Christmas Stocking of Kawaii Cuteness

Wow, it's apparently been a loooong while since I've posted here 
v(=∩_∩=)ﾌ


The last time was around Halloween - my second-favorite season, trumped by Christmas! And speaking of Christmas, that's what I'm here to write about today - some of the amazing stocking stuffers from my awesome hubby-bubby Rob ♥‿♥


So I'll start with photos and follow with the story:

In order from top:

When I was a little girl (about grade 6), I had one of the uber-popular Tamagotchi toys. I took care of that thing like there was no tomorrow, right down to waking up late-night or early morning when the thing beeped. I snuck it to school but when a teacher took it - later giving it back with a promise from me not to bring it to school - the poor thing died. And those late 90s/early 00s models didn't have the reset capability that today's models have. I was devastated at the time, and though still intrigued with the idea of "raising" another one, I didn't bother for a long time. 

Anyway, during a 2018 trip to Sunrise Records here in Bower Mall, I saw some on display and turned into a total fangirl! So Rob surprised me by putting a pink one in my stocking. I've since played with it and it died - the one above is a duplicate because I lent the original gift to a good friend, who in turn misplaced it and so I went to replace it recently at the Toys R Us in Bower (these buggers are still insanely popular and sell out quick)! Below is a video of me grieving for the original one [Rob got me for Christmas] during a family trip to Cancun:

And the following photos [above] are of some of those awesome cookies from Second Cup - a confectionary brand called A Couple of Squares - these particular sugar cookies in Christmas themes, such as a candy cane & hot chocolate, as well as a toque and mitt (so Canadian)! I adore these cookies mainly for their kawaii aesthetic and long shelf life. It's incredible that they're all hand-made! 





And speaking of...

Let's Laugh At A Terrible Video

So right now, there's this video on YouTube, about using fabric markers to put kawaii characters on clothes. Well, it's more about updating their brightness... and the camera angle is so painfully awkward, that the video is kind of hard to watch. Actually, the comments section is disabled!

Oh yeah... this is also a video of me, LOL. 

You can watch it here:

So, because I had the webcam attached to a hair accessary (I can't afford a Go-Pro camera, unless of course, you'd like to pledge at https://www.patreon.com/helpakawaiiartist) this video didn't show as much of the coloring-in job as initially hoped. Therefore, please enjoy the images below (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

This shirt is available at RedBubble

Okay, thanks for stopping laughing long enough to read this - muah! 

Cute and Practical Gifts

Hi everyone!

Hope you are well? (✿◠‿◠)


As you know, Rob & I were recently at The Market here in Red Deer. There was a lot of art available in a variety of popular formats, primarily coloring pages, fridge magnets, and greeting cards. The coolest thing about the greeting cards is that just recently, all 12 signs became available in birthday cards - so get that cute Cancer-crab a personalized card!

Each card has it's own personalized caption inside

Our table started out looking very nice at the beginning of the day. 

Then the rain came...

 Sadly, this meant that the items ended up spending the majority of the day, in shelter... and some even got wet! ಥ_ಥ

Now everything is in clear-out mode! The greeting cards are ALL now only $1 - this includes all the new astrology birthday cards, the original birthday cards, thank you cards and all Christmas card designs. They need to go!

The magnets are now all only 50c - hurry, because they are popular. Same goes for the coloring pages (3 kawaii styles and 2 sea-themed ones available); they are 50c and go quickly, so hurry.

The book marks are now gone.

These are a great idea for little thank you gifts, or 'just because' gifts... or heck, they can be add-ons to a gift basket or a fun treat for yourself! (●´ω｀●)


😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

In addition, the paintings are still for sale and received minimal water damage from that silly rain! Each of these painting was originally set at $40, but since the rain, you can have them for only $15 each. 

 




If you are in Red Deer, the transaction can be in person. If you are not in Red Deer, Alberta - then let me know and we can set up a transaction, specific to you, on Etsy 😍 


😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍


BONUS!

My husband Rob is a collector of some really cool local history books. They are coveted, and if you are interested in any of them, he will make you a deal. He also has some DVDs and a CD or 2 in this treasure trove. To get something cool and one-of-a-kind, email Rob at thebear104@hotmail.com to set up a time to come look :D





Thank you!
