Updated on 8 July:
I just got back to Singapore today, and my sis handed me 2 of my swap packages from Sweden & Scotland! I knew they'll be great - and they sure were! WOW! It was like a 'Welcome Home Gift' for me! I'll upload some pix next time (coz I dont have my Mac with me here). Thanks Malin & Marceline for the wonderful gifts! =D

Here's some of the lovely stuff i received from Marceline (June swap) & Malin (July swap)! Both are equally wonderful! I'm also very thankful to Malin for buying my baby's 1st gift - cute bibs from H&M! =)






















And being the scatterbrain that i am, i had forgotten which of these 2 packages these cute stuff (below) belong to. Oops! I had also misplaced the cute pink Barbapapa cellphone strap & gift cards which Malin sent me at the time of shooting this photo. Found them since...n the strap is on my cellphone now! Heehee... I might also have mixed up some of the stuff in the 2 packages! O ya, Marceline also sent me a box of delicious shortcakes cookies! ;p
