LO: TeamWork

jajaja- über TeamWork könnte ich Romane schreiben- LOL – also dann doch lieber einfach nur ein Layout ;-)

oh boy…I could write a book about team work  LOL – but let’s just stick to a layout ;)

*TeamWork*

This photo was taken on my way to work in Hamburg, Germany.
Journaling: It really bothers me sometimes that people- some people – are no team player. Team work can be so important. There is not that much to follow: Be friendly, do your share- respect what we others do and celebrate the sucess together. It is hard to understand why some people make their and other lives so miserable by just doing their own thing. I don’t know how to accept this- I guess I will never accept this.
Quote: Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. Henry Ford
Supplies: Rose Moka Papers and Stickers, Acrylic Paints, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, Autumn Leaves Crazy Stitching stamps.

Einen schönen Samstag Euch!

Wishing you a gorgeous Saturday!

Hello Valentine :)

Für mich ist ja dieser Tag eher wegen des Geburtstages meines Patenkindes Luca ein Besonderer – ich kann es nicht glauben, dass er dieses Jahr 9 Jahre alt wird.

Actually this day is special for me because of the birthday of my godson Luca – I can hardly believe that he is turning 9 today.

Aber natürlich gibt es noch meinen anderen Valentin – lol –

But of course there is still my other Valentine – LOL

Und einfach so – wenn ich so darüber nachdenke- fällt mir wieder auf, was für ne glückliche Socke ich doch bin – LOL – das wird man doch mal sagen dürfen oder?

And actually just as I think about it…I realize once again – what a lucky trooper I am – LOL – if I dare to say so :)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Back from London :-)

Was für ein rasantes Wochenende. Ein kurzer Trip nach London, Freunde treffen, Museumsbesuche, gutes Essen, viel Regen, viel Kälte, auch ein wenig Sonnenschein, geschichtliche Fortbildung und die Inanspruchnahme aller erdenklicher Verkehrsmittel. Einen Eindruck könnt ihr beim lauten und schlechten Video bekommen- LOL
