So Toronto got it’s first dusting of snow on Sunday and it’s been snowing on and off since then. Nothing serious like a snowstorm, but people will complain about it none the less, either it’s too much or it’s arrived too early. As for this blog author, I like it!

The town houses around here look so pretty with snow covered rooftops!

So related to my secret project I went and did a little shopping at the dollar store…

So as part of the project I need a box to hold money in. This one seemed like a good idea but then I realized that I need a box that I can lock. So I’ll have to find another one and come up with another use for this box. And here I thought I’d have a pretty, girly money box!

Lots of room to put money and…stuff!

Note to self: Pull feet in when taking photos lol…They really do sell pretty stuff at dollar stores. Now this box is for holding little decorations and decals that I had picked up.

My decals! No wonder scrapbooking is so popular, all the little embellishments for it are so dang cheap!

So I took another crack at making business cards and following Finni’s advice, added some artwork to the card design.

My college career officially on the 28th of August. I’m happy to say I passed the summer Chemistry course I was taking and passed nicely(Go me! Now just for the convocation ceremony!). In order to celebrate my family “forced” me to take a little shopping trip and buy whatever my heart desired. So I bought sketchbooks lots of sketchbooks!

Ever since about 2003 I’ve seen all kinds of photographs of people with anime figurines. Whether it was of a gundam or some other mecha or a full scale model of the popular moé character of the day, I always manged to find post-convention photos on people’s blogs or postings about new ones on sale at places like jlist. From that time on, I knew I just had to have one, but my biggest setback was usually the price. When you go though a little currency conversion from Yen to the Canadian dollar, these things could put you 100+ dollars in the hole and I’m just a humble college student! Then with anime north 2008 and fan expo 2008 I was even more determined to buy something, those adorable nendoroids and other figurines…I just knew I could give them a good home. But once again the price came and hit me upside the head. I saw an amazing Code Geass Knightmare frame at FanExpo but the vendor wanted 75 dollars for it. I guess it’s true some of these hobby shops jack up their prices during convention time…You know how they say good things come to those who wait? Well today my day came!
