I have picked the following five widgets to add to my site.  Email, tag cloud, blog stats, archives, and all pages widgets.  The email widget was needed because I don’t use any forms of social media so if anyone wants to contact me, email would be the best way.  I added the tag cloud because I am tagging my pictures and projects, so the tag cloud will let me know what words or phrases I have been using most.  The blog stats will help me keep track of the number of visitors to my site.  I do plan on continuing this site for the long term so the archive widget will be useful in the future to look at my blog posts for a specific time frame.  And finally, I added the all pages widget because I like to have the ability to quickly click on any page at the bottom as well as the top of any page.

In the last week I have built most of the toy chest for my nephew.  I have posted many pictures of the build process.  I will be finishing it this weekend and posting the final steps in blog posts.  I will also be adding the final pictures to the project page.
