diary of the past month (part 2) ♬♪♫

welcome to part 2~! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

i'll just continue where i left off, hehe~ next up is an all too familiar subject here on my blog~ the mail update with absolutely lovely letters from my penpals~ ♪ ♪

the following letter is from none other than georgia~ 

she's truly one of the most lovely and creative souls i've ever met ! 

loving the magazine scraps and the stationery is very charming and inspirational~ 

one of her quaint handmade postcards~! super happy with this one, although i will definitely be keeping it instead of sending it into the world~ (✿´‿`)

tammy's art style is the cutest~ ♡ i was a fan ever since i saw her art on tumblr for the first time~ it's still a dream come true to be able to correspond with her~

her doodles make everything magical~! •*¨*✧

i asked her to draw what she liked to eat~ i always like to ask people that question for some reason~i guess i think it says something about you as a person ! 

therefore to remain in the right spirit~

random shot of a croissant and fresh mint tea, because i really really love taking pictures of yummy things i eat~ 

i also discovered this really cute café called 'set genki tei'~ it's pretty small, but the interior design is too cute~! i think it's going to be my standard hang-out whenever i feel like drinking a nice cup of tea~ they also serve homemade calpis and hello kitty cheesecakes~! 

brush, pen and paper~ (๑╹っ╹๑) °˖✧

good day everyone~ 

as expected university has been keeping me busy, but i finally found the time to update my blog today ! i've got lots of things to share~ 

let's start with some letters ! ♪♪

this one was sent to my penpal tammy~ 

a close-up of the envelope and postcard~

i drew out a little idea i've been wanting to make for a while~ a memory jar ! i believe i saw the concept floating around and it basically is about keeping a jar which you'll fill with small notes of happy memories, so you can always look back on those great moments.. no matter how small or big ! 

as you can see this one was for the lovely georgia~ ☆

to my surprise the envelopes here are starch white as opposed to a natural brown, so i tried to make it less blanch ! 

she's getting married soon, so i drew her a small celebratory postcard~

 i wish you two all the love and blessings in the world~!! 

as thank you for everything, i got oppa a gift which had to be scribbled on of course~ ♪

and to conclude this post, some art i drew recently~ i'm especially fond of the first one ! ♡

when things are rough, don't dwell too much on them and try to remain positive~ it's very hard at times, but it'll benefit you in the long run !

kiki's delivery service fan art in commemoration of hayao miyazaki's retirement~

thank you for all the fantastic creations that'll continue to wonder for years to come ! 

lastly a piece to herald the colder seasons~ time for hot chocolate and fluffy scarfs ! 

abunai & 生日~ (ﾉ> ▽ <)ﾉ♪

i hope everyone's doing well~ ♪

today i have a report on abunaicon and my birthday which followed some days after~!

it's quite a nice ending to my summer break~ 

my classes are starting next week.. on one hand, i'm looking forward to the new year, but i also hope i'll have time to update my blog~

abunaicon was from 23th to 25th of august and as usual i was a volunteer for an organisation called 'ani-nation' which is run by a friend's sister~ we're there to host events/workshops for the con-goers ! 

i'm in charge of the ani-dolls workshop where you can customize your own blank doll with paint markers~ it's really fun and some people come up with amazing designs~!

me working on a sketch.. ~  (*´∀`*)

birthday gifts from a friend and you can also see the mikasa doll i made~ (⌒▽⌒)☆

this year i decided to keep it simple and just went out for dinner with my mum to celebrate my 19th birthday which was on the 1st of september~ 

yummy dimsum~ 

oppa gifted me a 3ds and animal crossing.. ~ (；▽；)

i'm so grateful ! ♡ thank you so much~!! 

i've been doing nothing else the past few days.. -embarrassed-

he also made a super sweet site and birthday video for me ! click here~

i can't express my gratitude enough ! ☆

... and then a few days after i got this really sweet letter from georgia wishing me a happy birthday~ 

she included so much pretty gifts.. it really made my day !

and lastly my own birthday haul.. ~ the candy is really nice~ ♪ ♪

onto next year~! thanks for reading~

letter from japan~ ♪♪

good afternoon everyone~ ✿

i've been hiding home the past few days because i had the last of my wisdom teeth removed, but the doctor messed up a bit and things got complicated... i've been on the recovering side though so that's good~ (｡･ω･｡)

the mailman came today and i heard a thud on the floor, so i rushed over and was very much delighted to find this letter waiting on the doormat~! 

it's from my new penpal tammy who also happens to be one of my favourite tumblr artists~ 

please do check out her blog here ! ♡

she sent me a really cute pair of socks (can't go wrong with florals and lace~) and even alpaca stickers ! it's as if she has known me for years.. haha~

the highlight for me was the original piece of art though.. since i like her art so much, it felt like acquiring an expensive painting to me ! (๑・ω-)～♥”

that concludes my post for today ! ✿
