Hope you've all had an absolutely amazing Christmas, and time for a nice break! I personally love having a nosy at what Father Christmas got everyone his year, so here's the usual post of a few things which I luckily got!This year I wisely asked for a few smaller things, and was so happy to receive them. I'll be the first to say that my mum isn't the best at buying some presents, so I was thrilled to see that she'd managed to find a few of the things I'd hoped for. Above, basically, is a big girls colouring book! It's the second book in the series by Nina Chakrabarti, and is described as "Another book for drawing, creating and dreaming". It has gorgeous illustrations over the pages, where you can finish and complete the designs, like on the third picture, I finished off the hair and makeup on the portrait. So much fun to just doodle in! I'd heard a lot about "Wreck This Journal", and wanted to buy it for so long, but always decided that I didn't need it. When it comes to creating things, I'm a little bit too OCD about it being perfect... so this, basically tells you to lick the pages and (a personal favourite page, one where you can stick all of the stickers found on fruit!) Love it. - By Keri Smith
(More books... Just love them). The Yves Saint Laurent colouring book! Small, pocket sized handbook and little place to create. Very cute. 'Style Me Vintage' book by Katie Reynolds should hopefully allow me to create some pretty looks for photoshoots for my photography projects, and again, is just an all around gorgeous hardback. 
One of the most beautiful things I received.. is my first fashion illustration artist reference book. Been dying for one, just to help me with all of my projects. It's by Marin Dawber, and has lots of fashion & graphics based work. Can feel that this will be VERY helpful in the next few months! Then a few surprises were.. some vintage looking heart shaped boxes (going to store nail polish in I think!) and a lovely jewellery tree from my friend Sanah, and of course, GORMET JELLY BEANS! Mmm, hello kitty edition too. I got far too much chocolate.. if anybody wants any.. please, do tell me, you can quite happily have it! And finally... Christmas dinner can't be forgotten.
Cupcakes from Fancie Cupcakes in Sheffield. Hope you've all had an amazing few days,x
