Happy Sunday

Phew, i totally forgot how much work it is to decorate for christmas. My back hurts from bending over, arranging and crafting, and i am not even halfway finished as our attic seems to have swallowed two boxes of ornaments. At least i could set up our advent wreath.

What else happened this week?

1. No Silhouette for me ( how mean). Instead i won the giveaway at the Melissa Frances Blog, which is at least equally precious as a Silhouette and i am so excited to see what they are sending me. Athough it doesn't relly matter because all their products are super cute and delightful and beautiful and gorgeous and lovely and adorable and any other synonym anyone could think of. The Martha of scrapbooking and the Porsche of prettiness.
Ok, i think you get my enthusiasm.

2. MisterT had his final dental treatment and all his teeth have finally been restored. Hopefully no more pain for the next 57 years.

3. Speaking about teeth makes me think of Count von Count aka The Count. His german name is Graf Zahl ( Zahl= figure) but i always assumed he was called Graf Zahn ( Zahn= tooth), probably because of his scary teeth. I was already 20 years old when i finally learned that his name does not have anything to do with his "Zähne" but is derived from "zählen" (= counting). Looks like i am not a smart cookie, but who likes math anyway??

4. This tiny little blog set a new record: 238 pageviews on Friday. Awesome, i thought. Until i saw my stats this morning: 431 visitors within the last 24 hours!! Looks like my Mirror Makeover gets pinned like crazy on Pinterest. And one visitor coming all the way from Fiji on Wednesday. I wonder what it's like to live there.

5. I applied for a fantastic job at a publisher's design department although i know they are not going to hire me without having any experience. But i am proud of myself for having had the courage to send them my application.

6. I hurt my ear with a cotton stick. Do not use them, they are unhealthy and evil.
( I know that but i'm addicted)

7. Smarty has returned from his lavish six-day Spa treatment and boy, does he look young and fresh again. Welcome home, little pea on wheels!

Happy 1. Advent!
