Like Cute? Like Animals? Check this out....

Hi guys!
 

As you may have read I've been fundraising to go volunteer in Africa! I am hopefully still going to be going, but due to funds I may have to put it on hold for a few years, but when I do go I may be able to stay longer :)

Anyway I'm selling a load of stuff on eBay so if you like cute and animals check it out :D

I'm selling Framed Animal Posters, of some photos that I have taken myself :)

 

 

 

I've got lots of Animal Themed Bracelets....

if you see any you like but want to switch things around such as different beads, coloured bracelets and such, drop me an email, amydavies93@hotmail.com or comment on my facebook group "Amy's Africa Fund", and I should be able to sort it out for you :)

 

 

All the money from these sales are going towards my volunteer work, which I will keep you posted on :)

I'm also hoping to make a few arts & crafts type gifts over the summer (when I'm free from Uni work) so expect to see more from me :P

 

Let me know what you think :)

BIAZA Love Your Zoo Week!!

Hi guys,

Today I helped out at Reaseheath College zoo doing some love heart themed enrichment as part of BIAZAs Love Your Zoo Week. The zoo has been open to the public all week, with a range of activities for the kids too.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Me and a friend built heart shaped boxes, and hearts with slots for food, for different animals around the centre.

 

 

 

 All the animals really engaged with the enrichment and it was really enjoyable to watch. The public seemed to enjoy it too, a group of young lads stood watching while George the serval tired to figure out how to get the meat out of his box :)

 

 

 George the serval, with his meaty surprise :)

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The porcupine boys loved their heart treats too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The capybara hijacked the heart box that was meant for the tapir, but they had a good munch on the cardboard. The lemurs were really intrigued by their swinging heart too.

 

All in all it was a really enjoyable day :) It was nice to give the animals something a little different.

My Bright Idea!! Fundraising for Africa!

 

Hi guys,
            I know I have been neglecting my blog again :| I always feel so guilty when I come back.
Things have been pretty busy with uni work and Christmas and what not, BUT I'm back and I've had a brain wave!!

I am currently saving every scrap of money I can so that I can volunteer at a rehabilitation centre in Africa next year (I mentioned this in an old post). I've been selling all my old stuff on eBay to try and make a few pennies but as expected people just don't want my old stuff haha!

Soooo, I've decided to use the money I've made so far to make something that people might actually want to buy....jewelry. I made my friend a bracelet for Christmas (i use the term made very loosely) I picked out the charms and designed the bracelet. Here's a quick pic (she has changed the order of the charms, they were symmetrical)

 

I was a little bit jealous when I gave it here, I grew quiet attatched to it :P So I thought maybe selling something I like might be a bit more appealing to others.

I am currently in the process of frantically buying beads and charms to get a good selection so I can get started.

Here are a few beads that are on their way, just to give you an idea of what I'll be using....

 



I'm aiming to sell these at around £5-£7 I haven't worked it all out yet. Each bracelet will have about 5-7 charms on it, I've scribbled down some ideas for themes and such based on the beads I've seen....

 

 These won't be up on my eBay page until at least late February but I just thought I'd share my idea with you guys :) I am selling some old books and stuff if anyone wants to have a nose my eBay name is 11amyjane93

I'll keep you posted when my beads have arrived, when I design my first bracelet and so on :)

What do you think?

Sorry I've Been Gone...

Hi Guys,
Sorry I've neglected my blog the past few month, I've been a busy bee. I am now officially a student!
I've moved into Reaseheath College (but I'm technically a University of Chester student), and I'm studying Bsc Animal Behaviour and Welfare. So I'll fill you in with what I've been up to.

I'm living in a self catered block on Reaseheath campus. I love my room its much bigger than the cupboard space I was living in at home haha! I have a desk and everything! It was pretty empty when I moved in but I've plastered the walls with pictures of my friends and family and it feels much better now :)

I've made some really good friends on my corridor, they are all sane and they don't steal my food which was my main concern :P We have all clicked really well and we have such a laugh, even if its on nights out or randomly entertaining ourselves with inanimate objects aha!

I'm enjoying my course, the work is pretty tough but the practical side is so much fun! I've hand fed the ring tailed lemurs and the serval, I've handled ferrets and tortoises, but I've also done a lot of cleaning out haha.

If anyone is interested in this kind of thing then please please follow our new blog
Me, Roxy and Leigh-Anne (as seen in police uniform :P) are trying to fund raise to volunteer in Africa. I won't go on about the details as that's all in the blog but basically we just need to be heard so hopefully we can raise some money for a good cause. So if you could take the time to read our blog or follow us or mention us on your own posts we would be really grateful :)  http://fundraisingvolunteerstudents.blogspot.co.uk/

I will try and keep up to date with my blog from now on :)

Hope you enjoyed reading.

So I Went On Holiday....

Hi guys,
I said I was going to fill you in this week with what I've been up to so I thought I'd start off with a significant two weeks, my holiday to Turkey.

I've been going every year since I was born but I still love it. All the fam, the grandparents, me and my boyfriend went this year. It was gorgeous, the weather was stunning and Ryan & I went on a day trip to Pamukkale.

Pamukkale was one of the highlights for me. It's beautiful. It's natural springs up in the mountains, and all the walls are bright white from the salt and minerals. It's amazing.

We also went on our annual boat trip which is always fun. Jumping off the side of the boat, snorkelling in the sea and walking around the little villages. It's a nice day out.

Most of the two weeks was spent in the sun by the pool, just the way I like it. A few cocktails on the night, listening to my nan trundle down memory lane. All in all it was a great two weeks.

A holiday would not be a holiday without pretty nails for the occasion :) I used Models Own lilac and pale pink to create a gradient and then used the nail art pen to create the leopard print pattern on top :)

Hope you like! :)
