I got to scrap today

I feel somewhat normal today, a contrast to the disconnected-not-at-home feeling I have had since we arrived in Germany, because I got to make som thank you cards. We have been so blessed by the people here at Humedice, that even while we have had to stay here longer because the engine on our van was completely unfixable, we have enjoyed our stay. We have had a perfect little flat so that we could come home to our own space, and I could cook meals if I had the inclination (which I did, and I even created a new recipe 'shtepia pasta' that was oh so scrumptious). we had a vehicle to use in our travels of sightseeing, which were more than we had ever expected because of our extra time here. We had wonderful friends invite us to their homes and make us feel completely welcome and comfortable. But, today, really let me feel a little bit more sane! x-acto knife, sticky medium (in this case, double sided scotch tape, which I love), pretty papers, and pictures that I took and messed with in a German version of Photoshop (translation, or search and find the command, added at least 20 minutes to work time), and mz perfect, fine, felt-tip pen, and my life is a little bit brighter. hope yours are also. have a good day.
