Deutsch und Englisch? German and English?

This is for my German readers- I simply want to know if they think the German translation is necessary.

    Also lesen kann ich Dich dann zwar eher nich mehr, aber ich reim mir auch gern mal was zusammen zu Deinen schönen Werken. Ein wenig schade für mich zwar, aber ich bin ja selbst Schuld. ;)

    ich hab jetzt “nein” geklickt und hab so’n Fragegewuseln in meinem Kopf, ob ich richtig geantwortet hab. Also nein, ich lese es NICHT NUR, wenn es auch eine Übersetzung gibt. Englisch reicht mir völlig aus!!

You may have heard and seen about the devastating flooding affecting Australians in Queensland with 75% of the state declared a natural disaster zone. Lives have been lost and loved ones are missing!!

Ihr habt wahrscheinlich von den zerstörrerischem Hochwasser in Australia, Queensland gehört, bei dem 75 % des Staates dort zur einer Naturkatastrophen Zone erklärt worden. Es starben Menschen und viele geliebte Menschen werden vermisst.

First post in 2011

happyny

to all of you! I hope you had an as amazing- or probably some of you still have :) New Year’s Eve as we had. We celebrated with good food, watching the fireworks from the roof terrace and cheering and partying the new year with our neighbors. The only reason why I’m up already is that I’m trying to beat the jet lag – LOL.  It was a good start and I’m looking forward to this promising and vey exciting year ahead ! Wishing you all a rockin’, healthy, creative and wonderful New Year 2011!

Come and play along saying bye bye to 2010

To wind down a year and appreciate what I created and what I did,  I have been posting my own 12 favorite layouts and 12 favorite photos of the year in the past two years at the end of the year.

Um ein Jahr abzuschließen und auch um noch einmal an alles zu denken, was ich so im Jahr kreiert und erlebt habe, habe ich die letzten zwei Jahre immer meine 12 Lieblingslayouts und Lieblingsphotos am Ende des Jahres gepostet.

Favorite Layouts 2008, Favorite Layouts 2009 and Favorite Photos 2008 and Favorite Photos 2009
I will do the same on the 30th – Ich werde das gleich am 30. machen

this year on my blog and if you do the same, make sure to step by and leave a comment with a link of your year Bye Bye 2010 posts – I would love to take a look :) ( you can use the images I made and link back to my blog if you want).

Und wenn Ihr das gleiche machen wollte, dann kommt doch an den Tagen einfach vorbei und hinterlasst einen Link in den Kommentaren auf meinem Blog zu Deinem Bye Bye 2010 Post – ich würde gerne mal reinschauen :) (und wenn Du magst, kannst Du auch meine Bildchen benutzen und zurück auf meinen Blog linken).

Thanks to  you all- it was wonderful. And a special thanks to all of those Secret Santas that participated in the super secret special mission of sending one extra ornament to one of our Santas that did not receive her ornament last year. That was so sweet of you!!!

Vielen Dank an Euch alle- das war wundervoll. Und einen besonderen Dank an all die Secret Santas, die in der super geheimen Sonderaktion mitgemacht haben und einen ExtraAnhänger an einen unserer Santas rausgeschickt haben, der letztes Jahr keins bekommen hat. Das war so lieb von Euch!!!

So maybe see you next year for the fifth anniversary of Secret Santa Ornament Swap :)

Also bis vielleicht zum nächsten Jahr- dem 5. Jubiläum des Secret Santa Ornament Swaps :)
