love lvndr...

hellooo!

heres a blog post about some CUTE rings i got from lvndr, who i discovered on Facebook.

i had a look at their shop, which has lots of cute goodies at amazing prices, and knew i had to snap up some of their rings...

they came in a sweet little lvndr coloured bag, with a little lvndr MiniCard, cute!

 here are the  rings i got, firstly, i got this adjustable 'Stardrop' ring, made with a real piece of Quartz, in Pink, priced at just £4.29, which you can buy here: http://www.lvndr.co.uk/shop/4580274098/Stardrop-Ring/8148507 and a cute little gold anchor ring, priced at just £3.59! which you can buy here: http://www.lvndr.co.uk/shop/4580274098/Anchor-Ring/7920843 

 here are the rings on one of my little trinket boxes, which is where they will live from now on, i like to keep the rings i buy together or that are similar [see the blurry 'collection' of chunky stone rings in the background] together!

i love 'We Love To Create'...

hello there, heres a little blog post about the very lovely 'We Love To Create', who i first came to know on Facebook. They make/sell everything from personalised dog tags to phone cases.

They were hosting a market night via Facebook recently, and also posted offers and discounts on selected products during the night, and when i tried to order a CUTE dog tag for my Charlie using a discount code, it didnt work. i was gutted, but then i was lucky enough to WIN a £10 voucher to spend on ANYTHING in their shops! how good is that!?

I had a peek at the items in their etsy shops and chose to order the dog tag id originally tried to order for my dog Charlie, an amazing sugar skull luggage tag and two packs of comic book badges. awesome. here are my goodies:

cute packaging :)

 Charlies printed dog tag, so adorable!

"Avon Calling"

hello all.

heres a blog post about my 'haul' from Avon. my mam is an Avon Lady [representative, lol] so we get special offers/discounts etc and, well, its always good to get a bargain, right?

heres what i got:

a CUUUTE hello kitty 'pisces' pendant, some sweet little anchor nail decals [which im probably gona mostly use with my resin, ooh] a lipstick and a perfume purse spray. 

 here are the awesome little nail stickers, theyre gona look SO GOOD as a background on a resin piece with a big anchor in it, OOOH, i cant wait to use them!

 the lipstick is part of Avons 'Colour Trend' range and ive got a few different colours from the range already. this colour is called 'bubblegum pout' and its such a lovely pink, practically the same as my own lips, but a bit darker. it smells like vanilla, which is so much nicer than the usual waxy lipstick smell! and the 'Secret Fantasy Kiss' purse spray smells so nice and will be great to keep in my bag for a freshen up!

the hello kitty pendant comes in a black Avon cardboard box with a branded hello kitty box sleeve, like this:

the pendant will be a great addition to my hello kitty collection and im gona wear it tomorrow, YEY.

do you have any Avon goodies?

ich liebe das Avon.

"Got any Resin?"

thats a quote from 'Waterworld' there, its an epic film.

anyway, heres a post about some of the bits ive made so far with mah resin, i had wanted some for ages, so i finally got some for christmas, and couldnt wait to use it! oh yes!

here are the first EVER bits i made, in their moulds/CASES

 and here are the pieces, out of their moulds/cases, along with a piece i just 'glazed/domed' the top of [hello kitty!]

it did take a few 'gos' at the resin to get used to using it and how long to leave each layer etc, but i think i did ok with the third 'batch' of stuff i made, which included this pretty 'WholeNewWorld' princess Jasmine piece:

 i also made this pretty pink 'SkullCandy' piece:

 here are the 'UndertheSea" and "YoureaStar" pieces, showing the first layers in their cases:

and here is the finished "UnderTheSea" piece, with added wooden beads as pebbles/sand and blue glitter! and it might just be my fave Disney piece so far...

 i also LOVE the red glitter and letter beads in this star piece:

heres a quirky ring i made using teeny little stars, encased within a big star, with some glitter too of course!

 this is one of the latest skull pieces ive made, called "BlueMonday". ive added some blue 'gems' to the front of it and i really like it:

you can buy most of these resin pretties in my SHOPS [links below] so go and have a peek, yeah!?

ill keep you updated on more of my resin pieces as i make them, and i hope you liked this post!
