Australia Day

Last week it seemed that Belgium was having an Australia Day. Or maybe it was just my letter box? Anyway, it did make the distance between Belgium and Australia seem a lot smaller, since it felt like my bloggy friends arrived on my doorstep and left me a present.
First a sweet card and gift arrived from sweet Elise. A Christmas bauble complete with kangaroos and koalas now has a special place on my Christmas tree. Thank you so much Elise! I'm sure I'm the only person in Belgium to have one, so I will definitely treasure this unique gift!
Then, another parcel arrived from Down Under, from lovely Tanya. Isn't it just beautiful?! Since it is dated, it will always make me think of the first year I started blogging and made such great friends. Thank you Tanya, for my lovely keepsake gift!


I have to admit that I wasn't feeling up to writing cheerful Christmas cards last week, but of course I'm not forgetting about my snail mail friends. I think I have zero chance that my Christmas wishes will get to you still before Christmas, but you can keep an eye on your mailboxes anyway!
