According to the mysterious Random Number Generator from random.org, commenter #6 can call herself the lucky owner of some cute stationery. So congratulations Lu!

Please don’t feel bad if you didn’t win this time around. I’m planning on having a new giveaway soon, because it feels so good and I love reading your sweet comments. If you are badly in need of some stationery in the meantime, I can recommend these shops (or just do some “window shopping”, it is an economical crisis after all ):

• Artbox - lovely shop that offers Hello Kitty, Artbox, Cram Cream and more brands.
• Janetstore - huge collection of cute items for a very reasonable price.
• Japanese Gift Market - if you’re looking for Decole and Cram Cream goodies <3
• Phoophie - in this kawaii shop you can find Crux, San-X, Q-lia and much more.

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments ! It really brought tears to my eyes, but I get emotional quickly. Must be the female hormones. I don’t know about you, but the sight of baby animals or a sad storyline can leave me all teary-eyed. When I was younger I couldn’t understand why woman would cry over that, but nowadays I know it’s not under control

Lady commented on the neighbour story. I’m sorry to hear that there’s a car lot next to you now :(. I know there are guidelines concerning noise that you neighbours, even a business, have to stick to.
But luckily *thanks the universe after all* there will be an employement agency for 40+ aged people. Maybe they can help me by that time

I’m always joking a bit about the whole Secret movement, because it’s over the top. I don’t believe that someone who’s ill can just throw their medicines away as long as they have positive thoughts. It just doesn’t work that way. But the law of attraction thing isn’t new to me. I think that’s just a matter of thinking about something and someone will somehow pick it up.

Welcome back! This will be a short note to let you know that I’m back The site is not a 100% finished, but with all the deadlines in sight it could easily take a few more weeks. Because of this and the fact that I was already blogging here I decided to upload the updated content and layout anyhow. I hope you digg it ^_^

Working with the new version of Wordpress (2.7 that is) was a breeze. But I can’t say the same from moving this content from a subfolder to the root (O_o). I made two mistakes, and let this be a lesson to you  ;

• Adjusting the settings in the admin in the folder when I had already moved the content… Of course, the admin had also been moved…
• The .htaccess file wasn’t moved along, because this fellow is playing hide and seek (read:invisible) on my server. Now the permalinks weren’t working. But thanks to a Google search and my last working braincells, it’s up again.
• The uploaded images through Wordpress also didn’t show up, because they linked to the old directory. Even though I updated the setting I had to manually adjust the image links, but thankfully it weren’t many.

I’ll be updating soon, please feel free to read the earlier blog entries below
