First swap ever!

This year I decided to take part in a Christmas swap organised by one of my BLU friends Erica. I got paired up with one of her friends, Chiara from Italy and we sent each other handmade goodies, craft supplies, beads and fabric. Here is what I got. How lovely! :) Love the babushka necklace & felt brooch!

Christmas windows 2008

I finally passed by the Myer Christmas windows with proper camera in hand today. I like this year's theme on How Santa Really Works. Lots of cute little touches to spot among the mayhem with elves and toys everywhere.





This one is my favourite bit.

Boxing day sales

We woke up early today and got to the shops at 8am. The main department stores opened from 5am this morning. There was already something of a weekend feel to the main shopping area when we got there. By late morning and afternoon, there were so many people around - felt like the whole population must have been out shopping. Everyone was frantically buying stuff but amazingly I ended up with nothing (i.e.: no clothes or shoes and stuff) but a Whittard hot chocolate gift set that I was eyeing before Christmas at half price :)




Shoppers pouring out of Myer


Lots of tired people sitting outside the shops

A cute bunny lamp which changes colour from Mammo :D


I've got all my pressies already (unless I have more surprises :)) under the tiny tree.

More cards for Bobbers & me

We've got some more BLU swap cards to date. :)

BLU Christmas card swap

We have received some cards from the BLU swap. I bring them to Bobbers and she makes sure to mark all the cards as hers when I put them in front of her. Hehehe! She is very funny.
