Are you having difficulties finding your Mojo after the holiday? Here are some tips for a good start to find Mojo :)

Meine Freundin Liz hat auf Ihrem Blog einen Januar-Jumpstart-Challenge ins Leben gerufen – mit Layouts die sie vorstellt und die Ihr liften könnt – schaut doch mal vorbei! Genau das Richtige um die Kreativität wieder auf Trab zu bringen.
My friend Liz has a January-Jumpstart Challenge on her blog- with layouts she shows and are waiting to be lifted – take a looksie! Exactly what you need to get your creative juices going again :-)

Project 52 – by Julie Fei-Balzer: “The idea is to get a year of your life recorded in some way. Every week for one year, participants will create something inspired by an event, a thought, or an emotion from that week.”

Project 365: Ein Photo jeden Tag für ein ganzes Jahr. Ich war letztes Jahr zu spät – aber dieses Jahr habe ich mir vorgenommen mitzumachen. Ich werde bestimmt kein Album daraus machen – aber die Idee ein Jahr auf diese Weise zu dokumentieren, finde ich super!
Project 365: a photo a day for a whole year. I was too late last year – but this year I will achieve this goal (LOL). I won’t be creating an album with those photos- but the idea of documenting a year this way is pretty cool!
So – ich hoffe für Euch war was dabei! Ich wünsche Euch einen tollen Tag!
Wishing you an amazing day!
Great projects!
Happy New Year, Sweets! Thanks for posting my challenge. I love Julie’s project… gotta get my behind in gear and start working on that.

Ok – und nun eine Auswahl der 10 Lieblingsphotos aus dem Jahre 2008 – welches sind Eure persönlichen Favoriten des Jahres?
Alrighty and now my 10 favorite photos of 2008 – which are your personal favorites of the year?
*Bear at Hagenbeck Tierpark -Hamburg Zoo – May 2008*
What can I say – I love bears- and this was also a wonderful day with my little god son at the zoo – so a favorite shot of this day :-)
*London Tate Gallery – August 2008*
This image was so strong – and it is weird to think that this is now gone!
*Linus at the Baseball Game – September 2008*
I’m really not good at taking pictures of kids…but this of the little Rocker I love!
*Speicherstadt, Hamburg – September 2008*
Have I told a thousand times that I love this city? No? Well…this photo shows one of the reasons why :)
*Amsterdam at Night – September 2008*
*Planten un Blomen, Hamburg – September 2008*
*Sunrise, Hamburg- October 2008*
This photo was taken early morning from my studio window – it makes me happy because it reminds me of how lucky I am with our home.
*On the plane to Seattle – November 2008 *
So cool to be in a plane and see the earth – it makes me feel so small and yet so happy and calm.
*Seattle Library – November 2008*
We had a great time in this library- and I love the shapes and colors in this picture!
*Chistmas 2008*
I know I just showed this photo – but this is for me a wonderful photo that makes me warm and fuzzy about our friends – we are so lucky to have so many wonderful friends around us!
Ich wünsche Euch ein wunderbares Jahr 2009 – wir sehen uns im nächsten Jahr wieder- ich freue mich schon!
I wish you a wonderful year 2009 – we will see each other next year – I’m looking forward to it!
What a great photographer! I certainly recognize that one of the canal in Hambrug!
Fabulous photos, Nat! Thanks for sharing them with us! Happy New Year!!
Your photos are so beautiful! What a versatile talent you have – black and white, color, people, places, animals – and all equally beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I love your top photos and the fact that you are organized enough to have them all at your fingertips ~ how great is that! :)
my favs among those..
*Speicherstadt, Hamburg – September 2008* and *Amsterdam at Night – September 2008* ! :D happy New Year Nat!
I love all those pictures! You have a great eye for photography! Thanks for sharing! Happy new year, once again! lol.
Of course Amsterdam by Night is my favorite picture of you haha…. :-)
Have a good New Years Eve honey!!
Supertolle Bilder!
Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr und alles Gute für 2009!
Wonderful pictures! I adore the one of the bear – looks like you’ve been right in the enclosure with him!
Great pictures! Love the one of Amsterdam ;)
Happy New Year to you and still hope we meet again some day :)
(linked from sis tv) i love your top 10 photos. This one of home & friends says everything about the holiday season. It’s beautiul. Thank you for sharing it-
Genau wie im letzten Jahr habe ich mal meine Layouts durchgesehen und meine 10 Favoriten herausgesucht – welches sind Eure Favoriten in diesem Jahr?
As last year I looked through my layouts and picked out my 10 favorite ones – which are your favorites this year?
*Thankful*
This layout was published in Somerset Memories with my series of “The Place I Live” Album – and I still feel what I was journaling about here: I’m thankful for the place I live. And I love the photo too :-)
*Still Living in LaLa-Land*
Well…what can I say…I guess I’m still living in La-La-Land and I guess I won’t move :-)
*Old*
In this layout I was reflecting that I want to be like this old truck when I’m old – funny and wrinkled and this hasn’t change. I had a lot of fun with this layout and I still love the colors and layering.
*Enjoy the view*
In a way this was the most neglected layout- LOL (little insider) – but for me it meant and means a lot. I’m missing my Uncle Walter.
*The Guardian*
My Grammy – It felt good to talk about her – even though it is a sad background and I love the blue hues. This was also published in Somerset Memories this year.
*Everybody Now*
Wow- I tell you this was so much fun to make. The painting and creating process – totally fun and heartfelt. Also published in Somerset Memories.
*Breathe*
Loving the message and photo here – another layout I still love. This was also published in Somerset Memories.
*Thanks for your visit*
I had fun working on the chipboard tree – and I think this is the best card I have ever created- :)
*Love Is You*
What can I say- love this guy, love this song…feel it reflected in this layout.
*Click Click Click*
Another layout where I remember the creating process as a lot of fun and additional it shows me showing my tonsils with one of the coolest purchases of 2008 – my new camera :-)
Witzig so zurückzuschauen. Und morgen dann die 10 Lieblingsfotos des Jahres 2008.
Too funny to look back – and tomorrow the 10 favorite photos of the year 2008.
man, i love all of them. of these 10, the click click one and the card with the lovely tree are my faves. have a lovely evening tonight, be well and see you next year!
man, i love all of them. of these 10, the click click one and the card with the lovely tree are my faves. have a lovely evening tonight, be well and see you next year!
So cool, I’m going to have to go back and check out my faves now too, great idea! =)
I love your picks! Great layouts! You are very talented! Oh, and I want to give you thanks for the comments you always leave me over at SIS, they mean the world to me! Have a wonderful and blessed New Year 2009!
“Old” und das Bambi sind meine Oberfavoriten! Ich glaube, ich mach heuer nicht mit – habe ich überhaupt mehr als 10 LOs fertiggestellt? ;-)
Zehn echte Nats, das ist schon was Besonderes! Menie TOP 5 hab ich im ScrapBookTreff gepostet :-) Komm gut ins Neue Jahr!
Mein absoluter Favorit ist “Old”!!! Wenn ich meine 10 Lieblinge aus diesem Jahr heraussuchen sollte, ginge das schnell. Das wäre schon fast alles, was ich in diesem Jahr geschafft habe*schäm*
I can’t pick a favorite. They are all wonderful. Each has their own theme and style. They are all wonderful.
Ohhhhhhhhhh…I loveeeeeeeeeee what U picked….and I even picked one of yours in a separate thread over on SIS’s MB :):):):):):):):):):) We were to pick our FAVES of the year…and I chose one of yours! :):):):):):):):):):):)
Thanks for always being inspiring Nat! :):):):):):):)
Lots of my favrouites amongst the ones that you have chosen here – but my all time fave has to be Bambi – I just ADORE how you screen printed the design, I am so in AWE of that.
Such a great idea showing your ten favorites! They are all great!
Wishing you all the best for 2009!!
xo
Natasja
LaLaLand…definitely! :-)
And the John Lennon song…brings me to tears..alwasy :-)

Thanks so much for my card and very cool ribbons and such. I’m glad to hear that you had a nice Christmas and hope that you are feeling healthy again soon. Now can I please have a piece of that delicious pumpkin pie;)
So…nu also bald Sylvester…LOL. Leider hat es mich ein wenig erwischt…ob es das viele Essen war? Hier eine Weihnachts-Zusammenfassung in Bildern ;)
Oh well …so now New Years is arriving…LOL. Unforunatley I’m a bit sick …maybe it was all the food? Here is a little christmas compilation in pictures ;)
*Unpacked Presents*

*Let’s start with a table for Four ;) (no photos taken of the venison stew and the homemade bread dumplings)*
*Christmas continues – 3rd day: Preparing the Stuffing*
*Ready for the bird*
*ahhh – fresh herbs- love the smell*
*Making of the first Pumpkin Pie*
*John Wayne watching us!*
*my favorite winter flower*
*Table for Ten*
*The 17 Pound Turkey that barely made it into our Oven*

Ich hoffe Ihr hattet ebenso tolle Tage! Ich lege mich gleich wieder hin :( -drückt mal die Daumen, dass es nur war Kurzes ist.
I hope you had also amazing days! I will lay down right now :( Cross your fingers that it is only a short bug.
What a crack up that your table got so big and that the turkey barely made it in the oven. I enjoyed seeing all the photos. :D TFS!
ooooooooooh… looks like a GREAT Christmas :-)
little jealous here…
awesome photos Nat.. i love the 2nd one the most!
Your pictures capture the holiday so very nicely. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Lovely tree! and I like all your pictures. Looks like you had a fun time :)
Nat, I hope you are feeling better. Such a cute tree and that stuffing looks so very yummy!
Gute Besserung und wunderschöne Weihnachtsimpressionen
awww, I hope you feel better soon. your pictures are great and the turkey tasted even better than it looks in the picture. Thanks again for having us. It was a great evening.
wow- das sieht nach einem tollen fest aus ! gute besserung dir !!!
Gute Besserung meine Suesse und danke, dass wir vie Blog Weihnachten bei Euch reinschauen durften.
Love you xoxo
I hope to have something similar up soon! Also, I have taken a leap of faith.
YEAHHH – Weihnachten war super…und wird noch immer fortgesetzt. Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage mit unseren Freunden und ich habe ganz unglaubliche Geschenke bekommen! Unter anderem auch die seit vielen Jahren gewünschte ” A Christmas Story” DVD – wer das noch nie gesehen – auf jeden Fall anschauen – man krümelt sich weg!
YEAHH- Christmas was wonderful and it …still is. We had some amazing days with our friends and I got some unbelievable cool presents! I also got the “A Christmas Story” DVD which I wished for for several years – if you have never seen it – you gotta watch it – it is so hilarious!
[youtube width=”325″ height=”271″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZTZ_lxvBes[/youtube]
OK – Ich muß mal loslegen -heute sind wir 10 Leute zum Abendessen und der 8 Kilo Truthahn muss gefüllt und in den Ofen gestopft werden ;-)
Alrighty – I gotta run – today we are 10 people for dinner and the 18 pound turkey has to get stuffed and put into the oven ;-)
A “Friend”Christmas is somehow always better than a “Family”Christmas… and I know I am not the only one thinking this..
Good to hear you had and are having a great time honey!!
a late Merry Christmas to you!
HUGS
Es freut mich, dass Du schöne Stunden hattest! Nur weiter so & viel Spaß noch!
Hi Nat
i’ve never seen that movie, but you’re right. it looks very funny.
i’m glad you had such a great Christmas and you’re still celebrating with your family. enjoy!
Sandra
*rofl* Ob meine Tochter Dich mögen wird, für diesen Geschenktipp für’s nächste Fest? Und ich meine nicht die DVD … ;D
Viel Freude mit dem Federvieh!
Euch allen ein paar wunderschöne Feiertage – besinnlich und schön! Ich wollte ja ein ernsthaftes Video aufnehmen…aber wie Ihr sehen könnt, wurde ich in meiner Aufnahme jäh gestört…und ein wenig Spaß kann auch an Weihnachten nicht fehlen – daher zeige ich Euch das Video genau so!
I’m wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! May it be full of joy and love! I wanted to wish you this in a serious video …but as you will see…I was interrupted pretty cruel…and as fun should be included this holiday too ….I decided to show you this video as it is!
