So, endlich kann ich es posten.... der Stampin'Up Weihnachtsminialbum Workshop.
Dieses kleine Album, im Format 5 x 7 ½ inch möchte ich mit euch aus dem Simply Scrappin' Set "I wish" erstellen. Ich war von dem Set so begeistert dass ich mir einfach ein Projekt damit ausdenken musste. Das Album ist einfach genug für einen Anfänger, aber auch erfahrene Scrapper werden auf ihre Kosten kommen. Man kann das Album sehr schlicht halten, oder sich mit Stempeln und Farbe weiter austoben. Dieser Workshop ist ein "Team-Workshop", d.h. er wird von zwei SU Demos angeboten: Dörte in Westerkappeln, und von mir, Liz.
Termine: 14. oder 21. 11. bei mir und am 22. oder 29.11. bei Dörte Genauere info und Anmeldung bitte über manolos.I.covet@gmail.com für den Workshop bei mir oder dkessling@web.de für den Workshop bei Dörte.
Falls ihr nicht an diesen Terminen teilnehmen könnt, kann auch das komplette Materialpaket mit ausführlicher Anleitung (Schritt für Schritt, bebildert) für €25,00 plus Porto bei mir bestellt werden.
this one if from a while ago. I just love this picture of my father-in-law and Trouble #2. He's teaching her how to operate the big riding lawnmower. Nothing like starting the farm help young, right?
It's payback time, LOL. Ms. Nat keeps posting pictures or LOs of me. Well.... I finally have some pictures of her, too, taken as part of our photography class. And well... my LO is a thank you to her, for keeping me sane. I am so glad we met...which was actually way back when I was still living in the US and had no idea I would be moving back to Germany. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend.
Check back later for an update on that Stampin'Up Christmas Minialbum Workshop. I am running a bit behind with posting on that one.
Trouble #1 and #2 decided they didn't like going to the vacation program I had been sending them to. That makes things a bit tricky because I still have to work, but we'll see....
But since the weather has been crappy, they've been inside way too much, which makes them cranky. And if they are cranky, I get cranky. So, despite their protests, I dragged them down to the river today. I admit, the weather was awful, but we all needed the fresh air.
That's it for now. Working on a LO and last preparations for the Stampin'Up Workshop.
Sorry, since it is about Stampin'Up Germany, this will be in German.
Ich bin in letzter Zeit nicht viel zum Scrappen gekommen, aber... ich habe einen neuen Stampin'Up Workshop ausgearbeitet zum Thema Weihnachten und Minialbum. Mir gefällt einfach das "I wish" Set im neuen Katalog so gut.... ich musste damit arbeiten. Also, genaueres gibts in den nächsten Tagen hier auf dem Blog. Schaut wieder vorbei!
Jetzt werde ich mich dran mache einen AppleCrisp zu backen. Yummy!
Trouble #2 turned 7 today. Actually... she was born at 9:02pm Central time, which means she wasn't even born yet, but since she insisted on staying up till her actual birth time, I sort of skipped the minor detail of different time zones. So, 9:02pm German time and off to bed she went.
Considering how much baking I do, I have to say.... I sucked as a mom today. My own child did not get a proper birthday cake. But, in my defense, we stumbled upon this little nugget..... sorry, not for the faint of heart, watch at your own discretion...
and for a few days I actually considered it, but then decided against it, because I a) couldn't find a brain jello mold anywhere (suprise!) nor, b) did I have cornsyrup. I think I might just have to buy a big jug of this stuff next time I am in the US.
Anyway, so no bleeding zombie brain for my child. We also stumbled upon pictures of "graveyard cake". Now, that was definitely up Trouble #2's alley. So, I set out to make graveyard cake. And again, I stumbled, because a) I couldn't find OREO's (which are available in Germany at a few stores, just not in our little town) nor b) was there any CoolWhip. Or c) oval cookies. You would think that I could at least find little oval cookies to make the headstones. Anyway, long story short, I did improvise, and used Chocolate Prinzenrolle for the "dirt", didn't even know they made chocolate Prinzenrolle, and I used regular whipped cream instead of the CoolWhip. And I used store bought chocolate chip cookies which were sort of oval, for the headstones. And voila, my child was deeply impressed as was my neighbor.
So, without further ado, here is the birthday child and her graveyard cake. Please note... my little buttercream ghosts! Also, darn that photography class.... I should have shot on P or Auto, because I did not get a single clear picture of T#2, except for one where she sports this awful fake smile.

Now I really wish I had a glass of wine to relax, but alas... there isn't any to be found. So off to bed I go.
It's the first day of fall break and that's a good thing. The girls and I didn't have to get up quite so early (though the girls did... silly!) and there was no mad rush to get things rounded up for school.
I am still exhausted from the weekend. Yes, it was wonderful. But, it was also two long days of walking, picture taking and learning and trying to digest information. So not much to talk about really, but here are some more pictures from yesterday's assignment....
