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.

Happy Birthday My Melody by ~MagicalGirlYossy on deviantART

This past Saturday was her birthday~

How could I draw something for Hello Kitty but not for my favorite character?

(By the way, My Melody’s birthday came marked on the calendar I got for Christmas! )

In other news, today I will work on making my entry for the Sanrio Yummies Cooking Contest all spiffed up and presentable!

 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

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!

I know I have no hope of completing the Saving Christmas quest, but I’m taking hold of this opportunity nonetheless.  At last, I can travel to Paris and pay My Melody a visit!

Other players may laugh at my noobish apparel (still decked out in Florapolis garb, after all - not to mention my embarassing weapon.  Even though I bought the pretty flower wand, I’m 5 levels too low to equip it), but I braved the perils of the monsters between London and Paris in order to build up a collection of frilly pink screenshots!

BunnyWinx woke up as if in a dream… strangely, she was sitting on the beach and wearing only her underwear!  “Whoa… what’d I do last login?”

Not far from the beach was a new sight - not only were there holiday decorations all over, but Cinnamoroll was here!  He’s the initiator of the Christmas Event… looking at the quest requirements, I know there’s no way I’ll be able to come even close to completing this one.

DR. WILY’S MONSTERS ARE AFTER SANTA, WHAT?!  …Oh wait, that’s not what it says.   Still, that’s literally the thought that came to my head when I read this.  (And Wily has robots, not monsters…)

I really like seeing these trees.  The one with the pink bows is my favorite~

I just can’t get enough of seeing Chou-chou’s house!  I think it is my favorite location in the game~  The snowman and sled are a wonderful touch.

On my way to Paris, I came across some cute things.  I think this is the first I have seen of the Little Twin Stars in this game!

Omg, candy flowers!  They look good enough to eat~  Nom nom nom.

At last, I made it to Paris!  My first encounter is… Piano!!  Eee!  I love her, she has always been one of my favorite Sanrio characters.  Soooo pink and fluffy.

Her shop doesn’t exist yet, but it’s nice to know that we’ll be able to buy furniture for our homes~  Piano’s portrait is so adorable. ;~;

Random cute flowers and heart-topped banisters in the Louvre… I say the real Louvre ought to look like this, too.

Paris is so amazingly PINK!!  Pictures of My Melody are all over the place!

Bagle and Scone?!  These guys are everywhere!!

Had to screenshot this little area here… I wish I lived in a neighborhood comprised of houses that looked like giftboxes. ;~;

Some very very cute ornaments of only the two greatest characters ever adorning this building…  I wish I could see Melody’s parasol, but my inventory is in the way.

Melodeeeeeeeeee!!!   *worships*

Th-thank you… ;o;

Okay, Melody’s brother is ridiculously adorable.   This spot is very pretty, too…

I love this gazebo.  I want one!

 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!

This collection was put together with Scrapblog, which I discovered thanks to Ripplecloud!

If these pictures are too small to read, view it full-size on this page.

 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

Well, I tried out this Puricute place (Noliai mentioned it in an old blog post of hers) and cute-ified a picture of myself!

Yup, that’s me, guys! XD  With tons of added pinkness and sparkles, of course.

Hahaha, don’t worry, I’ll have better blog content coming up… I’d like to review the Tales of Symphonia sequel that was just released, and I always have a ton of art work to share.

These are from Hello Kitty’s birthday party!  It sure was… crowded!

*suffocates*

Well, that was a week ago… the big news nowadays is that HKO Founder’s Beta… has ended.   I have a lot of goals set for myself once the servers open up again.  Among them:

• /*/ Reach lvl20 so I can equip that Florapolis Wand I spent a lot of money on.
• /*/ Actually travel to Paris, so I can see my favorite Sanrio character, My Melody.  Yup… I didn’t pay her a single visit during FB.
• /*/ Try my hand at farming successfully.

Here’s hoping for Open Beta to start up soon!  Hopefully with a party system integrated, so I can help my friends (not to mention get help from my friends) in completing quests and things!

In the last minutes of FB, tons of people lined the beach at Sanrio Harbor, bidding Hello Kitty farewell… in our underwear!  Thanks for bringing Hello Kitty herself to come and say good-bye to us, Neverender!

The GM’s are telling us to keep the client installed, so I can’t wait to see what surprised they have in store for us before Open Beta rolls around!
