It's my birthday!!!

Hello,

Yes, today is officially my Birthday! :D I have had a fabulous day with my lovely family :-)

 

My Dad as usual amazed me with the birthday cake he made for me- it was so lovely to look at and to eat! (though my eyes were too big for my belly and I ate a bit too much :P)

 

Here it is in all its lovely leopard print and cute little mouse/bunny glory :D:

 

 

Isn't he adorable :3

 

Also as usual I was blown away by my family's generosity and thoughtfulness in the presents they got me because having them is a gift enough- and all the lovely stuff they got me ready for uni too- I seriously thought I might wake up and have stuff taken off me instead of getting more gifts as it seems like I have had more than my lot already!

 

Here are some pictures of my wonderful gifts- Thank you to all my lovely family and friends for all of them:

 

 

I am soo excited about reading all of these books :) I have already gained inspiration for my Halloween costume from the fashion book my friend got me :P

 

Hehe, two Kawaii fuzzy Llamas and a fluffy jacket to match- what more could a girl ask for? ;)

 

My mum got me the two little craft kits and my wonderful, lovely, brilliant brother got me the Hamtaro Bijou plush (he also got me a very cool Domo poster which I will post a picture of when it is up and the words he wrote inside my card he made for me were so lovely that they made me cry! And on top of all of that he offered to buy me a film and a Mcflurry- because I love them so much!)

 

I can now top up my chocolate stash thanks to my friends and dad (my friends also got me a pretty picture frame with a picture in it of all of us at my Halloween party dressed up- haha, it is coming to uni with to make me smile each day)

 

Some lunchboxes and luxurious bath stuff courtesy of my dad, I love the cat lunchbox as it reminds me of the Lucky Chinese cats!

 

And last but by far not least some cool Dvds and Cds. I have been wanting to watch the films for ages- mainly for all the amazing costumes in them and who doesn't love a bit of Andre Rieu? :P

 

Thank you again to my family and friends as my day would not have been so  special without you to share it with xxx

 

Hahaha, I hope all of you have had a wonderful day as well, see you all soon with more Innocent hat knitting news!

 

See you all soon,

 

Bye xxx 

Another ATC (and a fluffy friend!)

Hi!
  
Yesterday I finished off the ATC I have been making for my dad out of the fishing boat Mouseloft kit I finished about 2 weeks ago, I added the little message '... beside the sea' to remind my dad of strolling along the beach in the Isle of Wight watching the big ships go by :):

It was fun to use more of the papers I got ages ago, I found a few different blue ones and used them to make the different wave bits at the bottom. The very last thing I am waiting for is my ATC stamp I ordered from Crafters Companion so I can stamp the back :D I'm hoping that will come tomorrow! I hope my dad likes his ATC when I finally give it to him :-)

In completely un-crafty related news the Gremlins Gizmo I bought myself (after I ordered my stamp, hehehe I had a bit of a shopping spree and I bought another Domo too) arrived the other day :D I couldn't help sharing a picture he was just tooo cute! :3

Awww I love him <3 He hums his little tune and sways when you clap your hands, even more adorable! Me and my family watched Gremlins 2 ( I watched Gremlins 1 a few years ago and forgot how much I loved it) about two Saturdays ago and I thought It was great so I had to get my own Gizmo :) Hehehe, I am cuddling him now :P

I am off now to knit a few more rows on my Bolero (I still have my fingers crossed my idea will work out!)

See you all soon,

Bye! xxxxx
