... and I celebrated that fact by spending an indecent amount of money on craft papers and stickers at the Aldi supermarket. And I mean a really indecent amount, considering the fact that I can barely store what I already had. But they were so beautiful... Yes, it is an addiction. I consoled myself with the knowledge that if I would go to the Il Divo concert in December (which I won't), the cheapest ticked would cost three times as much. I still have a guilty conscience, though.

OTOH I've finished the second Christmas-themed pocket letter and it turned out really pretty. I promise pictures later. So, now that I've figured out how it works, I promised my colleague that we'll make them for the charity fair with her 6th term class. I hope it works out. At least three kids can work on one such letter together, so it will cost them less time than it cost me; especially if I produce the panels already cut and all they'll have to do is to decorate them. *knocks on wood*

I also watched Das Große Backen in the afternoon, which is the German version of The Great British Bake-off. Now I'm afraid I'll have to try my hand on the Opera cake somewhen.

I don't blame you for spending money on crafts stuff ... I'm always tempted. Says the woman who just bought 50 postcards ... *lol*

I've never watched Das große Backen ... I guess I don't because I'd feel inferior. I managed cakes/pies okay, but not elaborate "Torte".

Yes, but I make the dratted cards, which is an even more expensive hobby! So is trying out elaborate recipes...

Sounds like you have a good day. I hope that Monday wasn't too awful.
