Merry Christmas!!

Hi all,

And a very Merry Christmas to you all!!

I hope you are having a very pleasant day but do try to think of the people who don't get a Christmas before your mind is full of bliss and you belly is full of Turkey! :) 

I am so excited about one of my presents I couldn't wait to share with you! 

A Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ :D can't wait to look at the stars!! 

Have a great Christmas.

My Geekbox December

Hi all, 

Time to see what is inside the last Geekbox of 2014 :). This month's theme is Geekmas, an intriguing title. 

I filmed a YouTube video of the unboxing here, so check that out! 

 

First up, is this cute Star Wars bauble :) this went on my tree almost immediately. 

Here is the cookie from inside the bauble. 

I absolutely love the T-shirt this month! I believe it is Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas but candy skull/day of the dead style. Its awesome. 

Also got a Transformers stress ball of Optimus Prime. Very cool, dont have a need for stress balls but will still look cool on my desk :). 

A Pacman bottle opener as you can see from the pic xD Can't wait to use this :D.

This was maybe one of my favourite pieces! A Chewbacca keyring which talks. Ok, so he just groans (his normal noise) but it;s still awesome! 

Some pretty snazzy Death Star juggling balls. I have to admit, I can't juggle but I still had a go, check it out on my youtube video xD. 

Lastly, I got a little selection box :) I do love chocolate at Christmas. Thanks Geekbox! 

Also I wanted to show you my new Christmas jumper. I got this here, from BooHoo.com. 

Not a bad box this time. I have also subscribed to Loot Crate :) Check it out. That will hopefully turn up soon, so check back for whats inside :). It ships to the UK, it cost $29.95 a month. 

Well until next time,

Jane Austen Day

Hi all,

Indulge your imagination in every possible flight.” —Pride and Prejudice (1813)

On this wonderful day in 1775, 239 years ago, Jane Austen was born. In 1811, Sense and Sensibility was published. I will not list all of her books, but my favourite is her second book in 1813. Pride and Prejudice of course! (I must admit I haven't read any of her books. I know so shameful! but I do own them all, I just need to find the time to read them!)

"I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.” — Personal correspondence

I found this quote here and loved it immediately, check it out if you want to see more quotes or tips for a successful life.

I wanted to write a blog post just to celebrate her really. I have fell in love with how she writes her stories and how immediately I want to be there, experiencing it all with the characters, even the characters I dislike xD.

"There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time.” — Personal correspondence

If you are a fan of Jane Austen I highly recommend the Jane Austen gift shop, mentioned in a previous post.  It would be an idea to visit the Jane Austen Centre in Bath, visit the website for more info. I would love to go there :) they have an annual Festival and even a quiz to test yourself! lets go for it...uh oh I got 3/10....in my defence I only know 3 of her books. I have yet to even know the stories of Mansfield Park, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey...Really need to get on that....

The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!” —Sense and Sensibility (1811)

So True xD 

Just joined the Jane Austen community xD I'm way to cool for this blog!

Well I better ofskie pop, got things to do you know ;)

OH OH OH If you were wondering about my new blog look...and you know you were....It was lovingly designed by my friend Danielle from Underland to Wonderland. Check out her blog, for amazing photography and awesome adventures :).

Toodles for now xx
