1st BLOGIVERSARY + FREE GIFT!

I have been blogging for 1 year today! I'm pretty impressed about that!

How exciting!

sooooo mooch on over to my shop :) 

Peppy has gone mad with excitement.

bringing my etsy back to life

After a busy few years and not much etsy-ing, I have started to bring my etsy shop to life. Got a few cards in there if any one would like one or two or more (please). hehe. 

Anyway, I would plug it too much on here, coz that doesnt mke very good reading.

buuuuttt while im here: MY ETSY!

Also... going on holiday next week! Veeeeeeery excited!

Busy

I've been keeping myself busy today by making some new cards. 

The first one I made a few days ago for a friends birthday. You don't see enough racoons on birthday cards!

Tough Times

Having a bit of a tough time at the moment. Nothing major, just little things. Probably normal for someone who has just finished uni and job searching.

To remedy this I am planning on going on holiday with my mum and dad in a couple of weeks to Menorca. I'm very excited about this! Sitting on a beach and swimming everyday! although I do live by the sea... the warmth will be nice! and to spend some time with my parents, as I do miss them alot. 

Will be taking my sketchbook and my camera to get lots of holiday inspired illustration ideas. So will hopefully come back feeling refreshed and full of ideas.

Can not wait!

Also! Just realised I will have been blogging for a year on thursday next week.I am quite proud of this.

Facebook Fan Page

I have set up a facebook fan page for my illustration! 

Have a look and join here!

New Character

A while ago I created a new character for a childrens book illustration competition. Sadly my style wasnt for them, but I now have a brand new character to share with you. 

I'm thinking of writing a new story for him but for now he will be appearing on new greetings cards and things

I dont have a name for him at the moment because I have had to change it since the competition. 

Anyway, here he is! 

 He is a cheeky chappy!
