Hi everyone!
(Oh yeah, and this obviously isn't Monday, but I needed to get caught up :)
Sorry I haven't posted in so long, we were away for a while, and only just got back and had Christmas.
Before I begin this, I'd like to say that I'm not in any way or form trying to boast about the gifts I got, or say anything about getting more than other people. I was certainly blessed with some lovely gifts this year, and am very grateful for them, so please don't bother saying anything about me being spoilt.
Here we go!
First, I got a tiara from my parents. I've been needing one for a while now to wear for dance concerts, and was borrowing one from my teacher, but now I won't have to!
From Hamish, I got this adorable wash-style tape. There are two more rolls but I can't find them right now, so I just showed these ones.
From my parents I also got this lego Joker. He did come with another lego "card" as well, but unfortunately I lost it (I seem to be good at that lately.). I wanted the Joker because of a silly joke between me and a friend, and I thought it was pretty cute anyway. I now have 3 lego mini figures, and this one is definitely my favourite!
From Gretchen I got these pretty Frozen activity cards. The one of Elsa is my favourite.
My parents also gave me a Spotlight gift card. I don't know exactly what I'll use it for yet, but I'll let you know when I do!
Gretchen gave me a packet of this writing paper. I used to have stacks of this kind of paper, it's so cute with the little fairy and unicorn!
Liesl gave me a pad of paper she had decorated with an Irish good luck kind of theme. I'm going to be using this a lot!

From one of my Aunts and Uncles, I got this pretty note pad with sticky notes in it, a pen and a bookmark. I've been using them all a lot!
Penny gave me a pretty red felt rose hairclip that she made herself.
Some of my other relatives gave me a scratch-art kit. It has 4 different pictures that start a little like the first one, with just the outlines and main bits filled in. Then it has instructions on what patterns to fill everything else in with, and what to scratch off (it has a little stick to do this with), finishing somewhat like the one underneath. I've been having a lot of fun with this.
I also got this book. I've finished reading it now, and it was quite good.
My parents gave me this book. I'm about half-way through it now, and am really enjoying it!
And last but not least, my Grandparents gave me this Klutz paper fashions book.
It comes with some trimmings, beads, sequins, glue and mini coat hangers. (there is also a packet of blue and green beads and sequins, but it's not shown in this photo)
This is an example of what you can make with the kit. There are stencils for the doll and the dress. I changed the doll's hair a bit, and added a few details and made the dress using things I already had, but it's the same general idea.
It comes with three sheets of stencils.
And an envelope of pretty paper for the "fabric" to make everything out of.
One of the sheets had most of the patterns printed on it in thin strips for trims and stuff, so I thought it would give you a good idea of what kind of paper is in it.
And that's all I got. I hope you had a really good Christmas as well! Make sure to comment and tell me what gift you liked best out of all the ones that you got.
