Owl Crate!

So I'm really sorry about the silence around here. It's been a busy week (my birthday, something called Christmas, I don't know...) so as you can assume, I've not been reading or writing a whole lot.

Today was too big of a deal to not post about though. I got my first box from Owl Crate!! (Referral link, if you decide to order through them, use my link, I'd appreciate it!) It's actually my first paid subscription box (I've gotten a few for free) so I was extra excited for this. A new book, a cute button, a whole bunch of good things.

If, by chance, you've ordered this month's and haven't gotten it yet (probably you live in Canada, because we seem to be getting it last!) then don't click through the pictures from my Instagram below. If you want to be spoiled, or just want to see what we all got, then feel free to click through! And yes, I know my pictures aren't the thing of glory and fame yet, I'm working on a space to make things more... pretty soon.

Working on a few things to make this place look a bit nicer too, but for now, I'm outta here.

Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Art challenges!

Art challenge #1...

So the prompt for this challenge was "castle"... I looked around, people did nice drawings of castles... So I did a crumbling castle with an empty moat. Everyone inside died I guess. Maybe eaten by a dragon. :P I am so depressing lol. #365doodleswithjohannafritz @byjohannafritz

Art challenge #2!

First doodle challenge thingy, whoo! "Haven", which IMO, is anywhere that is comfy, with a lot of books, a mug of /anything/, and a cat, always cats. :) #ascdoodledays @angeliquita

Instagram and art challenges!

As mentioned yesterday, I decided I need to start learning how to scribble again. I want to run a creative lounge, and haven't drawn or painted anything in ages. Pathetic! So, it's time to start up the old creative engines again!

I made my new Instagram account to match this place, makes sense. Nothing there yet, but I've decided to start doing two art challenges per day, starting tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Because. Reasons!

(No real reasons, I just am going to be doing them in my journal, and I'll have space then, ha!)

On the off chance you ("you who", I don't know, except I know you're all in America somewhere, hello, people!) want to join the challenges too, they're here, and here! Two different challenges by two wonderful ladies. :)

I figure I can handle two drawings a day. No masterpieces here, but who knows, maybe once I get the chance to paint again, these prompts might show up in paint form, outside of my journal, oh ho!

So, here we go, lots of lame scribbles, coming up!

Just this and that!

In the past couple of days, I've gotten two more new books to review! One that isn't officially released (nor will it be, until June!) so I feel extra excited about that one. Being ahead of the game is always exciting, isn't it?

I'm also joining a few drawing/scribble challenges. They (um, internet people?) seem to like to congregate on Instagram for these things, so I've had to create an Instagram account, since I forgot my old one. Yeah, I'm one of those weird ducks who doesn't do Instagram, ha!

Soon, I will be all over the internet. Every tiny corner. Every single one. Waiting, watching. Oooooo~! (For what? I don't know. Things. Internet things.)

I've also been learning more about how to blog correctly. Who knew there was a right and wrong way to do this sort of thing? Not changing my layout again, apart from adding the little Instagram logo on the toolbar, heh. But hopefully bringing more/better content.

Other topics of interest coming up in the near future:

• Camp NaNoWriMo starts up again on April 1st! I'll be doing at least one short story, maybe two, whoo hoo!
• I have an odd thing on my task list, #102 - Paint rocks + leave them places... Going to start collecting rocks for this, and giving it an actual "project" name. It's nice and cheesy, my husband rolled his eyes when I told him it. It'll be wonderful!
• More book reviews, obviously!
• Who knows what else. Magical things, maybe!
