Mandarin

Here is the present that my sister made me for Christmas (alongside some other goodies) – the mandarin hat from Animal Crossing as you can see in the picture below. Probably not particularly interesting for you if you’re not a fan of the game, but I’m sure you can appreciate that I now have a hat that looks like an orange!

I did get some other things that may be of slightly more interest to you though -

Rings

Owl & Watch

Books & DVDs

I have moved on from the Twilight bandwagon and switched over to the True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse books. The fact that all the books have the word dead in them made it very difficult to buy the remaining 4 out of the series today (I had a giftcard) because I couldn’t remember what I had! As much as I liked the whole Twilight thing, hopefully True Blood won’t be as cheesy.

Boots

My sister is the best and managed to find and buy me these boots that I’d given up on ever finding again after missing out on the last pair.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I certainly did, particularly due to a certain present my sister made me! Now I’m going to sit back for a while, eat more than I should and most likely nap a lot.

Dec 24.09 / Making, Occasions, Work in Progress

I love wrapping presents, for birthdays, for Christmas, pretty much any occasion. My ideal part time Christmas job could probably be working at those stalls that offer gift wrapping services!

This year for my Secret Santa gift I thought I’d try out this tutorial I found as it tells you how to make those traditional bows that you just stick on. I never realised how simple it was to make them.

Present

As we were all leaving for the Christmas holidays to go back home, we went out for a meal to exchange presents (and open them) and I think everyone was pretty pleased.

Hope everyone has a good Christmas tomorrow! xx
