My Secret Collection…

Hi!

I’ve been a huge kawaii collector for the last decade and I’ve always believed in enjoying the products instead of keeping them in their original packaging… Hidden away somewhere.

Well thats until recently that is haha… Basically I have a secret stash draw in my dressing table, where I keep lots of  brand new kawaii bits and bobs that I’ve either brought, gotten in a swap, or been made for me.

So here’s my little kawaii secret:

The main key of any kawaii bits going into to this draw, is that they have to be brand new and unused. I mean I love using all of my kawaii stuff in my collection. But there’s my everyday collection from huge to tiny and then there’s my ”collection-collection” haha… I just love staring at it. Makes me really happy for some strange reason. I don’t plan to keep the same stuff in my kawaii draw, just until I’ve thought of a great place to use it or reason to. I just hate wasting great stuff on something silly. Is this weird?

Theres something awesome about admiring mint condition stuff though, I’ve found it strangely rewarding haha!

So there you have it, my secret kawaii stash.

If any one else has one I would love to see!

Have a great Sunday.

SwapBot Parcel.

Afternoon!

I’ve been part of SwapBot for quite some, and in awe of the Flickr groups for years. I’ve met some awesome people through it and learnt a lot about certain types of swaps. ^___^

So I was only naturally delighted when I saw on the SwapBot blog that the founder of SwapBot Rachel Johnson was running a marathon with her husband and team; to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help cure cancer. To help raise money she is giving away SwapBot postcards sets to anybody who donates $10 or more to her teams fundraising page here.

So of course I did, being for a worthy cause & all:

Super happy, I just love SwapBots logo…It’s just so damn kawaii!

From tons of snazzy postcards, to stickers, badges and a cute little magnet.

An awesome bundle in itself for sure. A must have  for any SwapBot lover and most importantly for a great cause of course!

You can donate $10 or more here for your SwapBot parcel.

For more information seek original post here.

Have a great day!

What I got…♥

Hey everyone!

Just popping in with a quick post today, as I have tons to catch up on after a killer weekend!

So… As you might know I participated in a kawaii ziplock swap over on SwapBot!

I showed you what I sent but not what goodies I got. So here’s what Chelle sent me:

I love everything! Super happy when I opened up this parcel. Just so much kawaii goodness in one place…Awesome stuff. ^____^

Only downer was that the watch broke during shipping time, so need to go get that fixed! But never the less, I shall be back for the next Ziplock swap for sure!

Thank you so much Chelle for the awesome swap.

Gotta run, no rest for the wicked today ey..

Have a great Monday all!

♪♫♥Kawaii Ziplock Swap!♥♫♪

 

Hey all,

I finally completed my first Kawaii Ziplock bag swap over on SwapBot!

Was really fun and I’m getting excited about mine coming through the mail; I spose the best bit is the suspense of awaiting on the unknown haha!

Any way, here’s what I sent:

So here we have bunch of kawaii memos and stationary paper. A roll of smiley deco tape, cupcake tag, a Japanese food bowl charm; a kitsch burger eraser, a big pack of kawaii flat back stickers, a tin of  cute forest themed magnets and finally a handmade kawaii plush by me! 

Woah haha… Super happy she likes everything! Was really fun putting it all together.

As you might see, the point of the swap was to get a ziplock sandwhich bag (Size is always stated on the swap description.) & fill it to the brim with kawaii stuff, of your partners choosing. (Likes & dislikes are always stated on people’s SB profiles.) 

So if the bag is not full, you’re being a bit tight! 

So after I managed to fit everything in, (It was a bit like playing Tetris haha!) I was left over with my stickers. I didn’t just want to throw them in, so I packed the Ziplock bag and the stickers into this:

All wrapped and neatly kept together! 

I hope they do a whimsy kawaii jar swap soon, I would love to do one of those!

Well I’ve got my Grandparents coming over in a couple of hours, so I’ve gotta clean my house and go get ready.

See you tomorrow!

Kawaii Matchbox Swap (Sanrio Themed)

Good afternoon!

It’s another humid muggy day here in England…Thanks Summer haha.

Anyway… I recently did a post on my first ever match box swap, but I never showed you guys what I got in return, so after a long wait, here it is:

Two very awesome matchboxes filled with an assortment of buttons, charms and sticker flakes. My swap partner also threw in some Alice In Wonderland memo’s which are awesome.

Thanks so much tonie2weeks I’m a very happy bunny indeed! 

I don’t know why but lately I’ve started to become addicted to cute paper sets and stickers of course! Theres just something about writing a kawaii letter that I enjoy so much…

Anyway, if you’re a reader of Fluffyghost, please become a member on my google friend connect app. It looks so lonesome on it’s own haha! Be great to put some faces to all of you as well!

Take care, have a productive Monday.

SwapBot galore!

Hey,

Yesterday I received tons of parcels from my postman (Felt just like Christmas!) so I thought I would share my latest goodies from SwapBot…I just had to share, too much cute stuff to handle haha!

I love everything from this swap! It’s all so cute…As you can see from the photos I got: Kawaii bunny tote, doughnut container, cake key cover, doughnut phone charm (currently on my bag.) An awesome white cat that wobbles and makes noises haha! As well as Mr Sprinkles, as you can tell I love Mr Sprinkles!

Thanks so much Provadia for the awesome swap! I hope we swap again in the near future. ( I did send her a really awesome box of stuff with tons of British and kawaii stuff, but I can’t find the photo dammit!) 

I was so stoked to receive this parcel! It was from my first swap ever, and it has taken a long time to get to me, but it was worth the wait! (2/3 not bad! Only flaked once…) Thanks so much Paperrrgirl I love it all, especially the necklace! 

I love having pen pals, I love learning everything there is about different cultures! Especially Japan. So it’s only natural for me to drawl all over these ober kawaii stationary! Kawaii pen pals are a must have! Cute paper and interesting conversations = an awesome read!

The top letter reminds me a bit of Elmer the Patchwork Elephant. Does anyone remember this haha?

Have a great afternoon!

L……….x

P.S… On the right navagational bar under my copyright cat, (Yes it is real copyright, steal my stuff and I’ll sue your arse  well try your luck anyway haha!) is where I display what Swaps Im currently in, so come and join in the fun!

Send me a Tote & a note…

Lately I went a tad crazy on Swap Bot, I’ve already had my fair share of flakers (Boo!) but then again I’ve hit the jackpot too! Who could resist Swap Bot when there are way to many cute swaps!

Anyway today I got the most best parcel from a swap I didn’t have high expectations in…Boy was I wrong!

So here it is! Send me a tote & a note. This is what I got:

I love it so much! I’ve never seen so much food with faces in one place! I even got a quirky pen too! Thanks so much Goldilocks and am I glad I had you in this swap!

& of course here’s my tote! I didn’t want to go crazy on the money as there are a ton of flakers out there and I have my suspicions haha.

But flaker or not I’m sure my partner will enjoy this tote!

I’ve also been in a ton of pen pal swaps but this is by far one of my favourite letters:

Super kawaii stickers! I actually have the strawberry house on my purse!

Definitely writing back!.. Hope she does too! ^____^

For tons of swaps visit Swap bot.

Have a great day!

Kawaii Matchbox Swap.

Afternoon!

It’s been a hectic Saturday so far, just had our tenant inspection and I’m happy to say we passed with flying colours. So apart from the early morning wake up (I’m really not a morning person.) me & Mr H have friends coming over later today.

So I thought I would quickly share with you my Kawaii matchbox swap I did over on SwapBot.

It’s the first time I’ve ever made a matchbox from scratch so be nice…

We had to make two matchboxes in a Sanrio theme. So I choose My Melody & Kuromi as they always go hand in hand. For the one above I filled with an assortment of goodies, from kawaii erasers, cute buttons, hair clips, charms and embellishments.

For the other matchbox we had to fill with 30 sticker flakes so here it is:

I always find it hard to part with stickers…I don’t know why maybe It’s because I just can’t get enough of them haha!

Can’t wait to see what I get through the post! Hope my partner enjoys my first ever attempt of a Kawaii matchbox. 

If you love decorating then I do recommend this swap for you! It was so much fun just putting together.

Well that’s it for today…

Have an awesome Saturday & don’t forget Fluffyghost’s Etsy is opening less then a week!

L……….x

& the rest…

I’m so glad I can finally show you guys the rest of my swap over one Swapbot. It was my first parcel swap. I’m still awaiting on two so fingers crossed: But I’m happy everyone’s received mine.

I loved putting hoershey parcel together. She liked the Kawaii! So was fun shopping for cute stuff! Mr H however spent his time in the record store haha. 

Lexidh was more of a crafty lady. She does a lot of scrap booking so I made sure to pick up lots of useful bits & bobs. 

Can’t wait to see what I get. I’ve started to learn the nasty side of Swapbot. So many bad stories about people getting flaked. Like all the time!

So I really hope I don’t (For a long time anyway if possible haha.) get scammed. 

Well that it’s for today, I feel so drained…

See you tomorrow!

Swap Bot.

Afternoon!

Recently I’ve thrown myself in the deep end with Swap Bot! I’ve always wanted to join & well now I’m caught up in about 6 swaps: & I love it!

God bless snail mail, It softens the blows of the dreaded bills.

Anyway today I got my first parcel all the way from Canada! 

I love the hat so much. Mr H thinks I look like a dork in it. But who cares, it’s so cute!

Plus with all the new pen pals I seem to be gathering, stickers are a must have.

So thank you so much LuckyPenny for making my first parcel swap something to remember!

I only learnt yesterday, that the people I sent off to aren’t the people who send back to me. :/

I know the dynamics of swap bot are intense! (Only joking!)

So that means I can finally start showing what I’ve sent. (Only one today though, as I don’t want to ruin my other swap partners surprises.)

I think I got the balance right with craft supplies, confectionary & the odd bits & bobs. ^___^

I also joined the Kawaii Swap on Flickr and there is a couple of people I would seriously die & go to heaven to have these people as a swap partner.

First is TWINA:

She makes her own plush! There totally amazing & look so well made. Plus to be sent all the other Kawaii goodness is just well to awesome! Just so much goodness I just love staring at it. (In the non creepy way haha!)

Second up is Yumi:

I don’t know much about Yumi, but I discovered her swaps on the Kawaii Swaps on Flickr. All I know is that she does the most incredible swaps ever! I would actually metaphorically piss my pants if I received something like this. I mean I would be over the moon just to get something like this for Christmas!

Well that’s enough about Swap Bot for today as I can assure you; this is the first of many posts on this!

Have a great day!
