(Animated!) Droplet's Play Day

Hello everyone!

Today I would like to share with you an animation video I created on the application "Animation-ish".  "Animation-ish" is a program that allows you to create your own animation videos frame-by-frame.  This program literally makes your drawings come to life.  It's so simple and easy to use, so try it out!

The animation I created was based on my past post "Droplet's Play Day".  (To see the post "Droplet's Play Day" click here.)  In order to create this animation video, I had to draw out over 300 frames.  As you can tell, it took me quite some time to create this video, so I hope you like it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The video is a little fast, but I couldn't make it any slower.  Please understand.  Also, the video may take a few moments to load, so you may have to wait a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that was my video.  Once again thanks for watching, and try out "Animation-ish" if you have some time.

P.S. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should do this type of animation video again.  Tell me if I should or should not in the comment section.

Sweet Sunday: Chocolate Delights

Happy Sunday!

I hope your week went well.

This is a post that I created a while ago, but forgot to post.  

Anyway, (once again) my wonderful Aunty Donna and Janelle baked some chocolate treats for my family.  (Thank you!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chocolate cake= mmm, mmm, goodness

Droplet wants some of this chocolate cupcake!

Once again, thank you Aunty Donna and Janelle for always thinking of my family in a sweet way! :)

xoxo,

Julia

Baking Day: Brownies (Oven Vs. "Babycakes Cupcake Maker" Part 2)

Hello Friends,

As promised this is the continuation of my two part series, Baking Day: Brownies (Oven Vs. "Babycakes Cupcake Maker Part 1").  In part 1 I taught you how to make your own batch of brownies using "Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix", and I made two batches myself.  One with the oven and one with my "Babycakes Cupcake Maker".

In this next part of my brownie baking day, I got together a group of the finest judges in the business, who are experienced tasters and chefs.  They will be tasting both brownies and seeing which brownie they like better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please welcome...

 Chef Butler

 Chef Baxter

 Chef Droplet

 and Chef Berrington

Since dogs cannot eat chocolate, and therefore definitely not triple chocolate brownies, Buddy had to sit out on this one.  Sorry Buddy.

Today the judges will be tasting two different brownies: 

Oven brownies

"Babycakes" Brownies

The two competitors side-by-side

Each judge will receive one oven brownie, one "Babycakes" brownie, a plate, a fork, and a napkin.

 So get your tasting materials, and let's get started!

You know what they say, after play time comes clean-up!

Droplet's Christmas

Episode 3
Part 1
Droplet's Travels

 Yawn.  Oh, I think I heard the newspaper arrive.

 Hmmm...

"Sunday December 18, 2011"

DECEMBER?  I THOUGHT IT WAS AUGUST!

I need to catch up on the festivities!  I'll start off by getting a tree.

 Hello.  Can I reserve one of your trees?  Yup.  Uh-huh.  Thank you, bye!

...THERE'S NO MORE TREES!!!

Well, I'll just have to find a tree on my own. 

Away I go!

 Too big.

Too big...and too artificial.

 Too- wait, this isn't even a Christmas tree!

 Oh dear, where will I find a perfect tree?  Trees can't just magically fall from the sky!

 KA-THONK!!!

 OW!  You could've really injured me! 

For both of our safety, watch out you...

 Tree?

 Where did this come from?  Oh, it doesn't matter- I found the perfect tree!
Hip, hip, HOORAY!

Not too big, not too small, not TOO fake, just right. 

Now I can just sit back and relax.  And, let's get some TV going.

"Shop here today for all your Christmas gift needs!"

GROAN.

The End.
Droplet.

Droplet Cleans Up

Episode 2

Droplet's Travels

What a beautiful morning!  Let me take a fresh breath of air.

Sniff, sniff.  ah-AH-AH-CHOO!

Why is my nose so ticklish?
Oh my, what is this...?  DUST!

It's on the chairs too!

And even under the table!

I must do something about this dust!  It's a major health problem!
Time for BIG TIME CLEANING.

There must be some cleaning things in this storage closet.

Ah yes!  A broom and pan.

Doo-doo-doo.  Just sweepin', sweepin', sweepin'.

I've been working on the railroad, all the live long day...

Ew.  This carpet could use a good wash.

And these blankets too!

Uh-oh.  I need a bigger washing machine.

Ok blankies, take a good bath.

Drying time!

The table needs to be wiped immediately.

Now let's take a lookie in here.  Oh no!  All the food is spoiled.
Out they go.

And for the final touch, vacuuming.

Now look at this beauty!

I bet the value went up by thousands.

Sigh...the house looks great...

But now I'm stuck with all the trash!

Droplet.
