06.05.13 - Vacation/Birthday haul (Image Heavy)

OMG! I'm posting again! What's wrong with me?!? No, truth is I should be sleeping but I just can't. I just got home and it was a stressful day and I thought I'd blog a bit to feel better. 

Today was my first day back from vacation. I had a closing shift. It wouldn't be a problem if: #1) I wasn't the only one closing #2) I haven't had a closing shift in almost two months and forgot how to close *nods* <--so much fun! #3) We didn't have enough associates!

I thought it was quite funny that once I got to work, M.L. was like "OMG!!! Thank goodness you're here!!!!" O_O;; Apparently, me and her were the only scheduled supervisors to work that day! WHAT!? She opened and I had closing... My former manager [he finally got promoted to Assistant Store Manager!!!! YAY!!!] took over when M.L. and I were scheduled for lunches. 

Anyway, after M.L.'s exclamation, I was summoned by a customer for a "chat" which turned out to be a wonderfully long screamfest IN MY FACE!!!! -_-; Awesome. 

ANYWAY! Let's get on with happy stuff! :P MOST of the stuff I got for my birthday and my shopping trip with Bex.

10.12.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION: STICKER FLAKES!!!!

Gawds I felt like such an idiot when I was looking for my sticker flake post and couldn't find it. That's because I DIDN'T DO IT!!!! I already deleted it off the computer too -_-;

I was too lazy to switch cameras, so I used my SONY NEX-3 for these photos XD Maybe they'll be better quality? I didn't use the macro lens though, so they might not be that awesome ;) Also, I didn't put on the flash on this camera because honestly, I hate using the flash on this camera.

 I made the pix ginormous, so they'd be easier to see ;) As with my letter sets and such, I only like certain things: kawaii girlies/friends, skulls, cellphones (WHO KNOWS WHY!?), cutesy food items. I think I only like certain things for certain types of stationery. For letter sets, I'm more open, but for stickers...I'm quite picky ;P

10.09.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION: STICKERS!

How sad, this is the last of my collection ;__; Here are ALLL of my stickers! It's kind of scary how much I have -_-;

 One of the sticker flake sacks I forgot to post in the sticker flake post ;P

10.09.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION: Korean Stickers

All of these stickers were going to be used for journalling (lol! I think I've stopped that) and for my planner. They've all got daily activities or whatnot on them and they're so cute XD

10.09.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION: LETTER SETS

OMG! It's going to be the Letter Set entry!!! When I took these pictures, I was like...Didn't I used to have more? Yeah, USED to! I just remembered I sold/gave some away! X_x; Here we go!!! :P

As usual, if you want to see bigger pix, click on the image :)

The box I keep them in. It used to be FILLLLLEDDDDD until it was overflowing. Now it's just... almost full. Lol! On the left is my anime stationery AND BISEN. I wanted to take a pic of the regular letter sets and they got in the picture! tsk tsk! I think they wanted some attention too ;P 

10.08.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION PART IV: DECO TAPE

Deco tape is a recent love. Recent, meaning, about two years ago. All of the deco tape you see here were purchased about two years ago. I'm using them for packaging up items for my shop ^__^; So it's not just for decoration *cough* excuses... lol

This will be a very short entry as I don't have "a lot" and if I did, I can stack them up and take a picture so I don't need to take a billion photos...

 I don't know if this counts as deco tape. It's just regular cellophane tape in an adorable-as-hell dispenser. These dispensers are MINIATURE!

 My deco tape. I actually had more but I must've used it all up. I used to have a set of mini green designs [on the left, you see a set of pink designs), that's why I think I must've used them all up. I don't know if you can tell, but my fave deco tape themes are: SKULLS, cutesy food, and fancy designs ^_^; 

Some more MINIATURE deco tape in dispensers.

I'm falling asleep. I've already taken pictures of all my stationery, so I will post tomorrow my letter sets and stationery sheets.

10.08.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION PART III: ANIME STATIONERY & ETC

This time, I'm going to be posting my anime stationery and the stationery I'm using NOW. First, I'll post the latter ^_^

Right now, I'm using these letter sets and stickers. I still have a few people to write to (like 4?) and thought it would be better to switch off my stationery than use the same one. 

10.07.11 - STATIONERY COLLECTION PART II: Sanrio

Okay, I'm not a big Sanrio fan. Especially since I discovered San-X, Kamio Japan, CRUX, Q-Lia, and etc. But something about Sanrio brings out nostalgia.

My favorite Sanrio characters were Little Twin Stars and My Melody. If I had to choose, Little Twin Stars would definitely win over My Melody. You'll see in this collection, that it's MOSTLY Little Twin Stars.

All of these were purchased the most recent (from 4 years to a few months ago) because there's a store 20 minutes away. It's not a big store...but oh well :P

There was a set that included this tote bag, stickers, autograph book, sticker, pen, button, and a coin purse. 

10.07.11 - ♥ STATIONERY COLLECTION PART I: Memo pads & misc items ♥

I've been having some major female pains. I usually don't get them but for some reason they're pretty bad. So bad that I called in to work -_-; Bad, I know. But you must understand that on Fridays and Saturdays the other supervisors (I'm a supervisor) at work are EXTREMELY lazy because our department manager has his days off on these days. So, that means [I'M not lazy because I can't be!] I have to run around the whole department and our department is not small. :/ I didn't want to have to deal with that so... I called in.

I was talking to my friend Strawberry Milk and I was thinking about doing a kawaii stationery collection. I don't know if she's going to do it but I thought I would ;) 

I have a lot of stationery. That's because when I was in high school, I started to penpal. I had over 100 penpals and I didn't like writing on regular boring paper. I found kawaii stationery and started collecting them! So my collection is 10+ years old. Most of them were purchased when I moved to Chico. Chico is 3 hours away from where I used to live (we still have a house there) and my kawaii stationery mecca. I had no entertainment in Chico. I didn't drink, we didn't have TV, no internet, nothing. So, I wrote letters. I used to get 5 letters a week :) It was so much fun. I swapped FB's too. etc.... 

Anyway, whenever we would go to SF (to visit family or whatnot), I would stock up on stationery. Soon, my penpals started dwindling down and I would have no one to write to. So, I still have all that stationery @__@; *cough* 

OKAY! Let me go on with the collection. I'm going to start off with my memo pad collection. I don't really like memo pads/notebooks because I get bored of them easily. :P These were purchased about 7 years ago

Box o' memos
