SSCS 2oo9

dear SSCS Santa,
I would love to let you know, your parcel arrived safe at our house in Poland.
THANK YOU so much at first.
I have to confess, it's unnopened and waiting for our return to Szczecin on December 21th.

We are actually on dutytravel to our new location in Bavaria, southern Germany. Yesterday we signed the paperwork for the house we are going to live in. Everything is newly painted, pretty light woodwork on the floor and ready to move in. The area welcomed us with pretty cold weather and some snowflakes. Yesterday was a lovely little Christmas Market in the Castle. So we enjoyed the athmosphere and had a crepe - yummy

scrappy Xmas cards

today I finally made some Christmas cards, some more to go:

Nikolaus

Today Nikolaus came to our house - even without egg-flip.
When my childs where little, I offered an egg-flip for St. Nikolaus and some mild for his reindeer at the night before in front of the door. Every morning both had been emptied ............

I missed this tradition this year, but we was lucky!

My friend Monka sent 2 lovely Xmas placemats to warm our hearts - I love the fabric!

and see this cute card:









DH surprised me with - a classic - love it !!!

Nikolaus

Holler boller Rumpelsack
Nikolaus trug sie huckepack
Weihnachtsnüsse, gelb und braun,
runzlig punzlig anzuschaun.
Knackt die Schale, springt der Kern,
Weihnachtsnüsse ess ich gern,
komm bald wieder in dies Haus,
guter alter Nikolaus.A

several obsessions

Not only quilting is my passion ( for 27 years now ), even beading, knitting, reading and ( fairly new ) scrapbooking.
To get impressions I search through blogland
and got to Lorie's site
She is giving away a fantastic lot of goodies, especially SU stampsets, not avaiable in Europe
