happy sad

Posted on September 12, 2006 by mariko

I was really excited to get a big blue package from swap queen extraordinaire ANJALI. Seriously, she should go into business as a professional swapper, because she has a sixth sense about what swap recipients want. It’s a little spooky. So anyway, of course Anjali sent some candy:

Some black sesame-flavored Pocky and yogurt- and pineapple-flavored chews. Yum.
I also requested another pink lip balm. Apparently there are two types of this lip balm–one that is a light pink and one that is a deeper pink. Anjali sent me the light pink one last time, so I was curious about the deeper pink one. It is incredible! I am totally sold on the deep pink one. She also sent another lip balm that is “shiny pink-beige” (the one on the right):

Super cute little hedgehog paper bag, huh? I am so going to scan that puppy!
But the piece de resistance? This swap was about T-shirts, my friends, and not just any old T-shirts! Japanese T-shirts!

Aren’t they fantabulous? The one with the airplanes says, “The sky goes on forever.” Yes it does! Anyway, now I come to the meaning of this post’s title. I want to wear the heck out of these T-shirts, but today was the last 80 degree day in Portland, maybe until next summer! I was even too cold to wear one today. Tomorrow the clouds and rain move in, and I can’t go around thrusting my T-shirt designs into people’s faces! But yes, I can layer. Maybe I should go look for some of those “layering tees” or “tissue tees” or whatever those things are called?

    Can we say “freezer paper stencils”? Make yourself a long-sleeved hedgehog family tshirt!

    I got your package today! But I’ll write you a separate email about that.
    I really like this shirt for layering. Kind of expensive, but worth it.
    And you should know that I bought those hedgehog bags fully intending to hoard them all for myself, but I decided, “You know what? Mariko deserves a hedgehog bag.” And you totally do.

    What great goodies! I love your enthusiasm with your swap treats… it’s very contagious and makes me want to send something or create something… or do something. Good job on your Super Buzzy site too…. been meaning to tell you that.

    You can also wear your cute tees under a zippy hoody and let the cute design peek out, so long as you don’t zip it all the way.
