The brand NEW : Book Corner !!!

Greetings dear all!!!

   Today i am excited to launch a new post category. It's name will be ''Book Corner'' and will deal with everything related to books. Book hauls, books i'm currently reading, book reviews and specials to book authors. Note that Book Corner will be related to Thursdays as Movies of the Week are related to Sundays.

   To begin this week's Book Corner i decided to post a haul of books that i borrowed from my local library.

   If you remember from this post , i stated that i plan on reading old childhood memories books. For that reason i am on mission to rent as much books, if not all of them, from my local lending  library.

Here follows the first group of books that i borrowed :




I borrowed 3 Goosebumps and one book from the series ''The three investigators''. I think it is the first in the series.

Up close



The titles are :

Goosebumps N2 : Stay Out of the Basement
Goosebumps N10 : The Ghost Next Door
Goosebumps N15 : You Can't Scare Me!
Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators in : The Secret of Terror Castle


   And now a little bit on my opinion about the books. If i had to put the three Goosebumps in an order according to their rate of fright, i would have to pick firstly  ''Stay Out of the Basement'', secondly ''The Ghost Next Door'' and last the title ''You Can't Scare Me!''
   As long as the Three Investigators is reffered i didn't have the chance to finish it yet ......... I know know, lazy me.


A little bonus, i thought i'd show you my bookies.

For the titles of Goosebumps i used a small one and for the Three Investigators a longer one.



Hehe. How do you thing of them? They are both advertising cards from the stands of the Essence make-up brand, that usually come with the new limited edition products.
The one on the left was from the Disney's Oz The Great And Powerful collection and the other from the Breaking Dawn collection.
I happen to have picked up the Disney's Oz The Great And Powerful advertising card when i was in Germany so the text written on it is in German.

See for yourselves





   That was all for now.
   So how did you like my new post category? Are you excited for new book posts to come? I sure am.


Till the next time loved ones,
Kisses and my paws

Do it yourself : Notebook marker

Greetings dear all!!!

   Today i have a slight different post for you than the previous times.

   Recently i bought myself a new notebook as i cannot live without one and the last one i owned, did its time. But i noticed that it lacked a notebook marker and if only it had one i would make its use easier. So i decided to make one myself :D

Here are the siiiiiiiiiiiiimple steps :



1. Take some ribbons




I keep this plastic container so as to store in it small ribbons and spare buttons. But not any random ribbons or buttons. The ribbons are from new bought blouses, you know those little strings of fabric that they use in order to keep the clothes on their hangers, and the buttons are those that some times come with the clothes in little plastic cases or stitched on them, in order to use then as a replacement if you loose the button of the garment.
I never had the heart to throw away those ribbons, i also thought that they may come of use and now was that time!

Also the plastic jar is from a body butter from Body Shop in the scent Moroccan Rose. I am pretty sure they have discontinued it but still have out a different scent based on roses.
The packaging was just too cute to throw away, so i kept it.


2. Choose your favorite




Here you can see my notebook and the ribbons i firstly sorted out, and my last two finalists. Woo hoo!!!!


3. Glue it on!





You can use a mini super glue or the regular ''UHU''


4. Cut off any excess ribbon




5. And here you have it! The finished product!




Hehe, i hoped you liked the debut of my hand :P



That was all loved ones, hope you enjoyed. I'll talk to you soon.


Kisses!!!
