Merry KittyMas!

hello! how are you all doing? 

i hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!?

i thought id show you guys some of the awesome Hello Kitty goodies i got for Christmas this year off my family and friends [well last year, technically, woah!] as ive properly turned into a bit of a collector over this past year. ive always LOVED hello kitty, but ive taken collecting a lot more seriously this past year, after being a bit inspired by a youtuber called Dollastic and her amazing toy collections!] 

im always looking for frames, figures, tins, money boxes etc to go on my 'hello kitty' shelves, and of course new plushies/beanies and anything else are always welcome too!

of course this isnt 'bragging', but i always like to see peoples presents and collections, so here goes...

LOOK AT ALL THE HELLO KITTY GOODIES, EEEE!

 my bestie made me a super sweet little hello kitty hamper, featuring this cute little Christmas beanie, among other things. here she is among all my other plushies and beanies!

 in the hamper there was also this mug, Pez dispenser and cute pencil, plus a few other bits! <3

 my brother and sister in law got me this 'make your own beanie' kit, which i might not actually use, but it does look great on my shelf! [the mini gumball machine i got off my 'rents]

 and would yah look at this cute pink hat, pleez? AWESOME.

 theres a story behind this 'party garland'. my mam went to get it for me in store as id seen it online randomly in Lakeland, but they didnt have any in stock online, so she went to have a look but they didnt have any, so she asked about it in the shop and the kind lady said that cos the shop wasnt local to us and we dont drive, that she would order one in and post it to us, which she did, and that was lovely! i havent put it up yet, i might hang it from my shelves though, ey?

see that little hello kitty face on top of the box there? its a mood light. OOH.

 id seen this sweet little 'rose gold' coloured pendant in the Avon book a few months ago, but my mam sneakily told her friend to order it for her so i didnt see it, sneaky sneaky!

 i also got myself [outa my Christmas money off mam and dad] this CUTE little money box/coin bank and look how good it looks on my shelf!?

 here is my shelf, well shelf and a half as my collection continues to grow. of course this doesnt include some of the other hello kitty things in my collection, like plushies/beanies, bags and cushions and a MASSIVE plush. 

what do u think!? i think you can only understand if youre a collector of something or have always wanted to be. im loving my collection so far and will continue to expand and buy more kitty goodies... 

MY TIP: start off with a few bits and buy things that catch your eye! also, sale items are always good!

hello all,

i do hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year, and im sorry this post is a few days later than it should have been.

like last year, im going to show you some of the gifts i got for Christmas, and once again, im not showing off, or bragging or anything, its just nice to share what i got, and i know some people like to have a nosey at what other people got for Chrimbles! so here goes:

firstly, i got this AMAZING glass box off my parents, the patterns on it are so so beautiful and i just LOVE IT!

ive put the two necklaces and stretchy ring i got this year in my pretty new box, eeee, lovely!

i had seen this AMAZING 'coin bank' in a local Hallmark shop a few months ago while i was in there with my bestie, and i told my mam about it, saying it was cute, but that i already had a money box! and then she got my dad to go get it for me, how lovely! i LOVE IT!

here is the coin bank disguised within my hello kitty plushie collection, EPIC!

i knew i was getting this awesome Boo [the cutest dog in the world] purse, as i had spotted it in the sale section online in Littlewoods, and YEY, how CUTE!?

 ive wanted to try Frizz Ease for AGES, and when i saw this little 'kit', i thought id give it a go, i havent tried it yet, but hopefully itll make my curls nicer/less FRIZZY!?

 i LOVE impulse body sprays and always have one in my bag/room, so this cute little set will be really handy, the tin is so pretty too!

i got this ADORABLE hello kitty nail varnish set from my mate, among other things, and i just LOVE IT. im gona use 'em VERY SOON! <3

 i got this CUTE hello kitty lip gloss and compact mirror set off my bestie, LOOK AT IT! :)

i also got this sweet-smelling Vera Wang 'Pink Princess' perfume off my bestie, its in an insanely GLITTERY heart shaped bottle and its unreal.

i got this pink TARTAN hat and matching mini bag from my brother and sister in law, cos they know i love tartan, AND pink! AYEEE.

 my lovely little brother and sister-in-law also got me a pile of Reeses goodies, probs when they were in America last year, most of which i ate before taking this pic, LOLS.

they also got me this MASSIVE Soap and Glory set, which has some great goodies in, like Clean on Me and Hand Food, both of which ive had before and i LOVE.

ok, so this post title might be a bit confusing, but never fear, it will all become clear.

again, this blog post features the kind and talented Tim Easley, who offered to send some of his own christmas cards out to his facey b friends, and as im a fan of Tims stuff, i asked for one.

he also did a special christmas 'moustache' doodle in the middle of the card, and asked what each individual person wanted, which was cool. i asked for a really curly one, and thats what i got! first though, heres the front of the card:

heres the inside of the card, look at that curly wurly 'tache:

i love the card, thanx so much, Tim! merry xmas to you, too!
