Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating! It's a good thing this holiday lasts 8 days so you still have time hop on over to MarthaStewart.com for insructions and a printable template for this adorable paper dreidel box. Then fill it up with some fun little goodies to play dreidel with. So sweet!

Why oh why can't someone build me a portal to Japan so I can buy a new Japanese craft book every day? At least in the mean time we have eBay!

eBay seller pomadour24 has multiple copies of this book for sale plus lots of other Japanese craft books for sale.

Check out these teeny tiny plastic sweets sold by Etsy seller misssapporo. And what are these little cuties for you ask? As far as I can tell they were designed to drive me insane with jeaolusy that I can't own every single one of them. Ha! Seriously though. I believe they are from Japan and are used to make adorable kawaii "Fruits-style" jewelry, barrettes, etc.
