Hello Kitty's 40th Anniversary

In honor of Hello Kitty's 40th b-day my daughter and I have been having lots of fun attending different events.  Before I share a some pictures of them, I would to share with you two Hello Kitty themed items that I made for a friend.  One is a card

and the other one is a gift card holder.

Well two Saturdays ago  thanks to my hubby, son, and daughter we were able to go on the Hello Kitty Hungry Hunt.  There are a total of 11 places you can visit where you can get a HK pin with a purchase of a HK themed food product.  We spent all day doing the hunt because the lines were so long.  I couldn't believe there are so many people out there that like HK.  LOL!  While waiting in line at one of the bakeries I met some very nice ladies.  We came up with a brilliant idea to divide into groups to get the pins.  This idea was very successful in helping us collect the pins. Here is a picture of some of the pins

and some of my favorite HK themed foods/drink.  Isn't she cute?

Last weekend my daughter, my hubby's cousin and I went to HK CON.

We were there for 11 hours.  I can't believe that we lasted for that long.  Although there were lots of people we only had to wait an hour and a half for each activity that we want to do since we got there super early.
Here is a picture of the line of people at the entrance.

By the end of the 11 hours we went shopping the Pop Up store (which had all the exclusive HK CON products), went shopping at the Market Place (which had different vendors like Loungefly, Ty, etc), went to a fair sponsored by Target (where we played games and won $30 worth of products), took pictures with HK in two different outfits, did a sand art project together, took pictures with some cute murals and 3D items, and received lots of fun free products (HK pins, tatoos, stickers, and 3 bags.)  Basically with all the products that we got for free our tickets were paid for which is really cool.  Here are some pictures at HK CON (I took 300+ pictures so this is only a glimpse of everything.)

My favorite was going shopping, taking pictures with HK, and seeing all the cute stuff of HK.  My daughter loved taking pictures with HK and taking pictures of the ladies dress in HK outfits.  I purchased lots of fun products, but here are my favorites.

Thanks for taking time to read and look at my long post.  I hope that all of you will have a fun and relaxing Veteran's Day as we honor them.
