Advent Calendar #4 - 2. Advent & Happy Sunday


Here's what happened this week:

1. I made my very first sale in my Etsy Shop yesterday!!! A cake topper garland will travel all the way to Los Angeles, how exciting!

2. I am on a roll again and won another great giveaway: Martha Stewart craft supplies at Momendeavors. It must seen as if i enter every stupid giveaway i can find, but i swear that i only sign up for those items that i really like and would love to win.

3. And i won the lottery. 3 out of 6, that makes about 7€, maybe 10€, depending on the odds.

4. I baked christmas cookies or at least i tried. The electric whisk broke while twirling the dough, the frosting was runny and the kitchen looked like a catastrophe afterwards. The cookies looked weird too but tasted ok. It's funny because my mother made cookies the same day and hers were a fail as well. She told me her ( green) frosting was runny too because she made a mistake while adding water and her kitchen looked "as if a green bear had stepped through the entire room". I try to envision that but all i can see is my father dressed up in a green bear costume, tramping and leaving a mess in their kitchen...

5. I actually got an invitation to a job interview at the publishing company i mentioned last week. This opportunity would change our life completely. The interview is tomorrow and i think i have never ever in my life been that nervous!

6. Another record on my blog: 1247 pageviews on Wednesday and more than 5300 within the last 7 days!

7. It is impossible to get a chocolate advent calendar at the end of November, let alone in December. Note to myself: Next year, be the first person to plunder the stores when they start stocking up on christmas treats! In August...


Happy 2. Advent!
