Here is my new DIY Candy video! Powder Art Dessert Konafuru Oekaki!

So, it's been 10 whole years since I left secondary school. I thought I'd take this opportunity to see just how much i'd achieved and experienced in these past 10 years. - After School I went to College, achieving a Triple Distinction in ND Photography. - At the end of my ND course I got my little furbaby, Tim Cat. - After ND I took a FD Commercial Photography course, I don't actually remember the grade due to the third point below. - During my FD course I passed my driving test - first time! - In the Summer between the two FD years I went to my first real (e.g not BBC Weekend) music festival - Leeds Fest! to see Blink 182 for the second time and The Libertines! - After FD I topped up my degree to a BA, achieving a 2:1 in Creative Practice (Photography). - Just before graduation I applied for 10 jobs (not photography ones, you needed retail experience for them all!), and within a few weeks i'd started my first job. ...

A few Sundays ago we finally went off and crossed another item off our long to do list for 2017 - visiting Tynemouth Market. It's something we've been planning on doing for a few years but never had the opportunity - until last July I was contracted the entire weekend at work and those were my fiancé's only two days off! We took the Metro over, it was a lovely sunny day, we didn't stay long in the end but had a nice wander and look around for about an hour. There were some lovely painted wood decorations, I wanted one of the Disney ones for our house but there was a hole right in the middle of the wood so we decided against it. In the end we only left with four bags of sweets! We looked at a stall selling loads of Disney Pins but decided not to get any because we don't have our pin display set up yet, so we went on to see a, well, builder/general handyman and got some information about some of the work we want doing on our house and took one...

It was finally our FP+ booking day for our Walt Disney World trip earlier this month! I was planning on posting this on the day but I didn't have time to write up the lists after work and so it got pushed back to today.

Vinylmation - Mickey Mouse Cartoon Series If you've read my blog before you probably know i'm quite a collector. Vinylmation was my main thing before Funko POP! figures and it still would be now if the UK store werent phasing Vinylmation out and replacing them with POP!. I couldn't even find any at all in Tokyo Disney Resorts or Stores during my two trips - they've replaced them with Tsum Tsum. This set isn't a standard Vinylmation shape but they still look pretty cool. Stitch Slubbed Tee I absolutely love this tshirt and i'm hoping it's still available in September so I can order it to my hotel in Disney World. I just looked at picking this tshirt, the print below and the backpack but its $60 to ship here! Jerrod Maruyama Enchanted Hipster Print I love Jarrod's Hipser Mickey series, I already have three on my wall but I absolutely need this Dole Whip Enchanted Hipster print, i've been after it for a while but i...

On Sunday we headed down to the Sunderland International Airshow, it rained pretty much all day, starting as soon as the Red Arrows finished their performance. Heres a video of some of the stuff we saw and got up to!
