I finished the layout!

I worked for about two hours on this layout so I hope you like it! The previous one was a default one, but looked like I made it :P

Okay, moving on I did some embroidery lessons with Isabelle and here's what I've done so far:

I'm spelling Meadhbh the quicker way because its my first try. It'll be Maeve when I'm finished :D
Its all made up from a bunch little X's and lines. as you can see here:

Well anyway, I have to go to bed now. Its very late.
I'll update again soon! :D

Neovision results...

The craziest and funniest possible thing happened to me a couple of days ago. Mari and I were browsing NeoPets as we do on boring days, looking for a background to put on Mari's pet when all of the sudden we saw that the new NeoVision contest entries had been chosen. We clicked the ugly banner

and scanned the winners' list. It took us a couple of looks up and down before we saw it. We had won the NeoVision contest. TNT had actually fell for our acting and has posted it for all the Neopians to see it. Here's the proof:

I ran up the stairs, not able to breathe with laughter, and woke up mom. We went to Thomas's office to watch it. Sadly they showed this annoying advert about a toy parrot that talks then we laughed at how funny it was that out of 150,013,073 NeoPets users our video got chosen. I hate the level of work people expect from children. It's always so low... only users older than 10 can enter the NeoVision contest, so they're not all five or anything. The only way to win seems to be to act stupid and blend with the rest :P

Oh yeah, and you can watch all of the videos here.

Anyway, away from NeoPets I have had quite a fun four days. Today Mari and I watched the first Harry Potter film again today. All the characters are so small and are so bad at acting. :P It's very funny to watch. We also watched the fifth Harry Potter movie about seven times since it arrived here. :D

Thomas and I took the dogs on a longer than usual walk today. We walked up near where the hunters hunt. We realised, while coming back, that we had scared off all of the rabbits and birds with our calls, whistles and clicks to Gracie and Iris. The hunters weren't pleased :P

Mari and Thomas also bought a Christmas wreath when they browsed the selection of Christmas Trees for sale. I decorated the wreath with a bow so far :D I will be adding some bobbles when Christmas comes :)

It looks kinda fake but its real. It smells so nice :D

The cat comes inside almost daily now. He's actually sleeping on a chair at the moment :) His fur has gotten even thicker since I last posted :D

You'll all be glad to hear that the stitches in Gracie's face have been removed. She seems happier that they're gone :P

The sun sets really oddly as you can see here:

And here's a few random pictures of Iris. I find them funny. She's so cute :P

That's all for tonight I'm afraid. I'm doing some embroidery lessons with Isabelle, our cleaner, so I'll post about that soon :)
I also might do some cooking... It depends :P

Fake NeoVision Entry.

I've been having a bit of trouble with making a new blog layout. I keep having to start over because it's wrong or doesn't look right :S
But I'll fix it soon, don't worry :P

Over the last two weeks I've started up a new NeoPets graphics site here, Mari and I beat the video game we were playing :P, I helped build my new bed, Mari and I made a fake NeoVision contest entry (more about that in a minute), I updated the pet timez, Thopmson (our cat) decided it was cold enough for him to come inside the house, the weather has gotten windy and cold, etc.

I don't think I mentioned it before but only two of the baby mice are left. They're both very healthy though, there about 3/4 the size their mother was and run around a lot. They seem very happy :D

This is my and Mari's FAKE NeoVision video. We decided to make it to test if TNT (The Neopets Team) would buy it :P
They haven't announced the winners yet :D

We're very hopeful XD

You'll all be glad to hear that Gracie's nose is fine. It didn't get infected or anything and we'll be taking out the stitches very soon. :)

That's all I have time for tonight I'm afraid. I hope you'll like the layout when I make it :P

My Birthday!

Hey everyone.
As you all probably already heard it was my b-day on the 4th of November!

We ate sushi and cake! It was WAY to filling... We gave some to Théo and little Thomas.

I want to write this post as a thanks to everyone who got me a present :D

I'll start with my mom. She got me a pair or Really nice roller-skates that are so good and fast that I had to start all over again in the skate park :D They're so much better then the old ones! :P

Thomas got me a T.V. and a replacement game-cube! (Iris broke the last one :o)
I was very surprised to get two presents from mom and Thomas actually. Which makes it even more of a surprise :-D

Jesse got me a couple of really nice books and some chocolates that were extremely nice and that I have now forgotten the name of :3 I've started on one of the books but can't seem to stop! That often happens to me :P

Leah got me a really cool solar energy kit and a card so big that it won't fit in my card drawer! I can't wait to try the solar energy kit out :) Its really nice :D

Nan got me a set of nice bath soaps, a book on countries and flags and a book series on animals :)
(Tell Nan I say thanks :D)

CJ got me a very pretty necklace and a lovely card :F
I love them <3

Freddie got me a very cute chicken teddy. (She was aiming for a pigeon but couldn't find one mom says :P)

And last but not least, Dad got me a lovely set of faerie themed tarot cards :D They're very nice and are even more interesting then I though they were. :)

Oh and I almost forgot. Alan and Raphael's present was a triangular rip in Gracie's face by their dog, Isis.
Mari and I were feeding them and it all went a bit wrong... I now have four teeth marks in one finger. It doesn't hurt though and its very clean. :)

The vet stitched Gracie's gash up very well. Its almost not noticeable now.
And Gracie is even happier now that she's back home.
As they say, "absence makes the heart grow fonder".
("If only that worked on teachers..." as Mari once said :P)

I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner. The internet airport went all funny (again). It always seems to happen when I want to write a post for some odd reason...

That's all I have time for for tonight though.

I'll post again soon!

Halloween!

Hey again,

Halloween was really fun. Me, Mari, Raphael (I spelled it wrong), Théo and little Thomas went trick or treating!
Here are a few pictures:

This is Mari and Raphael. They dressed as vampire-skeletons! It's a great idea if you ask me :P

This is a picture of Isis, Iris and Gracie sitting next to me. :D

And this is a picture of Isis, Iris and Gracie running away from me. Isis already left. :P

We got a load of candy and had a sleep-over. We watched "The nightmare before Christmas" which is one of my favourite movies :D

I also made some cupcakes:

They're supposed to look like they have blood on them. We sort of went half-assed towards the end :P

A rather sad thing happened today. I had cleaned my hamster cage, and was ready to clean the mouse cage where I found the mother mouse and one of her children had passed away :(
My mom thinks the mother may have left that poor baby mouse to die because it had a disease. The mother may have caught the disease off of him/her.
I think the mother mouse may have just died of old age. She was fully grown when Mari got her last Christmas. Maybe she just hung on until she knew her babies could look after themselves. Meaning they could eat whole foods. And she left that other mouse because he/she was the smallest one. Mother mice often do that.
Whether the baby died of disease or because it was the smallest, it was the mother instinct to leave it I suppose...

But luckily the babies are doing fine so far. They're all eating whole food and running around a bit. I put them near the fireplace to keep a bit warm. I can hear them now :P
I'll keep checking back on them every couple of hours in the day. They'll be OK I hope...

This is the smallest one living. I'm glad he/she is eating :D

They're so cute aren't they?

It's my Thirteenth birthday in 1 day and 11 hours and 43 minutes. Just in case anyone forgot :P (only joking)
I think it will be really fun. Mom keeps saying stuff like "there might have been a package for you today" or "Someone not from the family, that you don't expect is getting you something" I don't know whether she's trying to trick me or not! But it's fun nevertheless :D

I won't be getting a pigeon this year mom says, though I really want one. I find them really cool. Here are a few pictures of random pigeons:

I find these pigeons beautiful. They're called Victorian Crowned Pigeons. The name suits them well :P

I like white pigeons a lot. I love how their eyes show up brighter.

This is an 8" long stuffed pigeon. I found it randomly :P

**Note to mom, this is not a "hint" of any kind, I'm just bored and like these photos**

I've just updated The Pet Timez so please have a look at it :)

That's all I have time for for tonight. I'll update in a few days :)
