I'm a Busy Bee!

I've now been back at uni for five weeks and I have been so busy! I can't believe how quickly my first year is going. I finish in June which will soon come around.

I have had some really exciting news with my illustration business, Buttercrumble. We were published in NEO magazine, so if you want to find out more about that then please read about it here.

Other news, we recently went on a day trip to York with my sister and my uni friends. My sister and I have been to York so many times, but my friends at uni have never been so we just had to show them! Oh look, there's a photo of us...

I showed them Betty's tearooms, it would have been lovely to go in, but there was such a long queue like there always is. Plus it's quite expensive, especially when you're student. A girl can dream though. 

York Minster is a must-see! It's so beautiful. I actually based my fine art project on it at A-Levels. I love the Gothic architecture and huge windows.

Once we went and had a good look at the minster, we visited the "most haunted" pub in York for lunch. It was delicious, but the portions were huge (not that I'm complaining) and we really enjoyed ourselves.
I'm going back to York this weekend, but for a hospital appointment. I'm such a busy bee!

My Anniversary Present for Him

A lovely card if I don't say so myself. It's from Clintons.

 So this week it has been three years since we first got together and so to celebrate I went up to York to meet him for the day and we went to the cinema to see 'The Wolf of Wall Street'  (which is a wonderful film, but not one to watch with your parents).  As a little anniversary present, I jumped on the mason jar bandwagon and filled up two jars with sweets and one with ingredients for a delicious hot chocolate.

In the sweets jar I filled it with all my his favourite sweets such as little chocolate hearts, Haribo hearts and rings, Percy Pigs and mint humbugs. Yum yum. I used Kilner jars so I know the food won't go off and it's something he can reuse for storage. The sweets jar is a clip-lock so it's especially secure! (He likes practicality so this was a bonus).

The hot chocolate jar contains: 3 teaspoons of hot chocolate powder, 4 marshmallows, a chocolate flake and a couple more mints (because he needs them). We're both big hot chocolate lovers, especially when the weather is cold like this. I'm sure he'll enjoy them, he looked really happen when he opened them anyway.

Now to think of something for Valentine's day! Any ideas?
