Peek-a-boo!

..it's Pook-A-Looz! I do think most kids (and big kids, for that matter) have a favourite Disney film or character - I always adored the Aristocats myself. I was browsing around my local supermarket today searching for a birthday card, and found these little guys dancing around on one!

I guess they are like a fun, stylised version of each character. I love how soft, cute and friendly these toys look :)

I think my favourite is probably this one though:

Oh and look - there are Muppet ones too!

Spring is here!

Flower & Bird Hairslides by Penny Masquerade
This week, it has really started to feel like springtime, hurray! The daffodils have properly opened up in my garden and everything. I do love the succession of colour in the garden around this time of year, starting with the snowdrops, then crocus, now the daffodils and soon my beloved tulips will be in bloom. ♥ So, in celebration of this lovely development, I am sharing some cheerful spring-inspired things I found on etsy.

Dinosaur Mania!

If you like Dinosaurs, well, you're in for a treat.

The Age of Reptiles Omnibus is here! It's just been published and it's a full-colour book packed with lavish, imaginative illustrations of the land of dinosaurs, including plenty of the 'bitey' carniverous ones.

I bought it for my dinosaur-loving other half's birthday. Suffice to say, he loves it! Mind you, what kid didn't grow up loving the idea of a wild dinotopian world before we humans came along? Even now, I believe dinosaurs have a fairly universal appeal.

The stories were created by Ricardo Delgado (a development & storyboard artist known for his work on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Men in Black and The Incredibles to name but a few!), and orginally published by Dark Horse as a mini series in individual comic format. The books have even received Eisner awards for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition and Best Limited Series.
