I have been busy creating birthday cards. Funny enough they are all for the same person! John ordered again a special card for his wife Verna for her 70th birthday and since we are all invited to celebrate with Verna, my friends Albrecht and Ross also ordered a card...

Same as last week, I didn’t really get to do much craft, but was writing a lot of my Australian cards. My German mail is all posted and will hopefully arrive early December. I had planned to write a lot more cards yesterday, but I had an unplanned 2 hour Skype...

I think I am not in the mood for typing today! I had a packed weekend and somehow I don’t feel like typing. So I will keep it short and sweet. Yesterday I had two of my friends for craft over and I made my 100th Christmas card! Of course that didn’t stop...

After a week of no sweets and lots of salad, fruits and vegetables I have lost one kilo! YEAH! I had a couple of evenings lying in bed and getting hungry, but I managed to ignore it and fall a sleep anyway. Otherwise I have continued with creating Christmas cards, but...

After having finished my last piece of birthday chocolate yesterday, I am back to not eating sweets at home. Of course I am already craving a piece of chocolate, but I guess I will be fine in a couple of days. In the meantime I keep eating fruits against the cravings....

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...

After doing a couple of scrapbooking layouts and the beyond the page project, I started creating some cards again last Sunday. I had my lovely friends Vada and Linda over and together we crafted through the afternoon. At the beginning I struggled a bit – as...

I am back from my holidays for over a week now and I am right back in the swing of work and leisure life here. As you may have noted, I had not only a holiday from work, but also from craft, blogging, sport, writing my weekly card and everything else I am doing on a...

Since I don’t really like Winter I thought I should compile a list of the positive sides of Winter to help me getting through it. Here it comes – in no particular order. What I love about Winter is that I can cuddle up in bed in my big warm Winter quilt I...
