Vampire for a night part 2

I won the book! Whoop whoop! So what do I get exactly? Well here is a refresher.

This book, which sounds like it will be amazing, signed by the author, July Kagawa.
 You can find the post that has the announcement here.
On another note I am supper excited about a new book that I read called enchanted by 

Alethea Kontis. It was magical and actually quite enchanting. It was a girl meats frog, girl kisses frog, frog turns into prince, and la tee da with a bit of a twist. Ok, a lot of a twist...but still. It was GREAT! Find more about it here.  I mean seriously, isn't this cover beautiful?  Have a great day everyone! Oh, and my dad want's me to tell you that he is now an award winning author. :)

Vampire for a Night

Julie Kagawa (Author of the Iron Fay series and the immortal rules series) is having a contest for a book signed by her. I was super excited. Can we say fun? Oh ya. I took the quiz to see what kind of vampire I am and it said that I am unregistered and that I survive by scavenging on the fringes. Thus, I went with it. We made it a bit urban decay-ie with a bit of polluted looking air kind of thing. My dad plays Fallout so that's more of what he was able to envision when I was explaining what I knew of the story. Unfortunately I haven't read the book...yet. I will once I can get my hands on one and once school is out and I cant become distracted with all the shiny new library books. Te-he.

this is my favorite and my main picture for the competition.
Like the tribal tattoo? The symbol in the middle might be familiar to you if you look closer at the book cover. 

We went down to the old abandoned rail station so that we could get that "urban decay" feel.

Look into my eyesssss! you will give me a prize..... (evil vampire chuckle) 

Fallout baby! Vampires could so rule that game! 

Well, that's the end, after three locations and many, many interesting looks from people, I think we came up with some terrific photos. Have a great week everyone.

Great news

Hey, so yes I have bean neglecting my blog, but with good reason. I have bean so busy and, well....I'm getting married in a little over a month. So...ya, lots to do. Here are some neat ideas that me and my cousin have bean looking up and conjuring up.

lemon aid and mint water in mason jars, but we are going to put them in a  big wooden fruit basket thing. We are going to have Orange blossom and rose water to flavor them.

paper cones to hold tossing flowers, and put these in a big wicker basket for people to pick up.

different types of bottles and containers/vases to hold flowers for the tables, by the guest book, etc. 

old picture frames with pictures of us, to use for the bridal shower also. 

different types of branches (willow, those curly things) to use with fabric on tables and the fence and other places that you would bunch and hang the fabric. 

the ceremony is going to be on the patio, so I want to do something like the front part to make the awning look pretty. 

the seating is going to be woodden benches that my grandpa made and strawbales with afghans on top. 

I have so many other ideas, but I'll post those later, maybe, if I have time. 

My favorite products for bath time.

I lovey lovey love their lavender bubble bath and bath salts. They make my skin and hair so clean and soft. Also after a hard and frustrating day in ceramics and then doing all the various hous things I do the salts make my tired bones feel gooood.

All organic ingredients, so yummy hibiscus, chamomile, rose, and rooibos. Soooo yummy.  

I listen to their radio on pandora. 

My nook. Comes in handy so much. 

That's really all I ever need. Maybe a little pastry if I have some, but it isn't necessary. 

Yesterday I found out that I don't have school today, tomorrow, or next Tuesday or Wednesday. I think I shall go to the park. Have a great day! 

My little girl, part two.

Yesterday I went to visit my little girl. She and her brothers were all asleep so I watched the older boys play together until they woke up. They are so soft and so sweet. When I was petting them they would poosh each other out of the way for petting rights. They love being pet behind their ears.
That's all for now, enjoy your day!

My little girl

Well, she did it. Licorice had her kids today! Don't know who Licorice is? Well, I'll fill you in. She is the darling goat that I milked for my goat milk lady while she was off hunting, and is one of the two goats that I get my milk from. Find the post from my milking days here. The first goat that Stacy (my goat milk lady) was wanting to give me was one of her other goats babies, but she ended up having 3 boys, all snowy white, and no girl. But, Licorice did have 2 boys, and.. wait for it....A GIRL! She was the smallest and most likely the last to come out (she still had some leftover..stuff on her that her mom left on her but not on the boys) The mom is black, but the babies are all white with some blondish, kida' light, light, light orange on them. The girl has a little brown/black streek going down her neck. I want to name her Dala, it means luminescence; brightness; light in Norwegian. She snuggled in my arms, and started to fall asleep. When I put her down and I petted her she would wiggle her little tail. I went to say hi to the other goats, the chickens, the horses and the mule. When I came back she came up to me and wiggled her little tail. Suffice to say, I am a severely ecstatic, and truly delighted "mother"

I'll try and post more pictures tomorrow.
