this time for my niece Zina.....and I'm hoping she doesn't happen to be taking a look at my blog within the next few days or else she'll see her card before it's time! But, I just wanted to show it to you! :-) CanNOT believe she is turning 17 already!
Yes, it's a little early for school, but since every other mom has gotten their child the school bag, I didn't want to be the uncool mother who hadn't gotten around to it yet. But it is....COOL...
Well, what can I say...a weekend with beautiful weather! Unbelievable! Something that has to be taken advantage of, most definitely. Saturday I spent getting my son his school backpack (photos to follow), going shopping with Danny (a little strenuous) and then cleaning up the garage, taking apart our buggy and washing the upholstery so I can sell it on Ebay and in the evening we went to a festival of fire in Eberdingen. It was a huge mound of fire, the size of a small house, and was it hot! Luckily there was little to no wind, because I think some of us might have gotten into trouble with the sparks and flames. It was huge. Well, I had to sin a little at this festival, because I could not bring myself to watch other people drink beer right in front of me...I had one tall glass. And since I was basically starving, I had to have a sandwich as well. So, sue me! ;-) I'll catch up for sure.
Today was spent washing clothes, bathing the children, doing my nails, by which time we needed to leave for a children's birthday party (for two children, one of which couldn't come) first beginning with the ice cream parlor and then off to the biergarten with playground and animals. I thought I could relax a little, but it was constantly interruptions in conversations of, "I'm hungry mommy, I'm thirsty mommy, can you help me on the swing?, Can you come with me to see the birdy?, Mommy! MOOOMMMMMYYYYY!!! jadajadajada...so I really have not had "my" time at all this weekend! And I did not get all the things done that I had planned to do. I wanted to iron, do my taxes, make some cards, do some scrapbooking...what can I say, there are only 24 hours in the day. That's life I guess. So, I was not in a very good mood today despite the weather. I just NEED the time to myself. It's so important. I'll have to do some "catching up" on that.
For now it's goodnight....hey, whaddayah think of my new banner? I did it all by myself in Photoshop! I was so proud of myself since I am really green behind the ears when it comes to Photoshop!
Night all!
for her 70th birthday. She liked it very much and made me very happy!!!
What do you think?
It was such a beautiful sunny day today. We were in Munich from Friday through today, celebrated her birthday on Saturday and today we met our vacation family from Crete in one of the most popular Biergartens in Munich for a few hours before we headed off homeward. Munich is really a very nice city.
That is all for now.....I will be keeping busy with scrapbooking, but my first and foremost goal is to lose 5 kg! At least by the time we go on vacation! My pants do not fit me anymore!
Take care ya'll!

I was at an investor's trade show for private and institutional investors from Friday through Sunday. It was stressful, but fun at the same time. Got to meet a lot of new and interesting people, chat with our clients a bit and check out what our competition is up to. ;-) We created a new corporate identity as a better eye catcher for investors. This time our bags, giveaways and investor's case books were all gone by the end of the fair. Just amazing! We also had a Nintendo wii set up and I fell in love. I thought about getting one, but can't figure out when I would be using it. I never have time to do anything anyway.
So, here is our new corporate identity....the slogan says..."Brilliantly Invested." Isn't it cool? We came up with that all by ourselves!
I've been wanting to do this for awhile for my friends and I to give to a friend that is sick with cancer. I finally had the time and I really put my heart into it. Here goes...
And once again one of the children is sick...this time it's scarlet fever. Go figure. I'm not going to worry about it anymore, since there is nothing I can do to change it anyway.
Got busy weekends coming up. This weekend it's Movement Day sponsored by our Kindergarten. There will be an obstacle course, cake & coffee being sold, anything used and sporty being sold from the moms, etc. It should be a lot of fun! I'll be selling the cake. Hopefully Sunday I'll have some time to myself to scrapbook. I did get a new shelf that I want to post a picture of soon. It's so cute and can be folded up.
The following weekend will be attendance of the INVEST fair ...so working in other words. But, it should be fun too. Friday night is the "After INVEST party" at the "in" disco, so I'm definitely ready for that one!
The weekend after that will be spent in Munich since my mother-in-law is turning a whopping 70! I still can't believe she'll be 70. She's so energetic and youthful looking!
So, we're just busy busy busy, like everyone else! Hope I have time to get my household in order!
I did do one little scrapbooking thing. I made my good friend Anja a birthday card. :-) Here goes:
