick against your desired cut out or valentine sticker. 


Step 5: After the Valentine is dried, you can add a bow, write a small message on the back of the doily, add an attachment or simply leave it plain. 
 


Enjoy!

A Royal Love: Louis and Antoinette

Image
In honor of the last day in February, here is a short story of the love story between King Louis and Queen Marie Antoinette of France. Although this pair started off as two foreigners to each other, their bond would hold them together in the most grievous hour. Let us take a moment and learn of this royal love.              King Louis XVI by Joesph Duplessis and Queen Marie Antoinette by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun. On May 16, 1770, Dauphin Louis of France married  Archduchess Maria Antonia Josepha Joanna (Marie Antoinette) in the Royal Chapel of Versailles. On their wedding night, the adolescents went to bed together, yet their marriage was not consummated. It is reported that either the Louis and Antoinette did not know what to do, or decided to remain platonic spouses as they grew to personally know each other. For the next years, the pair learned their likes and dislikes as they were young adults in a foreign relationship. In 1774, Lou...

The Death of Marie Antoinette

Image
As my readers may know, I am an avid reader of history and studying European monarchies. Today marks a pinnacle event that has touched my heart for years. On this day, October 16, 1793, Queen Marie Antoinette of France was guillotined by French Revolutionaries. Her life has been one of intrigue, mystery, and a reputation in shreds. Many could read this and think, "she was just a Queen who died". That may be true, but her life was more than what a royal stereotype defines. For me, I have felt a connection to her life for a long time. I first read of Marie Antoinette at the age of twelve while studying royal queens. While reading, I will never forget seeing her portrait and the "scandals" of her life; alongside the debunked phrase "let them eat cake." After years of research through later school projects, I came to find the real Marie Antoinette: a woman who was steadfast in faith, charitable to her people and loved her husband and children. "Marie Ant...

Katie's Book Corner: Story of a Soul: The Life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Image
Years ago whilst I was becoming Catholic, a former tutor of mine sent me a book called "Story of a Soul: The Life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux". As I learned about the saints, I remember Saint Thérèse mainly due to her fascination with Saint Joan of Arc, of whom, the latter became my Patron Saint. The book was always on my list of something to read, but I guess Saint Thérèse wanted me to listen to her words more recently. The following will be my first entry into "Katie's Book Corner", a review of "Story of a Soul: The Life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux". In this immensely captivating autobiography, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux takes the reader on her life's path from a little girl with a big dream to a humble and selfless Carmelite nun. Throughout the autobiography, Saint Thérèse is open and honest about the struggles she went through including mental hardships, overcoming temptation, and defying those who did not believe her holy call to become a nun. B...
