Giveaway Winner!

\

My Favorite Bunny and friend, Rachel, had a giveaway for her 6 year blog anniversary. Sadly for her, I was the only one that commented, but that was great for me because I won! :) Please check out her blog post about all the wonderful goodies she sent. :) 

Paper Bunnies

Hi Ya'll!!!

Easter is around the corner...ahh!! hehe Yes, I am behind but my friends are very patient with me. :)

Here are some Free Origami Bunnies / Rabbits to decorate with. :)

Origami Spirit has a good video (link) to show you how to fold this bunny. I suggest you watch it all the way through first so that you sort of know what is coming next. She goes pretty fast but there's always the pause and rewind buttons. :)

I've made a bunch, filled them with kisses and will donate them to a bake sale to help raise funds for charity. My friends are going down to El Salvador to help build homes and pass out items to the poor.

Here's another Free Paper Bunny Goodie Bag Tutorial (Link). You start with a paper bag and just cut out the ears using the template provided. It's pretty quick and simple. :)

The Sunday Baker shows you how to fold this cute origami paper napkin for your Easter table (link). I think it has so much character! :) It would be really cute in different colors too. :) I can see them now, hopping down the middle of my table. :)

And lastly, here is the Free tutorial on how to fold this classic bunny. You can fold it with paper or fabric napkins. Link 1 has picture tutorial and Link 2, from Chinet, has a video tutorial.

Chinet has other napkin folding tutorials for you to check out and add to your dinning table. :)

I hope your Easter preparation is going well.. :)

Surprise Halloween Package from Bunny

My beloved friend, Rachel sent me a surprise Halloween package a little early so I can enjoy it for the season. :) I decided to share all the goodies with you! :)

In the purple tissue paper, she put this cute mug with a zombie, this adorable black cat, and some panda earrings. The apple case held 2 cute Halloween tins full of candy! And lastly, the black spiderweb had some fixings so that I can have a yummy cup of hot coco (which I'm drinking right now :P) for those cold nights. :)

I can't wait to start decorating with all the cute items I've received over the years. Yes, I have not started decorating for Halloween. :p I've been so behind! 

In the cute Halloween shoebox, there were tons of amazing goodies. Safety noses and eyes for all my crafting. More candies, come smell good candles, lotions, and sanitizers, a cupcake kit, cute ribbons, note pad, and playing cards to add to my collection.

I love that she included the Hobbit. But now my dilemma is whether or not to read it before watching the movie or after. :p

I always love and cherish the cards she sends me. I have a bunch of boxes full. :)  

My own package to her is still not ready but I hope to have it done soon so stay tuned. Thanks again little bunny!! I love it all! :)

Spring Package from Bunny

My friend, Rachel, sent me a very sweet package. :) I love receiving packages from her. They are always full of cute stuff. hehe She also posted about it on her blog. 

This is beautiful wrapping paper. The yellow is so spring but I love the pattern. :) I can just imagine a tone on tone of this pattern on my walls but in blue. :) 

Heart ice pop molds. :) I can't wait for it to get warm enough. This will be so yummy! I might even try this fudge pop recipe I found online. :p 

I love craft magazines and books! :) So many new ideas. hehe And I love the ami book! It has been featured on all my favorite amigurumi blogs. I can't wait to start on some of the cuties inside. :)

My friend cross stitched this free mockingjay pattern for a special project of mine. :) For you Hunger Games lovers, stay tuned. I should finish the project sometime in the next few weeks. :)

I just wanted to quickly show how she sent it. She first put it in a page protector, then in a yellow folder that matched her pretty wrapping paper. :) It's a great way to ship out your cross stitching.

She also always puts in some cool candy. I love the bunny because when you squeeze it's belly, it makes the sounds from the commercials. hehe I like gummy candies and these Angry Birds ones look yummy. :)

And lastly, some craft supplies. I couldn't find these colors here so she was nice enough to send them to me. But look, it's a beaded panda kit! Yea!!!!! Score!!! hehe Thanks Bunny!!!

I hope you guys have great friends like mine. :)

Goodies from Taiwan

My mom just came back and picked up some goodies for me. :)

This gummy candy is so cute! It was wrapped like a present. When you open it up, it actually has a little box! hehe It is pretty yummy too.

It kinda looks like baby corn on a stick. This is gummy candy too.

The bank sold out of coins quick but my mom found this cool one for the year of the dragon. :)

Bento supplies!!! This cute cinnamoroll bento box has two layers to it. Look at this cute smiling Panda Bento box! Adorable! She even got me a utensil set with chopsticks, fork, and spoon. :)

I know, socks? O.o These are suppose to be for good luck. You wear a pair each day for 7 days in a row. I haven't started yet but I will soon. :)

Nylon string in lots of different sizes and some stretchy cord too! Yea! I doubt I will ever run out, but I am running out of my fireline. :p

My mom saw these beautiful papers and had to get some for me. They are too pretty to use. Maybe I will frame them and make them art or something. They are more like regular paper than card stock in thickness.

Findings Galore! She said she spent like $100. This is not the shop I usually go to but it's great! There are some close up pics below.

The store's business card, cute!

Please help. I don't know what to do with these. Am I suppose to bend them? Are they like picks or something? If you have any idea what these are supposed to be used for especially, please comment below. Thanks. :)

Shopping for and receiving beading or crafting supplies are always so much fun! hehe
