First off was a week of holidays. Fine. But, although you usually bring back some kind of souvenir, a gastronintestinal virus wasn't really on my list. That's where the second week passed. In bed. ;)
Oh, and another thing: We flew to Turkey with Condor, and back to Germany with SunAir. While we knew that SunAir wouldn't offer any snacks and no free drinks, Condor said there would be a snack. I expected a small sandwich or some such, according to the 3,5-hour-flight. What we got was one very thin and quite small waffle. I mean, really?? If you can't afford to give out a decent snack, just don't offer one at all. AND the children didn't get one, as a rule. What a joke. But at least the kids got coloured pencils and a small colouring book, which was nice. Well, I gues you can't have everything. ;)Anyway, holiday's over, family's fine now, so let's get started.
A really nice thing about the Etsy platform is the possibility to promote oneself and others through teams. There are hundreds of teams with all kinds of different foci. One such team is the Bizzy Bee Hive, which promotes its members through all possible means, and also often has team events (Hive Parties). People can win real prizes there, donated by fellow team members.Kathleen won my donation, a custom-made pair of earrings made according to winner's specifications, and she chose a variation of my Earth earrings. Essentially, she wanted the same design, just with a blue or silver bead instead of the yellow one. She decided on a blue drawbench bead, which accents the main bead made from tourmalated quartz quite nicely.
