Peanut Butter Kisses

It looks like I forgot to post some of the stuff I’ve been making in the last few months. I’ve been adding the photos on my facebook but I haven’t been sharing. It’s been a busy crafty year!

I finally took the plunge and signed up for swaps on the craftster.org forum. I have done 3 so far & I just signed up for a 4^th one. They were Comics & Graphic Novel swap, Everything to do with Mario Bros. swap, and Coraline swap. I wasn’t happy with what I did for the Coraline swap.

On top of that I made a few Birthday gifts and 2 things for me. Right now, I’m working on a ton of Christmas gifts. I can post a few because either, my blog doesn’t get read by them or they already know what I’m making. That’s going to be for another post though.

I made 2 Adios Tokidoki etch glasses for Debra. I bought a few things for her from Comic Con but also added the glasses.

Meghan got a cross stitch that reads “Queen of the Kitchen” with crown. Metallic floss is a pain to work with.

For the Mario Bros Swap, I made my partner 2 Yoshi Egg etched glasses. I also included a tray with Baby Mario and Yoshi on it.

For myself, I hand carved a Totoro stamp. I love it! I made it because I read about letterboxing and want to try it. That’s my stamp to leave in books that I find. Now to make the time and hunt for some!

I re discovered my love for perler beads and the first thing I did was a bunch of Super Mario bad guys. You have Shy Guy, Boo, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Blooper, and Cheep-Cheep. Boo is made out of Glow in the Dark beads. I framed them and they will hang on my wall. Just need to figure out where.  

Now back to work I go!

Comic Con 4 days passes have completely sold out. I didn't even get a chance to buy one!!

So now, I have to stalk the site so I can get 4 single day passes but depending how much those total up, I might not even go. This is getting ridiculous!

4 months after Comic Con 2009 and they sell out??!! My god!!

Maybe we can Volunteer again.....?

Ugh, I forgot to check Comic Con site and just found out that 4 days passes with preview night are sold out!

Meh.

I'm going to buy my 4 day ticket with my next paycheck from the Academy. Oh, this sucks! But I guess it saves me an extra day on Hotel...?

Scratch that, pick up for badges with no preview night can only be done starting Thursday. I'm flying in Wednesday.

Now to wait for the stupid hotel lottery.

Meh.

Dear T-Mobile/Danger/Microsoft,

You guys need to get your SH!T together!! I can go with an hour or two without my sidekick functions.

Maybe a day.

BUT FOUR DAYS OF NO SERVICE IS FREAKING RIDICULOUS!!

The fact that you couldn’t send out a text message to your customers warning us of the issue at had. You wait for 2 days to get a message POSTED ON YOUR FORUM!!

You guys have no problems sending me a text when I’m past due on my payment or if I short change you by a dollar but you couldn’t send a text saying “Its not your phones. It’s Danger system.”

I had to go around and dig on the internet for information. I had to read it from other people, find out from friends, etc. I was lucky enough to find out before hand NOT to pull out the battery or do a reset. Not only is the service not working but the desktop interface isn’t as well.

All those people who pulled the batter/hard reset lost their contacts and e-mails. Since the phone can’t connect, it can’t re download anything. Again, a text would have prevented that.

It’s been FOUR DAYS and I have a paper weight!!

I think I’m more pissed off about the lack of customer service then not having a working phone.

I got a ticket for Jaywalking on Sunday!!

I went in today and the fine was $174!!

I got a ticket $174 dollar ticket for Jaywalking!!

Ugh!! Oh well... you live, you learn. I can't cry about it. It was bound to happen.

I was going to finally walk in front of a cop who actually cared.

By the way, DISNEYLAND!! You need to stop raising your prices. You continue to do so and I'll never been able to go at all. Your season pass is now in the 400 dollar range. At least take pity on me and let me do a payment plan. So what if I don't live in So Cal!!

New people and Viz are having a NANA showing tonight in celebration for the anime box set release.

They are showing the first eppy and the first movie tonight at 5pm. At 8pm, they will be playing the anime again and NANA 2.

I'm not off until 530pm so I'll be missing the first movie. I've seen it already and I love it. I wish I could catch it.

I haven't seent he 2nd film but I heard mix reviews about it. People were telling me it wasn't as good as the first one and when are sequels ever better?

I've only read the first 5 books and I'm waiting to see if Viz will release those in a hard cover set.

I wonder how much the Anime box set is. I want to get it.

I'm also going to go to back to BABY and see if they have any lucky packs left. The second job calls for a white blouse and I'm hoping the pack will have one I can use. Something not to frilly, lol!! If the jsk looks funny on me, I can always sell it online. If there are no more packs, I'll see what blouses they have I can work with. It's for the job and I need a white blouse so can't blame for spending! =) Besides, I've been looking everywhere and who knew a white would be hard to find. And the ones I did *find* were like 49+ so instead of buy at Banana Repbulic or GAP, I rather go to BABY.

I headed to the Baby store today to pick up their catalog. Looking through it, I came across this print:
