Monday Highlight 11/22

Well, my blog is up and running since the beginning of this month, and as I’m still trying to get into a routine of posting certain topics on a weekly basis, let me introduce you to the newest feature – the Monday Highlight. Each Monday I will focus on one scrapbook product from my stash, point out some of its features and show you what I’ve done with it. So, for our very first ever “Monday Highlight” let’s take a look at … Wonderful by Melissa Bennett I fell in love with this kit as soon as I saw the new release in the store a couple of weeks ago at SSD. Maybe the no. 1 thing I love about “Wonderful”* is the color palette, ranging from light blues to different shades of gray with pops of soft pinks and reds  in there. Next, I totally fell for those paper rosettes, which have become very popular recently and make beautiful clusters on any layout, and I love the two doodled paper flowers just as much. …

Saturday Feature: My Little “Prince”

It’s time for the Saturday Feature again, and today I want to introduce to you another one of my little “friends”: my tennis racket. I got this little guy from a good friend of mine more than two years ago when I actually bought a Wilson tennis racket, only to discover that it was too heavy for me and ruined my arm. So, my friend and I switched rackets and ever since then I’ve been charmed by this little Prince! I’ve played with “him” many times, have shared with him the joys of a successful hit, as well as walked with him through the dark valleys of failure when I simply messed up my game! He knows what it means to feel beaten up and really can identify with the way I’m feeling when I’ve been having a bad day. He also helps me a lot in making new friends among the students who play tennis here at school. After all, he is a little prince charming. However, when school started again back in September, …

Saturday Feature: My recent best friend

May I introduce my recent best friend: He is called “Little Space Heater”. Little, because he actually is really small. But he plays a big role in my life recently. He keeps me warm. Every year in spring and autumn I can’t imagine living without him. The heating system is controlled centrally in the entire nation. So, no matter where you live or how warm or cold it actually is at the time, the heat is turned on each year on Nov. 15, and turned off on Mar. 15. As the temperatures have dropped quite low recently, especially at night, it has gotten pretty cold outside and even more inside, since the buildings don’t warm up as easily during the day. So Little Space Heater has become quite an indispensable companion of mine and he does a great job at making my home nice and comfy.
