Watching TV and Awesome Mail

I've been watching the Classics music channel this last week. There's often really cool 80's music. Anyone know what artist and song this is?

Today I had lots of cool mail!
I won Shanghai Steam in a giveaway over at Velvet's blog
Melliane send a book for Voodoo Bride and some cool bookmarks.
And we received some really cool Dog Tags from Vivian Arend.

We received some extra Dog Tags from Vivian as well, so we might have to do a giveaway at my review blog soon when Voodoo Bride reviews Vivian's newest Wolf Shifter book.

Beanie Mail and Zombies

Today there was yet another beautiful card from Beanie.

Oh, this one is from George and Tango as well.
Thanks guys!

And there was a zombie book in the mail today as well!
I won this signed copy of Play Dead by Ryan Brown at Velvet's blog during her amazing Zombie event. Thanks Velvet and Ryan! The book sounds like my kind of zombie story.

Happy Pig, Drooling Bride

Today there were lots of cool surprises.

First I got little marzipan and chocolate piggies from my owner's OtherHalf. They're fun and yummie!

there was also lots of mail:

My ower got a package which included this cool frowny stressball keyring that she gave to me!

There was also a package from Beanie!
I won his monthly giveaway and he send me 10 of his beautiful found-art items! I especially love the CD and the Good Luck card.

And these two books made Voodoo Bride drool.
We got The Goblin King from Caro and I won Heart of Steel over at Velvet's blog.

Thank Beanie, Caro and Velvet!
You rock!

Sea Monsters, Work and Bob

I got another book in the mail!
I won this Jane Austen mash-up over at vvB32 Reads.

Velvet: Thanks, you always have the coolest giveaways.

Today I helped my owner out at work again.
I don't know how she'd get her work done without me.

In our break I got to chose a snack and I picked piggy candy.

One of our co-workers had a pretty bow thing in her cubicle.
I had to check that out of course.

And I saw this Spongebob binder!
Isn't it cool!?

And now it's time for weekend!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Christmassy Stuff, Hippo and a Book

Yesterday we went to a birthday and there was a whole Christmas village! I explored it a bit ofcourse.

There were lots of animals, like this sheep.

Small houses that were all lit up.

Even a church!
Very beautiful!

Playing around with a Christmas light decoration.

Today at work my owner bought us something to drink and it had a hippo on it. I'm thinking this is why my owner wanted that particular drink, but she denies it.

When we got home there was a package waiting for me. It contained this book that I won over at vvB32 Reads.
Thanks Velvet and Pauline! Me and Voodoo Bride look forward to reading it.

A New Friend and a Winner!

Yesterday it was Games Night and one of our friends brought someone for me to meet: 'der kleine
Maulwurf' (the little mole).

We had a great time together and I hope Little Mole will visit us again in the future.



And now for the winner of the button giveaway:

The random number generator has spoken and the winner is Velvet from vvB32 Reads!

Velvet: congrats!

For those who didn't win: I'll be having a blogoversary in January and there are a couple of buttons left so who knows! ;-)

Small update and lots of cool mail

We moved backed to our home this Tuesday. There were lots of boxes once again.

It was weird to see the temporary house get empty again.

When all our stuff was moved backed to our home we decided to treat ourselves before we had to more painting, redecorating and unpacking so we went out for dinner.

At the Ni Hao Wok restaurant ofcourse!!



On the day of our move there was a package for my owner from Gini Koch with a Housewarming present. Just look what was in it for me!

My own signed Alien in the Family postcard!

Thank you, Gini!!

There was also a beautiful card from Beanie!

He send us an article about a helpfull Hippo.

Thanks Beanie! It's a really cool article. Me and my owner love it!

And today there was a package from Velvet from vvB32 Reads.
There were lots of goodies and two books that I won at one of her lovely giveaways.

Thanks Velvet! I love everything you send.


ps: sorry if some pictures are a bit dark, but I do not have my normal computer so can't lighten them up at the moment.

Pigs and Zombies

Yesterday afternoon I saw a program on tv that had these pigs in it!

Today there were two packages for me!
They contained books that I had won over at vvb32 reads. Velvet always has the most amazing giveaways over at her blog I can tell you.

One of the books is 'Feed' by Mira Grant. It's about zombies!! I really look forward to reading it.

The other book is 'The Iron Duke' by Meljean Brook. I know it looks kind of romancy, with the bare chested guy on the cover, but I also got high hopes for this one as it got zombies too and it has Steampunk as well!

Thanks Velvet! I'm very happy with my books.

Steampunk Mail

There was mail from the US for me today.

It turned out to be from Velvet from vvB32 Reads. She send me a card with info on Steampunk and on the book 'The Iron Duke' by Meljean Brook because I'm participating in her Iron Seas challenge.

I hope I will win the challenge as that will mean I win 'The Iron Duke'. It's got zombies!

A Card and a Book

We got our first mail at the temporary house: This flowery card was send to us to wish us a good stay here.

And in all the stress of packing I forgot to show you this: A Steampunk book I won over at vvB32 Reads. The book is about an automaton called Mattie. I read the first couple of chapters and sofar I think it's very intriguing.

And look! It's signed.
Thanks vvB32 and Ekaterina.

Lots of Cool Mail!

Yesterday there was lots of mail for me and my owner!

We got this lovely card and beautiful flower picture from Marlowe and his Mom. Thanks Marlowe, we love it!

There was a book I won at vvB32 Reads' Werewolf Weekend.
vvB32: I started reading it right away and it's a great read sofar! Thanks.

And last, but certainly not least there was a really cool package from Eve! There's pig shaped soap, pig shaped erasers, candy, beautiful cards, bookmarks, a small book and more!

I really love these: Artist Trading Cards that Eve made herself. The middle one is my favourite.

Schmorg really liked this card with a sentiment about chocolate on it. He hopes that if he shows it to us long enough we'll get the hint and buy him chocolate.

There also was a lovely Alice in Wonderland shirt for my owner! She tried it on immediately, but wouldn't pose for a picture, but I can tell it looks good on her.

The little book is about Mr. Mischief and it got very cool drawings. My owner tells me she used to read Mr. books as a kid, so is very glad to own one of the Mr. books now.

Thanks Eve, it's a lovely package!

Steampunk Doll!

There was another package for me today and look what was in it!

It's a cool Steampunk Pirate Doll I won at a Steampunk giveaway over at vvB32 Reads and which was made by Shana of Kreating Insecurities.

Thanks vvB32 and Shana!
I love the doll and I think she'll like it here and become friends with Voodoo Bride.
