This is Not a Book: Day 43

Monday 30th December 2013: Day 43 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Well, it would seem, this is the end of this challenge from THIS IS NOT A BOOK (meaning no more photographs). I have actually enjoyed this photo thing, it's been fun. 
This was taken today - this is Alice. I just have her a bath in an attempt to completely get rid of her and Bear's flea problem. She did not like it. In fact, I am positive she is planning my death and I type. 
This is not a book shall continue tomorrow, however, there will be a new challenge! Enjoy! :) 

This is Not a Book: Day 42

Sunday 29th December 2013: Day 42 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today was my best friend's 18th birthday :) To celebrate, we simply had a sleepover, complete with junk food, a little bit of alcohol, and a Pretty Little Liars marathon :)

I also posted this delightful collage of some of our favourite memories from that past four years of being best friends with a sentimental message :) She is an amazing person, and I am so thankful to have known her at all, let alone as well as I do.

This is Not a Book: Day 41

Saturday 28th December 2013: Day 41 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK!

Today I decided to give myself a project to do (: I chose making shelves. I have wanted to make some more of my music shelves for a while and today I finally made dad take me into town to get the things I needed. I made four, and I love them! 


This is the finished product. It was a time consuming task, but rather enjoyable. My room is really coming together! I'm afraid I'll never leave :p

This is Not a Book: Day 40

Friday 27th December 2013: Day 40 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today I went to see the hobbit - an amazing movie with outstanding music!! I read outside because it was such a beautiful sunny day and my brother bought me a surprise gift of City of Bones on DVD! :) 


Oh yeah!! :D exciting! Love this movie! 


Also enjoye dreading under this amazing tree today :)

This is Not a Book: Day 39

Thursday 26th December 2013: Day 39 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today is Boxing Day! And I would have love to have spent it roaming around the town spending money I don't have on things I "can't live without", however, my lack of funds prevented this without question. Instead, I spent the day walking my Bear, reading, searching the web and looking up other books I would like to eventually read (like I haven't got enough). The day was quite warm, and as you can see, the walk thoroughly wiped out poor li'l Bear! 
She is so cute, and sometimes sleeps like a human :) She definitely enjoyed this nap. Today I also spent my iTunes card that I received for Christmas with ease! I bought the soundtrack to Safe Haven, which I cannot stop listening to. John Mayer's new album (clean version), some random songs, and a movie. I got Anchors Aweigh, which I have been looking for forever due to my obsession with both Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra :) I really enjoyed it. One of my new favourites. And may I just say, dayum! Frank was a smokin' young man! And Gene Kelly, *sigh*, that is all.

This is Not a Book: Day 38

Thursday 25th December 2013: Day 38 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK.

Merry Christmas! While enjoying family time and presents, I do hope you remember the true meaning of Christmas :) 
I just thought, for a bit of fun, I'd show you what I received for Christmas, I was so spoilt this year and love everything I got! 


I also of course received my amazing iPhone as my main present :) however I used that to take the photograph haha :)
I seem to have had a green year this year! I fell in love with this amazing green bag you see. It's small and perfect. I wanted a bag as a whole symbolic thing of growing up, finishing school and such ;P You will also see my 2014 spotty diary from Typo. I adore this thing. So cute! I am hoping I will be busy enough to use it throughout next year! I also got a bath set, coconut and lime for something different, and I really like it! I used it yesterday morning :) I also got season 4 of The Vampire Diaries. Yay! And Safe Haven, which is one of my most favouritest movies! Also the Stardust book from Josh and my Dirty Dancing calendar from Father - he gets me a calendar every year themed with something I absolutely love. This year was The Hunger Games :) I also forgot to put them in the photo, but I received the books Divergent and Allegiant. The second one, Insurgent wasn't there so I will have to get that another time. Absolutely spoiled as you can see! Incredible :) I am sure everyone has loved getting this bonus gifts on Christmas!
Of course our most powerful and sentimental gift is Jesus being born and dying for us, and his birth is of course what Christmas represents. But, it is still fun to receive some randoms like this!  

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!! 

This is Not a Book: Day 37

Wednesday 24th December 2013: Day 37 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Merry Christmas Eve!! 
We have a tradition in the household, in which my brother, josh, and I exchange our gifts on Christmas Eve- I'm not complaining! I am most excited about the book my brother so kindly bought. It's a limited edition hardcover copy of stardust. Signed, with a case and everything! Amazing!! 


See! Signed!! :D so excited to begin reading this one. I have seen the movie, but have yet to read the book. And I think it'll be a favourite! Bring it on :)

This is Not a Book: Day 36

Monday 23rd December 2013: Day 36 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK.

A pretty chill day today :) 
Went for a walk, watched some shows and YouTube, did some reading, ate some chocolate. 


My two main companions, toblerone and city of fallen angels :)

This is Not a Book: Day 35

Sunday 21st December 2013: Day 35 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Well, today was the Christmas party down in Melbourne with dad's side of the family. I was able to drive down there which was a good experience and I was happy with my performance. 
The party itself was fun, however I got a horrible headache by the end and wanted to leave. 
Looks like it will be an early night for me! Definitely going to bed and finishing the secret garden. 


I also took this on the way home from our mini road trip. This isn't endited at all! The colours are absolutely astounding! One of the most beautiful sunsets ever! 

This is Not a Book: Day 34

Saturday 20th December 2013: Day 34 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK


Today was a relatively boring day. However tonight was one of immense activity. Me and some of my favourite people went out for dinner and to a movie. We went to the forge, a pizza place - which was amazing! And then we went to see American hustle - not so amazing. The night got super fun when we decided to take some photo booth pictures - something I have always wanted to do!

This is Not a Book: Day 33

Thursday 19th December 2013: Day 33 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Okay, so I am aware that I've been slack with these posts. However, there has just been nothing happening. I've been home all day doing literally nothing. Today I played the sims3 for an unhealthy amount of time and finished the day off reading my bible. It was about 38 degrees Celsius today - insane! 30 degrees inside. Too hot to do anything! 


This is the lovely Bear enjoying an icy pole on such a hot day! Cutie.

This is Not a Book: Day 31

Monday 16th December 2013: Day 31 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today I had my first driving lesson which went surprisingly well considering the lack of experience and accident yesterday. I was slightly worried it would've had an underlying psychological influence over me and I'd poop my pants when I came to a roundabout. 
Tonight is pretty chill. We watched Home Alone and now I am in bed early to read some. I shall read some City of Fallen Angels and then my Bible - I feel like I haven't been doing that enough and I've lost some flare.

This is Not a Book: Day 30

Sunday 15th December 2013: Day 30 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today was super eventful, and yet not at the same time. I went for a drive this morning with father to get some hours and ended up in a car accident. A truck had leaked some liquids onto the road moments before I came through the roundabout and I spun out of control into a ditch. Another may have easily avoided the disaster, but I have not nearly enough experience to know what to do in such a crisis. The car was a bit beat up and I only have a couple bruises, thank God (literally) that I was driving because I was only going 20km, if father was driving, he would have been going much faster and the damage may have been much worse! 

I also went to the Ballarat Carols tonight which was good. The following photograph is me once I got home and took my hair out of my bun. It went *bboofffpphh* and a mass of voluminous curls went every which way!

This is Not a Book: Day 28

Friday 13th if December 2013: Day 28 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today ended up being a really good day. I decided it wasn't me to dwell on the negatives that were going on and I wanted to change my day around. SO! I put up the Christmas tree, decorated it and put the gifts underneath. 
I rather enjoyed it. I then watched a movie with the mother bear, the hunger games, and really just had a pretty chill day all up. 
This is my beautiful Christmas tree. Out odd little rustic metal tree with bits and bobs hanging off it awkwardly - this is how we know this is our perfect tree. It's a perfect representation! The lights are beautiful and constantly changing, the gifts around it prove how spoilt we are! 
I am getting so excited :) 
Happy early Christmas!!

This is Not a Book: Day 27

Thursday 12 December: Day 27 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

I have missed the last couple days due to nothing happening. I didn't take any photos purely for that reason - there was nothing to capture. 
Today was an exciting day. Mother and I went Christmas shopping! I find it so much fun to buy things for other people, I really enjoy it! I have now successfully bought gifts for the brother, father and mother :) 
This Christmas is still exciting despite the fact that I know everything I am getting. I have been absolutely spoilt this year, as I am every year. It's amazing. I am so blessed to be able to have and do these things. 
I do hope that during all the hustle of everybody cramming stuff into their trolleys that they do remember the real meaning and reason for Christmas, it's in the name - Christ. I hope this remains the focus during everyone's special family time and among the gifts that the meaning doesn't get covered by wrapping paper! 

This is a selfie I shamelessly took after our big day out ;P

This is Not a Book: Day 24

Monday 9th December 2013: Day 24 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Well, it seems I have skipped yesterday :S truth is, nothing really happened and I felt a photo of me going to priceline or taking yet another walk or watching Angel or driving around wouldn't be the most interesting thing to document. 
Today is yet another lazy day. Just watching some shows, reading, writing a bit - I started a short story yesterday :) so I'll see where that goes! 
Today, it's a typical ballarat summer day- rain, thunder. So this means! Warn blankets, mint hot chocolate, the vampire diaries (among other shows), reading my books and just chilling! I do love these days :) 

Also - creepy reflection in the laptop screen! Haha :P Just ignore my unmakeuped, pj'd and messy haired self!

This is Not a Book: Day 22

Saturday 7th December 2013: Day 22 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK!

Today was an absolutely amazing day. Such beautiful weather. Just one of those days where one easily finds themselves incandescently happy with the simple beauty one finds around them. The sun is shining, the warmth is being soaked in as I read. I did some driving, and I am very excited about going to the movies tonight with two of my best friends and my brother to see Catchinh Fire - the second of the Hunger Games trilogy. Which I am SO excited for. You have no idea. 
It truly has been such a great day! 

This is Not a Book: Day 21

Friday 6th December 2013: Day 21 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Today was not the most eventful day. We roamed about the town and ran some errands including my brother getting his P's, excitement! I also came to the conclusion that I need a job ASAP, otherwise I will definitely go insane. I did go for a walk with Bear again today, which was rather lovely :) 


This is a section of the path I must walk trough during my circuit. It's one of my favourite little bits, it's only about 20 meters or so, but my goodness is it lovely! It's absolutely beautiful. I thank God for scenes such as this - it's magical. As though it is a place in which fairies live or the entrance to wonderland. :)

This is Not a Book: Day 20

Thursday 5th December 2013: Day 20 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK.

Today was absolutely freezing - a disappointment for it being summer and all. It was also mothers birthday. We didn't really have anything special planned, we just stayed in and watched movies :) I wasn't complaining. 
Hot water bottle, snugly blankets, movies, hot drinks and cat snuggles - it must be summer! 
Of course it is almost Christmas, I gotta use my favourite and ridiculously adorable Christmas mug. A Dalmatian wearing a Santa hat? Yes! 

This is Not a Book: Day 19

Wednesday 4th December 2013: Day 19 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK.

This is what we call rush hour in my little town :) I absolutely love it out here in the country. I love walking and being in nature like this. I can't imagine living in a city, having no air, everyone looking angry in business suits and no trees or wildlife. I much prefer this amazing space in which I pass several kangaroos and have almost complete solitude to listen to my music and walk with the puppy!

This is Not a Book: Day 18

Tuesday 3rd December 2013 - Day 18 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

This is the adorable Bear and I enjoying a lovely walk. I have been walking this 6km track for the last few days. She's obviously enjoyin' it :) It's super nice when the weather cools down and it's not quite dark yet - if one is not prone to be eaten alive by mosqueetos. I love just walking alongside this noodle and listening to my tunes!

This is Not a Book: Day 17

Monday 2nd December 2013: Day 17 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

One is never too old to participate in the Christmas tradition of chocolate advent calendars. Ever.

Two down! YUM!

This is Not a Book: Day 16

Sunday 1st December 2013 - Day 16 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Pinch punch first day of the month! Heh heh ;P

As you can see, Alice is very excited about this whole 'nearly Christmas' thing. Ha, she's such a beauty when she wakes up! ;)

This is Not a Book: Day 15

Saturday 30th November - Day 15 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

This is a photo from the after-party of the formal. We had gotten into pjs by this stage because we couldn't handle the heels and dresses anymore ;P
This was literally taken about 2am haha.

Friday, November 29, 2013

This is Not a Book: Day 14

Friday November 29th - Day 14 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Last night was my formal - a pretty late night for us all ;P
We all had such an amazing time, it was a great send off for us all finishing our education thus far. The girls all looked stunning, the guys handsome, there were laughs, music and hilarious dancing. A few came back to my place for a little after-party type deal, which lasted till around 2am. Ridiculous. It was fun. Good times had by all.

This is Not a Book: Day 13

Thursday 28th November 2013 - Day 13 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

'This is a commitment.' - Pages 61&62
Do one thing on this list every day for one month.
  • Wear and article of clothing inside out
  • Read a book you don't think you'll like
  • Sing on your way to work/school 
  • Give something away
  • Take a photo
  • Draw something
  • Write a letter
I am going to be partaking in this challenge from today to the 28th December 2013 (so this will actually be days 13 through to 43). I will be taking a pictorial memorial every single day for that long; with some possible change ups if necessary. 


This photo features two of my best friends, Deanna and Zac. This was taken at the art show, when we decided to go for a walk around the wilderness close by. We found a beautiful lake and bridge and decided it was a good photo opportunity, and voila! 

This is Not a Book: Day 12

Wednesday 27th November 2013 - Day 12 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

'This is a playground' - Pages 34&35

Colour in the shape using the strangest method you can think of.


I used some good ol' yellow nail polish to colour this in! 'Yellow Mellow', I believed was one of the strangest things I could have used to colour in this weird shape - and I don't think that smell will ever fade. Like ever.

Tuesday, November 26, 2013

This is Not a Book: Day Eleven

Tuesday 26th November 2013 - Day 11 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Page 149 & 150
'This is mail.'

Here it has told me to cut out the next page which reads, 'this is not a book, this is a postcard' and send it to someone. So I decided to send this "postcard" to my sister in America, along with a drawing I drew of the two of us a couple days ago :)

Saturday, November 23, 2013

This is Not a Book: Day Ten

Sunday 24th November 2013 - Day Ten of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Page 153&154
'This is a form of movement'
Document some kind of movement here.

For this page, I grabbed a pen, put my music on and let my hand do whatever it wanted to. So I guess you could say I was documenting the movement of the music - that sounds a bit deep and philosophical. But, I am a very musical person. I have always enjoyed it, listening to it, playing it, dancing to it, exercising to it, creating art with it inspiring me. So I also thought this may be a good representation of who I am at the same time.
It basically turned out as a page of scribbles in purple ink, but you can see the type of music. There are spikes when the beat was powerful, the lines become more relaxed as the sway music of Michael Buble' and Frank Sinatra rings in my ears. The lines seem to have a sort of playful wonder about them as Louis Prima begins to sing with his fun and hilarious music and lyrics.
I enjoyed this one. It gave me another excuse to just sit and listen for a while. Sometimes we all need that.

This is Not a Book: Day Nine

Saturday 23rd November 2013 - Day nine of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Page 115&116
'This is a network.'
Create an arrangement of intersecting lines going every which way

I went a little nuts with the lines and colours :) I didn't want it structured or thought-out or anything like that. I just put a pen to the page and let it go! And this is the end result...

Friday, November 22, 2013

This is Not a Book: Day Eight

Friday November 22nd 2013 - Day Eight of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Pages 148
'This is a system. Choose one word from each page of this is not a book to form a very long sentence'

Inconvenience every disguise is a small thought and annoyance while choice permanently somehow can think water is a hunt you send far place interesting directions adding unknown recipients concealment hiding place to time as one random container is lost out of border embellishment find escape longest friends idea purpose investigating microorganisms your dare is find an map altering reality secret to things you create in space minutes is a moment in mission make things colour the direction you make dinner changes different customizable system mail a restricted movement describe dream if sounds sensory outlet three-dimensional for another puzzle create words as a declaration and mirror of found conundrum close eyes mystery parallel ink trap of landscape out impermanent motion spent experience privacy journey to reproduction puppet.

WHAT!? Haha, I have never read anything more nonsensical than the above! I found this ridiculous amusing and its hilarity is undeniable. Reproduction puppet gets me every time! Haha, in places, it doesn't seem to be too bad, even wise of philosophical - but then a random word comes along and completely changes the meaning into something utterly ridiculous. This was fun! I should do this with more books!  

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

This is Not a Book: Day Seven

Thursday 21st November 2013 - Day Seven of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Page 135&136
'This is an inventory of your things'
1. Make a list of some of the items you own
2. Beside each item put the quantity of items
(For this one I had to restrict it to my room, otherwise some may be embarrassingly monumental digits!)

BOOKS (reading books): 76
ELECTRONIC DEVICES: 7 (laptop, ps3, iPod, iPhone, DS, PSP, phone)

JEANS: 6
THINGS FROM TYPO: 13 (not as large as I was expecting honestly)
DRESSES: 21
PHOTOS: 36 (I have some of my favourites blue-tacked)

CANDLE HOLDERS: 4
OWLS: 3 (not real ones of course... I have loads more of those!)
POSTERS: 1 (Alice in Wonderland)
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: 3 (piano, guitar and clarinet)
BAGS: 30 (rough guess - most of these are tote bags, a couple overnight bags etc. I actually don't own a handbag)
PERFUMES: 2
P.J. BOTTOMS: 5 (best inventions ever!)
APPLE PRODUCTS: 2 (iPod and my new iPhone 5c)
JANE AUSTEN: 13 (that is, the things I have in my room associated with this author - books and movies mostly)

Well. That was interesting! It seems I have uncovered a few underlying and unrecognised issued associated with buying too much of one item! - Haha, don't we all!? ;P

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

This is Not a Book: Day Five

Monday 18th November: Day Five of THIS IS NOT A BOOK!

Page 43&44
'This is a set of directions'
1. Get a writing utensil (pen, pencil, etc.)
2. Choose a starting point
3. Draw a straight line in any direction; stop before you get to the edge of the page
4. Draw a curvy line in the opposite direction
5. Add a square. Colour it in.
6. From one of the corners of the square draw a dotted line on a diagonal, about two inches long
7. At the end of the dotted line draw a circle
8. Inside the circle write the name of the last person you spoke to
9. From the circle draw a line to one of the corners of the page
10. Fold the corner down and colour it in
11. From that corner draw a very fat line to the middle of the page
12. Draw the moon here
13. Sign your name

My weapon of choice was a fine-liner - probably not the best option I discovered afterward.
I made it a goal to make sure I did not read the next instruction until I had finished the one before - so it probably didn't turn out as pretty as it could have :P
Here is my finished creation... Lovely hey ;)

This is Not a Book: Day Four

Sunday November 17th 2013 - Day Four of THIS IS NOT A BOOK!
(And yes, it is being written up later due to a friend's bonfire I went to last night - I didn't get a chance do it all before I left and it was too late when I got home).

Page 193&194
'This is an accident'
Choose one of the following
1. Place a few drops of ink on the page and blow with a straw
2. Cut a bunch of small shapes out of coloured paper. Drop them onto the page and glue them where they land.
3. Place THIS IS NOT A BOOK on the floor and drop ink onto it while standing up.

For this day I chose to do option 1. I already owned some nice colourful ink from doing art at school during year 12, and working a lot with ink!
I didn't have a straw unfortunately, but I still blew on the ink to make it go every which way :)
I had blue, green, red and pink to work with :)

This is Not a Book: Day Three

Saturday 16th November 2013
Day Three of the THIS IS NOT A BOOK challenge!

Page 167 + 168
'This is a sculpture'
1. Using this page create a three-dimensional object. You may colour or alter the page any way you wish.
2. Exhibit it somewhere.

I think it's only fair to warn you that I do NOT practice in the ancient art, of origami... - so I chose the cliche of creating a wee box out of the paper.
I chose to exhibit it on my chest of drawers by the window. It's rather adorable. And goes with my blue room quite nicely!

This is Not a Book: Day Two

15th November, 2013. Day Two of the THIS IS NOT A BOOK challenge!

Page 79:
'This is a group activity'
1. Assemble a group of people
2. While standing, have a contest to see who can balance THIS IS NOT A BOOK on some part of their body (excluding the hands and head) for the longest period of time.
Alternative: While walking, place THIS IS NOT A BOOK, between your legs. See who can walk the farthest.

We decided on the former! Brenna, mother and I were losing consciousness and our boredom was inching to chronic. So, we opened to this page of THIS IS NOT A BOOK, hoping it would occupy us for some time.
Brenna: forearm - 16 seconds. (She got distracted while reading a text)
Mother: shoulder - 2 seconds.
Me: foot - 2 minutes (and my leg was beginning to hurt)

Obviously, this challenge failed to amuse us for more than just a couple of minutes.. However, it was still funny ;P

This is Not a Book: Day One

It is the 14th of November 2013 - This marks the end of the chapter of year 12 and the beginning of a new chapter in my life!
This new chapter, ironically, will begin with a book... Ironically again, named, 'THIS IS NOT A BOOK.'

Day One: Page 2&3
This is a recording device.
Record the events of your day in point form here:

  • Last year 12 exam ever! (Art: 9am-10:45am)
  • Olly Murs concert with the best friend
  • Brenna spending the night
  • Celebrating the completion of my schooling!! 
  • Unexpected twist! - We missed our train and had to stay in the Casino and wait for the first train the next morning at 6:12am. This meant no sleep, nothing to do and nowhere to go.. 

Make a mark for every time you enter a room:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| - 30

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

It's the Final Countdown!

Tomorrow is the day my 'THIS IS NOT A BOOK' journey of challenge, hilarity and fun begins. I gotta say, I am actually really looking forward to it. I have never done something like this before, and it is going to be a difficult task to accomplish I am sure :) Make sure you keep checking in to see how this adventure is going! I am sure it will be an entertaining endeavor ;P
I will try to post pictures of the things I do in reference to the book :)

Let the Adventure Begin!!

Well hey there fellow humans :) Just thought I would give you a little introduction into what this blog shall be about!
You see, I am a year 12 student, who will be completely finished my high schooling career this Thursday (14th of November 2013). I contemplated what one could possibly do with so much new free time on their hands, I mean that 6 hours a day, 5 days a week I no longer have to force myself to go to the establishment they call education!
With my soon new found freedom, I thought it would be a great idea to blog, and document my adventures past this point. I have decided to begin a journey with a gift - 'THIS IS NOT A BOOK' by Keri Smith, which was given to me this year for my 18th birthday. So the day I finish school, will be the day I begin this endeavor, or challenge if you will, to complete this book! It's 221 pages are full of incredible challenges and ideas to keep me occupied for 221 days :) I will be opening to a random page every single day and proceeding to complete whatever the page tells me to.
I thought this would be a fun and hilarious journey to embark on as I finish this chapter in my life :) I will also be documenting this adventure on instagram :) So follow me at little_miss_mikki to get some insight!
