I'm right in the inbetween time, this is a good time for a new post.
After Christmas, before the new year.. That's a weird time of the year, don't you find?

Anyway.. You're probably all wondering if I had a great Christmas... Well, Yes, I have.
If you remember this entry, where I said that I didn't want to spend a penny on my gifts this year, I almost haven't! And I'm really proud of myself. I decided to make a huge bunch of truffles, which I could give to everyone I'd like to give a present to. So I did them, and put them into sweet boxes. (Actually, to find the boxes was the hardest part). Here's what it looked like:

I had 102 truffles in total:

(if you count them, you can see I ate two )

Here's a close up on the little boxes:


And a close up on a big box (for people I loved more, I assume ):


Other than that, I spent money on 3 person's gifts, and it was under 30$ each, so I'm pretty proud of my self...

I also received some really cool gifts , ohh yes I did !
I had made a little exposition of all of them, and took a picture, but I accidently deleted the pic, so you cannot see them... So I'll make a list, for you all to be jealous. It looks like I'm loved:

My mom gave me: 30$ for Ceramic Caf (a place where you can paint your own ceramic stuff), lots of hairdressing accessories, some funky tights, a painting set, with paper, acrylic, brushes and other accessories, some drawing crayons, a really cute diary and some pot.
Vincent gave me: 4 blank plates I could paint at Ceramic Caf (and it wasn't organized with my mom), plus the 2 dvds of Tool.
Mekzym gave me: A Little Apple Doll, a beautiful hand painted wood box, which was full of roses petals, filled with an Ipod Nano, a hand painted mask, a ring with onyx stones and a panty. ( ♥ )
Vincent's mom gave me a beautiful CK scarf.
Mekzym's mom gave me 75$ of gift certificate for Yves Rocher.
Mekzym's dad gave me a reading light and some chocolate.
My mom's friend gave me some Ice Cider and a check for a payment on my school fees.
My bosses gave me a Fruits & Passion shower kit, with Orange and Melon perfume.
My coworker drew me a really beautiful representation of the queen of spades.

And I think that's it. And it's more than enough. I feel overwhelmed by love and giving. People are so nice to me, cause this year is I think the only one I can say I loved everything I received. It feels good, cause it means people who gave me things really know me.

To conclude this huge entry, I'll finish by showing you what I looked like on Christmas Eve (and yes, I drunk myself out at the family party)




Have a good night, day, week all, and I'm curious: What's the present that touched you the most that you received this year?
