Cozy Winter Baking for Christmas….

Hi guys

as we come closer to Christmas (can´t believe it is only a few days away – time runs so fast) there are more and more posts and feeds for baking.  I have choosen a few for trying out cause I need some cakes for different Christmas parites but I usually stick with my favorites the sugar cookies. #yummy 
They are so easy to make and the opportunities of garnishing them are endless. 
I am totally in the festive mood right now. You may have recognized cause all my posts this week have been Christmas related. I am done with with my tablespace for Christmas dinner and I am done with all the decoration. I also got every present since yesterday, just have to wrap the last ones I got. Now I just have to shop for groceries for our festive dinner and our get together with the rest of the familiy for the next day. 
And I am sure I wille be making sugar cookies again very soon cause we like them a lot and they disappear real quick 😉

(Sorry for the black shirt but I had to split the baking into two evenings cause I forgot to let the dough cool down for a few hours and then it was to late. And on the other hand my pullover got some stains from making the dough so I had to wash it.)

How to make a tasty Christmas punch….

Hi guys


as you might have found out by reading my blog constantly (and for all the new readers – welcome) I really do love Christmas. Despite that it can be very stressful with all the decoratin, baking, Christmas parties and hunting for presents it is the most wonderful time of the year. So it is clear to me to speand as much time as possible with chrismassy stuff. For me I like the Christmas markets. They are so festive with the trees and the lighting and the decoration. And as great is is to attend them it is also nice staying at home in a cozy and warm blanket and spoil myself with some Christmas punch. 


Today I am showing you how easy and quick it is to make you own punch at home. You just need a few ingridients. 

I am using an elderberry punch from the drug store
some cinnamon sticks
carnations and anis as spices
a sprinkle of rum (you don´t have to – is taste also great without)
slices of an apple and and orange

Shirt – Madonna
Cups – Ikea
Coasters – Drugstore (similar here)
Ring – H&M
Lips – Lipcrayon from Astor

How to get customized Christmas Invitations….

Hi guys

since I am hosting our families Christmas dinner I am trying to improve it every time it is my turn. As it had been very short term last year (I almost went crazy getting everything a few days before) I am planing upfront with lots of time ahead which means I am thinking about the color sheme and the menu weeks before. Than I am searching for the table decoration items and I am looking for recipes that match my thoughts. 

But the first thing is to get the invitations done. I have found a plattform with so many different graphic designs for almost every category you could ever choose. It is called freevector and you can use their templates for free – all you have to do is mention them at the end of your post or on your website your are using it for. You can also choose to get a subscription for I think about 10 Euros per month so you get access to even more templates.

I have choosen this one for my invitation cards.That is how it looks like when you download it from their site. And if you are good at paint or any other graffic program you can change it like I did to get the information onto it you like to.


After finishing the computer file and saving it on my USB stick I went to a papery store and choose the paper on which I wanted to print my cards on and also matching envelopes. As all the people I am inviting live nearby I decided to give them the cards personally so I didn´t have to write their adresses on the envelopes so I was able to put those little christmas tree stickers and rhinestones on the front of them which give them a festive touch as well.

It doesn´t take much time to make this by yourself and the pricepoint is really good since the template is free and you only have to pay for the paper, the envelopes and the print itself and maybe for some ornamentation if you like to.
