Israel 2.0 – Red Sea | Rotes Meer

The day begins with a good breakfast. Then we make for the city center, which on foot is only a couple of minutes away. Here we decide to make a boat tour with one of the glass bottom boats. Der Tag beginnt mit einem guten Frühstück. Dann machen wir uns zu Fuß auf ins Zentrum, das nur wenige Minuten entfernt liegt, wo wir uns für eine Tour mit dem  Glasbodenboot entscheiden. Glass Bottom Boat | Glasbodenboot The tour with the glass bottom boat lasts for at last an hour. We pass the dolphin swim area, the Aquarium and other sights. At the dolphin area we even stop for a while to watch.  Die Tour mit dem Glasbodenboot dauert mindestens eine gute Stunde.  Es geht vorbei an der Delfin Badestelle, dem Aquarium und anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Bei den Delfinen halten wir uns sogar ein wenig auf.                      They allow us to be in the glass bottom area of the boat for only part of the trip. But it’s …

On (Frozen) Pond and Other Winter Tales

Vom gefrorenen Weiher und andere Wintermärchen Winter is starting to take shape. So, dear sister offered to take us to a nearby pond for some ice skating. Her colleagues told her they’d been there, done that. So, we quickly go rummaging through dear sisters extensive winter sport equipment to dig up a couple of ice skates for us to use, and off we go to said pond. Except that when we arrive, we find the pond having a huge hole in the middle of the ice – not quite as frozen as we thought. And I guess, here shows that we really have done our bit of growing up. Because instead of blowing all concerns to the wind, bracing the danger, and putting our plans into action, we do what all reasonable ladies should do: we decide to skip ice skating and go into town for some shopping. Now, that’s how things are supposed to be, aren’t they? Der Winter nimmt langsam Gestalt an. Also hat Schwester uns angeboten, einen Ausflug zum Weiher mit uns zu machen, …

Baking Apprentices

Die Back-Praktikanten Ok, I admit it: You could blame me for making my students labor like slaves in my home. Almost, at least. Why? Because I make my students come  and cut cookies for me for hours. But then, please, don’t blame me too horribly. Because my students actually really enjoy doing it. Why? Because hardly any of them have ever done anything like baking or cutting cookies. And for them it’s like an exciting adventure. Something they can’t get enough of. So, in the end, one hand washes the other: While I get to have loads of cookies (of which they they devour a good portion, of course), they get to have all the Christmas magic and excitement we used to have growing up. And that’s how things are supposed to be, don’t you think? Ok, ich geb’s ja zu: Man könnte mir ja vorwerfen, dass ich Sklavenarbeit in meinem Hause dulde. Zumindest beinahe. Warum? Weil ich meine Studenten für Stunden rackern lasse, damit sie mir meine Plätzchen ausstechen. Dabei dürfen wir allerdings nicht vergessen, dass meine …

Document Christmas 2016 (December Daily)

Dokumentiere Weihnachten 2016 (December Daily)   Okay. You got me! I did it again. Guilty as charged. I just couldn’t help myself. The other day, I was looking through some December Daily inspiration on the www, because I’ve been giving more thought to my own project this year. And I know, I know, in my post last week, I said I was going to go with what I already had. But then, it happened. I started getting creative again. And before I knew it, I’d whipped up another template set that – big surprise! – I’m going to share here with you. Not only that, but I’m not going to wait for Friday and my freebie post. I’m going to share it with you right now. Why? Because I have way too many freebies lined up for the upcoming weeks that I want to share with you (some super fun Christmas alphas included), and I don’t want you to wait for that stuff forever, or worse – until the season is over. And anyway, it’s the …

Beautiful Autumn

Herrlicher Herbst We’re still enjoying the most beautiful autumn since I moved here. So, I can’t help myself – in spite of being quite busy, I just have to get out there to capture the moments. And you’re lucky, because you can be part of it. Wir genießen immer noch den herrlichsten Herbst seitdem ich hierhergezogen bin. Deswegen kann ich mich auch einfach nicht zurückhalten: Auch wenn ich viel um die Ohren habe, finde ich immer noch ein paar Augenblicke rauszugehen und den Moment festzuhalten. Und ihr habt Glück, weil auch ihr daran teilhaben dürft.

Document Christmas 2015 (December Daily)

Dokumentiere Weihnachten 2015   So, before I start to embark on this year’s Document Christmas adventure, I wanted to show you last year’s project that I haven’t gotten around to sharing yet. I used the 25 Days of December French Fold 5×7 vertical album template by Carina Gardner that I got from the Silhouette store for my basic album, but then, of course, made it very much my own. Since I have so many lovely Christmas kits, I hate to narrow things down to just one kit for the entire album, so I used a different kit for every double page. This album also comes with large pockets (between pages), which gave me lots of extra space to work with. Here’s how all of it turned out: Bevor ich mich dieses Jahr auf das Abenteuer Weihnachtsalbum einlasse, wollte ich euch doch wenigstens mein Projekt vom letzten Jahr zeigen. Ich habe die 25 Dazs of December French Fold 5×7 vertical Album Vorlage von Carina Gardner benutzt, die ich mir im Silhouetteshop zugelegt habe. Und dann habe ich meiner Kreativität …

Freebie Friday: Autumn Song – Part 4

Freebie Freitag: Autumn Song – Teil 4   This is probably the part most of you have waited for (PL packs are usually the most downloaded items in my collection of freebies). So, I hope you’re having fun with this one. Spread the word, spread this on Pinterest (so more people can enjoy it) and don’t forget to come back to collect the remaining parts of this collection. (And as there’s only two more parts to share after this, I’ve already started giving some thought to my next kit, which will be another Christmas themed one. I already have the color scheme and will hopefully find the time to start designing it soon! But for now, you get the Pocket Love part of Autumn Song. Heute gibts wahrscheinlich den ersehntesten Teil dieser Kollektion (PL Produkte sind in der Regel in am häufigsten heruntergeladenen Teile meine Freebie Kollektionen). Also wünsch ich euch viel Spass hiermit. Sagt’s weiter, teilt es auf Pinterest usw. (damit noch mehr Leute sich daran erfreuen können). Und vergesst nicht, euch die verbleibenden …
