Many thanks to Chun for inviting and introducing me to Poupeegirl! Leave a comment if you’re interested in joining and I’ll invite you! We’ll each get an extra 30 ribbons!

Look at my current avatar and previous avatars (tiny back button):

Poupeegirl is a fashion brand community which allows you to customize your very cute Japanese avatar and also to post photos of your fashion buys, sorting them by brands and categories. The site is loosely translated to English which reads funny at times but all the better for the non-Japanese readers ya? v(^_^)v

Taking my mind off the books for a bit (cramming for tomorrow’s paper) and fulfilling 01/12 of 2008’s craft book reviews resolutions. Stitch idees vol. 5 has so many inspiring craft ideas in cross-stitch and embroidery, I could have scanned cover to cover! These are some of my favorites.

Here’s another piece of good news, the husband and I will be traveling to JAPAN next week for the first part of our honeymoon! Yes, it’s so exciting and I look forward to taking lots of photos, the onsen, Disneyland/sea, food and shopping, and bringing back some pretty Japanese fabrics for the shop!
