Some more art

Here are a few more pictures that I have drawn.

ANYBODY FOR TOAST ?

The time some people seem to have on there hands these days! Is it because they don't work or maybe don't have a family life like my own ( busy ) If your spending your time on the net which yes I love, don't you want to be doing something worth doing ? 

Reason for this little rant ( well not so much a rant, more a disbelief ) is because today as I searched through the apps store on the iphone, I came across the most useless and silly app ever. I know that yes some of these apps are made just as a bit of silly fun. I'm not the kind of person that is over serious and doesn't no how to have a giggle now and then but really how this app could even be consider as fun is beyond me!

The app is called toast. Yes you heard right TOAST. And guys guess what you get to do on toast? UMMMM Well what other then make virtual toast. Yes you put it in that good old virtual toaster, once it has popped up and is all nice and brown you butter it. No people this is no joke! Next you can add some jam and a few more selections of topping. Once that toast is done what else is there to do but eat it. By touching parts of your toast with your finger round bite marks appear. ALL DONE! Is it just me or is there anybody out there that's thinking what is the point in that ? Really it's worse if you see it. Do you want to know what is a tad crazier then the whole toast making thing ? Well this app used to be free, but as it is now a 4 and a half star app ( best being 5 ) itunes will charge you 59p to download it on to your phone. When looking at the app it reads NOW YOU CAN HAVE TOAST ANYWHERE! LOL WHAT A JOKE. I did however become very entertained by the applications reviews which i must add were hundreds. Lets not forget these are the people that have made up the rating of 4 and a half stars. They loved it. At first they had me thinking yep there taking the p*** but no they really did love Toast!

Fault I would share a few of them reviews that yes had me wetting my pants.

1. Loved the app, one of the best I have downloaded on my iphone so far! since the new update I have noticed the butter has become a little thinner. I'm pleased as I was not keen o the thicker butter.
2. Yes loved it. Like that now we can toast waffles. Need a few more toppings and I would give 5 stars.
3. At last I get to make toast when I'm out. This keeps me entertained for hours.
4. This app is fab. Would be much better if chocolate spread was a topping. Liked the thicker butter.
5. Bring back thicker butter and next update can we please have peanut butter as a topping.
6. It's an amazing app, but the bites need some work as they don't look like real bite marks
7. I'm still waiting on chocolate spread. If you have not added it next update I'm deleting toast as It's unfair! everybody wants it and I have asked at least a dozen times by email
8. WOW I I LOVE THIS TOAST APP SHAME WE CAN'T REALLY EAT THE TOAST. WOULD BE BETTER IF WE HAD THE CHOICE TO POUR A JUICE AS WELL.
9. Love toast, Next update could you make a way for us to pimp out our toaster so its all bling
10. Would be great if could toast 4 slices instead of the 2.

Gotta say these and many more had me rolling on the floor, Me my hubby and sister were splitting at the sides. As well as these sad ( sorry ) people that pay 59p for the chance to make virtual toast, they then go on to send in there hyped up reviews. I know what your thinking! It may be OK, how do I know I never brought it. Well after reading the sad but so so funny reviews I made my poor hubby waste 59p so i could see it in action. Well I have to give them one thing! It does what it says on the tin! LOL GOD IT REALLY WAS A LOAD OF CRAP. 

So this is to all you people out there that sit with there iphone or ipod touch, on the bus, train where ever they maybe making virtual toast. Please get a life! If you want toast go home put some nice white bread that you can fell in your hands, put it in the real toaster and make some f*****g toast. YOUR NOT 3 YEARS OLD! ARE YOU?

My little princess won!

YIPPEE :)

Yes my little girl Alice won the Blingee competition for the best girl.

This competition is run on the blingee site were I created and blinged my princesses photo. I posted the image on the post Nothing short of a princess a few days back. You don't really win a prize, but you are awarded with a badge in which you collect and proudly display on your page:))

Well I'm happy with that. It was just nice to know her image had won even though we entered the competition only a few days before it ended. Telling Alice was a delight. She had a huge smile spread from cheek to cheek. Bless her.

So I fault what the hell let's enter a few more. So that's what I did.

It was nice to enjoy some non serious fun. I entered one of the Dog and one of my little man. They close in a few more days so will inform you on the latest once I hear.

I'm giggling now ;)

Guys trust me on this one, It's a cool, fun site and worth a try.

MY LITTLE GIRL, NOTHING SHORT OF A PRINCESS

Add Glitter to Pictures

The artist in me

I have enjoyed drawing for as long as I can remember.

When I was as young as 4 I remember drawing pictures of people. What makes me a laugh about those drawings were I would forget to draw a body! The arms would lead of the head and so would these long, long, long legs. But the face of the person I was drawing would have so much detail! The eyes were perfect with eyelashes and eyebrows all in place. The chin and cheeks would have little dimples and the lips were full with a touch of a smile. The best bit was the hair. The hair is where I would go wild, my imagination taking over. Curly, short, up or down I did them all. I'm sure as I grow up my teachers and parent fault I would become a hairdresser.

As I grow up I started to enjoy drawing anything Disney. I would copy Minnie mouse, snow white or loin king then stick the drawing all over my wall. It wasn't to I hit my teens and started discovering boys that my drawing started to stop. More and more I was out with friends and less and less the pencil touched my hand! 

Then I got together with the other half of me and we had children. Little G is now 8 and my princess Alice is 6. Alice developed a interest in Art if she wasn't marking and creating something she was drawing! Just like me she drew the people with no bodies. Again she was around 3 at the time. When I pointed out to her that yes her drawings were great but the people had the bodies she asked me to help her by drawing a person so she could copy. Guess what as soon as the pencil touched my hand again I couldn't stop. I remembered how much fun it was. I know draw a lot! Well when time is on my side I do! It's something that so totally distresses you and helps you relax, I'm sure all that love art will tell you that!

I have also been getting my son to give art ago. He has ASD and I believe that art is a great help to children with autism, it helps them express themselves. G draws lots now. His interest is in buses and trains and at the moment that's all he will draw as nothing else interests him. Check out some of his and Alice's art on the art page over at A boy with Aspergers.

For now here are a few of my drawings.

WALLPAPER 4 GIRLS

Got an iphone?

If yes have you got the new wallpaper app from the apps store?

The app is called backgrounds and it's free. 

It has tons of fantastic wallpaper for your iphone or upload as a desktop background on your computer. You can click on category's to find the kind of design your looking for. The list seems endless, from messages to patterns, fantasy to girly, Artsy to funny or cute and loads more besides.

I have found some of my favorites in the girly category. Yep trust me I'm a girly girl! So to prove just how good this free backgrounds app is I fault I would share one of the girly wallpapers that grace my Mac in the form of a screen saver.  

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE UP THE MAGIC.

It's all them little things in life that make the magic you fell in your heart. 

Don't you agree?

Whenever my children draw me a picture or they star in a school play that's when I fell most lucky to be alive. You can give me a designer handbag, Chloe dress, Gucci shoes but it still would never compare! although I would never say no to any of the above!

My point is when you have something that you have longed for a sports car or a Holiday in the most amazing place on earth and you fell that felling of happiness. But if you were told you only had weeks to live you would in fact discover how much more the little things compared to the big things make you happy. Guys I'm not dieing but after reading so much in the papers about jade Goody and her losing battle to cancer just makes you think. Jade is a young mum, just a year older then myself! And I know no  one can ever Begin to know what this young woman is going through unless they are or have been through it. But I know like jade if it was me! The hurt of never seeing my children grow up would be the hardest thing in the world. As jade has said in many interviews. When you have life you take it for grunted. Jade holds on to the little things with both hands. We should all take a look at ourselves and ask do we appreciate the little things that make up the magic? I know I do! Do you?

I WANT SOME OF THAT!
