July 25th 2010 (Sunday)
I was at a gathering buffet lunch with relatives. There were exchanges of gifts to the kids, sort of like Christmas!
The most surprising thing that we received - is a trinket that came with a Hello Kitty gift.
It is a Button Nose trinket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How
many years have Sanrio forgotten about Button Nose? With so many years
of disappointment, I never thought Button Nose had a chance to return.
Now, with Sanrio's 50th Anniversary bringing out all the characters, Button Nose re-appear!!!
Please, Sanrio, please please please make Button Nose items. I am sure she will be loved!!
~Princess Cookie Castle Decorating~December 25th 2010We decorated this castle on Christmas Day's afternoon.Everything in the Kit. Ready to go. No baking needed. (10)
In-progress. To do a better job with the icing, I use some plastic piping bags. I also made some white icing to add to the kit.
Done. I think it is pretty. I really like it!
December 24th 2010, 10am - This doll arrived at my door!!
I can't believe it. It arrived right before Christmas. What a fabulous Christmas gift for myself. Haha!!
This doll is made by Anna Chambers. It is her impression of My Melody.
It came from the Sanrio 50th Anniversary Art Show in L.A.
Much bigger and cuter than in photos, I am surprised and happy.

Sanrio Pop-Up Tour (USA)
To celebrate Sanrio's 50th anniversary, there is a Small Gift Mobile Pop-Up Shop Tour in the USA.
Starting
on October 23rd 2010, the tour launched in San Francisco. It will end
on December 10th in New York. It is essentially a truck bringing loads
of exclusive Kitty goods to sell, and Hello Kitty will appear for
photos. The merchandise are quite special and cute.
I am in
Canada and they are not visiting us here. Nor could I fly to these
pop-up tour locations. So wanted to go. Maybe another time.
