Here is my entry for the Sanrio Yummies Cooking Contest event.  For details on the event, read the blog here: http://blog.hellokitty.com/sanrio_yummies

Now, try making these awesome cinnamon & cream cheese pastries!

If any of the images or text is too small, read it full-size here.

This recipe involves using an oven, so if any smaller folks are reading this, have help from a parent before you get to work. :3

I LOVE making these, and seeing the happy faces of my family members when they try some.  SPREAD THE LUV.

Today, I can share another of my Christmas gifts!

 I first learned about the Hello Kitty Hello World CD from this entry in the Hello Kitty World Blog, and have been looking for it ever since!  Thankfully, I have a wonderful little sweetheart who sent it to me as a Christmas present!  Thank you sooooo much, Aaron!

^ How very appropriate!

The songs are all very adorable (naturally!) and upbeat.  Guess what I’ve done for you guys!  You can sample my favorite tracks on this nifty little music player!

Pretty sweet, huh?

“Come On Come On” sounds like a Michelle Branch song to me~  Very upbeat and fun.

Every girl who listens to “I Smile” can’t help but think of their BFF and relate the lyrics to them~

And don’t you want to be that girl that “Sweeter Than Sweet” is about? <3

Merry Christmas, everybody!  Thought I’d share what I found under the tree!  There are a few more that I haven’t gotten pictures of yet, so a Part 2 entry is coming soon!

Pretty porcelain dollies!!   They are about 6 inches tall.  I love costumes like these!  The purple dress with lace and flowers all over is my favorite.

HOMG LOTS OF MAKEUP!!   This is a gift I was not expecting at all.  I had made a comment to my mom one day that if I ever had lots of money to spare some day, I would spend it on eye shadow in every color imaginable (I love matching makeup to my outfits~ and I have clothes in every color!).  She must have passed my wish along to Santa!  Thanks, Mom~!

Hahaha, this was sort of a joke gift from my uncle.  Old, bad cartoons and movies are like a weird hobby/thing that my family is into… and what could be a worse/better example than Speed Racer?  Nothing, I tell you!  I love watching this, lots of good laughs.   (This volume has episodes with titles like “The Great Car Wrestling Match” and “The Car with a Brain” - sounds like quality TV-watching to me!)

Hello Kitty ornaments!  Santa knows me so well!  I love the little hat that the one on the left is wearing, but the middle one is my favorite!   They’re ornaments, but I’m keeping them displayed in my room all year!

 UWAAAHH!!  Now every month I get a different adorable Hello Kitty scene to look at and admire!

This is how the calendar looks right now, hanging in my room… Can’t wait for the New Year, so I can turn the page and see next month’s cuteness! XD

That’s all for now, stay tuned!

How exciting!  HKO is opening again tomorrow, and its halls are decked!!  It’ll be fun playing again, and capturing tons more exclusive screenshots to share with everybody!

 And that’s not the only event happening in SanrioTown Land!  There’s a cooking contest going on, too!  I know just what to make, since I was planning on cooking up something sweet this Christmas anyway!  Hmm, I wonder how I’m going to implement a Hello Kitty theme into it, though?

In a completely unrelated subject, check out these awesome My Melody emoticons and icons that I found from a couple different places:

Look, here’s the Little Twin Stars, too!

Hello, beautiful people of SanrioTown!  Sorry for abandoning you all like that, especially after saying I was going to post more. ._.

 Happy holidays, everybody!!  This month’s downloads make me SUCH A HAPPY PERSON!! XD

 Firstly, the Charmmy Kitty wallpaper… FINALLY, a cute Charmmy wallpaper, I was so happy to see it!  So, it’s my desktop background right now… spreading pink holiday cheer to my family every time we see it (my 16-year-old brother doesn’t like it very much, though).

And secondly, AT LAST, My Melody desktop icons.  Forserious, I have waited so long. @_@  I’m hopefully getting a laptop for Christmas (likely an after-Christmas gift, depending on how my paychecks look…), and those icons will look great on my desktop once I have one all to myself.

I’m in a pink & Christmassy mood!  I’ve decorated my posting style on Gaia with the graphics added to SanrioTown for December. :3  A handful of people recognized Charmmy Kitty, which makes me happy. X3

Everywhere I look, generous Founders are writing help guides to aid their fellow SanrioTowners.  They’re all over the forums and in blogs.

Imagine the uber-helpful force we could create by pooling all of this information together!!  I implore everyone to contribute their tips and guides to the Hello Kitty Online Wiki.  It is empty right now, but we can fix that!!

I’ve also made a thread in the forum on the subject.

Please, give the Wiki a try!  There are so many people writing guides in their blogs, and so many people who would benefit from finding all the information in one organized place!

Download the game client if you haven’t yet!

Here’s how things are looking so far!

If you hunt down the music folder (Program Files > Sanrio Town > Hello Kitty Online Founder’s Beta > Music), you can listen to the songs in the game.  I like the one titled “Hello My Friend.” ♥

Can’t wait until Wednesday, guys, it’s gonna be magical!

Noliai has set up a chat room for SanrioTown users to hang out in and talk about whatever!  Just start it up, and keep the window open and maybe a fellow SanrioTowner will join you~

Join the chat here!

Read about it in the forum!

Next week will be very exciting for me~

But BunnyWinx, HKO doesn’t start until two weeks from now.  What could possibly happen between then and now that would be worth talking about?

Why, the release of Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility!  Maybe you’ve already read the brief description on my mainpage.  Anyway, to make my game experience even more fun, I’ll be writing little stories to go along with it~  I’m illustrating them, too!

It will be a lot of fun, but also time-consuming, so I’m cutting back on the reviews I’ve been doing for the past month or so.  I hope that I was able to introduce other SanrioTown members to some enjoyable Web sites and games!  (That was the whole idea, after all!)

Tree of Tranquility will be available next Wednesday, so give me a day or two to play it a little, then a day or two more to start constructing a story out of my experience.  The result is going to be so much fun!  Look forward to it!

I had no idea that my blog was featured as SanrioTown’s Blog of the Week!! Way past cool!

I feel totally lame now! More traffic is coming to my blog, but I don’t really have any interesting content here!

So… I’ve revamped the main page and made it easier to navigate through. I don’t know how much of a difference it makes to visitors, but it feels better to me now! I also added a button for my SheezyArt gallery.

I hope you enjoy the new look!
