International Friends!

Posted on January 12, 2013 by fluffyghost| 3 Comments

Hey all!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far…

Since starting Fluffyghost one of my all time favourite things I have enjoyed the most via this website is the connections I have made with people who share the same passion as me for kawaii around the world.

It helps open your eyes to culture, friendship and of course more kawaii that you might not have been able to locate or have known.

I’ve been lucky to share swapping experiences with these lovely ladies and be included in the care package network (as I like to think of it).  You just can’t beat coming home to a super cute parcel when you’ve had a rather crappy day, as it really goes to show that someone on the other side of the world really does give a damn about your well-being… and that feeling just cannot be beaten!

So here is a what I was blessed to receive this year for Christmas from the most awesome ladies ever:

I am truly grateful to have such awesome international friends. Getting to know you all, exchanging parcels and just the kawaii community in general always brightens up my day. 
I hope to one day meet you all in the flesh.

I would just like to add also that there are a few more parcels that should have been included in this post but I just can’t seem to locate the photos on my computer. But you lovely ladies know who you are and how thankful to your friendship I am.

Well thats enough of me being gushy on the internet for one day haha!
Im off to see Les Mis in the cinema.

Take care,

Happy 2013!

Posted on January 2, 2013 by fluffyghost| 2 Comments

Happy 2013 everyone! May you have a very prosperous new year in all your future adventures.

I’ve been thinking about what I would like to do for some of my new year resolutions… One of them being that I would like to get back into being a serious blogger once more. As I have settled into my new life style I believe that I can handle running Fluffyghost with ease. But this time more for pleasure and hobby then a chore.

That means lots of personal posts again, as I have tons of photos just waiting to be upload here! 

So Christmas was fantastic, lots of friends, family and of course kawaii. Heres a sneak peak of a few of my decorations and lovely gifts I was lucky to receive:

San-x, Sanrio, anime, games, Lolita and a traditional Japanese leather school bag make me a very happy bunny indeed! I’ve been eyeing up that bag like a perv for  such a long time too & now it is mine muahahaha! >:D

It was  also great to be able to enjoy all the festive activities on the run up to Christmas too with the people I love. 

Anway hoo’s Happy New Year everyone! Lets welcome it all in together.

Birthday Goodness!

Posted on July 9, 2012 by fluffyghost| 7 Comments

Hey all!

On Saturday I turned 20, no longer a teenager! Gosh…

Doesn’t feel any different though I must admit.

I had a really awesome lazy day. Going out to eat, playing my games, having my partner be my butler for a day haaha. Was pretty damn good doing nothing. As I couldn’t be bothered to have the pressure to have to do something. Plus this is the 4th year it has rained on my birthday! This being the first it hasn’t mattered!

Soo yay!

*Be warned this post is going to be very photo heavy!*

I was truly spoilt! I want to thank family and friends for making my day so special and for all of you’re stunning gifts you gave me & for those to come also!

It’s days like this when you can’t help but know your loved and by whom.

Wouldn’t trade that serenity for all the money in the world. 

Well there we have it! I’m getting old!! :O

Haha, well take care see you all soon!

The Most Adorable Swaps! Part 2.

Posted on July 4, 2012 by fluffyghost| 3 Comments

Hey!

So onward with part 2 of this post.

I was super excited to be swapping with Carmie from Flickr again as she knows my kawaii taste very well.

So heres the parcel:

I love it when people draw and decorate there parcels. It just brightens up your post you know? She also drew the cutest bunny girl on the back, but I didn’t take a photo.

It was like a kawaii anime paradise when I opened up this parcel.  From Hamtaro, PreCure, Ruby from Jewel Pets, Totoro & Pikachu! I am a very happy bunny!

Aswell as Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma, Sugarbunnies and tons of kawaii knick knacks. I really love Carmies accessories too. She picks out the cutest of jewellery as well as making some. I have been truly spoilt! She also got the Lolita Hello Kitty, Ruby drawstring bag & tumbler especially made for me!

There is not a single item I do not like or am not to fond of. You know you have an awesome swapper when this is the case!

I really feel so blessed to be doing swaps like these. I remember when I first started out, seeing swaps like these was like a dream come true. And it still feels like that these days to. I would spend hours searching the net and staring at photos on Flickr, wishing that I could somehow participate! I must admit it takes some time to build up your reputation and you have to sieve out all the flakers. I have been flaked a total of 3 times and the feeling sucks so much! But once you meet some great people world-wide who wants to trade and respects the process of swaps it becomes very rewarding! It’s amazing that from a simple exchange you can brighten up someones day and make them happy.

So there we have it! Another successful swap. Stay tune for the photos of the swaps I’ve sent. I never upload any before the person gets it. Would hate to be a spoiler.

Take care!

FluffyGhost on Instagram!

Posted on June 20, 2012 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey all.

Lately I’ve been addicted to the Instagram app… As I tend to take pictures of my everyday kawaii life compared to specialising on a handful of subjects per post as I do here. It’s just a lot more spontaneous and I love it! So I thought I should start uploading from time to time my Instagram photos so you can see more of FluffyGhost behind the scenes haha.

So here’s some photos from the last month:

As you can see I really am that much of a kawaii nut lol! I’ve been taking photos of my personal collection, everyday life, new purchases and my kitty when his being a ober cutie. I just love kawaii photography there’s just something about it where I can stare my day away at it. 

So if you want to follow me on Instagram and see all the rest of my feed. (Yes there are tons more photos for you to get your eyeballs into! (o^____^o)

Then follow: @fluffyghost

Come & say hi too! I love chatting away with you guys! 

Take care,

Holy Cow!

Hey everyone!

Just quickly popping in today with another swap post.

Recently I was lucky to be able to swap with the ever awesome Quinn from Flickr.

I was so excited to get her parcel through I mean look at it:

A fellow deco tape junkie! It just looks so adorable! Instant love at first sight. I shall definitely reuse this box, just far to cute not too.

Heres the surprise swap she sent me:

From Hello Kitty, Tuxedo Sam, Jewel Pets, Little Star Twins, Sugarbunnies, Hannari tofu, Japanese candy, deco tape, cute home wares, ghost stickers & sticker sacks! (I adore kawaii ghosts, especially the Hello Kitty Halloween range its in my ultimate wish list!) 

My mouth hit the floor when I saw what she sent me. Everything is bang on perfect for me! This swap seriously has made my month in kawaii! She really has spoilt me rotten, I adore each and every item. You can tell a lot of thought & love has gone into this parcel. I really am speechless. This is the definition of a legendary kawaii swap indeed. I can only hope that mine will live up to this.

So I’m beyond a happy chappy right now haha. This swap was so fun doing as neither of us had a clue what one another was sending each other. All we had was a profile likes & dislikes and going on a whim. She really got me down to a “T”!

Well gotta dash now, I shall be back tomorrow to post.

Take care,

L……………..x

Parcels, parcels & more parcels!

Posted on May 31, 2012 by fluffyghost| 3 Comments

Hey!

As you know I’m a huge fan of the kawaii swap! Theres just something about receiving a bundle of super cute items they you just can’t beat!

Oh and being able to use all the kawaii deco tape & stickers whilst wrapping. I tend to go a bit overboard haha…It’s an illness?

So as I’m playing catch up this shall be a very photo heavy post. You were all warned hah!

Above: Cupcake storage tin, fuwa fuwa paper clay, cupcake hooks x 2, cupcake lip gloss, chocolate bar mirror & comb set, moustache tin and finally some cupcake pegs.

This is a swap I have currently going on with Rute from Flickr. This photo is known as a preview so she could confirm she likes everything first before sending. Since then I have added a few more items including some badges and a necklace. I’m sure she’ll upload a photo of the swap on Flickr so check back here later when she receives it.

Here is Rutes preview for me. Im so excited I really cannot wait to get this parcel. Everything looks amazing. Rute’s handmade’s are always such a treat! Im in love with the handmade Totoro hannari tofu styled cube. So so so kawaii!

So this has turned out to be a really fun swap. Definitely a kawaii score!

Here are some other swaps and parcels I’ve recently sent:

A swap I sent to Sushibear on Flickr. The swap consisted of her Strapya World wish list and some items from Harrods. So happy I could get everything she wanted. Here we have; Mt Fuji plush, Rilakkuma iPhone 4 case, Kapibarasan iPhone 4 case, bunny plug-in charm, macaroon squishy charm, Disney button stickers. From Harrods; dog plush, A5 notebook, Scottish Terrier leather key ring and a pet tote bag.

Sushibear parcel all wrapped up and sent. I like to take pictures of the parcels I send to confirm my sending date. (I only upload them onto my Flickr the day I’ve sent it, to let my swap partner know it’s on its way to them.) Also as I always decorate them. 

Finally a parcel I sent to my kawaii sister EllaKitty… Just because she’s awesome!

A Tare panda alarm clock, Hello Kitty biscuit plush purse, (I brought two and had to share so we had matching ones!) Rilakkuma small deco tape, Hello Kitty pencils & stickers.

I also wanted to spoil her as I love her millions so I got her one of her wish lists items:

Tokidoki unicorn and I included a Rilakkuma Kitkat.

So there we have my most recent send outs. I am currently doing some more swaps but sadly I cannot share the photos: As my swap partners haven’t received their parcels yet, or I’m still gathering goodies. So stay tuned for another swap post soon. ^__^

Well I must be off!

Take care,

L……………x

I Love Stationary!

Posted on March 29, 2012 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey,

Recently a friend recommended a kawaii shop called Yozocraft to me as we were discussing letter sets (Yer this is a normal topic for a kawaii junkie.) & how expensive some can be… Well her recommendation sure paid off and saved me some pennies as their prices are awesome. Especially if your currency is the British pound!

So here’s what I splashed out on:

Apart from hoarding the odd letter set, I do usually eat my way through them constantly with kawaii pen pals, errand lists etc. They have become the normal type of paper in my house. So it’s always awesome to find a cute store that sell great designs that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

I was thrilled with the choice of deco tape. I love the larger ones as there perfect for decorating parcels & mail envy for. I mean who wants to use boring brown postal tape? Blarghh!

So I went for a kawaii cat design, (Cats in clothes are to die for!) Kutusushita Nyanko & Sentimental Circus! Super kawaii tape indeed!

Also I got some cute envelope memos and some cat card cases for swaps etc…

The most expensive individual item I purchased would have to be the Choo Choo cat sticker pack for $6.50: I really do adore there designs so I couldn’t resist it. It’s really handy to as it’s a booklet with tons of kawaii cat stickers in it. I’ll probably take pictures of it separately on my Flickr at some point.

The Mamegoma stickers are more than likely for future swaps.

Finally I ended my shopping with some Rilakkuma products! I’m head over heals for the macaroon design it’s so adorable! As is the paper tape. I’ve never used paper tape before, so that will be interesting using that.

Has anyone else used paper tape?

So there we have it. Just a small insight into my normal stationary purchasing habits!

I do also recommend Yozocraft if you’re not in a hurry for your parcel. (I think I waited just shy of a month but it was worth it!)

They also do tons of kawaii crafting supplies.

Anyway have a great weekend and see you all soon!

Long Time Waiting!

Posted on March 27, 2012 by fluffyghost| 1 Comment

Hey!

Recently I did a post on my latest kawaii swap with the lovely Gingilly Town from Flickr. (Post here.)

There was a little trouble with her parcel as she sent it to another kawaii lady instead of me. (Well, we all make mistakes here and there.)

So it felt like I was waiting on this swap for all most forever!

But in a way it surprisingly worked out well as I had just purchased a ton of Rilakkuma deco tapes from PaperFun. (The person who was sent my swap parcel by accident.) So it all got resent as one big kawaii parcel & well look what finally arrived today:

This parcel seriously made my day! I adore all of my new goodies from Gingilly Town, especially the Rilakkuma shopper tote bag. It’s beyond cute! The Hello Kitty jewellery is lush too, it looks like it was inspired by Tarina Tarantino collaboration with Hello Kitty. So extra brownie points for that!

As for the deco tapes I purchased off PaperFun I couldn’t have expected better! All of the tapes she choose for me are perfect! Thanks so much for including the extra tapes and goodies I really appreciate it. Really made up for my long wait! I shall definitely be purchasing more off her in the near future!

I’m so glad to know people like this in the kawaii community who helps one another out. As there are a lot of people who would just keep the parcel for themself. So it’s people like PaperFun who keep the kawaii swapping community running smoothly for sure!

See you later!
