Happy Halloween Hello Kitty



OK, I will admit to being somewhat obsessed with Hello Kitty. I had to go back to L.A. last weekend for the Hello Kitty Halloween party at the Three Apples exhibit being held in honor of her 35th year. Super cute how she decorated her house, huh?


It is always exciting when Hello Kitty makes an appearance! She was escorted by her own security person. I love her outfit.

The pumpkin patch was adorable - so much fun to look at all the beautifully painted pumpkins!

Hello Kitty Three Apples Exhibition



I had a great time this weekend down in LA for the Three Apples exhibit in honor of Hello Kitty's 35th anniversary.



The exhibition includes product retrospective, Hello Kitty apartment installation, a special Hello Kitty shop with limited edition items, a cafe serving Hello Kitty themed food and an art show.

It's Me!

Thanks to Memories for Life Scrapbooks for hosting this week's EtsyBloggers blog carnival. Our topics to choose from were: 1) Show your face! I love to know the artist behind the work. Show us a picture of yourself and talk about your work, life...whatever. Interview yourself if you like. 2) Okay...so you don't want to show your face...show us your studio instead. Where do you create? Do you like it/want something different? What is your favorite part about where you create?


So, here I am!


This photo was taken right before a photoshoot for my gloves. The photo shoots are not my favorite thing to do, but I am trying to be cheerful here!



I love photo booths and pretty much never pass up an opportunity to drag someone in with me!

Can't wait to see what the other EtsyBloggers look like and where they create!

Missing Kitty


If you have a moment to say a little prayer for my kitty Preston please take a moment to wish for his safe return. He was supposed to have a vet appointment this afternoon for a hurt paw but somehow managed to sneak out unnoticed this morning and hasn't been seen since. My family and I are scouring the neighborhood and hoping he will turn up. Your kind thoughts for him are appreciated.
