Swaps Received Today

Every Thursday [Philippine time] I would pay a visit to the main post office to claim parcels and packages that were sent with the customs forms on them, you see any envelope no matter how small gets stuck at the main post office when they have the attached green custom's form. So it'd take a while for me to get them ... ever since I joined swap-bot I have been getting and sending loads and loads of mails on a close to daily basis. So lets take a look at them now shall we?

My Very First Dotee Doll

I am in a swap over at swap-bot created for those who almost failed Home Economics back in high school and it was challenging, I don't know about you but I can neither cook nor sew they're just no my cup of tea and it scary but I managed to create my very first dotee doll. True it doesn't hold a candle to the gorgeous ones created by pros over at flickr but I made it on my own, my very first and it's the effort and the thought that counts. Right? lol ... Just say yes ok? Bwahahaha anyways lets look at it ....

From Ana

I met Ana via flickr when I commented on the photos of my letter set collection and asked if we could do a swap which I readily agreed. She received my swap way before I received hers and I was getting kinda worried. I have been flaked on several times and I hate getting flaked on again. But I got her swap today and lets take a look at them.







They are lovely. Thanks much Ana!

Disappointed


- hello kitty face bento box
- small rilakumma mug
- monokuro boo letter pad
- mini notebook
- sticky notes
- 3 monokuro boo pens
- cute spoon, fork and knife
- 2 rolls of small deco tapes
- loose mashimaro letter sheets
- a cute small piggy bank

I took a photo of the items I have assembled for my kawaii bento swap over at swap-bot and I was really excited about it. I thought I went above and beyond with what I have picked; I thought the Hello Kitty face bento box was really cute so I bought it and didn't mind that it cost me 12.50 USD  but apparently they weren't up to standards of what's kawaii and what's not.

The swap requirements stated: Fill the box with fun, bento and kawaii related items. Feel free to include things too big to fit in the box. (Bento accessories, kawaii stationary, Japanese snacks).

I thought a Monokuro Boo letter pad would be considered a kawaii stationery and I also thought this was sender's choice but apparently since my partner only collects a certain design she didn't appreciate them. I understand her distress and disappointment when my package arrived in such a mess but to be told the items I sent her were just randomly thrown together was disheartening. I checked over her flickr photos and saw that the mug had indeed broken to which am terribly sorry but to be questioned if they cost 10 USD was just ... *sigh* never mind. I should have known better than to join swaps with specific amounts; things are priced differently in each location.

When I joined the swap I didn't know we were to look for specific kawaii items our assigned partners like. I will assemble another package for her this would probably be the most distressing and expensive swap I have ever joined.

Lesson learned this time ... my idea of kawaii definitely didn't meet other people's standard. *sigh*
