I only have one letter left to reply to! :D
There’s also one ‘on hold’ for complicated reasons…
Then I think it’s time to sort through all my FBs as well!

How I did it
It made me
sad to say goodbye 
How I did it: Well, I only really started writing in my diary regularly about halfway through. Before that I had only really written in it when something exciting happened. Unfortunately my life is slightly boring, so it was taking a while to fill up. When I started to write every day I found that I actually had a lot to say, and I really feel like I've learned a lot about myself from writing this journal. Read how I did it…
It made me
look crafty. 
How I did it: I first ate a load of starbursts, and got my sister to eat some for me too (although she had to pay for her own). Then I just sat down and did it. At first I used the tutorial but the steps are pretty easy to memorise. I used two colours in each bracelet, so there was one with purple and red wrappers, and one with orange and green.

I’ll try my best!

I finally added another chapter to my novel . Both novels, in fact. One’s serious but the other is just for fun, and the only real reason that I’m still writing it is that my friend wants to know what happens in the end.
