Hello Kitty for president

Now I'm British so the American election is just a spectator sport for myself and with mercury retrograding it should only cause more drama, and from the outside looking in my vote would go to Obama. He may or may not have stuck to his promises, but a woman deserves rights and with Romney in charge it looks to be all downhill from the minute he'd set foot in the white house. 

Enough of the serious stuff.. I Love the Sanrio campaign 'Hello Kitty for president!'


By using the art of photo shop they have reworked iconic images and made them a forefront. Who needs Jay Z or Kid rock campaigning for you when your Hello Kitty! 



The pop up store in NYC was open from the 1st of November to the 6th. while this is all in good fun Sanrio donated proceeds to the american red cross, to aid in the recovery of the city after Hurricane Sandy along with other charities. 




The collection is super adorable too, and to all lovers of Hello Kitty over 18 in America this is a good way to remember to vote. You can't complain if you don't bother voting. Your vote could make all the difference.

Truffle! 


I have been meaning to get this little guy since Easter so whilst walking around forbidden planet, I saw him alone and in the wrong place therefore I had to get him! Better late than never eh?



Donutella! 

She is probably my Favourite tokidoki purchase of all time, and the dearest! My first Tokidoki plush purchase and I'm actually impressed with the quality. I have so many idea's to utilise her and as my sisters have falling in love with her I'm making a picture book full of her travels therefore wherever I go she will go, also with the aid of Photoshop at parts I'm guessing. Cheap and cheerful Christmas present for them and a open door of creativity for me!

Sharpie x Lava lamp collaboration

i love lava lamps and when tokidoki's involved in anything I fall head over heels with it so when I heard about this collab with sharpie and Lava lamp I had to check it out! 


These 5 lava lamps are a one of a kind and can be won over Facebook (yes facebook the devil itself.) With a trip to wherever the art on the lava lamp is inspired from, so I'm guessing the tokidoki one will be japan and honestly that would be a dream come true. Although I love the tokidoki Lava lamp i quite like the others too, Artwork on the others are from roth, boey, langille and choonimals.

My tokidoki collection #2

So after searching for months for a Latte, Ebay finally granted my wish and although one of my mates figured out He was on there too and bumped the price up he is finally mine, Ebay is also a curse in my book, spent way too much on tokidoki figures, So here are the latest in my overflowing collection!

 Mou Mou, Choco and Latte!

Latte is quite frankly my most sought after tokidoki Character, I honestly Can't believe I now own one! I Think after till death do us part the moofia is my favourite of the Tokidoki clans of characters! Although with the chances of me finding a latte I told my mum I wouldn't need to buy another figure, (so we'll keep that a secret for now, hello royal pride)





Devil robots x Tokidoki Trexi.

Now I didn't realise this existed till I stumbled upon her on ebay, I'm not too sure what I make of her she does have another side to her and is adjustable. I love the fact that I sort of have something close to a tokidoki girl in my collection.

Wreck this journal #5

I've been slacking on my wreck this journal but the last few day's I've gotten stuck back in it! So here's the latest update, please ignore the 5 year old like finger painting. 



Page 13 - This page is for Handprints or finger prints, get them dirty. Then press them down. 

Excuse the Soddy painting, Used the leftovers of what my sisters used to create a abominable mess, but I totally hit my childhood days with this!






Page 80-81 - Drip something here (ink, paint, tea) Close the book to make a print. 


I'm really pleased with how this turned out, so i didn't drip I sort of used quick random strokes instead. But I honestly think I'm the only person to think it's a peacock! 



Page 167 - Document Time passing. 

Well I struggled to get a concept for this page (and yes I know, wreck this journal isn't really for over thinking but this is me and that's how I am) 

So clearly the Hickery dickery dock clock and the mice. Then random quotes about time. (pretty basic really) but my inspiration behind this was a wake up call to myself, I've wasted a lot and I mean a lot of my time this year  dwelling on the past and it's about time I snap out of it because Life is for living. 





Page 106 - This page is dedicated to Lyrics

Another one of the pages I've added myself so my Journal doesn't have blank pages and to be honest, if Kerry smith knew the audience that in general would buy wreck this journal I have no doubt there would be a page similar to this included somewhere in it.




So just a quick update; currently in progress are the best pages of my journal in my opinion, Including the colour this page which will be tokidoki themed and is taking hours to complete. The fruit stickers page which  I'll be amazed ever gets finished.... It's horrible seeing my wreck this journal journey come to an end but all good things come to an end and after I was so disappointed with this is not a book I hope there's another in the series that captivates me as much as this has! Part 6 will be along a lot sooner than this update I promise!
