Just a reminder to everyone, today is the last day to enter the Haiti Fundraiser/Bento Giveaway and is being hosted and sponsored by myself and Susan Yuen! I mentioned our brief appearance on KITV News This Morning yesterday, so here is the video for you all to watch:
We’ve raised over $550 in direct donations so far and $74 in pledges/comments, so we’re extremely happy with the turnout we’ve had. Thank you all so much for your generosity and good luck in the drawing!

You look great, very natural, and you do not have puffy eyes and elephant ears (at least that’s what I think you said in your previous post). And it’s awesome that you and Susan are doing this for Haiti!!

P.S. I liked your silent response when the interviewer said ‘the kids love this!’, hehe, I thought of your posts where you talked about your kids not liking your bento, haha.

Thanks Sarah, but credit goes to Susan! I’m just the host. :)
Thank you for offering such a wonderful prize to encourage people to help out with the Haiti relief efforts!
I have followed your website for a couple of years now and am constantly amazed by the adorable and delicious bento boxes you make. My husband and I are huge fans of LOST as well, so we really enjoy the LOST bento boxes as well. Keep up the great work, and thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks Lily!
OMg! You’re even more of a celebrity now–LOL! You did great. Besides being so tired, it must have been really nerve-wracking. Better you than me. Congrats on raising so much money for such a good cause. My brother in a missionary in Haiti and it’s bad. He said one problem is even just getting gas to be able to go deliver supplies to help.
