Hangin' out with the Torendi peeps...

It is THAT time of the year...when my schedule is super funky...we ended up going to see Avatar last night and didn't get home until after 10 pm. My man is a huge Sci-Fi fan, I tend to be a chick flick girl but I tell you...this is a good movie!! Anywho's we got home late and I hadn't started my blog post for today so I decided to just tackle it this morning...lots to tell and show so hang on....

Did you see the news over on the Torendi site???!!!!

Woot Woot!!!!!

I have been picked to be the Torendi CHA Employee!!!! Good grief, I am thrilled and cannot wait!!!!! This has definitely been an exciting week AND it isn't even Christmas....yet!

So Ladies.....Let me know if you are going to CHA and for my California blogging friends....let me know if you live close to Anaheim...I'd love to see ya!!!

It was only fitting to show a quick project that I did with the Kawaii rub ons that I bought from the Fabbie Torendi store!! First things first though....those rub ons are absolutely fantabulous...they go on like a DREAM and they are super thick....

Grrr....glass and foil chocolate wrappers are camera shy so it was difficult for me to get a good pic...my apologies.

Here is the Urban Dictionary's definition of Kawaii:

An adjective in Japanese meaning " pretty; cute; lovely; charming; dear; darling; pet" It's stem is two kanji meaning "can love". It is commonly used by anime and manga fans.

Me, I'm a huge fan of anything Kawaii...and let me tell you...there are huge amounts of Kawaii stuff out there...

This was made especially for the gal that recycles her coffee tins to me.

That little candy image was perfect-o, especially teamed up with Dilettante Chocolates. You'll be seeing more Kawaii projects from me as I'm hoping to do a bunch of them to give to my kids and cousins at our New Years Day festivities, Oshogatsu....dude, I'm so there for the food:)

An easy smeasy gift that I think turned out pretty kawaii:) There are sooooo many projects you can use the rub ons for...I can't wait to use more of them....more to come in a week or so:)

I wanted to end with some CRAKs that I've received:

Okay, Janice totally spoiled me with this card...check out the super fun paper she used....that's not all though...

I couldn't believe it....she sent me this adorable Hero Arts Owl stamp and gorgeous ribbon...some of you may know my obsession...I mean love for Owls....check it out...I gotta lotta owls in my collection but don't happen to have this sweet one...I've been eyeing it and woot woot for Janice for adding it to my stash....thanks Janice...excellent choice!

Next up is the super Piali...I know you know who she is...that girl is all over bloggie-land...check out the huge amounts of goodies she sent to me...good grief...

Her card is super delish...the great trees all nestled on my fav, kraft...but check out the acetate panel...genius I say, genius.

Next we have the super blog candy from Cheryl Nelson. I loved her 12 days of Christmas cards....I was totally stunned when I won one of the days...and check out how this woman slings out the blog candy:

Yes, do you see it...My Cute Stamps Owls!!! LOL...I just finished up being on the MCS DT but never got this set and it is PERFECT-O....I just found out that a former co-worker of mine is due in 2 months....Thanks so much for everything Cheryl!!!

You might recognize this next card...

Everybody knows Lauren and her love of pink and monstas!

Lookie, lookie what else that crazy girl sent me...

Yuppers...my very own mini pink tree!!!!!!!

I gasped when I opened up the box....it all started when I saw HER pink tree...if I remember correctly I sent her an email because my very tall noble had toppled over and not only scared me to pieces but there were ornament shards and needles all over the place...grrrr...I was telling her that I soooooo wanted to get a pink tree and quit the whole "real tree" thing but I was getting veto'd by my kids....well, after my tree fell over and I was grumbling when cleaning it up...I heard this tiny voice ask....does that mean you're going to buy a pink tree? Muwahahaha....Thanks Lauren....you rock my pink christmas world!

Oh boy you peeps are troopers...I end my post with this oh-so-sweet card that I received from Julia...

She even glitter up the star....soooooo stinkin' cute and really, one smart cookie...the card is absolutely USPS friendly...types the woman that spent over $40 at her local USPS sending out more Christmas cards...almost all of them went out for MORE than $0.44....the gal behind the counter wasn't too happy with me...anywho's....thanks Julia...I love it...I'm actually thinking of framing some of the cards that I've received and use them as holiday decorations...this would me one of them:)

Okie Dokie my friends....thanks so much for sticking till the end...I appreciate you stopping by and BTW, thanks to all of you for your kind words about my bro...We are super grateful that he is okay....

I'll be back tomorrow with my 365 Cards project....I hope that you'll pop by!
