I have a dear friend who has totally redone a whole craft room in IKEA furniture. It is a school room dream. I just wish I had the room for that room in my house. The nature study sheets look really neat. How sweet to give nature a valentine's present! I have some bird seed laying around here. I might have to try that too. Just not frozen we are in Florida so a pine cone w/ peanut butter might have to do. :^) Great blog!
