Yummy Homemade Christmas Goodies

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones :)

Even though it's Christmas today is Sunday so it's time for another blog post.

You know, there's nothing I love more than giving self-made goodies for Christmas. Especially baked goods are the perfect Christmas gift in my opinion. This Christmas season I planned to do a lot of cookie baking. Unfortunately as I already told you I got sick and nothing I planned actually worked out. So I had to come up with some last-minute ideas...

Oh and by the way, Kristin contacted me in the meantime concerning the biscuits. She shared them with her lovely daughter and even Australian shepherd lady Hanneli took a bite. They all loved them, which makes me soooo happy :)

Thanks for watching and see you soon!

Merry Christmas!!

Hello everyone,

this will be my last blog post before the Christmas Holidays. Therefore it is about time to wish every single on of you wonderful Christmas Holidays and a great time with your family and loved ones :)

This year I decided to craft all the Christmas Cards myself instead of buying any. Here's a selection of the results. I decided to keep things simple this year.

I think they turned out quite nice, don't you think? I made most of the embellishments with my Sizzix BigShot. And you might recognize some of the paper from my Crafting Paper Mini Haul.

Furthermore, I want to share with you a short video in which I am showing you my 2016 Christmas Tree. Here we go...

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Crafting Paper Mini Haul

Hello everyone,

sorry for not posting last Wednesday. I was still pretty sick and could not come up with some proper content in time. The video I'm sharing with you today has actually been recorded a little while ago. I found it on my hard drive just the other day. This way I can at least share something with you today :)

See you soon!

A quick Hello + some videos

Hi everyone,

thanks for stopping by. I know, most of you where expecting a crafting post today. Unfortunately, I was pretty sick for a couple of days, too sick to craft or crochet. But I didn't want to leave you with nothing so here are two random videos I recorded just recently. If you follow me on YouTube you might have already watched them :)

This one I recorded just a couple of days ago. For about just 5 minutes we had the most magical Winter evening sky here in Kassel.

And the next one I recorded while I was on a short vacation in Leipzig with my mom. While there we went to the panometer where there's currently a 360° Great Barrier Reef Exhibition. In January 2017 I think they will set up a 360° Titanic Exhibition which sound pretty cool too. I am actually thinking about coming back just to see that one but let's see. Here's a short impression of the Great Barrier Reef Exhibition:

It was that Leipzig trip by the way after which I came home and got sick right on the same day. I then called my mom the same night to complain about how bad I felt and then realized my mom also got sick. Bad luck, I guess :) 

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for some crafty content this Sunday!
