Don't you just love the Momiji stuff? So cute and colorful and kind of childish in all the best ways. I got this mug from my good friend Nicole and it made it all the way from Germany in one piece. Yay!

A colorful explosion in a box!

happy mail day!

I received this amazing package of goodies from the wonderful FuzzyStuffies aka TheFruitySalad this past weekend! After a few crappy days involving a personal matter, this really wonderful package made my whole weekend a lot brighter and less gray!
The amigurumi's are handmade, the deer (Lou - named that way because he's blue and looks like he could be deery lou's brother) was made for me as a RAK and the little octupus (whom we now call Octavia :) was sent along for my boyfriend! Aren't they SO well made? Lou can even stand on his own :D Everything is totally tailored to my likes and receiving packages like this reminds me why I love Swap Bot so much! Through it I've met many wonderful people like Olivia! Thank you again my dear! Big hugs!!

Oh and if you like that little box pouch which is also handmade (and sent to me for a Tag at swapbot) check out her Etsy store LittleWhimseys :D

Springtime mail

A fun springtime swap that really brightened my day from my good friend Shanda. Lots of pretty items! And I got some US candies too… mmmmmmmmm. Gotta love those sour patch gummies. Why not send a friend a spring package? Getting sunshine in the mail is lovely.

Happy mail indeed!

Look at these wonderful goodies I got in the mail. They arrived just in time to save my day – it wasn’t a very good one. But a package like this can really brighten any day. Yummy tea, lip balm, stamps, masking tape, a wonderful book with stickers/labels and an awesome tin house (lantern). All the way from a good friend in Germany! Thank you so much Nicole!
