What I put inside the three advent calendars…

December 25, 2012

Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying your holidays and are having a sweet Christmas with your loved ones! :)
Because December 24 is over, I can finally share all the pretty surprises which I put into the advent calendars for Anja, Flo and my Mama. :*
It took me several weeks to collect ideas, to find all those tiny things and to prettily wrap them, but it was all worth the time and effort and it was so heartwarming how surprised and happy the three of them were! :))
So here’s what I put inside:

Anja got sweets, tea, pretty girly stuff and lots of pretty fun toys and stuff for relaxation. :)

My mum also got tea, some tasty snacks, stuff for the home, sweets and a few other tiny surprises. :)

Flo got tea, too, and of course sweets couldn’t be missing. I also got him stuff for his room, some fun stuff and some handmade coupons. :)

This was sooo much fun!
Handmade advent calendars are the best! :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

December 24, 2012

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :) Eeeeeeeks, this is one of my two favorite days each year (the other one is my birthday, of course :))! I loooooove waking up full of excitement, still like a child, juping out of bed, switching on my Christmas playlist and looking at the Christmas tree. Each year, this day is perfect, filled with delicious food, Christmas movies (especially those from Disney :)), Christmas songs all day, snuggling, quality time, a holiday walk and unwrapping presents in the evening. Magical!
Love this day more than words can say and I wish you all super cozy, relaxing and wonderful holidays with your loved ones!
Thank you so much for reading my blog and enjoy Christmas!
Love,
Lu

Win one of three spots in Magnoliaelectric’s blogger e-course.

December 23, 2012

Hello everybody! Because Christmas is near, here’s a surprise for your: my dear friend Stef of Magnoliaelectric is giving away three spots in her recently launched blogger e-course. It’s a course about blogging in general, about how to find you style, how to make your blog visually appealing, how to promote your blog, and many other interesting aspects. It’s written with lots of passion and a really personal touch, more information about the course’s content can be found here on her blog.
Since the course itself (like Stef’s whole blog) is written in German, it only makes sense to enter the giveaway for people who understand this language, sorry. :)
So here’s what you need to know and the rest of this post will be written in German:

Ihr Lieben, nun wisst ihr also über die Gewinnspielbedingungen Bescheid (wow ist das ungewohnt, hier mal was auf Deutsch zu schreiben… :)).
Nur wer alle Gewinnspielbedingungen erfüllt wird auch bei der Auslosung teilnehmen können, aber das versteh sich ja von selbst. :)
Stef wird die drei GewinnerInnen am 06.01.13 benachrichtigen und dann direkt die Zugangsdaten für den Kurs an die angegebenen Mailadressen verschicken.
Ich wünsche euch ganz viel Glück beim Gewinnspiel und wunderschöne Feiertage!
Alles Liebe,
Lu

// Happy holidays to all of you!

Holiday Outfit Idea

December 21, 2012

Hello! :) Christmas is getting closer and in case you haven’t already seen it on Stefanie’s blog Squeaky Swing (this lovely lady has invited me), here’s an outfit idea for the holidays. :)

For my outfit idea I combined rose with red, white and gold and wore a romantic lace dress together with striped socks and sparkling accessories and a handmade hairband.

You can easily make such a hairband yourself! :)

I’m gonna wear this outfit on one day during the holidays and I’ve got plenty of ideas for the other ones. :)
What are you gonna wear?

DIY: Christmas Cards in 4 Different Ways

December 19, 2012

Hello dear readers, here’s a DIY for you for how to make different Christmas cards, maybe you need a last minute idea for your colleagues or family. :

I made four different kinds of cards, some with fabric scraps, some with handmade rubber stamps, some with potato stamps and some with colorful washi tape.

You don’t need many supplies (those are all things most crafty people have at home anyway) and they are pretty inexpensive.

Here’s what you need for making those cards:
– Paperboard in different colors
– White paper
– Scissors, glue, textile glue or all-purpose glue, a sharp knife
– Fabric scraps, washi tape, potatoes, handmade rubber stamps

First, cut out white paper and glue it onto paperboard. Then you can embellish the cards according to the four different options:

Christmas cards with rubber stamps.

Christmas cards with washi tape.

Christmas cards with fabric scraps: cut out the scraps and use textile glue to attach them to the cards.

Christmas cards with patato stamps: cut out pretty Christmas motifs from potatoes and use them as stamps.

Yayyy, so pretty and colorful! :) I made lots of them and sent them to my relatives. :)
Happy crafting!
Lu
