Beautiful Things from Sayuri - Part 1

Last December, my blogger friend Divya celebrated her blog's 5th anniversary with giveaways. Divya is a talented jewelry designer behind Jewels of Sayuri and I have always loved visiting her blog to see the beautiful things she makes. I joined the jewelry giveaway and imagine my surprise when a few days later, I got an email from her saying I won.

I won... yes... me who never really wins anything much, WON!

*insert happy dance here*

And today, the package arrived!!

All the way from India.

Inside the package...

Don't you just love her business card?

And inside the box? Coming soon next week. I want to take nice photos to do justice to my prizes and right now, I only have my camera phone. 

Can't wait to try them on!! :)

Back to School

It's back to school for us, and Andi's little friends too.

Andi said that the little bear is her. That's her favorite.

I got the Kindergarten Music School set from sulit.com.ph from a very nice seller, tesl. The set came with the school, the school bus, the Chiffon Dog mother, and 4 babies. Great deal huh? The price wasn't so bad either... just a little over the price of a brand new school bus if you buy it at the mall :) The other babies I bought brand new from the mall.

Now I wish the going back to school part for Andi was just as happy and scenic as it was for her friends but no... she didn't want to go back. She threw a tantrum as I was about to leave her at school... complete with screaming, lying on the floor and kicking. It's the same old scene we go through everytime she has to go back to school after a long vacation. 

Happy New Year!

That's Freya of the Sylvanian Families, holding a trumpet and wearing a polka dot dress for New Year's eve. I have no idea why but it has been a tradition here in the Philippines to wear polka dots for New Year. Red and white polka dots are even better.

Anyway, here's to more posts, crafts, hobbies, travels, and friends (ok fine... and money too to finance those crafts, hobbies, and travels) this coming year!
