    Wow 50! That's pretty impressive Lu. I haven't seen some of these before as a newish reader so it's given me lots of food for thought. If only I needed more ideas this year. Maybe next year. Happy Christmas.

    Was für ein toller Post, liebe Lu! Soooo viele Ideen, manche davon kannte ich noch nicht mal. (: So eine Hülle muss ich unbedingt nähen für meine Kamera, die fliegt in gewöhnlichen Taschen immer lose rum. Es ist echt eine Wucht, was du mittlerweile an kreativen Ideen hier auf dem Blog gesammelt hast in der doch relativ kurzen Zeit, Hut ab!

    Alles Liebe,
