Giveaway Winner :D

Great! This weekend went by waaaay too fast! Even tough it was a long weekend it could have been much longer for my taste icon wink Giveaway Winner :D heeehee

What did we do..? Well.. Saturday was suuuper hot and Adrian worked in the morning and got a bit too many sunrays.. He didn’t feel too good so we basically spend the afternoon at the pool icon wink Giveaway Winner :D

Sunday was church, afterwards we stopped at some model homes. It was definitely not our pricerange (500’000 and up) but it was great to look at the houses and dream a little about the future icon wink Giveaway Winner :D I have to say tough, that I don’t like how they build houses these days! They pack in so many living room areas – and I would have no idea how to use all that ‘lost’ space…? I prefer some more kids rooms icon wink Giveaway Winner :D heee Or a reeeeally big master bedroom cheeesh… Anyways. Sunday afternoon we went to the pool again and my back got really tanned icon biggrin Giveaway Winner :D Then we took the long drive (off the main HWY’s) to Los Gatos where we went on a date together and had thai food icon biggrin Giveaway Winner :D

Monday was also cool. We finally met up with Amy Parker and her family for the first time! I was suuuuper nervous before hands…. But I’m glad we got together, I really really like her sweet little family icon biggrin Giveaway Winner :D Oh… and I can’t wait to hang out with her more often icon wink Giveaway Winner :D heeee

Gosh, I hope I’m not talking your ears off once again! Cause this post was definitely not supposed to do that, but finally announce the winner of my little 20’000 visitors giveaway icon biggrin Giveaway Winner :D

So…. The winner is…… drumroll…..

Spray Paint Art by Elfe

I don’t even know if I sneak peaked you before with our first “real” art piece?? Anywhoo, so my friend Andrea (aka Elfe) painted me this AAAAAWESOME canvas while she was here – not with acrylic or oil or whatever paint, but with spray cans!! The whole shishcabab is 36 by 48 inches big! Since lately Adrian and I have been dreaming (even more) of our ‘one day dream farm house’ I thought it would be cool to have one big old painting of a horse – maybe over a pretty antique mantel with a nice little fire burning in it…. Well, so this is the outcome! We just hung it yesterday and believe it or not, even tough our apartment is super tiny this one piece brought it all together! Somehow it connects perfectly with our huge TV and the (still) black shelve.. (‘still’ because I desperately want to paint it lighter.. But husband thinks I might not finish the job cause it’s quiet a big one… how well husband knows wife…. icon wink Spray Paint Art by Elfe dumdeedum )

Anyways, here ya go! Love it love it love it so so so so so much icon biggrin Spray Paint Art by Elfe Hope you will too icon biggrin Spray Paint Art by Elfe

Yes, it’s official now, my second Blog scrapper-for-hire.com is now closed! It just became too much for me, writing the same twice each time. It was one of my New Year’s resolutions, to figure out a way to be able to focus more on blogging better stuff. I hope this will help me now icon biggrin official So please help me to welcome all my scrapper-for-hire readers here on this blog icon biggrin official They have been awesome, since the beginning icon biggrin official

It’s also official, that the fourth stamp set for the new spring collection is designed and ready to be sent to the manufacturing company!! I am super excited, to show you the stamps in about 4, 5 weeks!! icon biggrin official I only want to say three words: vintage, speech bubbles icon biggrin official You’ll find out what I mean by that icon wink official

By the way, I wanted to ask you guys, if you want some kind of a countdown again for the stamps?? I had a lot of fun doing it, but it all depends on you guys!! Please let me know in the comments icon biggrin official

I have even been crafty today and have designed another super sweet layout (at least I think it’s sweet…..) But since it’s for BlueMoonScrapbooking you have to wait for that also.. sorry.. icon wink official

BUT I can show you our new wall art that is hanging behind the TV since yesterday! Our local Blockbuster just went out of business and we went there to look through the DVD’s. Adrian found those cardboard covers (or however they’re called…) and we got 60 of them for only 3 dollars icon wink official Yesterday I then started putting all together with my little black stapler and hung it ALL BY MYSELF onto the wall icon wink official I am super happy nobody was able to see me……… icon wink official heeeheeeeee

It’s pretty crazy and if I would live all by myself I would never ever do something like this in the living room, but hey, I don’t and my sweet husband likes to have a bold and crazy behind-the-TV-wall-art…. icon wink official

Also I am seriously thinking if I want to start wedding photography. I have been thinking about that a year ago, but then I thought I was too young and blablabla… But it IS a passion of mine and it HAS BEEN my dream job for ever….. hmmmmm… So what does a real Swiss girl do, if she want’s to start something but is a bit unsure of it?? Yes, she starts a journal and writes down questions that she is going to ask her photography friends. And if that girl is also a crafty one (and a bit bored) she is going to make that journal look super scrappy icon wink official heeheeee

Have a look:

Christmas Fever in November

My heart gets torn appart, when I think that at least for the next couple of years we won’t have our own little house someplace there is a LOT of snow in winter… or at least a little bit…..? Is that too much to ask for?? For a Swiss girl??

That’s probably why I get all crazy about Christmas this year. My mom would say that this happens every single year and probably she would be right. But this year is different. I REALLY miss the white beautiful quietness a lot.

That’s why I looked for some more ideas for this years Christmas and winter decoration. Look what I found!

(All the ideas are from Apartment Therapy and Country Living)

I whish with all of my heart, that one day we will have a house like that one! I love the rustic fireplace and the decoration and color scheme they used! LOVE IT!!

I could totally see myself in a kitchen like that! Baking Christmas cookies, making a dinner for friends and family and watching our kids playing outside…. Wait! There are no kids yet icon wink Christmas Fever in November

20101121 country living 2 Christmas Fever in November

I love the smell of these oranges! We used to do this too, but I never took the time to actually carve something into the skin beforhand…

20101121 10garland121709 rect540apartment therapy Christmas Fever in November

And this idea is just too cute! Lots of paper hearts, stiched together…. Hmmm, maybe I should wish for a sewing machine this Christmas…. icon wink Christmas Fever in November Way too many things to choose from!!!

Don’t worry, I have still more pictures/ideas to show you later on icon wink Christmas Fever in November I think I should start on making a list with ideas I really want to do this Christmas season. Plus a list with gifts for other people and of course, my own wishlist for Santa Claus at the North Pole! I was actually thinking on writing him a real letter and then let’s see if the post office returns it to me or not icon wink Christmas Fever in November heeheeee

Happy Scrappin’ and happy Sunday!! icon biggrin Christmas Fever in November
