All About Swaps!!

Time for revival...

2008-10-02T00:42:00.002+08:00

It has been long time since I last swapped.

Time to restart my swapping bug! :)

Swap hiatus

2008-06-01T19:00:00.000+08:00

I'm on a swap hiatus for an indefinite period.

However, I may conduct small swaps from time to time as my time permits, thus do drop me a line if you're interested!! :)

Thank you for visiting!

Swap with Daneila

2008-06-01T17:31:00.002+08:00

Our 2nd swap and Daniela has sent me various perfume samples, a box of cappucino, gorgeous earring and a Rome fridge magnet.

Alas I still could not locate the picture of the stuff I sent her...

3rd swap with Natalie

2008-06-01T16:51:00.003+08:00

This is my 3rd swap with Natalie. Main swap items are milo for a pack of gwipo (dried cuttlefish).

2-piece decotape swap

2008-05-01T01:24:00.003+08:00

These 2 decotape took quite awhile to reach my side of shore. Whatever journey it travelled, it has finally landed on my doorstep!!

Malaysia Whimsy Jar

2008-05-01T01:05:00.004+08:00

This swap is only open to Malaysia swappers. My partner is the host herself, Phatelara! She sent me a well nice decorated jar filled with all sorts of cute stuff :) Looking at it make me happy and it took me a while to open and explore all the goodies as it is just too beautiful to open in case I can't insert all the stuff back in!!

Besides the jar, she also gave me a matchbox as an extra goody which is filled to the brimmed again with cute stuff! Thank you Phatelara for this wonderful swap.

Above is the jar I sent to Latte and the flower is the jar's cover that I decorated with a flower.

2nd swap with Daniela ~ Italy

2008-05-01T00:51:00.002+08:00

Search and search my hard drive and thumb drive and no picture of what I sent her could be found!! I'm so busy these days that it's no wonder that I might have accidently deleted off this picture for I'm sure I snapped a picture of it. Sad, sad, sad.... :(

Pressed Flowers ATC

2008-05-01T00:42:00.002+08:00

"Stole" some flowers from my mum's garden and pressed them for swap-bot's Pressed Flowers ATC. 1st time I made an ATC. It was fun and simple :)

My partner is paperseed whom I won a handmade plastic pendant blogged about here. What a small world!!

Chinese Red Envelope Swap [rcvd]

2008-03-17T14:11:00.004+08:00

Received these red envies from 2 partners ~ fivecats1 and artistic.

Liked them a lot and an eye opener for me as besides normally receiving and giving angpows ($$$ ~ yeah money!!) these few years, my partners are able to include colour eye gel, crafting beads, stickers, etc..

Now, I'm waiting for one more red envie from jamswap.

Swap with Jeanette ~ UK

2008-03-11T13:42:00.004+08:00

Came home and was surprised to see a gold bulky envie waiting for me. It's from Jeanette :)

She sent me a joined heart bracelet that came with it's own organza pouch!!, a box of Clipper's green tea with lemon and the yellow flowers motif you see in the background is a bag!!

Cool swap :)

eSwap - The View Outside my office window [sent]

2008-03-11T00:03:00.006+08:00

This swap is about what I see outside my office window. We are to take one or more pictures of the view outside our office window and sent it to our partners.

My office is located on top of a megamall. When I look out of my office window, all I see are the highways, buildings (office & hotel) and residential areas. All in all, it is a concrete jungle!! However in between these scenes, you are able to glimpse dense bushes :)

The pictures are not that clear although it is taken on a very sunny day coz I took the pictures thru the window. My office windows are all sealed!!

Hope you like this *o*

Long awaited package

2008-03-10T17:34:00.005+08:00

Finally I received Nika's package after so many months. My package to her has yet to arrive!! What's wrong with the postal to Slovenia? Will wait until end of this month before I redo another package for her.

Nika is such a generous swapper. She sent me so so many stuff!! Amongst the stuff I received are a cute pig plushie, purple hair accessories (band and clips), stabilo pens, lovely handmade bookmarks (tweety and my favourite smurf), handmade booklets (lovely craftsmanship), assorted writing stationeries that comes with matching envelopes!

That's not all, digging further into the package, Nika also sent me a bar of her favourite soap, face mask, perfume sachets and 2 lip gloss (one of it is strawberry flavour!), 2 bars of her favourite snack ~ frutabela, some candies, sachets of cappucino and teas. She also included a handmade Slovenia receipe book and really cute stickers. There's also a small pink pouch which contains a beaded flower necklace, turtle bangle and 2 fridge magnets ~ one is made from wood which has the scenery of Bled and the other a plastic with the saying "Best friends are better than boys".

Thank you Nika for all the lovely stuff. I do hope you receive my package soon!!

2008-03-10T14:57:00.006+08:00

This is my 2nd swap with Natalie from Korea.

She requested for snacks ie. Hello Panda, Loller and Tim Tams. I got her Hello Panda's milk and strawberry flavour, Loller's chocolate flavour and Tim Tams vanilla wafers. Added extras ~ crispy and lody candies. Hope she enjoys them.

Hair accessories and candies

2008-02-28T08:15:00.000+08:00

She requested for candies and hair accessories. I added 2 bars of Crispy and a unique candy "Nano-Nano" which I hope she finds interesting.

Coloured Cute Deco Tape #2# [sent]

2008-02-28T08:03:00.000+08:00

Viva Italia!!

2008-02-15T00:40:00.006+08:00

I was surprise that my swap package from Rome arrives so fast!!

Daniela sent me a really cute top with apples print, strawberry flavoured tea by Lipton (Malaysia only has the classic tea by Lipton, not flavoured!), Cappucino Classic (gotta go get fresh milk!!! before I can try this), a cutie Hello Kitty sock which is actually a mobile pouch (just the right size for my phone *o*), a beautiful earring and a strip of nutella which unfortunately was smashed up in the package thus I'm unable to taste it nor take a picture of it.

Although no nutella, I'm really happy with this swap. Thank you Daniela for making my day today!! :)

Below is what I sent to her. As the package was sent right before Chinese New Year, I've included an ang-pow for her. Hope that she has also received my package to her and she like the contents of the package.

Brand New Look-ie for a brand new year!

2008-01-05T18:15:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year 2008!! I hope you had a fabulous countdown ushering in the New Year :)

This site has been revamped and I hope you like the new look :p

Cheers!

Merci Beaucoup Nini!!

2007-12-27T23:49:00.000+08:00

Finally the 1st package from Nini arrives today!!!

This particular package took close to 2 months (Nini posted it out on Nov 7th) to reach me!! I've received her 2nd package earlier (details here) and has already contented myself that the package got lost in transit. I've must been a good gal coz Santa brought me pressies :D

Nini has been very generous as you can see from the pictures above, she send me a bottle of perfume!! It smell great and I've actually wanted to purchase one for myself. Perfect timing!

Early Christmas Gift from Pennsylvania, USA

2007-12-19T02:12:00.000+08:00

Look what I got!! I was so excited when I took out each item, it gets better as one by one, each item is revealed. As I was curious about the handmade cloth pad (yes she made it herself), she was kind enough to send one for me to try!

Lola was kind enough to add other fabulous stuff besides those requested by me. Even my boy gets an additional gift :)

Hope you try out those local hawker dishes recipe Samantha and let me know the turn out!

너를 감사하십시요 (Thank you) Natalie :D

This was a very specific swap.

Received 4 lovely stationery sets (Hallmark and Korean) from Natalie. Included in the package is a mix music CD which I left in my car thus it's not in the picture.

Hope to swap with Natalie again.

Sunshine State - Florida, USA

2007-11-29T01:15:00.000+08:00

여보세요 (Hello) Korea!

2007-11-29T01:05:00.000+08:00

Merci Nini!!

2007-11-20T00:17:00.001+08:00

I received Nini's package (package #2) sealed with lovely Hello Kitty Pour Lolita White Edition package. The sticker itself is so lovely that it's difficult to tear and part with such lovely tape to get to the contents!!

Nini has sent me stickers - Christmas theme. I just love Christmas season each year and this is a good start counting the days towards Christmas :D. Apart from all the cute items, some of which I'm finding hard to part with ie. craft items when I use it for my craft, she also had a note in the package that this package I'm having is the 2nd package she send as it was unintentionally left out in the 1st package she sent to me. Now I'm beginning to wonder where Mr Postman took my 1st package too? Hopefully it arrives soon intact!!

Merci Beaucoup Nini for such lovely items!
