Bummer, Bridal Shower Fun and my Little Sister!

Soooo...
I guess the house didn't work out last night. Well, it DID work out, we loved it! Maybe a tad too small for what we were expecting but we could make it work! The garden made up for every little negative thought we might have had about the old house!

But it was an open house night so there were lots of people! There were even people measuring everything, taking pictures and looking at us like it already was their house and we were just intruders! Haha :)

The sales girl told us they weren't supposed to go under the price (which was indeed pretty low for a house like that, they wanted to get it sold as soon as possible), especially since there was so much people that really seemed like they wanted to bid on the house! So we had to let our dreams go... (not the baby dream, ofcourse!!)
I may or may not have cried a little... (or a lot?)
If the house is still for sale next week we'll give them a call to see what we can do.

On a brighter note: tomorrow is the bridal shower!!
I still have to find some things but the big things are all ok, thank God.
Tonight I'll do the decorations, tomorrow morning its the bridal shower brunch, yeeey.

AND also: my sister will be staying with us for the weekend!
She's very sweet but very different than me hah!My parents will be going on a weekend-trip and they didn't want her to be home alone because she's had such a hard time on school. She really needs her rest and she really doesn't know her limits haha :)
So I got the nice job of pampering her! And it's fun because now she can come to the bridal shower too!

I love this picture SO much!

It's so typical of each of the three people in it :)

Hannah, Jeff, my Daddy

Secrets in the night...

Yesterday evening I had an evening on my own. Jeff had a course to go to about refugees&church.
I asked him to set a video ready for me to see when he was gone (it was The Help, great and funny movie! Loved it so much!!) but secretely.... Secretely I had planned something else to do!!

Christmas decorations!!! I love Christmas so much! I like the cold (as long as I'm wearing enough clothing and as long as it's not raining!!)

When I heard Jeff coming in and getting up the stairs, I got "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" on and started dancing. He liked it very much I think hahaha!

Oh and by the way, I got finished in about an hour, which gave me plenty of time to watch my movie :)

Jeeej, it's the best time of the year again! :)

Comin' up tomorrow: pictures of PARIS!! (sorry Joke you'll have to wait a day longer, this was more important to post because I was so excited hahaha!)

Thankfulness

I just saw a wonderful decoration idea over at Simply Vintage Girl (well, actually at Honey we're home, linking to Simply Vintage Girl!)

Isn't this pretty?!
I'm going to look into it to try and make something similar myself :)

Wouldn't this be a perfect idea for Thanksgiving? We don't celebrate it over here, but still, it's never a bad time to be thankful :)

Look what I made!

Look what I've been doing in stead of studying like a good student is supposed to do....

I made some invitations to go shopping for a weddingdress!!!

 It says: Coupon for going on a weddingdress-hunt (and place, date, to, from)
I made one for Petra, who's going to witness at my wedding (hopefully!) and one for my little sister :)
Maybe I should make one for my mother too, she would love that :)

It's just some fancy paper, some white/gold ribbon and LOTS of cutting and trying to stick it together!
I think it turned out ok, maybe a little less fancy than I would have hoped it would... But I'll try to find something to stick on it, like a little flower or something like that! That'll be very pretty :)

Yeey for me :) I'm happy I did something I like!
