Lots of Books and Buttons

My owner got some gift certificates and let me decide what to spend them on:


Books of course!

The Fear is the third book in a cool series that has zombies! Moth and Spark I picked out because I loved the cover, but it also sounded like a great Fantasy. The Bone Season I picked because I've read some very positive reviews about it. We also ordered a fourth book, but that will arrive in a few weeks.


Today there was mail:


A book, a bookmark and buttons from Ann Aguirre.
Voodoo Bride loved I Want It That Way, the first book in Ann's New Adult Romance trilogy, so she was very happy we got the second book for review as well. I really like the buttons, especially the Wreak Some Havoc button.

Thanks Ann!

Sudden Zombies and Beanie Mail

There was a zombie book in my mail today!
It was a surprise gift from aLmYbNeNr.
How cool!

And there was more mail from Beanie as well!

It was another beautiful card made by Beanie himself.

And it had a really cool button inside!

Thanks aLmYbNeNr and Beanie!
Those were some really cool surprises to find in my mail.

Cool Poster and Halloween Party

Look what I got in the mail today:
A really cool poster from The Heir of Night! I won it over at the blog of Helen Lowe, the author of the book.

And I also got an Orbit button!

Thanks Helen!!!

Tonight we're having a Halloween Party. Because of all the painting and stuff I didn't have time for making a costume, but there will be pumpkins and pumpkin soup.

Helping Out With Making Cool Things

Today I helped my owner's OtherHalf make something with the use of this machine.

We needed to insert some of these items in the machine together with something else.....

Then we needed to move the slots and pull the lever and guess what came out in the end:

Buttons!!
Yes, we made lots of cool buttons so my owner's OtherHalf can sell them at Comic Book Fairs.

But that's not all!

Just look at what he made especially for me:

Buttons with my picture on them!

I think they're awesome!
And who knows: I might be giving away some of them in a future giveaway.

Buttons and Chestnuts

My owner and me got two beautiful buttons from my owner's OtherHalf last weekend and I wanted to show them to you.

Today I got these chestnuts!

One of them has a large white mark on it as if it wasn't ripe yet, but weirdly enough it is. Isn't it beautiful and strange?

Random Stuff

Eve posted a very cool Indonesian Windchime thingie on her blog, so I thought it would be cool to show you the Indonesian wood carving that we got. It's a creepy face that's supposed to scare off evil spirits I've been told. Seems to be doing it's job as there are no evil spirits here.

This jolly fellow is on the same wall as the Indonesian scary face.

Eve also posted a picture of her many buttons, so we took a picture of my owner's noticeboard as she has many buttons on there. Can you also spot the three really small McPigs? (And: No, I do not count as a really small McPig!)
