Wow, within one week I created a staggering 19 Christmas cards! I think I mostly surprised myself with this figure. Another two weeks like that and I would be done already. Sounds good in theory, but I doubt I will be able to repeat this record any time soon. I...

This year I was lagging behind with my Christmas Cards. Originally I started already in August – I think – but then I had my mum and her friend here for 5 weeks and I didn’t do any Christmas Cards in that time. Afterwards it was also going rather...

I have been busy creating and decorating my home for Christmas. Somehow I have got a much better Christmas spirit then the previous years. Maybe after 10 years I am finally getting used to a hot Christmas? Anyway, I wanted to share some of my handmade decorations with...

Having spend most of my live in Germany, I still can’t get used to Christmas occurring in the middle of summer. In fact every winter I have this though popping up in my head, telling me it must be Christmas soon. I then have to remind myself, that it is only in...
