spring has...

sprung and wow it's lovely outside.
the trees are just so pretty and fluffy but with great weather come great pollen.  now granted i don't have the horrific allergies but i do have the classic "somethings in my eyes" and "why will my nose not stop running" complaints.  oh well it's a small price to pay for such great weather!

i'm super excited to be heading to the macon cherry blossom festival this weekend!!!  me and the old man will pack up the girls and head to the park. i'm hoping to get some great pictures of the girls modeling some of my new creations like this little number i just listed in my etsy shop.

i'm feeling good and looking forward to my next post of cherry blossoms and dolls, stay tuned.

i got...

for japan is very strong and my heart broke when i heard the news of the quake and tsunami. besides the money i will be donating on my own i will be giving 10% or more of the shop's sales to the red cross to help with the relief effort. i've been lucky enough to have been to japan twice and i have nothing but wonderful memories and love for the land and people of japan, so head on over to the shop to help the folks who inspire me and many others to bring kawaii to the masses!
