Not just threads and needles ~

Even before I went home for a vacation,I already knew what to give two of my officemates for Christmas. They were both into cross stitch and sewing. And they also like cute and dainty stuff so I know that if they will received these as my gift to them for Christmas they would surely appreciate it.






True enough, my officemate was so happy when they got it. The other one not being a Catholic was surprise to receive a Christmas gift from me when I got back. She said it was so nice she was confused where she would place it. She said that if she cannot put it in her drawer because it's so nice to look at but she also don't want to put it on her desk because it might get dirty. Haha I just laugh and told her that it's ok since dainty as it may seem these things last long. I know because I've had mine for more than ten years now. I have a big one in green to hold all of my threads and needles. And a much smaller one which I use as a jewelry box.

By the way the name of the stall is St. Jane's International. They are one of the companies located in the Mactan Export Processing Zone (MEPZ) in Lapu - lapu City Cebu. Yearly during the Christmas Holidays they join the bazaar just outside MEPZ. If you can't wait for Christmas time though, you can now check them out in their Facebook account.

My 2010 Christmas Gifts

It has almost been a month since I got this but up til now I have not been in the mood to write about anything. Maybe because I have been preety busy with a lot of things. But I don't want to let this pass by without writing about the things I got.



The first I got for the holidays is from my long time friend (yeps 2 decades can be considered long right?) who came to visit me here in Singapore end of November. Thanks for the Precious Moments Tumbler Cest! I love it! I new piece in my PM collection. But more than anything else, thanks for the visit :) I really had a good time showing you and your friends around. Hope our trip this year will push thru.











Now, December 24th was my flight back home to Cebu. I really wanted to bring home with me the gifts that I have received but figured that it will just take up the space I needed when I come back here so I opted to open the other gifts too.



Thanks roomies!





My boyfie this year decided to have a theme for his Christmas gift this year. I was surprised that he thought of it. And one of my favorite characters too!




Aside from the pillow he also gave me a cute pencil case still very 'pooh'ey and a pooh shirt! I know he got all these from the kids department but I don't mind. After all I believe nobody is too old for the lovable bear!


 I also got another pillow from one of my closest friend. It was all pink but I did not have enough space in my luggage that sadly I had to leave it behind.



This Christmas it seems like i hauled a lot of gifts since I also got these from more friends:






Indeed I have been blessed. Merry Christmas!
