Kreativlink goes East

My work is now available in Taiwan too, at ZeroZen
I don’t have a clue what’s written there, my chinese is not what it once was …

1223.jpgZeroZen stands for two editors who have worked for ELLE and Marie Claire (both in the Taiwan edition), and two graphic designers. These four woman all love handmade stuff, but people in Taiwan are not very familiar with it. Therefore they want to introduce some handmade stuff to the Taiwanese public. They believe that many people will be amazed with the wonderful crafts of the world.

If you look at this site, you will also see the work of my dear friend ArtMind. They just might have picked the craziest girls of the European Streetteam but hey, I’m not telling them! ;)

And I won’t tell Mitsy (ArtMind) that I’ve stolen this text and the picture from her Blog. Will see wether I can get by with it …

See what the postman just brought to me! Lovely Mitsy (aka ArtMind) sent me not only her page for our european book project, she also included these lovely birthday presents for me!  Such a wonderful surprise! I can’t get that big grin from my face since I opened that letter. Thanks Mitsy! You are such a lovely and warm hearted girl, it’s a pleasure to know you!

Ready for orders

1211.jpgI used the weekend to stock up on all my paper stuff. The certificates I include with each journal, the bookmarks, little tags I put on the packages and some birthday cards. Sometimes I’m asked to include a message because it’s going directly to a lucky one for a birthday present. That’s when this cards come in handy.

So - I was a very good girl, right? I also stained A LOT of paper over the weekend. Now that I think about it, that’s all I did. Just work as usual …
Would not mind that just - all that work should result in some earned money. Uh!?

Well, okay you lovely people out there. I’m ready for your orders now! :)

I’m a lucky one!

Look! I was on the Etsy Frontpage. Not once, but twice a day! :)

Many flowers and chocolate for MundoGominola and StudioElan who featured me in their beautiful treasuries and for debralinker who told me about it (I was sleeping at the time) and even made screenshots for me!

The photo in the middle is just so… three pics in a row look much better than only two. Heheee… I’d need three Frontpages a day! :)

Thanks!

1172.jpgThanks for all your lovely Birthday wishes yesterday. In the comments, in emails, on the phone and whatever. You know who you are!

And the supplies you see - well, they came today. Some more felt and paint for fabrics. Yeah! A new thing for me to try…

Just in case you wonder why the blue is much bigger and why there are two yellows..  I was a little distracted when ordering *ashamed*. Well, have to paint much blue and yellow. Should not be a problem. Ikea-like … :)

It’s my birthday today :)

Yeah! Well,  I’m in an age now where it’s just one birthday more. Not like way back, when it was the long awaited 18th and I could get my drivers license. Now it seems that each year passes by faster then the one before. Soon I’l be an adult!!!

So - if you are looking for a present - I’m into pottery lately. Look at these  wonderful things. Aren’t they simply gorgeous?

Three days in Prague

No sense in showing you photos of all the wonderful historic sites, the web is full of them. But here are some details from our short stay in Prague. The city is lovely, though it all looks very familiar for someone coming from Austria :)
