I couldn't help it....

I had to get a few things in a box again....

 It all started because I decided to order...

some origami lucky star strips. I was surprised at how small these containers were but they are still so cute. I was disappointed that there weren't all that many different designs of strips that I liked so I ended up making a purchase on Etsy for those as I've been making stars a lot lately and hardly have any strips left. I decided to order these plain ones as they'll look great mixed in with pattern ones.

 

Since I was ordering anyway I might as well get some stationery too....

I guess I have a thing about bears, some of these have been in my wish list for some time now so I'm glad that I now finally have them. The last one is a letter pad and its one of the cutest I've come across, I actually wish I bought 2 but I'm going to really enjoy writing on this one.

It wasn't all bears though as these 2 sneaked in too.

Again though my size bearings were out as I assumed the hello kitty bags were the little ones but these are big... its turned out ok though as I'm sure I can use them for something...

The brown ones I received as a free gift so someone will probably get something in it one day.

Lastly I couldn't resist

getting some stickers too...

I only hope to make one more tape purchase (I know I have a lot already but I have a voucher to spend) and then that will be it for this year if I can help it.

 

I'll have to apologise as always for my seriously bad photos but I'm sure some of you can understand how bad the lighting is still at this time of year... still this morning when dropping my niece off at school it was nice to walk her there in the sun even though the darkness has a special feeling to it also.

 

Have you made any great purchases lately?

Yes! A Mail Day Again.....

A friend told me she had written to me so I was anxiously waiting for her letter as I've hardly had any mail this month. I opened the envelope to find these 3 amazing items and  I felt a little guilty. My friend sent me a great birthday present but I just mentioned about receiving some piggies because as a muslim we just don't have anything to do with them. She felt bad which wasn't my intention so sent me even more things with a birthday card, so it felt like my birthday all over again which was nice of course.

 

The stickers have the same thing going on on the back, which is great as I have a couple of fruity letter sets I can use them with. I also received a wizard of oz letter pad which I didn't even know existed so I feel even more spoilt and it will definately take some time before I use this one too.  The pen my niece has decided its hers even though for now I still have it :)

 

I'm sure once I go back to work next week (where has the time gone!) all the letters will begin to flood in.

 

When you post letters do you use themed stamps or what ever the post office will use?
