All Book Lovers!!!

I just found this really cool used and new bookstore called Better World Books. You can sell and donate your used books there or buy some new ones! They also support drives in the community that you can start yourself!!

They also donate money to and support causes for literacy including Invisible Children, Room to Read, NCFL, Books for Africa, and World Fund, which are all non-profit organizations. I just bought a few used books and sold a couple textbooks to them today. They are really friendly and have a great selection of books. While donating and buying used books you will also be helping stop pollution by recycling, reusing, and saving room in landfills!!

All nice and bound up

I finally got around to binding my book today. It came out pretty good I think, considering my lack of book binding skills and supplies! 

Zebras & Gazelles

I visited a zebra and antelope wildlife preserve today and got some cool pictures. There were lots of adorable little babies!!

The cute zebras with the rounded ears are very endangered and will most likely be extinct in their natural habitats by the next 10-15 years. :(

Whew!

Ok, so I FINALLY finished illustrating my little story to educate kids about the rainforest being deforested. It's about a little girl named Ariel who meets a lemur who shows her around the forest and educates her on deforestation and habitat loss. Here are a couple pictures from it!

A New Bag!

I made a cute little upcycled bag out of used plastic bags fused together. I had to do some little test ones first because it was a lot harder than it looked to make it! But this one worked out great and it's for sale in my Etsy shop now. Let me know what you think of it!!
