a favourite recipe i would like to share. This weeks This is theme was chosen from Strawberry Kisses . For more "This is" visit Three Buttons I love peanut butter cookies but don't make them here as I am the only one who likes peanut butter. And while I could probably eat the whole lot I probably shouldn't ;) And you can never go wrong with adding chocolate to the cookies. hmmm I can't actually think of anything that would go wrong with chocolate :p Mr.Fuzzy added cinnamon and chocolate chips which I thought would taste odd but were really good. I think this was my dad's moms but I am not 100% sure on that. It looks more like an old treasure map than a recipe :p *I sent my newsletter off the other day. If there were any problems please let me know :) *

My current reading material. Topic picked by m ychampagnedreams I usually read more then one book at a time, sometimes half a dozen. I like switching between the books depending on my mood and whether or not I want to think too much :p

My Favourite Kitchen Tool I had trouble with this weeks "This is". We don't really have any kitchens tools besides a £2 toaster and £2 kettle from the store of evil (where very little helps :p). Not a big enough kitchen to have a lot of stuff. We don't even have a microwave but thats ok because we would only use it to make popcorn :p The kitchen fits our little blue stove, our little fridge a washing machine and thats it. No room for a drier so when it rains we don't have any dry clothes :p So these are my favorite mugs (they count as tools right? ;) ), also from the store of evil. A witch, a pumpkin and a bat with writings on the other side. I also love the white and brown plates but I am cursed. They have probably survived 20 years and I have had them for 3 months and broke 2 in the course of 2 weeks :p So out come the bright green plastic plates so I don't break any more of them :p

Roar! (photo from here ) what I want to be when I grew up. This weeks choice was from here :) I wanted to be a lot of things when I was a kid. All ending in ologist :p Marine Biologist, Archaeologist, Zoologist, Paleontologist, Veterinarian. Ok so the last isn't an ologist :p I guess if I had to choose I really really wanted to be a Paleontologist. Still would if I could. Nothing really stopping me besides finances and trying to find a school not too far away. I think I draw so many dragons because I love Dinosaurs, even if I can't pronounce half of the names. What did you want to be when you grow up/grew up?

.. absolute favorite band of all time. This is really hard for me. There are so many bands I love that its hard to choose just one. If I wasn't an artist I would be doing something in the music field. Whether that was trying to play an instrument, tuning a piano, drawing cover art (well that is more of an artist thing), singing badly :p, music teacher or a groupie (joking, well maybe :p) I love music and usually need some kind of music playing when I draw. Classical, rock, alternative, pop (don't laugh, lots of art has been from listening and hopping around to pop music), heavy metal, country, folk. Anything and everything. So I am just going to list a few band videos of bands/artists that I love Steve Earle Our Lady Peace Collective Soul Janis Joplin Alice in Chains Kate Nash Seether (I could have listed them is my favorite band if I really had to choose, but its like pulling teeth) And P!nk doing Janis :D Interesting

this is... a work in progress

So at three buttons there is a meme that people can participate in and this week it is "This is... a work in progress" chosen by debbiehill . So I was going to take a picture of a drawing that I am working on but took a picture of this bag I have been working on for a long time. Moving had made me put this away before I could get it finished. I still need to sew the bags flap together and the zipper needs to be added to the bag. I than have to make or find some kind of strap to attach to the sides. Its not a huge bag but its not that small either. I prefer bags big enough to keep everything I need in them. You never know when you might need something. I really wish I had of bought more of this fabric (I only have a yard of it, or had a yard of it :p), but it wasn't that cheap. I love when there are fabric sales, there need to be more of them :p I'm having the hardest time finding light blue or light purple buttons. One would think it would be easy to find buttons. P...
