The pixel eggs have hatched today! You may notice that the egg design had a lot of influence over the hatchling~
If your egg hasn’t changed, refresh the page and it should show up 
The hatched pixels will be available for today only! Tomorrow the pixel eggs page will be removed from the site so make sure to get yours now

I received my seminar information from Interac the other day and I’ve read over it probably a dozen times by now – I’m so excited for it (and there is a ton of information to go over)! I’m really hoping I’ll be able to land a job interning as an ALT this fall. The seminar is on May 1st and seems pretty intense. I’ll have to attend an information session and take a grammar and personality test, among other things. The part I’m most concerned about is the demonstration lesson 
I guess it consists of putting together a mock lesson of up to six minutes long and presenting it to a ‘class’ while being recorded. The tape then gets sent on to potential employers in Japan. Sooo we’ll see how well I do with that! I think I’ll just need to practice a lot 
I have a couple more new Angelic Pretty images and dividers today!
I want to start adding more to the dollmaker soon – I haven’t really updated it in awhile. College has been busy lately though now that the year is coming to an end 
I had a math exam yesterday that was absolutely awful, math is my worst subject for sure. I found out I was accepted to the college I want to transfer to though, so I’ve just been setting that up in case the Japan internship doesn’t happen this fall. I have to plan for either outcome, but I’m really hoping I get the internship and spend fall semester in Japan 
Also I need to book a plane ticket for this summer so I can fly to the summer camp I’ll be working at from June-August. There’s so much going on 
I received my Liz Lisa spring/summer denim skirt in the mail yesterday though and that cheered me up. It’s so cute! I can’t wait to coordinate it, I think it can go with pretty much anything really.
 |
I feel like now I have enough of the ‘essential’ pieces from Liz Lisa that I can just add American brands into the mix but still have a sort of Liz Lisa look. I mean I’d love to have the whole spring/summer collection but that is definitely not possible 
Sorry for the huge gap in updates! I came down with a cold on Wednesday and have been feeling under the weather since then 
Yesterday was really nice outside though so I went shopping again and picked up some really cute tops from American Eagle and a skirt from Vanity 
 |
Also got a plain brown tee from TJ Maxx – I’ll probably go back and get more in different colors since they are great for layering and only about $6.00 – and some brown heels as well 
I’m wearing the tee in the photo below~

Apparently Angelic Pretty deco’d a car? Has anyone seen this? I think it looks really cute, wish there were closeups of it!
 |
I noticed I haven’t been adding much along the lines of graphics lately so last night I worked on getting some new Angelic Pretty images up
As well as some new backgrounds and gal style images.
That’s it for today, I need to get some last minute homework done now!!
Another giveaway today! This time it’s a small deco kit with some stickers, ribbons, rhinestones and pearls. As usual, first to comment wins the giveaway so even if you’re a new visitor please comment to win!

One of the few items from my Celga order I decided to keep was the skirt below 
The rest just didn’t fit the way I’d hoped so I had to sell them off
 |
I really like this skirt though! And there are shorts built in underneath so it doesn’t feel strange to wear something so short
 |
If you’re wondering what’s in my pocket, it’s my amigurumi! I love handmade amigurumi – wish I could make them myself! Unfortunately anything to do with sewing just isn’t for me. I’ll stick with clay
As for an outfit rundown, the top is from Sechuna, skirt and boots are from Liz Lisa (expect to see these boots a lot, I’m currently pretty obsessed with them 
) and the amigurumi is from an Etsy seller.

I’m thinking about getting my hair done soon, I haven’t dyed it in a really long time! I’d like to either get highlights or lowlights, or maybe even both 
We’ll see if I can afford it after I go shopping again this weekend and pay off some bills.
And lastly I just wanted to remind everyone that the pixel eggs will hatch April 4th!
I forgot how expensive shipping from Japan can be when you buy boots. Guess how much it will cost me.
$88.00 
But I want my boots so I’m forking it over. Was planning on buying from MAC when I got home but I don’t see that happening now. At least there’s only one more day until spring break 
I only have math tomorrow though so it won’t be a long day at all. I kind of already feel like I’m on break actually, which is probably why I crafted a bit today
I’m going to be making some deco’d mini hats soon since I was commissioned to make a couple, so I’ve been getting the materials and clay pieces together for them. If they turn out especially cute I might start making some for my shop
I’m getting really bored of my fall clothes, but I liked my outfit today so here’s a snap of it~
 |
I think I need to clean my mirror
It’s probably hard to tell, but the boots have a pretty high heel. One of my new years resolutions was to learn to walk in heels and these boots were the first heels I learned to walk in! I really love to wear heels now – they make almost any outfit look classier 
I finished the website layout for my sister and her husband yesterday and I guess it turned out okay? They like it a lot so I guess that’s all that matters 
It’s much different than my usual style since their business is going to be a sort of club with a cafe and gaming so of course my usual stuff wouldn’t fly haha Anyways when the website is all done I’ll post a link to it so you all can check it out!
Do you ever just daydream about the things you’d buy if you had more money? I’m sure most of you do 
Well, I made a little list:
1. Liz Lisa denim skirt in light blue & floral necklace in white
2. MAC lashes & lipglass & mascara
3. Spring dresses
It’s a bit shorter than I expected so maybe I’ll be able to afford it all sometime soon What are some of the things on your wishlist?
I just put up a new layout It’s much more simple than the older one but I like it~ I haven’t ever really added texture to any of my images but for this layout I decided to add a burlap texture to the header’s background and I love how it turned out! I’ll definitely be using textures for future projects.
Now that this layout is done I need to get started on a layout for my sister and her husband! They’re starting a business and so I offered to do the webdesigning for them. I guess we’ll see how well I can pull off a more ‘professional’ style of design
Only one more week until spring break I’m ridiculously excited for the break. I haven’t been home since mid January, which doesn’t sound like a long time, but it feels like it’s been forever. I think I got too used to all the breaks during November and December. And I just need a break from college after all the midterms. This next week is going to drag by I just know it. 
Note to self: before going home get all papers in order for internship in Japan! I want to get all the documents in asap!
Before I go, I have a special offer for readers! The iPhone case I listed at $39.00 yesterday is now marked down to $29.00 in the shop~
I added a bunch of new resources for you all today! I remember being new to shopping from Japan online and so I’ve added a page with some of my favorite Japanese online shops and auction categories. If there are any brands you’d like to see on that page just list them!
Also added a new Liz Lisa themed background and a new gal style images page based on Alison’s suggestion!
The shop has also been updated with Baby the Stars Shine Bright, Alice and the Pirates, and Angelic Pretty collages/wall art.
Just added a new Angelic Pretty image, it’s from the new Happy Garden series! I’ll be adding more AP images from this series as they are released.
Are there any other brands you’d like to see images from? Just post the URL and I’ll see what I can do!
The weather has been getting a little better around here lately and I’m loving it! There’s pretty much continuously been snow on the ground since November or so, and now it’s finally melting away ♥ And I’ll have Celga shipping out my Liz Lisa spring clothes sometime this week/early next week so maybe soon I’ll be able to wear them out! When I do I’ll be sure to post outfit rundowns and photos.
Something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile is randomly post small giveaway items so I’ll be starting that today! First to comment with their email will receive the following item:
Handmade marshmallow link bracelet
Please don’t be shy about posting! And if you are the first to post, check your inbox for an email from me requesting your address so I can mail the item to you.
And just to make this entry a little more interesting, a photo of my pin board~
I collect mini perfume samples so I had to put a few of those on there. I also keep most of my necklaces on there since I wear at least two everyday and I hate when they get tangled! I’m pretty sure all of them are from either American Eagle or Sechuna – they have the best necklaces. I also have a couple Imai Kira postcards since I love her art. The rest is just a bunch of random cute things, doodles, and handmade items.
Tomorrow I’ll be adding a few new items to the shop so check back!
Another quick post for today. Just wanted to let you all know that pixel eggs are now up! You can adopt as many as you like and they will ‘hatch’ into new pixels on Easter.
Click the image above to view and adopt some pixel eggs. Just make sure you don’t edit the code or save the pixel eggs to your own computer, otherwise they will not hatch.
Let me know what you think! And, as always, I’m open to suggestions!
One more thing, if anyone is interested in buying/ordering from Sechuna I know the Sechuna LJ community is hosting a group order. The deadline is February 28 though so hurry if you want to get an order in!
I was in the middle of an update yesterday when I started to feel sick so some of this is a day late. I think I might be coming down with a cold but I’m trying to rest it off in hopes that it doesn’t get worse. I’m pretty happy lately though because I found out a couple days ago that I was accepted for a summer camp counselor position. The summer camp is a couple hours away from New York so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to visit the city on my days off.
There are some new AP images up (a divider and two images)~
Also I have some new Angelic Pretty shop images for you all today. I love seeing the inside of their stores, the decorations are always so cute.
I bought a couple more things from Liz Lisa in preparation for spring! I think the skirt I bought is from their winter collection, but I plan on taking off the removable ribbon and pearl brooch and wearing it for spring.
And I bought this top in pink when I would have preferred white, but I found it on auction for 4,500yen (it usually retails for around 7,245yen) so I got it anyways. I don’t ever wear pink so let’s hope it still looks good!
Click here to check it out!
And finally here are just a couple more Liz Lisa auction highlights. Just to clarify, I’m not selling these items. I just try to find good deals on mBok and pass them on to you!
