Today, in the Journaling Café we’ll be focusing on our daily routine. Project Life being all the rage at the moment, it is about recording what seems to be neglected in our memory keeping so much: the mundane, the simple life. Take a look at today’s journaling prompts, and see if any of these could inspire you to put some of your thoughts to paper …
Of course, I gave myself the task of recording something very mundane, and here’s how my page turned out …

I have another great source of inspiration for you (though some of you may know about Shimelle already, of course). But if you’re someone who doesn’t go there all too often, or someone who is always looking for more inspiration, you don’t need to look any further … for now.
Take a look at this fun paper layout:
What really caught my eye about it was the fun boldly patterned papers, which were used on this layout, and so when I was doing my own page, I looked for the same … a combination of bold patterns and bright colors.
So, here’s my page …

After weeks of campus being pretty much dead, I made a discovery today. Life has returned. In various, ways of course. Now, you can see two-legged creatures crawling around again, and then there are those four-wheeled creatures, too. It also means that work is about to begin again, and that soon our campus will be buzzing like a busy bee-hive again. Soon, as in tomorrow!
Not sure, which way I actually prefer …

Now you can finally go and play with it, yay! As always, my Terms of Use apply (see sidebar to the right), and now I have a couple of announcements, still.
If you wish to get the bonus to this kit (a sled and an ice skate), all you need to do is scrap with this kit, add your layout to a gallery that that non-registered users can visit (since I’m not be registered at every single gallery, and some are restricted for registered users only), and post a comment with a link to your layout here (you’ll easily find this post later by simply searching the tag “Freebies”). I will get back to you via email and send you the links to this bonus.
Note: The bonus part will be available only for the next four weeks, until March 22, 2013. Any layouts posted afterwards will not be considered.
And now, I’m happy to present to you a first glimpse of my next kit “A Tender Love.”
Like this one? Then make sure to come back and collect the parts over the next couple of weeks, and don’t forget to share this post with your other scrapbooking friends on Facebook, twitter, your blog, or wherever else, so more people get to enjoy them.
Alright, enough talking now, I need to go to dinner, and you need to get scrapping to collect your little bonus asset.
So, as always: Happy Friday, scrappers!
You may remember how our bread supply this winter has been kept on a leash; and how we’ve been frequently given pancakes (and waffles) for a substitution of bread (not that I actually enjoy the plain white bread they’ve served for a while now, but it’s better than all the sweet breads you can get in the local bakeries). Yes, to the locals bread means sweet!
But now, we’ve been finally served bread again, and I am happy, because I can have my chocolate spread back – a weakness most other Germans will share with me!
Finding out your schedule always is a source of great excitement. Not because it will, in fact, vastly influence the way you spend this next semester, but simply due to the fact that you usually don’t find out when you will teach your first class until pretty much the last minute. Really. There have been (times in the past) when teachers didn’t know they had to be in class Monday morning until late Sunday night.
Fortunately for me, I have the right connections within the school’s mechanics, so I am lucky to be one of the first to know my schedule, and this year, it was rather early … on a Thursday, indeed!

Did you know I had a book I didn’t have? Sounds complicated? Well, it’s actually not that complicated unless you choose to make it complicated. So, here’s the issue:
A couple of months ago, I found a textbook in my mailbox. No idea who it belonged to or where it came from so I left it sitting in my mailbox, probably wishing it would just go away on its own.
Of course it didn’t, since no one’s allowed to take anything from our mailboxes. So, after months of carefully watching the textbook, I decided to face the problem, and I took the book with me. But then I ended up having to books. So what do you do with a duplicate version of a textbook?
I thought I’d better get rid of one of them.
Then the other day, I get an email telling me, someone had found my textbook (mine, because they are all nicely numbered, a fact that had quite slipped my mind when I first took the mailbox textbook). So I quickly went and checked only to realize that I had a textbook. I wasn’t missing anything.
Long story short: never give away textbooks, even if you think they’re duplicates. They might come flying right back to you!
Are you ever looking for more inspiration and stuff to learn? A great place to start would be Anna Aspnes’ blog. If you’ve never heard of her, AA stands for lots of fun, useful digiscrap designs (stitches, brushes, stamps, and lots lots more).
Her blog also has lots of great tutorials that I find very inspiring. So, if you want to get your scrapbooking skills soaring out there somewhere, Anna’s blog is a place you don’t want to miss peeking around a bit.
