Advent Calendar, Day 18

Look how Yola's Bracelets have grown since the second day!
Yola wears them all the time and is so excited about them! It's such a joy to see that!

One World One Heart

This is the 5th and last giant, worldwide "One World One Heart" Event. When the 4th OWOH was, I didn't even have a blog, so this is my first and last chance to participate, and I am certainly going to take it!
The rules are clear and simple and just seem to add fun.

I am really looking forward to it!

Winter Wonderland

Just wanted to share with you what I see when I look out of my window, today.

This morning I hopped over to Sharon Tomlinson's blog All Norah's Art (http://allnorahsart.blogspot.com) and found a link to a video on youtube of Misty Mawn (http://mistymawn.typepad.com) that gave me goose bumps and made my heart sing. Here it is:



If you are interested to sign in (now!) to Misty Mawn's online workshop, you can find everything about it on her blog.

Advent Calendar, Day 2

As you may notice, I have decided to write in English, from now on.
German is my mother tongue, so German words come much easier and faster into my mind, but bloggerland's language is English - 99,7% of the blogs I follow are written in English.
I felt more and more like a German tourist in a foreign country who insists on ordering German food in German language. If you really want to get to know each other, it's most important to understand each other, of course.
So, here we go.
The pictures show what my daughter Yola has found in her advent calendar, yesterday.

Türchen No. 1

Dieses Armband war heute in Yolas Adventskalender und ist jetzt an ihrem Handgelenk.

Sneak Peak

Diese kleinen "Krabbeltiere" sind mir heute im Garten begegnet. Weil es so kalt ist und ich Mitleid hatte, habe ich ihnen vorgeschlagen, dass sie dieses Jahr als Christbaumschmuck fungieren könnten - dann (hofffentlich) im Warmen.
Das Foto zeigt, wie sie sich darüber beraten. Meinen Vorschlag anzunehmen, würde nämlich bedeuten, dass sie sich trennen müßten, um in verschiedenen Teilen Deutschlands ihren Dienst zu tun.
Ich denke, ich konnte sie überreden.
Aber bis es so weit ist, liegt noch ein ganzes Stück Arbeit vor uns!
