Calendar 2013

2013 is well on its way, and of course it’s way too late talking about creating calendars. But I have my wall calendar that I created some time back using Cindy Schneider’s calendar templates. And today would be a good opportunity to show you what I did for my calendar. I made different versions – German and English, switched out photos etc. and had them printed, and I think they make awesome presents. Just take a look …

New Meal Schedule

When it comes to meals and holidays, there’s a slight dilemma. You see, we get our meals served three times a day, buffet style. Now, that’s not the dilemma. That’s what I call service – never having to clean up dishes, I don’t mind that (though I really wouldn’t mind doing some cooking of my own every once in a while). But generally speaking, it’s a good thing that we get meals served three times a day. For the winter break, however, things change. With “things” I mean the meal service. The problem is: breakfast would have to be finished before 8:30 in order for the staff to be able to prepare lunch in time. But, while on holiday, who wants to get up in the whee hours of the morning only to get breakfast? Most of my colleagues wouldn’t. So, the meal schedule changes to two meals a day. Two meals at very odd hours … a 9:30 breakfast, and a 5 o’clock dinner. With lots of nothing in between. I don’t mind, though. …

Enable Me: Project Life

Alright, friends. Let’s start off this year with some inspiration. And since it’s the beginning of the year, we can’t avoid talking about Project Life. If you’ve been around any of the major digiscrap forums, it’s all too prominent – Project Life is everywhere. At least at my favorite store, the designers are whipping products for the use of PL like crazy, and if you take a look at the gallery at SSD, it seems like everyone is intent on doing it this year. It seems. I for one, will not embark on that journey. Not because I don’t like PL. On the contrary. But I know myself too well. And I know that 2013 is probably going to be the busiest year of my life (because I’m approaching the end of my postgraduate studies which means I’ve got major projects to work on). So, I’ve decided that I’m not going to add another project to my busy schedule. But that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about PL here in my little Digiscrap Corner. So, …

Happy New Year

Happy new year to all my digiscrap friends! Thanks to all those of you who have been sticking around with me for a while, and welcome to anyone who just recently found out about mistyhilltops.com. While this year is going to be extremely busy with my studies etc. (especially probably toward the latter half of it anyway), I do have a couple of fun posts lined up already aside from planning a new winter freebie kit and sharing lots of inspiration. And of course, I can’t wait for my new blog to be up and running (only waiting for that busy sister of mine to help me with a couple of little tweaks). Sooo … I hope you’ll be checking in every once in a while, and to all of you I wish that 2013 will be a successful year to be looked back to with pleasure.
