my friend, li li, from singapore, sent me another wonderful package.... it arrived on saturday while ramel and i were insistent on not waking up... once the postman rang the doorbell, i rushed my husband to get it (after all, my hair was wild and there was no robe in site) and although he hadn't his glasses or contacts in, he willingly signed for the packages....
and well, as you can see, li li sent one of the cutest unazukin dolls... and green too! i was shy to open it up at first until she explained how they work (i heard they were the latest craze but didn't understand the function)... how delightful! the cute unazukin told me i'd even finish some art that day (hehe) li li sure knows how to send the most thoughtful gifts!
and the other latest craze?! cram cream... i can see why! they are sitting on my record console awaiting to find a perfect spot where i can remember to use them (yes, i have specific "must use" spots since i have a ton of goodies) anyhow, i think they are just darling and there is a little bird on the turquoise one that is just too cute and dying to be made into cut paper...
of course, li li also sent oodles of paper.... on the left are some folders that are plastic... they are PERFECT for storing papers, sketches, ideas, etc... and prettier than the manilla folders, ya know!? anyhow, right in the middle of the photo is some origami paper... it has very cute people illustrations on it, and some stickers too... there is also a smaller pack of iridescent origami paper- perfect for angel wings and such... all the papers li li sent were beautiful, and smelled good too! i kid you not!
there were kid books and a retro nancy drew book.... and an asian crochet book too with some very cool projects... (i got the hang of crocheting BUT i have heavy hands so its hard to stick the hook through in order to make loops and such... the same problem i had with knitting at first....) eventually, i will figure out how to crochet properly and make me a pretty bag or scarf shown in the book.... there was also a slew of candy and coffee.... yes, coffee!! it's mocha vanilla coffees and very strong too... but i like them... in fact, the same day i received this package, i got fudge in the mail... the two coupled together was divine....
most of the candy is gone now... and i want to tell you, li li, thanks so much for everything! your thoughtfulness and kindness is much appreciated and loved.... hugs!
Wow more goodies sure makes life alot more pleasant!!!

Looks like you received gorgeous treats just like me! Yes today was the day when the postman arrived with the pop quiz package for me from YOU! Imagine my excitement... so thank you Ellia for all the lovely gifts! I will email you over the weekend to thank you properly and do a blog once pictures have been taken... though the sweets might not last long... :)
