Geocaching, ups and downs

Okay, the year 2014 ended very good when it come to geocaching. In December we found some really nice caches. One was in Loccum with a xylophon which I really liked and I was surprised that we were TTF (Third to find) on the second day after it was publised. That would have never happened in Hameln. This cache was also a lot of fun. You need to play a melody and have to finish it by yourself at the end. Thats how you got the numbers to the lock. I was lucky as I only need one try. Volker would have taken much longer for it. ;)

And we also found some very special caches in the region around Petershagen. I'll only show you some pictures and no stories to them. We also saw some nice building and places.












In December we also made the number "1000". That should be a special cache and we also thought that we had taken a special one. At the end we had problems with finding one station (and I had to call a friend) and when we were at the final there were no decoration material in the box with which you could built a little ship. :( That was a bit sad and disappointing. :( So I only made a picture with the box and me.




And as you've seen, we moved in January, so January and February were very busy months with no time for geocaching. So 2015 started a bit disappointing here as well. :( I feel like I want to go outside, but Volker isn't in the mood yet. Hopefully tomorrow. At least I made a "little" tour with Thordis and Fynn. We wanted to find 6 caches. At the end we only found 2 of them as we had to stop after the 2nd. And the 1st one I didn't solve and have to come back as it was too hard to solve withing some minutes. The 2nd also had a tricky box but I found a way to logbook a bit easier. :) This the cache, it looks really funny. ;)




Time to decorate

I'm sorry that I had no time to post this. In the wintertime I made again a "Winter"-decoration. Maybe you remember my "Autumn"-decoration, but this time with the letters of winter. I know it is kinda late, but maybe you still want to see it.

I also made this one for spring. :) Thordis helped me a bit and decided which fairies and colors I should take. ;) That was funny!!!

Thordis and I also made some Easter decoration. Little eggs with washi tape and Thordis wanted to make an egg with sticker stars on it. 





What do you think of these decorations? Would you try it yourself?

Busy bees in November

The last days we were very busy when it comes to decoration or making cookies. So I haven't found any time to make an atc (sad, but true). I already miss it. But the result of our christmas cookies will help with it. Lots of sweet nice cookies like cinnamon snakes, kind of Lebkuchen cookies, snow caps with chocolate, ... This year we've mostly tried new cookies (I found a nice receipe book in the grocery store for only 2,20 € for 150 receipes).

And of course I started to decorate our flat. As we have a new shelf, I needed some decorations to put in, so I went to Depot. They really have great stuff. Volker was there, too, and he wondered why I hadn't the basket full after 20 min. I could have bought everything, but I had to stop myself, so I only bought two nice candle glasses and some nice stuff for our candle holder. :) I cannot wait to put all our lights on after this next weekend. :)






Day 2
And of course I also made some crafting things, but those are not very special I bought myself a new book "One zentangle a day". Sure, I cannot make it everyday, but I want to make pictures of my "daily" zentangle and want to show it here. May one or two of you would like to start with this great hobby, too. :) Or maybe I already infected someone with zentangles?  For those zentangles I'll
only took a notebook to draw in. It should become my workbook.



Day 1
I also made two holders, one for my zentangles and one for atcs. Now I can take those everywhere. Well, the ATC holder should be a bit bigger, so that more ATCs can fit in, but I only had a 1 cm smaller piece of paper, so it'll be used a bit different.







And lately I ordered some nice stuff like ink pads from Tim Holtz, rubberstamps and stationary. Look what I got today. :D Bought at stampingfairies.de (right one) and stationaryheaven.nl (left one).

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..
