It’s Scrapbooking Time

I was in Erkrath yesterday for a "Backen mit Love " book signing event. I basically moved in there for the afternoon with all my Valentine`s Day stuff. We turned the event into a scrapbooking workshop and it was a blast. Thanks to the lovely people from Buchhandlung Weber who invited me and have such lovely furniture. It was very easy to decorate everything nice. Thanks also, to everyone who came chatted, scrapbooked or bought the book. I still can´t…

Indoor Smores

This weekend I was planning on making some S'mores over the campfire. Well, lot´s of rain, so no campfire. However, with a little bit of creativity S'mores can also be fun indoors. I melted the marshmallows in a pan and instead of cookies I just added some cereals and put the chocolate on top. It´s quick and easy with only one more thing to add: "calorie counters you better stay away from them".

Valentine’s Day Window Decoration

This Valentine´s Day, I have my focus on two projects. First it´s all about getting the windows of the house ready for the special day. After I had removed all Christmas ornaments from the windows, they looked empty. The second thing I am working on is a Valentine's Day card, which I hope will be finished soon, so that I can give it to you as a downloadable greeting.

Valentine´s Day Vintage Paper Garland

My husband makes us breakfast every morning. As he usually has to take something out of the kitchen cupboard, I thought it would be a good opportunity to show him a gentle reminder that Valentine´s Day is coming. Even if it´s still January, the day will come. For this "real life newsfeed", I used two hand made garlands. One is heart ribbon crochet and the other one I cut out of vintage paper.

Valentine’s Day Preparations

This Sunday is all about getting ready for Valentine´s Day. For me, this means that I am trying out new cake recipes and I also bring up the decorations. For our neighbors this means, free Sunday afternoon cake delivered directly to their house. As I am a big fan of 'dry' coffee cakes, I tried this Cream Cheese Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel. Yummy.
