Cool competition

I love my Australian Girl doll, and today Mum told me they have a new competition. I'm going to write a story about me and my doll Jasmine to enter. Maybe we will become mermaids and have an adventure under the ocean, or shrink and meet tiny fairies in a clover field. Who knows?!

Any girl 16 years old or younger can enter. Click here (Mum's showing me how to do links).

Squiddy is super cute

This is my newest ACEO ... Squiddy the Squid! I have been looking at lots of cute Kawaii things on Etsy, and I really like the big eyes. So I started drawing a whole bunch of underwater creatures, and then Australian Animals. Mum let me play with her twinkling H20's so I decided to make Squiddy into an ACEO. I really like it, so we put it in the shop today. Click here to go to the shop listing.

Paper dolls

I made this set of dolls yesterday. They are the emotion fairies including happy, mad, guilty and worried. I love making paper dolls!

Christmas has been busy!

I am really lucky. Mum and Dad gave us our own Australian Girl dolls for Christmas! Mum even made her a maxi dress to wear.

A few days before Christmas Mum won an ebay auction and now I have a trombone of my very own. It's old, but still shiny, and the slide is perfect. I am practicing every second day.

I passed my audition!

At band this morning we had our auditions to move up from training band into the concert band next year. I had to play 'Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree' and 2 other songs that I learned last week. I also had to play a piece of music I hadn't seen before, and I only got 2.5 out of 10 ... but I only really started trying to read from music properly last week, so Mum was really pleased. Best was getting 9/10 for my scales.

I will have a purple concert band t-shirt for performances, and Mum is looking for a trombone of my very own. It's really exciting, and tonight we had a special dinner to celebrate :D

I love Bugs!

Today I was picking some flowers for Mum, and I found this big praying mantis in the lavender garden. He was really interesting watch for a while, and Mum let me use her camera with the macro lens on to take some photos. I really like this one.

Tiny Kitty

Koala (my Brownie leader) brought this cute little kitten to show us last week. He was so teeny tiny, only 3 weeks old. Mum took lots of photos of him, and I got to hold him. He purred and purred, and fell asleep in my hand. I was very sad that he died the next day, but I'm glad I got to meet him.
