A Book, a Card and Sheep Swag

Yesterday the last book we ordered with the spending money we got from Sinterklaas arrived! I already read this book because I borrowed it from a friend, but it was such a cool book I wanted to have my own copy. Once again: thanks Sinterklaas!

There's still Christmas cards arriving and some are just gorgeous, like this one that I got from Marlowe.
Thanks Marlowe: I love it!

And today I got all this cool Sheep Swag!
I won it over at I Smell Sheep, a really fun review blog.
Thanks, Katie, Sharon and all the other sheep!

Domo Blue

When I got home from work today there was a little blue creature running around the house!

It was a Domo!
Marlowe send it to us and Easter Domo is super happy he now has another Domo living here.

Thanks Marlowe!

I'm a Toy Tourist

I got this cool award from Marlowe!

"I'm A Toy Tourist!" Award
Who's a Toy Tourist?? Any toy who travels around, takes photos and shares their adventures!

I'm supposed to pass this award on to others, but as all my animal friends already have gotten this award as far as I know, I will just state that any toy who hasn't got this award yet and wants it, can claim it.

Piggy Easter Mail

There was mail today for me and my owner and it had piggy stickers on the envelope.

It turned out to be a lovely Easter card from Marlowe and his Mom.

Thanks Marlowe!
We hope you have a great Easter.

Work Fun and Mail

It was the birthday of one of our co-workers today and her desk was all decorated!

She brought yummie food to celebrate her birthday, like these 'slagroomsoesjes' (small pastry filled with whipped cream).

I got a 'koffieschuimpje' (Not sure how to explain what it is, it's some kind of sugary foam).

When I got home there was mail from Marlowe!
The stamp said it was send on december 14th! Wow, it took a month to get to me.

It was a beautiful Christmas card and two great pictures that Marlowe's Mom took. One is of Neil Gaiman (Marlowe's Mom got to meet him, I'm very jealous ;-) ) and the other is of Marlowe and Caleb. Isn't it an awesome picture!

Thanks Marlowe!

Renovation and Mail

It's been rather quiet here the last few days, but today was a special day.

They finished the renovation of our house!!

Looks good on the outside. I wonder how the inside looks.

They put a new wall in our livingroom which makes it about 12 centimeters smaller. Not too happy with that, but they say it will be warmer and there will be less noise from the neighbours.

Random picture of the lovely sky outside.

Hey! What's this?
I know for sure that wasn't on the wall when we left!

Ehm... Eww!
I do not even want to know what that is.

And this doesn't look good either.

And I'm not entirely sure, but I do not think a window is supposed to look like this.

Ah, this is more like it.

All in all they did a nice job though, apart from the writing and weird spots and stuff. But we'll have a lot of work to do to get it all liveable again. Luckily we have a month to repaint and recarpet the house.

Just as we were about to leave to go back to our temporary house there was mail! The first mail after the renovation and it was for me!

So I took it with me and once we were at our temporary house I got out my letter opener.

It was a lovely Halloween card from Marlowe and his Mom!

Thanks Marlowe! It came at just the right moment!

Mail!

Today we checked the mailbox at our house (the one that's being renovated) and there was mail for me!

Look, it had a pig on the back of the envelope.

It turned out to be a card from Marlowe and his Mom.
They included stickers of barn animals including the pig that was also on the back of the envelope.

And these beautiful pictures of some of my North American cousins. They look healthy and it looks like they have lots of fun.

Thanks Marlowe! I'm very happy with this great mail!

Lots of Cool Mail!

Yesterday there was lots of mail for me and my owner!

We got this lovely card and beautiful flower picture from Marlowe and his Mom. Thanks Marlowe, we love it!

There was a book I won at vvB32 Reads' Werewolf Weekend.
vvB32: I started reading it right away and it's a great read sofar! Thanks.

And last, but certainly not least there was a really cool package from Eve! There's pig shaped soap, pig shaped erasers, candy, beautiful cards, bookmarks, a small book and more!

I really love these: Artist Trading Cards that Eve made herself. The middle one is my favourite.

Schmorg really liked this card with a sentiment about chocolate on it. He hopes that if he shows it to us long enough we'll get the hint and buy him chocolate.

There also was a lovely Alice in Wonderland shirt for my owner! She tried it on immediately, but wouldn't pose for a picture, but I can tell it looks good on her.

The little book is about Mr. Mischief and it got very cool drawings. My owner tells me she used to read Mr. books as a kid, so is very glad to own one of the Mr. books now.

Thanks Eve, it's a lovely package!

Stalked by Cats and a Card!

Today I felt like I was being stalked by cats! First there was one on the shed again this morning...

And when we got home from work there was another one following us! Creepy...

Once safely inside, away from the cats, I saw there was a postcard for me!
It was from Marlowe. Thanks Marlowe!
I love getting mail from my friends!
