All Hallows Eve

Hi all,

I'm not sure what to put in this post. I just feel like I should make a Halloween post because it's one of my favorite times of the year! I love spooky things.

Unfortunately I don't have much planned for this Halloween :( however I am making a Halloween cake (which I will post on here) and watching Nightmare on Elm Street at the cinema. The original by the way!

I found this picture on Google images. (Sorry, not sure who made it :/) 

This is the second pumpkin I carved :) This one has Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas :D. 

Enjoy halloween everyone and stay safe! 

Watch out for freddy in your dreams!

A Charmed Realm Indeed

HELLO!

Take your minds back to July this year. I discovered on Facebook I believe that Paul Kidby was doing a kickstarter project. This interested me as I have been a fan ever since I saw 'The Art Of Discworld' in high school. I believe it was 'The Wee Free Men' book by Terry Prachett was the first time I had seen discworld art and it really helped me to imagine what the wee free men looked like, even though Terry Prachett's description was amazing. lol!

'The Art of Discworld'

'The Wee Free Men' By Terry Prachett

Anywho back to July and the Kickstarter! I went to kickstarter to peruse what he had to offer and discovered it was an art book! OMG I was so excited! He wanted to make a book he had published in french already, as an english book. All I could say was TAKE MY MONEY! I decided to give £20 as this got me a copy of the book, a bookmark and a personalised card :) (with these projects, you get rewards/prizes for the amount you give) This was enough for me :D.

As the project went on he surpassed his pledge by over £20.000, so he started to add things onto the rewards. Along with the book, bookmark and card, I was also going to receive a folio of prints! I was even more excited! They were bloody beautiful!

I;m gonna put up some pics of his work just so you can appreciate his awesome :D

The Great A'tuin <3

He also painted this on a 5x4 ft canvas (see below)

Anyway here is what I received. 

Isn't beautiful?!

I Love it all!

I hope you enjoyed my post and hope you enjoy his art as much as me :)

First pumpkin of the year

Hi all,

So Halloween, I love this time of year, Autumn is just setting in. The nights are darker quicker, the bitter taste of frost and wind whip across your face wherever you go and the sweet temptation to eat everything that is warm and tastes like gingerbread. This is the time of year when all the Christmas stuff is in the shops, calling to you to buy them, the lonely poor decorations yearning to be free and hung up for Christmas spirit. But don't be fooled it is not Christmas yet! They will have to stay in the shop won't they!

ENOUGH ABOUT CHRISTMAS! This is about Halloween. So I carved my first pumpkin last night. Many designs flew through my mind as I  cut open the top of its head and ripped out the poor things insides. But I couldn't settle on an idea. I like to give pumpkins faces so they can be my friends................Pretend you didn't read that............I don't make friends with my pumpkins.............oh dear dear pumpkin. (I haven't named him yet)

Anyway to the pumpkin shenanigans...I drew a lovely design of a castle and a face popping into shot, however the pumpkin was far too small for my epic design, It's a little pumpkin you see, and because pen doesn't rub off a pumpkins skin I merely turned over the pumpkin so no one could see my mistake :P.

Ok so, I started to carve my pumpkin, everything was going well. I carved the eyes, putting to my own eyes and shouting "They took my eyes!", and began the mouth shaped hole. However.....this is a big however however. (lol that wasn't a mistake, I meant 2 howevers there<<) I cut off the 'fangs'. SHIT. It's ok, I will make the mouth bigger......SHIT I did it again!! He now has one fang.....The pumpkin is always a man!

To get through this I wept a little. Then came up the genius idea to use a mechanical pencil lead to attach the missing fang.....I AM A GENIUS!!

The face is finished and looking FABULOUS! So I decide to two tone this mother. I create a moon like circle around his head, craters and all. Except it doesn't look like  moon......oh well xD

So you wanna this this glamorous pumpkin huh? I know you do because it is amaze balls. It is the most sophisticated, stylish and excited pumpkin you will ever see!!

Well here it is.....Get ready.....(even through you have probably already had a glimpse) BOOM!!

 TA DAH

AWWWW HE LOOKS SO HAPPY :D

I LOVE IT 

Let me know what y'all think :D Please with Christmas bells on ;)

BzzAgent Review: Tesco Finest Ecuadorian Chocolate

Hi all,

Today I received a lovely little package from BzzAgent. Inside held a very nice suprise, some tesco finest chocolate.

I received 2 different chocolate bars, a 32% milk chocolate and a 72% dark chocolate.

I will admit, I wasn't looking forward to the dark chocolate because I'm not too keen on this chocolate anyway.

Ok, so time to try these wonders. Me and my sister decide to try the dark chocy first.

Here it is in full glory :) 

I liked the packaging for this product. It's easy to reseal to save the chocolate for another time :). So this chocolate.....well it didn't really suit my taste, it was very bitter. Although I could taste the 'notes of green tea' which it claims to have on the outside package. I wouldn't buy this again plainly because dark chocolate isn't for me. My sisters opinion was that it was nice but too bitter and too dark for her. 

Next was the milk chocy :D 

Close up shot :D 

Now this one was yummy! Again I really liked the packaging and there was a lot of information on the chocolate on both bars. The taste of this bar was much better for me, it was very milky and creamy which is my fave :D Also like the dark, the milk bar claimed it had 'rich toffee notes' which was definitely accurate. I really did enjoy this one :D. My sisters opinion was that it was a lovely blend of milk chocolate and enjoyed the toffee notes.

So overall, the milk for me was much better but I suppose that depends on what your taste is. Some may prefer the dark bar. I would definitely recommend this chocolate to people, whichever taste they prefer. 

The RRP for these are £1.50 each. OR if you want to pop to tesco before 5th Nov you can purchase them 2 for £2. (offer found online so not sure if instore too)

Hope you enjoyed and I hope you try these for yourself :)
