A girl’s best friend

So, I’m thinking, this year as a Christmas/Birthday present to myself (I normally always buy myself a little something for my birthday in January) I’m going to buy myself something shiny. For one of my fingers 🙂 The middle finger probably (I like to wear rings on the middle finger). The engagement-ring (if I ever shall get one) will be on the ring finger for sure, but till then the middle finger will do.

So anyways I’ve been browsing the web the last few days and saw some lovely lovely lovely shiny rings. Unfortunately for me – the US has soooo much pretty and cute diamond rings and Germany doesn’t 🙁 but oh well.

Here are some pretty ones I found at amazon.com
So purdy! Well, my price limit is pretty low but who needs a lot of carat 😉

What’s something you’ve been planning to buy for yourself in the near future?

New Layout Needed

…this layout has been up way too long. And it’s way too dark for the nice warm and sunny seasons coming up. BUT I’m still not getting sick of it. That’s a good thing. I was thinking of putting an old layout back up.

and maybe editing them a bit but meh, I don’t know. I’m not too much in the mood to create a new layout at the moment.
So, I renewed schatzi.me for another year 🙂 I’m not getting sick of the domain name either. That’s nice as well. Lilalicious.com and Cuddle-bug.net didn’t last so long.

Are you still happy with your domain name and/or layout and/or everything about your site?

Favorite Etsy Shops

I like browsing Etsy.com, so I thought I’ll post some of my favorite shops.

Cute stuff makes my heart beat. I love purchasing purses and pouches on Etsy because they’re just plain unique. Nobody else has them. They look great. I also like cute things for the desk and wall and of course everything to do with maps 😉 Enjoy!

What are your favorite Etsy shops? Post the link and share!

Photos of the Apartment

So, today I took a few pictures of my new little apartment. We got new floor for the balcony so now it looks quite cozy. Here you go

This is where the morning sun hits. It’s sunny on the balcony all day!! Whee!

Our lovely HUGE TV which is being used mostly for watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S and “Germany’s next top model”, of course.

And btw, after reading about your comments on my last post, I ordered both purses 😀 They’re not here yet so I can’t wait.

Annual Quilting Bee Blog Day

Today is the Annual Blog Day Theqbee.net.

On December 15th, all bees with blogs have the opportunity to tell the world why they love the club, what their favourite activity is, the friends you’ve made (anything q*bee!) […]

If you’re not a member (yet), here are some reasons you might consider joining:

  1. If you’re active, you’ll make some new friends, get some new commentators for your site and find new sites/blogs to visit
  2. You get to create a cute Quilting Bee Page and collect patches from other members. You collect them to make your quilt bigger and bigger
  3. If you overcome your shyness, you’ll be able to get to know the Queen, the ultimate PHP ninja, the “ultimately better than you” Jem better
  4. If you enjoy pixeling, you can take part in Activities
  5. For every “good” thing you did, you can collect a Shroomy
  6. Members can vote for you and if you “win”, you’ll get an award for different categories, such as Unique Website, Creative Patch, Creative Quilt …
  7. You get to chat with other bees and talk about girly/boyly things, geeky things, random things… when other bees are online

Heh, I kind of feel like I’m in some sort of sect, writing all those things to persuade you to join  🙂  . Maybe the qbee will take over the world one day, you never know, right ((no, it’s not a sect – don’t worry)) ? 😉

Anyway… here are some things I really like about the qbee:

  1. I like to post at the Message Board
  2. I like to trade and get to add a new patch to my quilt and see it grow
  3. I get to meet new people
  4. Also if I’m not amazing in pixeling, I do enjoy taking part in the activities and try to pixel an activity patch
  5. Seeing I’m a Honeybee, I get to decide whether applying people get accepted or not *evillaugh* *jk*

So, if you’re looking to bee more active on the Internet, if you want to meet new people, if you like pixeling (or not – it doesn’t really matter), if you like bees (well, that really doesn’t matter too), then you can consider joining. You don’t have to, of course. It’s really not a sect, you don’t have to pay $1.000.000 a year and you’re not forced to do other things you don’t want to. Don’t believe me and think I’m talking in sarcasm-language? See for yourself and join Theqbee 😉

Happy December
