Hello Kitty fever

I just went to our local H&M today - and look what I bought for my girls and me....

In the shop called "Build-a-bear" I shopped some christmas-presents for the Hello Kitty Emma is getting for christmas. I just love the little kitty.

A friend of mine is going to Japan tomorrow and he has promised to check all the local stores for Hello Kitty items and hopefully he will find some craft magasines and books as well - I would love a copy of Cotton Time or Kuri-Kuri....

New swaps are starting....

I've just joined some new swaps - a Matchbox Festive Fill and a Fabric, Trimms and Candies swap. I can't waite to see who is my swap-partner.

I think swapping is something I'm all ready addicted to - when I'm out shopping, I look everywhere to find some great things.

Can't wait to post pictures of the stuff I have sent to my swap-partners.

I love books.....

Check out what I found in the local fleemarket - lots of vintage craftbooks.

I went to my favorite craft shop to day and bought some stuff for a wallet swap I'm doing. Look what I bought. The book is from Tone Finnanger who has created the most beautifull things for the home in her new book Tildas Hus (Tildas House). I have a lot of things that I want to make for christmas for my to daugters - the strawberry cushions, the horses, the cats and and.

To my son I'm going to knit a pirate from Claire Garlands new book "Dream toys".... I think I have one big wish for christmas: 1 new bookshelf for my craft-books.....

Goodies from Holland

Ok who is the most happy girl right now? I received a very beautiful packed parcel from Erika yesterday and look what was inside.....


Fabrics, magazines (my favorites), candy, cookies, small stamps, stickers, paper, 3 beautiful wrapped parcel for my kids and a cute little bag with a very lovely flag-garland.

My kids were very surprised and they opened their parcel and were even more surprised. Anton got some very nice stickers, he could fill-out with the pens that followed together with some nice stickers. Emma and Laura received each a cute handmade bag and inside the bag there were an apron with the same cake deko as on the bag. And there were more: small play cakes and others stuff in wood. They just kept saying "yes, yes juhu!!!".

Thank you very much, Erika, Mila and Sofia.

I loved to swap with you - maybe we could do it some time again.

My parcel to Erika and the girls will be on its way on monday - can't waite to see if they'll love it....

From Canada to Denmark

I got my package from Tania. I just danced around in my office. What goodies she had packed for me....

Origami paper, Hamtaro stickers, beads, fabrics, Kogepan paper, a lovely notebook, some delicious candy and dadadadaaaaa: Tania Howells magnets and pins.... I just loved everything...

I can't waite to hear from her if she loved the stuff I sent too...

My very first swap made it to Babs in California

I just wanted to share a photo of the stuff I sent to Babs i California. She wanted something danish and here is what I chose to send her:

- a danish magazine, a letterbox (money bank), a key-chain with a favorite childrens character "Bamse" (Teddy), a magnet, a childrens book, country paper, feltflowers, stickers etc.

I really love to swap with people - it is interesting what people choose to send.

I can't publish the picture of my second swap yet - it is still on its way to Tania in Canada....
