Okay. Today is kind of different from what I normally talk about. But hey I'm chaotic and this is a creative way to get people active. 

   What comes to mind when you see, read, or hear about a 5k run? Well I know I get sleepy right away. Like OMG! Who would do that? Why? I can run when I want to but I'm not running anywhere. Haha. Maybe in my dreams. 

   What about a Color Run though? Anyone up for a Glow Run? WTH are those? Awesomeness that's what. Someone came up with creative as hell ways to get people on the move. No, you don't have to run. You can jog or walk. It's not timed. So who cares. These are meant to have FUN! 

   Color Run Is one I'm loving right now. Though I've never done one sadly. Though just by looking at it and the pictures and what not OMG! They even have a facebook page. Yes, I know almost everyone and anyone who is reading this right now has a facebook page. So yeah here is there facebook page: Color Run FB  Check it out. LOTS of pictures. They have them ALL over. It's like huge! 

   Glow Run Is another good one. I'm going to actually do this one. OMG!? I know right. Haha. It was either the Color Run or the Glow run. I was more for the Color Run but right now financial wise I can afford the Glow Run. However, I will be back for you Color Run! They also have a facebook page too: Glow Run FB Another must check out. 

   Now the Glow Runs don't seem to be as popular as the Color Runs? They don't have as many sites posted. I don't know. Maybe the just do less bigger ones? Though Color Run does Tours so...I don't know. They both look fun and something to do. You don't have to run. These are not timed events. At the finish line you have more fun! Like a little party. 

   You can go solo or with a friend or two. However if you plan to go have a party with your friends go in packs of 4. You can register as a group and you get a discount when you register. More fun for less! So if you can talk some friends from getting off their bums do it. Steal their game controls, paint brushes, or whatever and tell them they can get them back after the run. 

   Also there is no age requirement for these.  Anyone can go.  Get your kiddo in that walker or roll grandma out of bed and into the wheelchair! Make it a family event if you can. Don't forget to take pictures of your fun times! Then you show all your friends who didn't go what a hell of a time they missed out on! 

   So there ya go. That's my new thing. Haha. I've been working out lately to try and not be as lazy. Haha. So I figured why not have some fun with and do a run. That's what I found. Be chaotic while other are figuring the creative part out. Either way it's still Creative Chaos! 

   Today I feel like going off the path. We've all done it so whatever. I'll find my way back don't worry. I'm going to talk about another addiction I have beside crafting! 

                            ~ KAWAII ~

    If you have no idea what this stuff is then either 1.) You're a guy 2.) You are clueless let me bring you into the light or 3.) you do and don't care.....GET OFF MY BLOG! JK JK not seriously....Heehee

   I sadly had been living under a rock until last year beginning of February. I found out what kawaii was thanks to Swap-bot.  I <3 IT! I can not get enough of it! Total ADDICTION! 

   Kawaii means cute in Japanese. Though there is one thing you need to understand. Not everyone thinks cute the same way. Over in Japan they have Japanese brand kawaii but they also like American cute. Which to them is SpongeBob, MLP, Disney, Care Bears, and all that good stuff. Also Diddle. That's not the kawaii I swap. I swap the Japanese brand kawaii. 

* Mind Wave * Crux * Fortissimo * San -X * Kamio * Q-Lia * Sanrio * Pool Cool * and I'm sure there are new brands I've missed or old ones....

   Still confused? Fine. Then check out some of my favorite kawaii places to shop online. You've got KawaiiYa Then you've got KawaiiGifts  and Kawaii Shop Japan All places I have bought from. Some more then others. Don't forget you can check out Etsy too! 

   I love it all! I can not get enough. As a kid I loved stickers. I collected them.  Sadly I have no idea where my sticker collection is. It's gone missing over a couple moves T-T However, there is kawaii and kawaii stickers! OMG! Win win chicken dinner! You have your sticker flake sacks and your sticker sheets. There are different types of sack. Paper stickers. Just your plain flat paper flakes. Then you have the PVC ones. Which is showed below. Now they also have puffy flakes. 

   Depending on flake type and design you get  anywhere from 35 - 100 flakes.  Same with sheets. Depends on the sheet on how many sticker are on there.

   Sack ↑ Sheet ↓

   I love penpalling. So what better then to write one a lovely kawaii letter set!? Though I would recommend a kawaii letter pad if you have a pen pal where it will take more then 2 sheets to get out whatever you say. Though I've seen people use more then 2 sheets. Nothing wrong with that. Not my cup of tea though. That leaves extra envies with not letter paper to go inside T-T  So I use the letter pads for those moments. Letter sets come with anywhere from 2 - 6 designs. Depending on seller. You might get a bigger letter set. 40 - 50 sheets with envies or you may get a smaller set. 8 - 13 sheets with envies.

   Also You've got the mini memo pads! Who doesn't love mini versions of items? I know I do! I have a mini / tiny thing. If it's mini or tiny OMG! The cute factor just went +100 LOL I'll use those to write a very short note on to someone for a swap. Maybe put someones address on it then stick on an envie. Or just stash away if they are too cute to use. Mini memo pads will have 2 designs in them. 100 sheets 50 of each design is the norm.

   Don't forget the 4x6 memo pads. Those are great for leaving longer notes for people. Making bigger address labels for your mail. Grocery list. I like to use them to make kawaii slams as well. These pads will have anywhere from 6 to 8 designs. The about of memo sheets vary. 100 to 160 pages. 

    Also another love of mine! Deco tape. I have tons of mini rolls! A few large rolls and a hand full of medium roll! I could always use more though! You can use it to decorate so many things. Or to help close an envie. 

Small / Mini rolls ↓  These are like demos. You get a little but enough to want more.

Medium rolls ↓  You get way more then the minis and they last longer

Large rolls ↓ These have less deco tape but are wider. Cover more area.

   Don't forget about all the other kawaii goodies! Plushies, squishies, cell phone charms, key chains, Coin purses, book bags, totes, towels, folders, pens, pencils, erasers, pen cases, rulers, and SO many other things!
