I knew it had to be a reference to something but what? I didn’t have to wait long for an answer. When the girls and I made our way home on the second day a certain song started playing on the radio and it clicked!

The Fox (What Does the Fox Say) by Ylvis is horrible when you are just listening to it but so much fun if you watched the video! XD Needless to say my sibs and I have been having a lot of fun listening to this.

Have a look, take a listen, hope you find it funny too. :o)

Wow! Shojo fandom taken to the max! Great ideas!

I am thankful for my family who supported me through making the jump out of fast food into a job that pays a living wage. I am thankful for my siblings who are willing to lend a hand when I ask – and listen to me babble about cute crochet and Japan. :p I am thankful for those who supported my booth at Youmacon, those who’ve made me a better Etsian and for my blog followers . You guys really keep me thinking ahead so thank you. :3

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

My favorite would have to be the Ghost as it reminds me of a ghost I drew in one of my sketchbooks years ago and second would be the octopus but as everyone knows I like cute octopi. :> And horror of horrors – Luna just restocked the cute goldfish ami I really wanted! Nuuu… oh the cruelty!
