Ideas For DIY
Lego has brought out some amazing new designs in the past year and this Lego bouquet is perfect! Okay, I know my post says MOM lego, but of course I do not need to tell you that this lego is actually for Anyone. I am so excited, during lockdown I tried my hands at puzzles but found it boring and of course FLAT. But helping my son with his Star wars lego was boring too. It really did not appeal to me in any way. I am totally in love with this though! Would make a wonderful Mother’s day gift too!
