New news!

Lots has been happening since I last spoke to you all! The giveaway is CLOSED (sad face) and there will be a new one in a couple of days for those who missed out. Not sure what the prize is yet but I've kept to the promise of a monthly giveaway :)
And the winner of the handmade ring giveaway is...
(Drum roll)

Suki from The Owl Club! We've kept in touch and we're both really excited about it!
 Congratulations! :) xx

Also, I've had many troubles with my readers trying to follow me because I haven't got any way for them to follow me, so I've added the Google Friend Connect widget on the right hand side bar. If you were an original follower you'll have to re-follow instead, but new followers don't need to worry.
In other news...
I'm taking part in the Cheshire Book Awards and I've read 1/7 books so far: The Bonehill Curse by Jon Mayhew. Will be posting a review on that shortly.
My twitter account was temporarily hacked :O but it's all fixed now!
I've been trying out this and if you scroll down you'll see the tutorials. They're really fun to do!
And....

To cheer up your first week back after half term (if you had half term off) I've collected some cute pictures for you to gaze you tired eyes upon :)

 

Have a happy weekend! :)

Maxine and Percy update

You probably haven't heard off Maxine Amelius or even Percy Ernest Roger recently, but they've been up to quite a bit so I don't know why I haven't updated sooner.

 So, Maxine Amelius has been asleep for about 48 hours and hasn't woken up for food. However, despite our concern we want her to lose a bit of weight seeing as she nearly landed herself a place in the Daily Mail for her obesity.

Also, upon finding Photo Booth on my iPad, I amused myself with taking X-ray effect pictures of Percy (he's a white cat but the effect turned him black)....

 Using the Snapseed app to create a vintage version of Percy pusscat....

 ....and amusing myself with the twirl, stretch and squeeze effects on Photobooth that I practised on Max. Cute times.

 *ahem* so anyway....what have you guys been up to? Do tell me in 'comments below. Bye for now!

Book review: The Guerilla Art Kit

Keri Smith is the author of many mind-opening books including Wreck This Journal and This is Not a Book, and I've enjoyed all three so far. Please check out her website here for her blog.
The Guerilla Art Kit teaches you the legal ways to making good street art without spray paint and includes unique ways such as gardening in cracks of pavements, hanging origami from trees, putting googly eyes on mailboxes and even a portable idea dispenser which I'm currently trying out.
Keri gives you her insight and opinions of some of the street art she carries out and she also gives you challenges at the end of the book like, "Document the passing of time" and "Transform garbage", giving you a chance to use your imagination to the fullest and make the most out of this book.

Introducing...Fat Cat!

Inspired by a special someone, I created a little fat cat cartoon named Fat Cat (imaginative..).

 Can you see the resemblance? :)

Any ideas for what I should do with Fat Cat? Leave comments below!
