our new home

Hi there,

finally the day is here when we get the "contract" for our NEW HOME!!! Yes, hubby and I finally broke down and decided to BUY a home instead of renting.

For all you guys in the US: in Germany the prices for a home on a small piece of land are just ridiculous expensive. But when we saw this jewel we couldn't resist and bought it right away.

:)

Main entrance

our fireplace - gotta LOVE it

backyard with enough space for the boys to play :)

The only "negative" thing is that we have to wait until April 1st to get the keys and start moving in - when you rent a house you have to tell the landlord 3 month in advance that you gonna move out by then (insert rolleyes - Germany!) So I have to be patient but at least I can start planning now.

Thank you for letting me share my excitement with you

Special hugs to y'all

cqc#59- corner bookmarks

Hi there,

it's colorQ-time again and this is my take for this week's combo. LOVE rich razzleberry! And I needed some bookmarks for my sister who ordered quiet a bunch so I used this weeks colors to create two corner bookmarks (you can find the tutorial here at SCS). I kept it simple - so me :)

What do you think? Have you already made bookmarks? Please leave a note and I would love to get some inspiration from you.

I'm off to get prepared for a class I'm teaching next week - still no clue what cards to make with 10 kids ..... (scratching head) - any ideas?

Hugs Tanja

Hi there,

another week flew by and now it's time again for the colourQ-challenge. This week Arielle brought to you this great color combo - so fallish-y!

I wanted to use one of my newest Lori-Boyd-digis (go and check out her new release - jaw-dropping-cute!) and I decided to play with Jen Tapler's sketch.

So, here we go. Enjoy!!!!!

Hugs and kisses

Tanja

P.S. will post the deets later as I'm running out the door ***waving***

Hi there,

Harvey (my computer) seems to be a little stinker at the moment. Maybe he feels a little neglected ... *sigh*

But anyhow - last but not least here is my take of this week's colorQ challenge.

I thought I get a jumpstart on christmas cards this year... and I took this great color combo and designed a card with some not-so-typical christmas colors.

Since time is short here on the Hartmann Ranch I made it easy peasy and pretty much self-explaining (???).

Okay, today is hubby's birthday and we have some exciting things to do today - still a little secret here but if you stay tuned I will let you know in a couple days what's going on here and why I'm not posting that often ...

Sending huge hugs your way, my friends

Tanja
