I just got in 2 more 2 tier bentos and 2 onigiri bentos, as well as the little utensil sets that fit in the top, some fishy sauce bottles, and 2 different onigiri molds, the traditional triangular kind and the tiny ones shaped like a heart, star, and bear. I also got these really cool straws from Japan. They are long enough to be used in a 20 oz bottle but they are bendy straws. They are even long enough to be used in the 32 oz Gatorade bottles. Anyway, still haven’t found my camera but as soon as I do I will post pictures.

Ok, this is really starting to chafe my ass. I really hate it when I get a tutorial for a really great looking tag and get all excited about making it only to fins that to make it look like it is supposed to I have to buy the tube and/or a scrap kit. I am not going to fork out money to make 1 freaking tag. It seems like all the tutorials now are just glorified adds for tubes and scrap kits. PLEASE, make tutorials with free images and then maybe show what can be done with the paid images.

Ok, I have gotten my very first bento. As soon as I can find my camera I will take a pic of it to post here. It is a small bento but I’ve found that amazingly it holds a decent amount of food, more than enough for a filling lunch. There is a store in San Fransisco that is opening an online store soon that has bento’s for $1.50! Granted you have to buy the bag and belt and any other accessory separately it is still a great deal. As soon as the shop goes online I will post more about it here. I have also placed an order with Asian Food Grocer and it should be in tomorrow (the 9th). On this first order I only ordered a few candies and some filled breads but if everything arrives safely I will order more because they have really good prices and a great selection. I really prefer to but from places that have a distribution point here in America as it saves TONS on shipping. I mean on the bento I ordered from Japan the shipping alone was over $11 which is quite a bit for such a small package where is the food from the Asian Food Grocer is being sent FedEx, is a rather large box, and it only cost less than $5 for shipping. With lower shipping I can buy more stuff and that makes me a happy Rayne! lol
