 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Graph. Thank you for watching my video today. I wanted to just share with you some happy mail that I've received. Yay! I never receive happy mail. It's hard for me to get it living in China. I totally get it and it's nice when I do get some. So I've had it. I've had the odd bit over the last few years but this is just absolutely blown me away. So a lovely lady called Sandy contacted me and very very nice said you know she really enjoys my tutorials and I had recently expressed how much I loved Whittaker's Chocolate and Rosie's Studio paper crafts which are both from New Zealand. Sandy's from New Zealand and said that she would like to send me some things. So would I mind sharing my address? So of course I said yes. Fingers crossed that it all got here okay. It has taken a little bit of time but it has arrived and wow I can't believe it. So I have opened it. I've had a little sneak peek and I've read the lovely message that Sandy has sent me. So I'm just going to take this little bit off of camera there. I don't think that would give you any information and I just let me push this to one side. There we go and then I can start pulling everything out. So Sandy's I have already read this and I'm not going to read everything out but just kind of in a nutshell. Sandy has been crafting for only little just little over a year she said and she goes to a weekly scrapbook car class and scrapbook class and she has she's already won. I think how many times did you say since she started contest put up a card every week everyone votes and she's won four times since it started in 10 weeks. So that's amazing considering only been crafting for a year and some of the things that I've made and she's done the cards they have won and it was the flower bouquet that won her recently so that was brilliant and she's just added a few of the projects that she's made there and things that I've inspired her and it was just some lovely lovely words that she's right there so I was really really touched by that so thank you so much Sandy. So look at all these goodies I can't believe it. So this is the Rosie studio some of the collection this is their newest one actually which they've just started releasing so super pleased to get that so there's a mix of stuff from Sandy's own craft stash and bits and pieces that she sent me so I've got more Rosie studios these are the puffy stickers with all the phrases so again love them these are just more phrases from one of the collections so I can't get enough of those bits butterflies you all know I love butterflies these are used on a scrapbook layout so now I've used them so now I've got them again perfect absolutely love that these are lovely these are a mix of stickers and then it's those words again and then more stickers again I'm sharing my scrapbook layouts with you so I'll be using these this one here is more of the these are epoxy stickers these are lovely they've got that really nice I mean it's got the shine there let me take this out just so you can see just how lovely these are can you see the all the shine on them there they're lovely really really love these so oh it's so good now when I see other people when they open their happy mail this is like oh it's lovely um then I have what's this one here washi tape scotch washi tape oh it's grass look at that so let me get my camera so I'm doing this in the evening now it's all got grass trim so that's going to look really nice when I do those scenes on my

collection here it's very kind of I guess around like swans and ballerinas and stuff like that it's really really lovely okay so this I recognize so this is the pocket letter that I shared a few quite possibly maybe a month ago now or so I'll share any links to the tutorials below but I've done these pocket letters and I loved doing this so this is one that Soundie's made so let's take this off okay this has traveled a long way so this has come from New Zealand to China so if we have it's got here in one piece oh this is beautiful oh we've got one there that's come off I'll find where that goes in a minute so let's have a look let's start up here first of all so I've got some little these look like chipboard letters and I'm going to guess that this is going to spell out my name oh I can feel the other one there we go yeah oh they're cute I love these so I've got there so I've got three three chipboard letters and they're all shiny you can see there with my name on love them I'm going to put that somewhere in my craft room actually and keep it as it is like that I like that so that's that one little velcro one this one here is oh that's a great idea so this is just a really long um ribbon what Soundie's done is popped double-sided tape all on the back of it there and that's a really nice way to do it actually I didn't do that when I done the tutorial I didn't put the ribbon like this but I really like that way of gifting it and it just sits there really nicely that's great and then we've got this other little pocket here and this one we have some little embellishments we've got butterflies flowers got some little cards there like some little frames and they're all on foam as well so they're going to be great just to add into my cards it's really cute and then here we've got I love these these look like stamps they're like puffy stamps and I love the stamps got handmade with love there there's one I think down here Kiaora from New Zealand really nice I love these and
