Cherry Blossom Adventures

I came home from work today to find a wonderful package from Babs filled with the above goodies!!! It is a shame my photography skills don’t do it justice. But there was loads of cool craft stuff like cute material (My favourite has peas in a pod print), iron on patches, vintage trim, stuff to make jewellery, some beads, cool buttons, plus sweets (can’t wait to try those sour patch lollies!!!) local free newspapers from Babs town and even a Japanese one!! Plus a mixed cd and a cute badge and postcard from Haight Ashbury street in San Fransisco!! It is all such cute stuff that I am inspired to try and make something crafty this coming weekend! Thanks Babs, you were so much fun to swap with and I hope you like your package too!!!

I am loving swapping with people and am so glad I came across Gimmeyourstuff. After these current swaps are finished I am going to do one more with Delightful Jen and then stop for awhile because at the moment there are four packages on there way to me (YAY!) which means i have sent just as many! I love it though and after a couple of months break will get back into it. I will be looking for some people living in Europe to swap with.

In other package news, I have received two packages from my mum recently the first was filled with a gorgeous vintage style purple dress which I will probably wear to Taka’s (Shumpei’s brother) wedding. In there was also a lace pink and black singlet (very hard to explain will post a photo another time). It also had a book, some sweets for Shun & some chocolate for me. Then just on the weekend I got another package with a winter suit in it that mum had picked up as a bargain. It is so gorgeous and I can’t wait for it to get colder so i can wear it to work when I have meetings!!! Thanks Mum!

Yesterday i received my first package in the mail from Charlene in California via Gimmeyourstuff and it was so fantastic to get mail!!! I got some great magazines (including BUST a new favourite along with Aussie mag Frankie) and there was even a great local free paper called Cafe which was fantastic since when living in Australia i never paid any attention to free mags but i notice them all here in Tokyo so it was great to see some from other places!!! Also in the package was a handmade bag, stickers, chocolate, spices, postcards, dice lollipops (from VEGAS), some spices and a mix CD (Am also a huge fan of mix cd’s and it is already in my ipod under Charlene’s Calfifornia Mix)

Charlene went all out finding great stuff from California and surrounding areas, i just hope she enjoys my package as much as i enjoy hers!! Can’t wait to receive more in the mail and get ready for the rest of my swaps!!!
