Kawaii Mini Memo Sheets

I explained in a previous blog entry about my new-found addiction to kawaii. Well, I'm showing off my very small collection, little by little. This post is all about the mini memos.

 

So. This is half the mini memo sheets...

...and this is the other half. What I have learned from my first few purchases of mini memo sheets? Well, I like the sweets ones and the San-x ones the best. In the future when I start buying whole memo pads, I'll know to buy mostly sweets and san-x.

And these little sheets are just adorable. Some of them look like coupons and money while others can be cut into tiny note cards! 

In conclusion, mini memo sheets are fun to collect and stare at. While I'm still pondering that scrapbook project that's moving much closer to the front of my mind these days, I'm thinking these will come in handy for that.

KAWAIIIIII ☆彡

Recently, I have a new addiction.

It isn't drugs. It isn't alcohol. It isn't bad reality television.

ITS ALL THINGS KAWAII.

What is kawaii? Well, technically its a word in Japanese that loosely means 'cute', though the true meaning goes beyond just 'cute'. For the purpose of this post, kawaii means cute.

Specifically, there are various companies in Japan that create these kawaii characters and slap them on just about everything, mass produce the products, and sell them pretty much everywhere in Japan. There are specialty stores even, such as the Rilakkuma store, that sell only products with the Rilakkuma character.

I use Rilakkuma as an example because it is my most favorite of all kawaii characters. If you're interested, I have a Tumblr dedicated to just Rilakkuma. Its called Rilakkumakuma

Beyond that, my addiction is mainly focused on stationary. On Etsy, there are various shops where you can buy loose memo page grab bags, sticker flake sacks, deco tape, and the list goes on. So far, I have indulged myself in memos, lettersets, stickers, and accidentally some deco tape.

At the moment, I have no idea what to do with my collection other than sit down every once in awhile and stare at the utter cuteness. Maybe one day I'll actually get to that scrapbook I've been wanting to make and use some of my kawaii collection to dress it up in. For now, I will continue to collect and become another victim of the kawaii craze.
