UPDATE


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO:
Something original, colorful, and you and how you feel about Imperfect Kawaii :]

NO NO's:
-Sadly no clay creations! In Imperfect Kawaii, we look up to fellow polymer clay users and adore their creations...but we want to see what else you can do ^_^
-No nudity
-No profanity
-No hate (why would you even browse our shop if you did O_O; )

Uber Shimmery Hello Cherry Ring!!!

I love this riiiing!!! It's so sparkly and glittery ^__^The Hello Kitty head is pretty big too! So get your ring today! They come in other colors too so you can get your most fave color, or collect them all to match with all your outfits ^___^ teehee.

Other than that news, my friend told me I should join Live Journal again, but no worries, it'll be the same kinda info from Blogspot, so all you blogspotters won't miss a thing ^.^! I promise! Another news...it's almost going to be 1 year since I started Imperfect Kawaii! ^__^ hooray! I thank my friends for being so supported and telling me to keep making charms. I'm surprised I have stuck through this hobby all the way, but hey, I do love creating what I make and having people buy them or asking for customs, it makes me pretty happy too =] It keeps me going at this little hobby. As for the 1yr anny, I don't think I'll celebrate it TOO big...dunno yet what to do. I've been pretty busy with school, so I'm juggling it all out. I will do something, no worries! So stay tune ^___^

ONE MORE THING, lol. I'm almost at 100 sales at Etsy! I'm still thinking about what to give to Mister or Miss 100th customer on there :] Visit my shop on Etsy!!! www.princesschibi.etsy.com

Or, you can go to my official shop on MySpace.com/imperfect_kawaii, but there's no 100th thingy there :3 puwahaha. On MySpace I've sold over 200+ for local and just that shop.

Hope you all are snuggly warm! It's so cold now in Cali T_T

My Dream House

My boyfriend and I have had this discussion several times before. My plan is, after I become LVN, work for 2 yrs, buy my mommy a nice house, go back to school for RN, and finally be done with school, I want to buy a nice simple cozy house for me and hopefully hubby xD We plan after I finish buying my mom a house, that me and him shall save up together for a place of our own, and puppy ^___^!

Okie! Enuff of the seriousness! Heehee, now onto the dreeeeam house! We were discussing more of the interior while we were eating at the Old Spaghetti Factory (check out on image google! You'll be amazed of their interior!). Also, that time (which is this month), I was packing some things up in the house because my fam and I are moving, my room mate grandma gave me a reaaally vintage phone! We were having a yard sale, but oh my goodness, I could not resist!

It looks exactly like the picture above! Weird I found this on google image on the 1st page! Same design, except the dial thingy is the classic circular dial ^___^ OF COURSE I KEPT IT! It's so cool! Luckily my boyfriend was fine with this ^.^! So we've decided that we'll have a Rococo style for our house's walls and furniture ^___^



But there's a twist of course ;] Most of our appliances are going to be Hello Kitty :D!!! My boyfriend sighed and says he'll be in Hello Kitty Hell big time xD! We're also going to have our Tokidoki vinyls and various Kidrobot vinyls too ^___^! We hope to have 4 bedrooms so one will be ours, two for kids, and one for half his studio (he wants to be a storyboard artist and needs that kinda desk) and half for my crap ^_^

As for myself, I want to work as a RN 3-4 days a week (that's how the schedule goes), be a great smexy wifey, a fab mommy, and still continue Imperfect Kawaii (maybe not as much, but will explode every season or so, haha...probably what I'm doing now). Also, I'll be preparing my hubby's lunch in a big Hello Kitty bento head xD! He's like," she's gonna be everywhere! On my food too!" Yea, this whole dream is a big stretch, but we've kept a pretty good promise to both finish school and save up ^___^ It's definitely a dream you have to work for :D


Chibi

p.s. If any photos belong to someone, let me know or give a shout out on the commento ^_^ Not a mean shout out :O Just like,"that's miiiiine! right there! yay!". Thankies-sai! =^_^=

Wowwie!!!!

I haven't blogged in awhile! Well, Finals are over! Sadly, I didn't make it into the LVN program because I didn't feel enthusiastic after one of my friend kinda abandon me and around that time one of my uncle passed away T~T so yea, lots of emotions floated around my mind and I lost energy. I was like Acing everything in the beginning, until my friend dropped a bombshell on me. Okies! Enuff of that!

Sooo...I'm pretty busy after the finals...I had to wrap my mommy's presents that she bought for people, 62 of them!!! Eep! I have yet to wrap mines ^_^; And, I have lots of charm customs to do and one decoden project ^___^ yep! omg, and also prepare for my birthday O____O

I'm making some changes xD I've already added little notes on the main shop on MySpace like what the items are and what not on their albums ^__^ On Etsy, I updated my policies O.O yea...better read that! Annnnd I has a new banner and avatar. Now, lookie what I made last week :D




There will be more cuppycake necklaces coming out next year ;]

DOLLAR OFF SALE!!!

on selected items. On Etsy it will have a "SALE" in front of the item's name, and on MySpace a "*" sign. When I re-open my shop after vacation, I won't do monthly promos xD maybe small ones here and there since I can't make up my mind! ah!!! I need to start emptying out my Imperfect Kawaii storage for new stuff that I'm making. I am currently making some more charms, secret secret, of what they are....and yea, need room x]

Last week I finally got up a Facebook for the shop, yay! I'm treating it more of a fanpage than a shop. I already have MySpace, locals, and Etsy on my hands.

As for school life, I am currently one of the top students in the class, just that one class...who knows about the other classes. Heehee, but thankfully the teacher said pts will change since some people have weakneses in speech ^_^! YES! Sad...I know. I wish to make friends, but it's uber competitive =[

Socially, I see my friends time to time, maybe every other week. It seems like it, lol. I see my boyfriend like half a day and hopefully fridays. X_X I wish the economy was better so he can get a job easily. :D I love him so muchy! He's super supportive and believes I'll make it into LVN! Pray to GOD I do ;__;

Okie! So...if you like Hello Kitty and you remember my earrings, they're a Dollar Off!!! but till how long...? puwahahaha! I dunno o_O

Mz. Leakhena's Giveaway

I'd like to present my other big, sophisticated elegant cute, sister shop Leakhena! She's a powerful seller on Etsy and she's doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY in celebration of 300 sells! Yay! Her giveaway theme is of Hello Kitty ^___^ Here's the linkage to her blogger and to enter for a chance to win one of these cool prizes:

Enjoy the music aswell ^___^

Goodluck!

Sweetember!

I've decided to make a special special every month, nothing TOO big unless it's a very special ocassion ^__^ This month's special is BUY 3 AND GET FREE SHIPPING! at any IK store [etsy or myspace]. I've also added some new earrings to my shops ^__^ yay! They're Hello Kitty B Graded, totally imperfect but...cute xD haha. And then there's the awesome Keroppi!







I'd also like to mention that I plan to go on vacation inactive mode in December due to finals [it's all or nothing!]. I shall re-open the shops after New Years and explode with different items~! yay! So far on my list while in school, I have several charms to release!

As for school so far, only 40 of us out of 200 will be chosen to be in the LVN program. It's for those who score really high in the class. Oooh, pray I get in T__T I have to be working my big booty off this time since I kinda slack for pre-reqs for RN, but hey, this is truly a good idea to get into this pre-req for LVN, cause now I'll be more focus fersure and serious about my school. Most of all, I'm doing it for myself instead of my mommy. So this is what my typical days would look like:

Monday- school, study
Tues- study, 1-2hr of charm stuff, study, maybe get ice cream?
Wed- school, homework, sleeeeep unless bf comes xD
Thur-study, 1-2hr of work, study, stuff, study
Fri-study, 1-2hr of work, study, and bf day!
Sat-study, 1-2hr of work, study, and if anything planned with friends or whatever.
Sun-study, study, study, and bf comes :D

Sooo yea...that's my life...mostly studying everyday, probably wednesday I'd study lightly and then relax. So yea, I'll still be doing my shop stuff, but not too much like usual in the summer. During winter break I'll be working on a lot on charms cause it will be 1yr for Imperfect Kawaii and gotta get back to what I sold before ^___^!

Ciao ciao<3

Swap Party

This isn't a very Etsy or seller related topic, but I thought I'd share it. I held a swap party last weekend with some chick friends ^__^ The goal was to clean out our rooms and bring any stuff that is in good condition and you didn't need. It could be clothes, accessories, whatever. So the girls came and we had some snacks. We piled all the stuff unto a table and just grabbed whatever we wanted =] It was neat! I got some cool earrings a friend didn't want, and I plan to wamp it up to sale. She knows my motives xD Atleast it's going to be put in good use! I also got these cute jumbo nerdy glasses and a Hello Kitty shirt! I think anyone who needs to get rid of stuff they don't need, a swap party is an awesome way to get rid of things! heehee, you give some, you get some ^__^

On another note, I'm sad my boyfriend is leaving me for Mexico for a family vacation xD I'm such a selfish girl! I haven't been not calling, txting, seeing him like crazy for the past week or two,lol. He leaves next Thursday. He sucks.

Better happy note, I made Hello Kitty earrings! I'll have more made during school time. But these are my only ones so far:

My Hello Kitty Sidekick~!

I decorated my phone like around April ^_^ It took me 4 long hours =___= but it was worth it ^__^ heehee, I have too many Hello Kitty in my purse and in my room xD Too many but not enuff! lol. Sooo yea, this is the first thing I ever decoden. How I found out about decoden? Well, I ordered off of eBAY this Hello Kitty magazine because it had Tokidoki in it too xD When I got the magazine, I schemed through it and looked at all the piccys [it was in Japanese], and I stumbled upon this cell phone add of Chiara and saw that the girls were decorating their phone with pearls, rhine stones, Hello Kitty cabochons, etc. I was like woah! I must have this Chiara product! I looked in Sanrio stores and they only have like 5 pieces for $7.00...my bf said to find something else xD I went to this lil Jap store in the mall that's all about glam, and they had Chiara stuff...it was puuurdy pricey for only a lil bit. Then I went and researched about Decoden and found diff sellers and such ^___^ so yay! And I was happy to find out that you can even make your own decoden stuff with just clay. I've just ordered some deco goodies today :] can't wait to decorate another changable shell for my phone! woohoo!!!
