Envelopes and bookmarks

Lately I recognized that I really need new envelopes. Well, some I created of old pages of a gothic magazine (with steampunk), but those already went out, so I can't make pics of it. But I also used my rubberstamps again and made some envelopes again. This is the result, (which one do you like most? I like the geisha one):

And I also made some bookmarks myself. If you'd like to have one for yourself, please tell me.. I still have some more colours left. How do you like them?

 

Geocaching in April and May

I didn't post anything for a while now. Maybe it was, because we were geoaching so much lately. ;) This April was my best month ever. I found 60 caches in April. We had some really nice rounds, like a fairytale round, some multis in Bodenwerder, more caches in Bad Pyrmont and some multis through a forest close to Hameln. The one that I liked most was a "submarine", it was in a little river and as it is early in spring, it was also under water. Sadly some "geocachers" (kids and their parents) took the logbook with them. But it was good that there was an extra logbook for those who couldn't sign in the submarine. Here you can see some of the geocaches we have found:

that was the extra logbook

that one was very easy to find

Creative weekend

This weekend I was busy writing letters (yeah, I got to "0", this has never happed this year) and I made some atcs for a pal in the Netherlands. This time we thought of taking the themes "purple + black", "Valentines Day" (yes, I know I'm very late with that :( ) and "Supernatural". As our printer doesn't work in the moment, we really need a new one, I had some problems with the theme Supernatural.. how can I make it without printed pictures. If you know the series, what do you think, would you know that this is a "Supernatural" atc?
As you might have heard, I want to start an atc yahoo group with my pal? Who would be interested in it? I think I'll make it concrete in the next few weeks. It has been ages since I runned my own last yahoo group. 

Meeting rats and cockroaches

We had such lovely weather this weekend and today. It was cold but we had so much sunshine. At the weekend we visited our first medieval faire for this year. It was the "Mystica Hamelon" in Hameln. And I must say, that I liked even more than the last years. :D
Okay, we only walked over the faire without eating or drinking anything, but we heard some nice music (one of the musicians was an old friend of us, we never expected to see again) and the stalls were really nice. But they didn't need the pirates again.

As it was such nice weather today again we decided to make a little geocaching this late afternoon. Said and done, we found 5 caches. :D Two of them had something to do with animals. In one cache was cockroach (iiihhhh) and in another was rat which was really hard to touch. It felt strange, but it was a really nice kind of cache. It was in hole in the path, like a hole in the canalization. But it wasn't. Two of the caches were a part of a forest round, which we'll end hopefully this month, too.

Envelopes part 2 and winter is going

I know I haven't written anything in the last few months. :( We didn't go geocaching and we were very busy lately with birthdays. The winter is still here, but the snow is finally melting. I have to say, that I don't want to see it anymore. Normally I'm a winter person, but this year we had enough snow and the spring could come. I want to go out for some geocaching. ;) But here are still some pics of our winter:

Today I started to make some envelopes again. In the moment I'm much behind with my mail. I try to answer them in the next weeks. For my birthday I got a great book from Volker and I already had some inspirations from it. Here are the envelopes I have made.. :) More will follow..

Where we live

 Today I wanted to show you some pics of the places around our flat.. the street, the little mountain.. ;)

The winner will be announced

14 people took part in the christmas competition. I had a lovely fairy who draw the winner:

Nadine, as I know your addy, you don't need to send it to me. I'll send you a little present in the next time. I hope I'll manage it within the next week. Congratulations!!!

Christmas decoration

As I said, I wanted to upload some more pics of our decoration. :) I just made the Advent wreath. So here we go:

 This is an advent calender, that my mother-in-law once made for Volker. Now Fynn is using it every year. :)

My first ATCs

Today I was busy again. In the morning I found two caches in the city and this morning (while Thordis was sleeping a bit) I made my first ATCs for ages. :) Saskia, my pal from Netherlands, and I want to exchange ATCs now and then. Our first two themes were "Rauhnächte" and "Geocaching". Hm, in my point of view, I think I wasn't creative enough, but what do you think? These are the ATCs:

And I also wanted to tell you where the cache was hidden at the weekend. Well, it was hidden under the knob. You could open a hole with it. ;) I think that was a lot of work to do. And in autumn I wouldn't say that this cache has the difficulty 2,5. It must have more.

Where is the cache?

A Letterbox

At the weekend we made a little geocaching tour in Hespe, Meerbeck and Stadthagen. We found some really nice places of which I didn't know that they exist. ;) Some caches were easy, some were very hard and I think the hardest ever we found on that weekend.

Where is the cache?

Maybe it wasn't that easy as it is autumn, but hey, we never had such a cache and who knows that sort of that is existing. We got finally help from my sister. ;) It was the Bonus of a tour we have made with team Gyldenale in July. I want to show you a pic here and you should please tell me, where we can find the cache. ;)


The other were quite easy. We found them very fast. For the next weekend I have to solve some more Mysteries, so that we can make a little tour again. Maybe we'll also have the time for a little multi.
