Secret Bunny 2016

Hello everyone!
Hope you're doing fine. As many of you (Greek bloggers) know, Zina from Ef Zin creations has once more successfully organized the Secret Bunny Easter gift exchange.



In a previous post I have given you a glimpse of the things I have prepared for my secret bunny.


I've made a necklace just for her in two of her favorite colors, purple and white.
I also put inside the package some Easter chocolate goodies and a little handmade card with Easter wishes.
Now that the game is finally over, I can reveal the identity of my secret bunny: It is Aimilia from Prosinemi, a very talented crafter and blogger who creates lovely jewelry, Easter candles, bookmarks etc. so please check her out!

And now let me show you the things I got from my personal secret bunny:


Despoina from The Smell of Mommy and All beauty included has prepared an absolutely fabulous package for me.
She decorated a small pink wooden box with the decoupage technique in Easter patterns.
She also gave me a pair of earrings and a necklace, along with a rosemary scented body oil.
What's more, she put in the box a cute turquoise blue ribbon for my baby girl.
It was a such a lovely surprise!
Thank you so very much Despoina!
P. S. Thank you Zina for organizing all of this! Once more, we' ve had a great time!

Secret Santa for bloggers 2015


Hello and Happy New Year everyone!
May this new year bring you love, joy,health,prosperity and anything you have dreamed and hoped for!
Today I am writing about this beloved habbit that Greek bloggers have got for about a couple of years- if I remember correctly that is:
The exchanging of gifts and wishes for Christmas and Easter which is something that all of us look forward to.
Zina from Efzin-creations is the one responsible for organizing all of it and I would like to thank her so much for that.
This year my Secret Santa was Katerina from Κυριακή στο σπίτι (which means Sunday at home in Greek -http://sundaysprojects.blogspot.gr/) and she sent me a beautiful handmade wooden candle holder along with a red candle and a card full of warm Christmas wishes.
I was really thrilled about this lovely gift which found a place at a corner of my living room very soon.

Thank you Katerina for your gift and thank you Zina for making once more the Secret Santa a wonderful event to look forward to!

My secret bunny

Hello everyone!
Hope you're doing fine.
It's been a long time since I had to write this particular post but due to so many personal obligations I never did.
But better late than ever I guess...
Here I am with my post about the Easter gift exchange that Zina from EfZincreations organized for bloggers (Zina had also organized the Christmas gift exchange which was a blast and gave joy and excitement to all of us!).
This time the name of the exchange was Ah kounelaki! (which means oh little bunny in Greek).
The person I received gifts from was to my great pleasure and surprise someone I deeply admire and appreciate for her multi-talent personality and that I happen to know in person: Ariadne from Ariadne fromGreece.
Ariadne had a huge package made just for me and my current personal situation which is something that I didn't share with you up to now and it's high time I did:
Tah dah! I'm pregnant with my first baby, ladies and gentlemen, and hopefully I'll give birth in about a month from now.
So Ariadne who knew about it from the questionnaire I filled in about two months ago made all the goodies  I received precisely for this special occasion.
It was kind of a mini baby shower for me and I enjoyed it the minute I opened the package.
First of all, everything was sooo well and carefully put together as you can see in this picture.


Then I was so pleased with the way Ariadne wrapped each and every present.
All full of love and positive energy!

She also wrote a card with warm wishes with which I was very touched.

She put some  Easter chocolate eggs as a treat into the box ,


a beautiful colorful handmade soap made by Karalis soap

and one of the beautiful felt stones she makes herself in my favorite color, blue.




Last but not least, she stitched a little baby picture in the same color and even had it framed for me.


She was also very kind to ask me if I' m expecting a boy or a girl so that she could replace the stitch with a different color!(She couldn't ask me in advance because -you know- this would ruin the secret bunny surprise).
So given the fact that I'm expecting a baby girl she made a new stitch in bold pink for me!!


What can I say, I'm so excited and moved by all these!
Thank you so much Ariadne!
And thank you Zina for organizing -once more- a wonderful event for us!
