That’s how my table looks after I’m finished with packing. I am very, VERY good in creating chaos.
And I’d like to wish Happy Halloween to all who celebrate it! I don’t. I’m to afraid of walking deads, ghosts, zombies, spiders and all that spooky stuff. Beeing that innocent and cute little person that I am …. *snort*

Actually, I said I won’t do custom orders any longer. Because … well, they make me nervous. I always need more time than I thought and I’m always afraid that I don’t get it right.
But - there are always nice people who succeed and talk me into doing it :)

This weeks challenge: “Things that go bump in the night” loosely translated as “what scares you the most…?” Well, I choose the sucker. The thing that sometimes comes and sucks all the colors out of my world.

Yeah! That’s the theme for this weeks challenge. Hehehee… but a little subtitle to that is: It doesn’t have to be a man item it can be something that a man/boy could buy for his girl/wife/mom etc.
I decided to make a journal with that famouse Yoda saying. It was snatched in an instant from the very talented Frances. She is an amazing artist and I ask you to check out her website
And the other gorgeous entries to that challenge are here! Look, so you don’t miss to see the amazing Willy Warmer! :)
Addendum: I’m a lucky girl and have been featured today by The Ordinary Housewife and Rae Grimm

Mitsy wants to know six things that make me happy. Now I don’t know where to start. The things that make me most happy? Or the ones that make me happy most often? Do all the things work the same all the time?
Okay I see. I better should not think to hard about that and just list what comes to my mind first. Yep, that’s probably the best solution.
1. Realising that I’m living a good life makes me happy. I have these moments. Seldom, but still. When I realise that my life - whit all the worries and problems it has - still is a very, VERY good one compared to the life other peoples have to live.
2. To cuddle with hubby is my number one thing to feel more happy. It always works. Come what may!
3. Walking along a seashore, collecting shells and stones. Ahhh… that’s a thing that probably would work always too. I would just need more opportunities to try it ..
4. Making someone laugh makes me happy
5. Creating something with my hands makes me happy. Even more when I really like the result. And even more more when someone buys it! Hehehe… go and make me happy!
6. A long hot bubble bath with a good book makes me happy
7. Exploring foreign countries makes me happy. I would love to have the money and/or the guts to really go outside touristic paths. But well, maybe after I have seen everything “usual” that can be reached by rented car…
8. Watching crazy dog makes me happy
9. Buying supplies and books and other great stuff makes me happy to.
10. Enjoying a good meal that I don’t have to cook makes me happy
11. Chatting with the crazy girls (and the two boys) of EST makes me happy
12. Seeing that I’m already at number 12 and that I could list many more things makes me happy :)

This time the Stars of the East tagged me. I have to tell 7 facts about me. Mhh… let’s see wether I find something that is not already revealed

2. I am more thinking than doing. Other way round would be more clever :)
3. I’m slowly learning to say no.

The painted trees are my best sellers at the moment. Fairy Trees, Spring Trees, Winter Trees …
8 of them will travel to Taiwan today, the other two will hopefully soon arrive in the US. I’m still amazed by the fact that my work is spread all over the world. Yep, one could say, I’m proud and happy about that :)

Zwutschgerl is austrian slang and means something tiny. And look, isn’t my new notebook tiny in comparison to the usual (and boring!) one my hubby uses? It’s so cute and handy!
I played with it all day long yesterday after hubby bought it for me.
Well, I have a bad flu (see the tissues on the first pic) and my old notebook died some time ago so - it was just what I needed. I never used the old one much. Beeing the chouch potato that I am. But this one is so much more enjoyable and the small size makes it easy to take it with me. I’m in love! :)
