Christmas Journal Entry #1

-
One's scanned - still mulling over entry #2 but will get this done today as well..

Can't believe I have quoted "Advent Calendar" twice (in English and German :o )!!! Suppose ... I got 3 calendars, so that's surely allowed??? ;)

There are sooo many more words I could have used on that LO, like "Weihnachtsmarkt" (Christmas Market) - that's one of the biggies I am missing over here. Yes, we do have the German Christmas Market at the Museums (which is funnily being done by people who have stalls at the Frankfurt Christmas Market) but the prices seem to be taken from €€ and the currency just changed to ££, so fairly expensive. And IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!! Where is my BAUBLES stall - think I have to send my Mutsch there before she's coming over to get me one bauble... :) Oh no ... just checked their Online shop... BAD IDEA!!! LOL!

Anyway ... here is my entry #1 for all of you who have been waiting already (and maybe thinking that I haven't done it after all!! ;) )... Still trying to figure out how I am going to do my dates - am waiting for a circle punch which may be a little too big so may have to change my idea again.

Christmas Journal Entry #2

Phew!!! Took me longer than I thought!!! :) Maybe I should leave the crafty bits out ... I am a slow scrapper after all (found that out at the Cyber Crop!!). But have to say I LOVE that LO. Used acetate with stazon white opaque (over photo), snowflake eyelets, snowflake button and snowflake vellum sticker. The prompt today suggested we cut a paper snowflake ... well, I had three attempts and am absolutely rubbish at it!! So I decided I try my luck with a quilled snowflake ... first time ever for me to do a snowflake and you can see the wonky result! LOL.

 Here is my Final Round up for the Photo Scavenger Hunt 2013: 1. Open air market (Market Stall outside Kew Station, London) 2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater) ( Edinburgh Festival Theatre ) 3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building (Dumfries Council Buildings) 4. Airplane (Our Virgin Flight plane to London) 5. A sunset (opted for another picture than posted before, as this sunset is more stunning! It’s taken at Knockbrex House, Dumfries & Galloway, with view of the Bay) 6. Someone or something taking a nap (there’s too much cuteness about, and still so many photos of the Hobbits falling asleep ) 7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny (Seeing it was Maple Pecan Ice cream, the note  “May contain other nuts” makes you really wonder…) 8. A tower (Watch tower at St. Cuthbert’s graveyard, Edinburgh, defending against grave robbery) 9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn'...

Day 15 ...

-
Mmmmh... headaches, a little pulling pain, and now some dark brown spotting (but really just a little, goes away after dabbing - SORRY, TMI!) ... wonder if my body decided to take its time and does implantation bleed later than normal???? I don't think that both embies are making it ... but I have a little hope that maybe my little 1-grader (LOL) hangs on!!! Could do with the long wait though .... :( Tomorrow we're off to Newcastle for the day ... bit walking about, going to the MetroCentre for Big Luke's (first time), Hotel Chocolat (first time in Newcastle) and Hobbycrafts - and Toys R Us for Doug... :D Mood goes up and down ... considering what we woman (and partners/hubbies) are going through with IVF we should get a definite YES or NO!!! Not such a stupid limbo stuff!!! :( Little one, hang on ... maybe your great granddad (RIP) can help you to stick???
