Dream Book Give-a-way

I finished the dream book, that I will give away to one of the donators towards fullfilling Kirsten´s dream ( for your convenience I have added a donation box on my sidebar, too!). We have had some great donations already but it is still a way to go! Kirsten and I would be very happy, if you would decide to donate, too! It does not have to be a big amount, little amounts added up and will also help very much! If you have not done so, please read about it here. The book will be given away on 24th of August.

Ich habe das Traumbuch, das ich and einen der Spender für die Erfüllung von Kirstens Traum verlossen werde, fertig gestellt (um es noch einfacher für Euch zu machen, habe ich eine Spendenbox gleich hier rechts oben eingefügt!). Es gab schon einige großzügige Spenden, aber es fehlt noch einiges! Kirsten und ich würden uns riesig freuen, wenn Du auch eine Spende dafür geben würdest! Es muß keine große Summe sein, viele kleine Beträge summieren sich auch und helfen genauso viel! Falls Du es noch nicht getan hast, kannst Du hier nochmal die ganze Geschichte lesen. Das Buch wird am 24. August verlost.

The cover is made from polymer clay (the technique I teach in on of my workshops) and the "filling" is with lots of different papers, patterned paper, recycled parer, card board and some fun items, too. I filled it up so it will be inspiring and make you want to touch it and use it, but I als left enough space, so you will still be able to add your own favourites and make it your very own book!

Der Cover ist aus Polymer Clay gemacht ( in der Technik, die ich auch in einen meiner Workshops unterrichte) und die "Füllung" ist aus ganz unterschiedlichen Papieren gemacht: gemusterten Papieren, recyclten Papieren, linierten Papieren, Karton und einige andere Dinge zusätzlich. Ich habe es so angefüllt, das es sehr inspirierend ist und dich dazu bringt es berühren und verwenden zu wollen, aber es gibt auch noch genügend Platz um eigene Dinge hinzu zu fügen und es zu einem ganz eingenem Buch zu machen!

Please donate, comment on my blog (just below this post or here) and I keep my fingers crossed so you will be lucky and win this book!
Bitte spendet, hinterlasst einen Kommentar auf meinem Blog (gleich hier unten oder hier) und ich drück Euch die Daumen, das ihr das Buch gewinnt!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Habt eine wundbares Wochenende!

Congratulations to you!! Would you please get into contact, so we can sent you your box...;-)

Isnt that a good way to start ones week? I will have one hell of a week, but I am looking forward to get the last bits of my second Polymer Clay book done and hopefully I will be able to do everything BEFORE the holidays start...;-)

Have a great week and leave me a little coment, will you?

Oh and before you shot off, did you have a look at my counter lately? I did! And this is what it looks like:

Wohhhh!!! In not quite 2 year I had over 14.000 visitors! The counter changed some time at the weekend. Since I unfortunately missed it, I thought up another fun little thing for you:

Leave me a comment to this post and tell me, what you like about my blog and what you would like to see more. I have planed some mayor changes to my blog in the new year and I would like to have your input to it. Sometimes during next week I will draw a winner from everyone who wrote a comment and sent off a little gift to you. ;-) How ist that?

Give-A-Way!!!!!!

....wohhh!!!

We have put together a little polymer clay box of give aways ( and we might throw in some more things or even make a second box...;-) ). There are a lot of things for you to try out and have fun with....!!! I can already hear you ask the question: and how can I win this box?
Well, here is the deal: we need more people to get involved in our Euro Clay People Project. This means we need more people to know about it. And here is what you can do for us, and one ( or two!) of you will win this prize by doing so:

Post on your blog or website about our call of entries for the Euro Clay People Book and link to my previous post (here!). If you have done this, come back to my blog and post a comment with the link where you have posted about our call of entries. If you have done so I will put your name on the list for the drawing of the give-a-way on 12th of December. Easy, right?
Any quesions? Please ask, someone else might have the same question!
So please link our call and post a comment!!! Spread the word and make my day...;-)

...November Blues

...has hit me!!! This last month was, well, tiresome. Now the autumn has come in for real here in Berlin. November rain and cold!!! My son has been ill and I did not feel to well either. So what better is there to beat the blues that to give a RAK to someone...? ;-)) Here it is:

So today I will tell you how the winner of my little RAK is: my son has chosen you luv2scrapmilesstones !! And of course there will be three of you how play pay it forward with me:
becca, heather and luv2scrapmilesstones again!!! Would you please send me your addys at "a dot humpert at gmx dot net" so I can get your goodies out...???

.....and the winner is:

I know, I am not Ali E., and I did not have thousends of entries on my blog for my little survey cum give-a-ways, but I still I did an "official" drawing of my three lucky winners. Since I am on my own at the moment, I put my little lucky bowl on a table, closed my eyes and picked three of the entries:
Brigitte, Miranda and Nat you are my three lucky winners!!!! Congratulation to all of you!!!

Brigitte and Miranda, I do not have your email or address. Could you please sent them to me at: a(dot)humpert( at) gmx(dot) net???? Thank you!!!

I will pack three little give-a-way packs this week and sent them off to you...;-)

Have a happy, sunny Sunday!!!

BTW: Have you seen my counter??? Today I reached the fourth digit!!! I cant believe it!!!

...what a week!!!

I can´t belive it´s Friday again!!! I have not been blogging for the whole week. Why? Just to busy!!! And what a week this has been!!!

I have been workin more than usual in the shop, because last week was a traid fair and now this week everything had to be put back in the store...that always means lots for work for me!!! But this time I got a little present for my boss ( for feeding her cats while she was away): she brought me back some Heidi Swapp gost shapes, I have been loonging to get my hands on!! Cant wait to try them out!!!

But this was not all this week .... oh no!!! Since it is the last week before Easter break for my kids there was tones of test for my son: English, French and Math!! Each day there was a different subject we both had to work for..... you wonder why I have to work for them, too??? Well I was wondering about that, too, but if I do not help him with it it´s just a desaster!!! he still is my little baby and needs his mama for sertain things, I guess. He will be 13 next month ( wohhh!! Is this really that loong ago?), but that´s not to big to need help....;-)

With my daughter I have done a lot of reading and after all the things going on with her dyslexia, we ( especially me!) needed to cool down and relaxe a bit! Stress it our worst enimy!!!

And you probably guess it: if you are under stress you make mistages and I made a very hurtfull one on Tuesday: after learning Math with Luis for hours I was in a big hurry to get Dinner prepared and took down a big glas bowl from the shelfs. Unfotunatelly this bowl had a crack for a look time already, but on that day it decided to give up and broke just in the moment I took it down. I spare you the details, but there was quite a bit if blood and I cut myself quite bad in two fingers. Luckly on the left hand, so I still can do most of the things I need to do...

Oh, and something else: I just sent off the second entry for a design team search in this week. I wount tell you to whom, I am superstitious about that, but I hope you wil wish me luck!!!!

Tomorrow I will draw the winners of my three little give aways, so if you have not done so, it´s still time to leave a comment...;-)

Okay, girls....got to get ready to go to ths shop.....!! Wish you all a nice, relaxing weekend and lots of time for your leisure....well I can do with some of that, too!!!
