Elmo Dreams

i am not an original Elmo fan...

but a friend of mine and her daughter inspired me to make Elmo my daughter's character 

(well at least for now, while she can't decide yet for herself)...
 

so mummy's sticking to her Elmo theme... 

been buying a few Elmo stuff even before i gave birth to Yulia...
 

but i cannot really say i am collecting Elmo... 

it wasn't like i am getting out of my way just to get them...
 

i only get those which i have easy access to...
 

like those in UFO machines here in Yokohama... 

my friends and i were able to complete all 7 colors of the Elmo Dreams!
 

these colorful Elmos are only available in Japan at the moment... 

so i am taking the opportunity to hoard as much as i can from Taito's UFO machines

these are also available in Rakuten, but i dont wanna spend that much 

plus the fun and thrill in getting them have made these Elmos priceless

it will be the theme for my daughter's first birthday this coming October...
 

i have sent home the extra Elmos which i have piled up here in my flat... 

i am just glad my daughter's enjoying them!

"happy 10th month birthday Elmo Gurl! 
 mummy misses you so much..."

My ELMO Loot here in Japan for the little one

Her Elmo Hair Ties, which will have to wait at least 3-5 yrs more 

before she can wear them, as they are too big!!!

Elmo Headset with my old Ipod Nano...

Elmo spoon & forks..

An Elmo bag and purses which i got on sale..

I dont have these yet but a friend from Hawaii will bring a few packs of these for Yulia's birthday.. They will be used as toppers for the cuppies...

Her souvenirs will be mini stools like this Elmo on the photo in 7 colors.. :)

Her cake will be Elmo Dreams themed as well... it's gonna be almost same as this one, but the character lollies at the base cake will be Elmo Dreams in 6 colors instead of the sesame street characters.. why 6?? because the Elmo topper will be red Elmo already... :)

and i am so CONTEMPLATING on getting this one for my daughter.. but it will be so much hassle to bring it home.. they might ask me for Elmo's passport and Air Ticket! hahaha!
