Anime Art I Love: Lump of Sugar

I recently found this art and I wanted to share with you all how much I love it!

This art is from Lump of Sugar, which is mainly an adult visual novel company. Even though I HATE hentai and things of that nature I really adore their art.  

Kawaii International's: The Sweet Life!

As I was browsing my fan page to see what I could blog about I ran into the status of Kawaii International's newest episode! It's all about the kawaii sweet life and holy cow I love what I'm seeing! Nothing makes me more excited than blogging about Japan, sweets and kawaii, so I'm super thrilled!

A Lolita's Dream Room

The Most Kawaii Room You'll Ever See! 

While I was surfing Tumblr I came across one of my old time favorite sweet lolita and sweets crafter, Sweetie Cakes. While I was poking around her various sites I found her Yaplog blog post of her kawaii room!

Can I say this is literally the SWEETEST room you ever seen?

I mean come on, what sweet lolita and kawaii enthusiast (like myself) wouldn't dream of having a room like this!

I can say the best part of the room is the incredible style and creativity! I love the prints on the walls, the bows and ribbons, and just all the cute miscellaneous items that are placed in such a perfect way!

If you want to see more of Sweetie Cakes adorable room you can go to her blog and see what a lolita's dream room is like!

The Money Idol Exchanger Game

Money Idol Exchanger is the newest puzzle game I brought from the Playstation Network on my PS3. It's an import from Japan and holy cow do I love it! When I first saw it, I wasn't exactly sure what to think, but after watching the trailer of it I was pretty hooked! The bright colors, the classic 90's style and the overly cute magical girl element really sucked me in. Upon playing the game though I found it to be a healthy challenge that off sets the cuteness.

Overall, love this game because of the cute design, great game play and challenge! I highly recommend it if you ever find it, you'll be just as addicted to it as I've gotten! You can read more about this game that is available on the PSN on monkeypawgames.com.

New Sweets Deco!

Hey everyone! （*＾ワ＾*）

I know, you probably think I fell off the earth the way I just bailed without warning! The truth is that life got SO crazy! It's been a very stressful winter for me and it totally ate into all of my creative endeavors. The most I've been doing with my time is my angel card business and even that has stopped me from getting super creative like I use too.

Since then however, things have been getting better. I'm starting to solely focus on myself instead of business and going back to all my old activities including sweets deco! I never forgot about my favorite past time, things just gotten complicated as all!   

I also want to thank all the people that subs my blog and likes my fanpage. I'm so forever in your debt, especially how I stopped updating both. Hopefully now, you'll see a lot more of me, even if it's roughly pictures only!

So to end it off, here is some old and new projects I'm currently working on. Enjoy! *blows kisses* ♡ ～(^з^)-☆

Free melty bow wallpapers and updates

Hey all long time no see!

Well, as you can tell I haven't done much on the crafting side of things at all. I haven't even brought anything for my crafts in months! This dry patch is mostly due to the hot weather and the fact my crafting space in the share kitchen have been ravaged from my dad's house projects. -__-0

The only thing I done was make a fairy kei styled cake that I never finished. I admit my morale with my sweets crafting hasn't been the best but my passion for it haven't went anywhere. This long absence only made me flesh out The Candy Sanctuary a bit more. One of my older ideas was actually making free wallpapers and graphics but I never got around to do it. However, I had a great strike of inspiration to make a melting bow wallpaper so I went for it! You can check them out on the bottom of this post!

Besides that I've been working a lot on my angel readings. I've been holding raffles for free angel readings that have been really helpful on getting the word out in the forum I'm in. I also got my first two sales a few weeks ago, I was so excited! I hope the sales pick up again! If you guys are interested in them you can check my blog and the social media sites my readings are on.

I also hurt my back a few weeks ago too and I'm still recovering from the constant soreness. I had to postpone the last big raffle and spend time off the computer since my back would ache. I'm feeling a lot better but again I still feel the soreness still so I'm hoping I'll recover completely soon!

Last thing is my wonderful wallpapers that I made a few days ago! I try to make the color schemes something that you all will enjoy like the super girly colors as well as cafe-ish colors. Each wallpaper have a small and large sizes so I can accommodate as many computers you all use as possible. :)

The melting bow wallpapers 

It took some tries to get the seamless dripping effect (since I made the bows a pattern in Photoshop) but I got it and was really excited! Also the bow sizes are different for some of the wallpapers.

I really enjoy doing these so I might focus on making more graphics since I'm not super productive in the crafting end of things. I would like your opinions on what you would like to see in the future. More sweets, Lolita, or fairy kei theme things? Would you all like to see backgrounds patterns and icons for your personal blogs, twitters, and such? If you have any ideas just let me know and I'll try to make it happen since I have more ideas on the way. :)

Okay I hope everyone is doing okay especially on the east coast after that quake was felt all over! I was scared s**tless when it happened ! XD I'm still very uneasy that I didn't even sleep last night.

Can't wait to hear and see from you all! Thanks for reading!

Three inspirational sweets deco den blogs

Hey all, I just wanted to show you my favorite deco den blogs. I bookmarked a lot of blogs over the year. Yet, there are a few that I love to look at for inspiration, ideas, and just to lift my mood. All three sites are in Japanese but have pictures and crafts that are just to die for! The colors and materials they use is nothing short of amazing and I would love to be as good as them one day!

The first blog is the one and only Sweets Circle! The number one reason I love this blog is not only the great fake sweets but the tutorials and advice given on them. When I first stumble upon this blog I was amazed at all the tutorials and tips this person gave you. A lot of which is hard to find since deco den not overly popular in the states yet. Time and time again I found this blog not just inspirational but very informative as well, my favorite combination in any blog!

Candy Colored Ticket is my most recent favorite! If you want to see great sweets deco den work with resin then this is your blog. It never cease to amaze me how wonderful and creative her work is. It really pushed me to work with resin and other materials along with clay. The way she uses the clear resin to show off the bright colorful sweets in her accessories is nothing short of amazing! I'm always excited to see what she makes next and I follow her on twitter for her updates. Unique, colorful, and sweet is just the tip of the ice berg with it comes to this blog. You will be on her site for hours on end looking at her creations!  

Last but definitely not least Rainbow Cream! If you love looking at those small realistic details in sweets deco then look no farther. This is by far one of my top 5 favorites! It combines everything that I want to see in my work, detail, realistic look, and drop dead color!  I didn't know such sweets deco exists till I saw this blog. The first time I saw the blog I was looking through it for hours, I couldn't even help myself, I just had to see more! The part that I love most about Rainbow Cream's work is the realistic detail in it. The ice creams looks amazingly good as well as everything else. I was floored to know that it was fake and it was possible to achieve that level of realism! This is definitely the type to level and skill I want to get to in my own work. Making my sweets as real as possible was always on top of my list since I first started. Now seeing this blog gave me even more inspiration and respect for the sweets deco craft. 

 Rainbow Cream also has a twitter which you can follow here.

This was just the few of the many sweets deco blogs that I love to look at. I hope that this will bring even more inspiration to your crafts as it did mine. Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a great day!

Earphones Sweets Deco Completed!

Okay this is the moment that we all been waiting for. My sweets deco earphones! These are the pictures that gotten my approval and are the best pictures that I took of them out of the MANY that I took. The pictures really speak for themselves so I hope your just as delighted to see them as I were through this whole process. Enjoy everyone! :)

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and talk about the "story" behind the pictures. It doesn't really relates to a character but me myself. I love fantasy, dreams, magic, sweets and anything that involves those subjects, its like coming home in a way. The thing about dreams and magic is that they always seem out of reach and far away by some means. Even though there are physical limitations you can still bring that energy here in the real world. I want my whole life to be enveloped with that magic and have that dream fantasy reality here, right now. One of the reasons why I'm so creative now is because I want to bring that magic energy down here in the real world that always seemed to be locked away in books and imagination. This is my personal way of bringing my home to this reality and journey. Life wasn't meant to be hard so when people stopped believing in magic, it surely did. The meaning of life (for me anyway) is to enjoy it and make it your mission to live it out exactly what you want it to be. No matter how stupid, impractical, or childish it may be, its yours and you deserve to live it the way YOU want to. Its probably why I am always stubborn and defiant towards life by social standards. Its engraved in my personally and can't stop that trait by any means, Its just who I am as a person haha. But getting back to the "story" my way of bringing that magic energy into my life and others is making sweets deco, drawing or anything I create with my hands and imagination. Its my passion and what keeps me going pretty much. :)

My sister took the pictures of me wearing the earphones and they came out so great. Special thanks to her!

I really hope this opens some imaginations out there and shows how magic is real out there, even if its in your imagination. Thanks for viewing guys!
