March Challenge?

Good evening, just a quick hello!
So, it's the last day of February tomorrow. Time really flies. Spring is in the air, the birds are singing all day long (and I'm almost singing too when riding my bike in the morning), my gloves are almost too hot to wear and there's much more light in my apartment. It's fantastic that I don't have to turn on the light in the middle of the afternoon anymore, I've been waiting for this for months.

I read about the march challenge at See Hear Say and I'm considering to take part in it. It could be fun and usually I like to stick to my routines, so it's definitely going to be a challenge. I'm now sure I can think of 31 things I can do different, but hopefully it will become easier as time goes by.
If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to inspire me!

Origami

The first week of the new semester I spent folding paper like crazy. We had to explore different origami patterns and how to make interesting shapes, which resulted in a desk filled with folded paper. Origami is not new to me, as a child I folded a lot of animals from the origami paper my mom brought home from Japan long before I was born. But when I ran out of paper, I didn't bother to get more, so it's been a long time since I've made any origami. But it was fun to do origami again, now I just need some pretty origami paper.

Apropos origami, these fun, colourful candles was to be found in my reader a few days ago. There's so many things I'd never knew of if it wasn't for blogs...
As a teen I collected candles in various colours and shapes and I think these would be a great addition to my collection. And it would look so pretty with a few origami boat candles floating in a bowl of water.
