I recieved some lovely HK items from wonderful people through Postcrossing "tags"

From Fadonathai (Thailand) from the "HK, Carebears, & other cute characters tag" *I requested for HK items of course!*
Also check out the pretty Thailand postcards!

Of course I chose her "Hello Kitty theme" :D

Introduction & sorts

Many may be wonder "why?"

Why am I blogging my HK collection?

Well...I'm an avid swapper on Postcrossing & a handful Yahoo groups, and many swappers know my #1 item on my swapping "wishlists" are HELLO KITTY items! My friends & family all know how much I <3 HK & have already been exposed to my growing HK collection. I thought it would be nice to share some of the HK items I have collected with other HK-fans, especially those special people I have swapped with or who have sent me HK items through tags & privates swaps.

So here you will find various HK items I have collected - most I've purchased myself or received as gifts & some items through swaps. I've also influenced my daughter's love for HK! We love to shop for HK items together. She's a little artist so naturally she loves to get HK coloring books, crayons, notebooks, & pens to color & doodle her creative pictures.

Enjoy!
