I am beginning to get SOOO excited about Christmas. I still have a LOT of decorating to do (unlike my friend PEGGY!), and some shopping to finish (don't you just *LOVE* the Internet???), but I am already getting so excited for the season. One of the reasons I am excited is my local Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Steph Gay, has been making my holiday season brighter by hosting Christmas card making workshops. I have made 48 hand made Christmas cards, and it isn't even December 1st!! How cool is that???? By the way, this seems like the appropriate place to state that I have NEVER done handmade cards before..... And yet with Steph directing my steps, it did not seem like such a huge undertaking!!! Thanks Steph. I truly am excited about my cards this year. I thought some of you might like a sneak peak of the various styles of cards I will be sending out this year (most were made in sets of 4s or 8s).

Et voila, a few pics of my (still not fully furnitured) room (plus sleeping hunk...).
I love Thanksgiving week! Honestly, it has such significance for me. As a child, Thankgiving meant time off from school, lots and lots of preparations for a big family feast with my FAVORITE cousins (and the adult family members - ha), and the beginning of Advent - a time of preparation for Christmas.
As an adult Thanksgiving week has the added significance of being my wedding anniversary. My dh and I were married my senior year in college - we were married the weekend before Thanksgiving (so that I had time off for the honeymoon). This year, my anniversary was Sunday. It was nice for it NOT to fall on Wednesday or Thursday - dh, our younger son, and I had a nice, though busy, day.
I was just thinkin about my promise to myself to write more in Italian and Norwegian or whatever language I posses any skills in. But on the other hand, I do not know many people who are fluent in Italian, Norwegian, German , Polish and Serbian for instance. To be more accurate- I do not know a single person, so I am gonna drop this plan like a hot potatoe and continue in English.
I am sitting in a train at the moment, with my Boyfriend. We had the glorious idea to drive trough the whole region of Lower Saxony and study in the meantime. It's not exactly being put into practice like this but still. We just passed Hannover and our on our way up north. When leaving Gottinga I realised that were most likely missing the NorthDerby (Hamburger SV vs. Werder Bremen, but I guess we will survive?!)
Were at his parents yesterday, and something really curious happened while his father s
Anyways, I should really do something for Uni. Or finish reading the Spiegel at least ;).

Upadate : We made it til Uelzen and than went back. Had a chat with a housemate (whose name is Marian) til the middle of the night and today we went shopping- my Love bought me the most beautiful shoes ever. Also a lot of other thingies. Now I gotta do something to my hair, I have a meeting with a studying group.

Remember last week when I wrote of attending a swarm/crop? And remember those elusive pages I claimed to have scrapped? Yes, well, here they are... FINALLY. I finally photograhed them (when I photographed this week's BBTB challenge... check back tomorrow!!).
This first layout is of my new "Grand-pup", Magnus. My son got a baby Puggle (Pug+Beagle=Puggle) and is just enjoying him so much. I will get to meet the new grandpup when they come home this week for Thanksgiving!!
This is my daughter and her college house mates when they visited a pumpkin farm. I have not yet scrapped the carving of the pumpkin photos... those are FUNNY!!
This is my younger son passing out halloween candy to the Trick or Treaters. He is dressed as a comic book character, but apparently not being the coolest mom, I cannot remember who he is!!! Big sigh.... I worried about Ian & Barack scaring away the little kids, but apparently the lust for candy out weighed the fear of the tall guy!
These are some adorable photos of my son and his friend Kristen. I love their smiles.
Bethany was jealous that Ian had a photo shoot with "Barack" so she had to get in on the action while home on fall break.
So you see, I really did scrap a few pages at the swarm!!! I also made a few cards, etc.
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry
Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
Kan du handle det? I almost can't :). Magnificent. Believe me! Yesterday while studying (okay I was more surfing the web but whatever) I noticed tiny little snowflakes swirling outside! I nearly went nuts- I was THAT excited. I guess I scared my hunk like hell, when running around like a crazy addict. But he took it with grace. He really did.
Just finished writting an essay for my Italian Course ( I wrote about an unforgettable journey my best friend Ulla and me made almost three years ago to Andalucia). I must say that I am impressed, I think I am really into writing (or I am talking something in my head, and it's not sense!). Talking about an overdose of self-confidence : Lately it's been getting on my nerves that people, who want us to know (= want to be considered that way) they are intelligent and rich, tell it aloud. Do you really have to?! Don't you know it's classless?! An intelligent person doesn't have to say he or she is, and neither does a rich one. From my point of view it simply indicates a very poor character of yours. It doesn't impress, you do not gain from it and nor does it make you a person of consequence.
A second matter : I hate people who are moaning and whining arou
Just wanna say :)
Amen and peace,
I am back to my papers!
Cheers!
I am so cheesed off, this is why I am not writing in here that frequently. University keeps me busy as hell, so I try to use the little free time I have left for my boyfriend and to catch up with e-mails etc. Apart from that- Novemeber seems, just as July and May to be the month, when most of my friends celebrate their birthdays. It's incredible, but I had to congratulate someone every day! Quite impressive.
I wish you all, one more time- all the very best. With many happy returns of the day!
Anyways (seems to be my favourite word for starters by the way, did you notice?!), I just wanna survive this week and concentrate on my next tasks. I am sitting an exam in political science next week, which is said to be tough. I already hate the fact that the exam will have something to do with science. More theoretic stuff no one really needs.
Today is footie time, and I have a meeting with my girls. I do not know how to keep it short, but I have to,priorities are priorities..... The biggest clash for sure : England versus Germany. Two teams I sincerely do not support and never will. They are just as bad as the Dutch and France!
I am currently reading some really good articles by Rick Stevens about the former Yugoslavia. I love them. If you wish to catch a glimpse as well, here is the link.
Righty right, below a video by Beyonce. It's one of her newest singles, called "If I were a boy".
I love the lyrics, the idea and her voice, perspectively!
This is it,
Loads of hugs!

I had a busy weekend. I attended a swarm/crop with my local scrapping friends. I found most Saturday to be very frustrating. The highlights included making a 12x12 "Happy Thanksgiving" page to display on an easel outside my boss's office, and scrapping some pages in the evening. The majority of the day, however, was one long exercise in frustration. I was attemping to work on the BBTB challenge using a tree from SYI in a Christmas theme. After many, many hours of work, I really did not like my card. I debating skipping this challenge, and ultimately I wish I had skipped.
So back to Saturday - I did scrap several pages that I liked and I will post photos of those later this evening. Sunday was better only in that I had no challenge to create and could just scrap. I have a lot of photos to scrap.... We did take a group photo as we had entered the group on the Swarm drawing at Cricut.com. It would be amazing if we actually win.....
I just realized how far behind I really am in my scrapping! I am trying to keep books for each of my children and a family book current. I decided to make my Christmas cards this year, though I am nearly done with all of those. And I also have four Christmas gift projects started. One of them is far, far behind - sorry Mom. One will be easy to finish. And the last two... well, they will require hours and hours of work. I really am going to have to dig into those two projects in order to have them under the tree from Santa-mom. I would go into more detail but a certain "girl child" of mine will occasionally check out my blog and I do not want to tip her off. But I do think she and her older brother will like these projects A LOT.
Well, I will try try to remember to add the photos later this evening.....
I overslept nearly on purpose! I am hopeless. A hopeless case indeed! Tell me how retarded does a person have to be to act like this?! Just went to the grocery's, at least we have a proper breakfast with my hunk.
Wish you all a nice day.
Remember it's Veteran's Day en Pologne <3
The ever-creative Regina Easter challenged the BBTB design team this week with using the Mickey & Friends Icon Car in a Christmas design. I must admit, this was a bit of a challenge. I finally decided to run with the thought of Santa visiting the tree farm in pursuit of his own yule time green. I was able to use three different Christmas trees from different cartridges, as well as a cute, cute frame from SYI.
... for these incredible, magical six months
full of love and happiness.
I am so much looking forward for the next ones,
and than for the next ones, and again
and again.
I love you!!!!!
House warming party survived (my liver and throat a bit less), though my hair ironer has disappeared! And I solmenly swear here and now, once I find the darn thief, I am gonna burn him or her a whole in his or her cheek with this very (MY!!!!!) hair ironer! Damn you! How am I supposed to go to University now?! With curly hair?????!!! Are you serious or kidding me? Hmpf!
Party pics to follow, a friend of mine took them, so I have to wait ! All in all it was a good one. I had fun til three or four in the morning- especially because two mid-school friends came over and surprised me (I love you girls!) and than a friend from the Balkan. He brought over yet another guys (also from there and the second one was from India) so it was fun!
Though this bash has shown me something imperative- I am getting old. I am still recovering from it! Can you handle that? Cause I can't! Horrible. I am becoming a no-go!
Well this night a well-kown lady passed away- Miriam Makeba was her name, also known as Mama Africa. She was not only the most know singer from South Africa but also a passionate fighter against the Apartheid ( I supppose everyone knows what that was?!).
Her most popular song (that brought her fame) was "Pata pata" .
Now she is on the better side!
Today it is also six months since we sticked together with my Love. Incredible- time flies by like nothing but on the other hand it feels like I have been knowing my Heart forever!
So this is all my Lovebirds,
Stay as you are
Xoxo
Gail, of the Cricut Message Board, is hosting a file swap. Each participant must design at least one character (not already on the cartridge) using the PDDU cartridge and send the cut file to Gail. She will share the cut files with everyone in the swap. So far there is an ADORABLE Hulk character. Someone else is making Strawberry Shortcake. How cute will that be? I am hoping to get time to create a second set of characters - Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy! But my first set is featured here: Barack and Michelle Obama! Frankly I think Michelle would have issue with her paper doll; Michelle is much prettier. Barack came out okay, though. And just like during the campaign season when they appeared together, his tie matches her dress! Did anyone else notice that? Someone at the McCain campaign must have noticed, near the end John's tie would match Cindy's suit/dress. I like the coordinated couples look - call me silly, but they just look so darn cute when they coordinate!
Long time no see. I feel ashamed again. I assume though it is due to the fact, that I do have the impression, my English is- to the contrary what I have been thinking - bad. Since I am frequenting translation and various other courses held in this wonderful language, I cannot stop wondering about what fool I have been! Especially in translation I do see more and more, that there is still so much I do not know about the English language. Have to work that up I guess?!
Anyways, November has finally arrived (and everyone knows I am not fond of this month!). I must admitt however, that it ain't THIS bad this year, and I even know why ;-P. Today is our house warming party, and I have lost control of whom I invited and whom not. I am the walking chaos, literally!
The best is- even friends, who are currently out of town (Erasmus in Italy or some studies in other German cities) are coming over! This is so ace! Even though I am over the moon because of this fact, someone important is missing, which hurts immensly! My boyfriend had to rush off with his corporation somewhere in Eastern Germany. It is a pity, since a friend of both of us is here, and they can't possibly meet. A pity. Really!!!
Apart from that, every-day business. University, Seid and life. I am more than a happy girl, even though I share the both worries as the majority of us.
I guess this is how it should be!
Of course I can't help but yell out my joy about Obama's victory. I already had hard times in defending my choice. But as I wrote, I fully supported and still do him!
My Sis got married in Octobre in Marocco. From me, one more congrat! I am happy for the both of you! And wish you all the best on your long, long way of a happily married life!
Okay I am getting ready, need some beauty treatment.
Loads of juicy kisses!
P.S - One of my favourite songs by the always incredible KILLERS. Enjoy!
