Happy Birthday, My New Friend!

Happy birthday to my new friend- Natasha!

I am so happy to know that you love what I have sent you,

and the parcel was finally arrived on time

before your birthday.

Wish you have a wonderful birthday this year,

and you know it is my real pleasure to prepare handmade gifts to you,

and I think this is a super successful one to me,

especially my sewing is just at a very preliminary level,

and my stitching is not really good.

However,

it is so great to know that you love them all. :)

I will post the presents here later.

Gift is on air!

My parcel to my secret partner has been set off today morning,
it really takes a long way from here to her hands.
However,
to my dear new friend,
I would like to say a Happy Birthday to you before you receive the parcel,
wish all your birthday wishes come true!
Although we don’t know each other before,
we will certainly be friends in the future.
It is delighted to prepare the gifts to celebrate your birthday,
I hope that all of them are good to you.
Hmm, let’s wait until you tell us you have received it!

I once thought that I would be the first one to send out b-gift,
I am finally told that there are several exchanges before me,
those posts really made me be more comfortable,
as long as I could see other's posts as example.
In this month,
(I have prepared these gifts for a month, wow, slow me!)
I am delighted to make every one of the items I sent out,
I really hope that YOU would love all of them!
Excited.......
how will my partner think when the parcel arrives?

Boxing Day

This year is a really different one to me,
I have received surprises much earlier than usual,
and the presents I received are beyond my expectation.
Talking on these surprises,
I must mention two of my friends- Miho and Yuko.
Miho’s present is a gift bottle,
it is a real message bottle waving up and down from US to Hong Kong,
it is full of US taste and lovely messages.
Thank you, Miho, for a long-journey present.


Yuko, she is a talented lady indeed.
Your presents mean so much to me ~~~
because I can feel your effort and wishes put onto every item inside the envelope;
you know, I have to hold it tight to bring it home when I got it from the mail box,
because it was a very large envelope.
She put so many items inside:
a set of beautifully DIY coasters made by herself especially for Christmas time,

some Japanese snacks she thinks good and would like to share with me,

a ZAKKA magazine because she knows that it must be useful for me when I have moved to a new flat;

some stamps as she knows I like stamping as well;

some small ornaments for DIY stuff;

a wonderful Christmas card;

her pretty and clever packaging of each item which I like so much;





and all her ideas placed into the present.
I really appreciate that she has put so many nice thoughts into the gift,
Yuko, it is very sweet and I have a wonderful Christmas with all the things you gave me.

This year, my brother also gave me a present
which I didn’t expect;

he has given me a box of huge rubbers.
What for?
Ooh, you must know it before I tell you.
Sum, I know that it was originally your idea to send me rubbers for making stamps,
thank you very much and I understand my brother would not be as thoughtful as you.

And, finally, I have a perfect bite on Samuel’s gift this year.
He knew that I have changed my taste from my favourite Tiramisu to Blueberry Cheese Cake.
One night, he brought me a different way back home not following the usual track,
he suddenly entered a Panash bakery

and took away together with him a large carton box,
I have never thought of what was inside that box—
a blueberry cheese cake.

We then rushed back home and have a try.
Though it was not as cold as what we have inside restaurant,
it is still delicious and tasty.
This is a nice treat to me, thank you my dearest.

All of the presents I received are too precious to me,
I will keep them in my heart.
