Those who look to Him are radiant

You know how sometimes a Bible verse just grabs you and you can't stop thinking about it? Well, that's been happening to me.

A + A // I designed and illustrated a book cover!

It's been wayyyyy too long since I last did an Awkward and Awesome post. Not even sure why it's been so long. It just has been ages! Hopefully this post is awesome enough (sorry for a lame pun attempt, guys) to make up for that.
Anyway, I'll allow you to make up your own minds about that! 

BOOK LAUNCH // "The Princess and I" by Rebekah Eddy

Well hello hello friends! I have something special happening today!

As part of the release celebrations happening around the blogosphere at the moment to celebrate Rebekah Eddy's new book, I get to review it for you all today. Wahoooooo! (It is officially being released on March 3rd.) I also have an author interview for you and more information about the book, so read on for all the excitingness!

Anyway, Rebekah very sweetly sent me a copy to review and being the dedicated person I am, since I don't have an e-reader and I didn't want to read the entire book on the computer, I downloaded it on my phone and read it on there. Well, wooooow.

Quick post with an exciting announcement

This is a quick post (breaking the schedule, sorry people who care about that sort of thing) to tell you something exciting...

I have an Etsy shop!

My shop is to sell my artwork... I have no expectations whatsoever and only have it up as a sort of trial to see whether I will continue with it. I'm not really advertising it anywhere apart from here at this stage.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know, then you can go look at it and spread the word (which I know you'll be dying to do :P). So yep. That's it from me.

DIY // how to make a durable book cover

Welcome to a DIY tutorial! Today I want to discuss how to make an easy, durable book cover that looks way cooler than the cover on the book / journal / diary you currently own. 

Holiday in Karamea

I've got the photos from our holiday in Karamea organised and if I do say so myself, there are some neat photos. You're going to love them - although the only small problem is that there are quite a few so get yourself a cup of tea and a piece of cake and make yourself comfy. :)

Also not all the photos are exactly in order... but they are all captioned so hopefully you don't get too lost! :D

On with the photos....

3 Everyday Problems

Michael // coming up six months old

Several of you have been requesting photos of Michael (and I know I promised photos of him so I can't blame you:)). Well, here you go! This is the post for you. :) He'll be six months old on the 29th of February.

Allow me to first of all apologize for the quality of the photos. My go-to camera for taking nice photos is usually found with a dead battery or not able to be found at all (joys of living in a big family) so I often have to resort to my cellphone. Which doesn't take such nice photos. :/ But I'm hopeful you'll enjoy them anyway. :)

Bonnie's Opinion // I am PRO CHOICE???!!!!

Final American Adventures post

I've been back in NZ for like twelve days now and returned two days ago from the family holiday over on the West Coast (specifically Karamea) which was lovely. I'm enjoying being home and am gradually adjusting to life being a bit different to what it was!
