<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love books. I love reading. I love being in the fantasy world and switch off for a while. Books work better for me than movies, I never "lived" a movie while I actually "live" a book, if that make any sense at all. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love collecting books. I've got plenty of them and it still is not enough for me. And I never sell a book or exchange it for another one. I get the idea though and I think it's really sweet. But my books are mine and it would feel weird of saying good-bye to them as it feels that we shared something together. A book really becomes a friend to me and you don't get rid of your friends.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have many books I haven't even read yet or read half of it and left it and now I don't remember where I finished (or what it actually was about) and have to start from the beginning. So I decided that this summer, starting from tonight, I will read the books I never had time to read. And to be sure I'll do that I moved them to my bedside table. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So now on my bedside table I have: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- 10 books I want to read, </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- an alarm clock I accidently stole from my previous landlord. It was in the room we used to rent and I just packed it up with everything else when we were moving.. if you're reading this Mr. Duncan then just know that I am really sorry (no, not really as I totally love the clock)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- two dwarfs from my shop - they remind me of how lucky I am to be able to follow my dreams</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- gameboy - Mr. Hubby still believes he can beat me on Mario Bros but I'm simply the best so he has no chances. I don't tell him that though. Only when I want to tease him. Which is always</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How is it that I never know what to write in my posts and then when I start they become so super long? I really wanted to make it short.. Anyway, I won't bore you any more (if any of you actually got to this point). Here's the list of books I'm gonna read. If you are interested of course :)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">The </span><em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; line-height: 16px;">Man Who Planted Trees b</em><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">y Jean Giono</span> - this story is so short it won't take me longer than 30 minutes to read it yet I still haven't done so.. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov - I read this book about 4 times already. It's my favourite one of all times so I will read it again.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arthur and George by Julian Barnes - I only bought this book because I really liked the cover. Yes, I do that quite often.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Self by Yann Martel - bought that one as I really liked Life of Pi </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Couscous with Pauline by Tina Johnston - written by my friend and I even have it signed! </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow, Insha'allah by Tina Johnston - already read it once couple of years ago and loved it! Want to read it again as Couscous with Pauline is a continuation so need to be in the picture :) You can buy the books <a href="http://www.greensunsetbooks.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life of Pi by Yann Martel - already read half of it, then left it (lack of time again!) and now I don't know where I finished..</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rio Anaconda by Wojciech Cejrowski - it's probably the wittiest, funniest and saddest travel book written (already started so I know). I don't think it's been translated to English yet, but if you know Polish then I strongly recommend it!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Atonement by Ian McEwan - started that one countless times and never went through the second chapter.. Don't ask me why</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - I think there was a movie made and Mr. Hubby wanted to see it. I made him wait until I read the book first.. (there are three more movies he wants to see but waits for me to read the book)</span></li>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I painted my lampshade over the weekend and now I really can't decide whether I like it or not. I'm pretty satisfied with the result but on the other hand it was supposed to look better, so I'm a bit disappointed too. Anyway, if you want to give it a try, here's how I did it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhO26Xf-08cYeRI3p0_9-IhEYs0An8XvxX3LcgePx5qb0AXEoWA6BCNAIleeqNRwTnfuiR5aWUYkWR5PJVhXCrj2-5CX723cemWJ6qGg05lotLanDPVp1OIL68mglKAN42gfinprdL1A/s1600/ombre+lamp+collage+-+ready.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhO26Xf-08cYeRI3p0_9-IhEYs0An8XvxX3LcgePx5qb0AXEoWA6BCNAIleeqNRwTnfuiR5aWUYkWR5PJVhXCrj2-5CX723cemWJ6qGg05lotLanDPVp1OIL68mglKAN42gfinprdL1A/s640/ombre+lamp+collage+-+ready.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In two bowls mix white paint with chosen colors. If you already have the colors you want to use jump to step 3.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will need to make two shades of the same color, one dark and one light. Make 1/3 more than you need.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In third bowl combine 1/3 of the dark shade with 1/3 of the light shade to create "middle" shade. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint. I found that the easiest way is to divide the object-to-be-painted into sections, one for each shade, then paint each section starting from its top. When you get to the point where the two shades meet, use a dry brush to blend them together - just go up and down with your brush, something like doing "x" with it until they blend nicely and you no longer see where they met (or until you are satisfied with the result. I achieved neither of that..). Repeat the process for all the sections.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I used a dry brush, then a sponge, then a cloth and finished it off with my fingers. The lampshade I painted was made with thin paper and because of that, and because it was a bit awkward to hold and paint it (and because it had wires all over, and it was round, and it was my first project) I didn't really blend it very well. But hey, Mr Hubby totally loves it so it's all good!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TIPS:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can choose any colors you like, they don't have to be shades of one color as you will blend them together with your "middle" color.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can use the technique to ombre paint pretty much everything, even walls.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In case of painting large objects I'd recommend adding an extra section between two sections that you are going to paint, for example for three shades you would need five sections. Use the blank sections to blend the colors together - in that case you will have equally divided colors as you will pretty much create two extra shades when blending the ones you already have. Hope that makes sense. *I haven't use this technique yet so I'm not sure if that would work well.*</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The easiest way to ombre paint a round lampshade is to paint spray it. Just simply spray it from the top and it will nicely leave you with an ombre effect. I didn't have the spray in the color I wanted. </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">P.S. As you may or may not noticed I haven't put any photos of my finished lamp. I simply haven't taken any yet and was hoping to do that this morning but it's raining outside and it's really dark in my room now, so I didn't manage to take a good shot. Will do so asap! :) </span></div>

The Chip' n 'Dale clock that we have no idea where we took it from plus our retro wedding invitation and a little heart Mr Hubby made for me. 3. My collection of cacti in mushroom candle holders from House Doctor. The little ones with our names were used as place cards (and favors) at our first wedding - yes, we had two. Cos we like celebrating. 4. The most beautiful wedding present we got from my godmother. Painted on glass specially for us!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love planning. Planning is my obsession and probably the only thing I do on regular basis. In fact I plan pretty much everything, and by everything I really mean everything. I write all my plans down in my planner (one of the 6 that I have) and... yep, that's where it ends - on a piece of paper as I never follow up with my plans. Don't get me wrong, I really want to do everything that I planned but somehow I become overwhelmed by the amount of things/projects that I need or want to do and I end up doing none of them. I will start one then move to another one without finishing the first one, then realise that there is another thing I really should be doing right now and.. Well, you see where it goes. I would get frustrated and angry with myself, get into a panic mode, try to do everything at once which is never a good idea and end up crying and telling myself I'm worthless and I will never achieve anything. And then I'll start comparing myself to successful people, cry even more, then become passive and get even angrier with myself. Then I will force myself to stay positive, start planning from the beginning and the whole process repeats itself. And let me tell you, this is what I hate most about myself (I really love myself, I just hate some things I do).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually I should have written the above in the past tense as for the first time in my life I found the way to stay on track, have things done and move closer to the life I want. I honestly do not want to bore you with all the process how I manage to get everything under control (oh how amazing that feels!) but if you struggle with similar problem you really MUST read <a href="http://vladdolezal.com/blog/2011/personal-development-plan/" target="_blank">this article</a> (or if you just want to improve some areas of your life)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, now that I learned how to follow up with my plans I honestly feel happier, more optimistic (hey, I can do anything!) and satisfied. And I no longer am angry with myself :) I will write more about self-coaching (yes, yes, I got into "improve myself" mode) and getting unstuck some other time - I didn't think this will be such a long post!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, we went for a romantic weekend away with Mr Hubby and it was amazing! We went to the prettiest little town I've ever seen and I fell in love with that place! One day I will buy a tiny little house there. I'll show you the photos next time as they still need to be edited (if I actually find any worth showing) and tell you more about the place. These are some other photos form the trip which are sort of ok as they are (oh ok, I did edit them a little..) I was pretty happy about them -taking into consideration I really don't know how to take good photos.. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently I am a very busy girl. Today I got up at 5:30 (yeah, ok, I realise that for some of you this is a normal time to get up but for me it still is like a middle of the night) and got to work. And I still will be working and trying to get on top of everything until late evening. It's been a long time since I felt this motivated and eager to work. I blame winter for that and those extra short days. It must have been some mad person that came up with all this time change that makes winter days so short. My body is still not used to this and I've been around for some time now. I probably should emigrate for the winter season somewhere warm (you see, I don't really like hot weather either, warm would be just fine).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But enough of moaning. So yes, I'm having a very productive day. Made some progress with my new camera (I'm thinking of giving it a name actually, any ideas?): I read 53 pages of the manual, took about 50 "abstract art" photos, know how to set the time and date (yes, very useful), wiped it way too many times and found it a perfect place/bag/home. I must admit that I was very naive thinking that taking photos would be a piece of cake. No, it is not. But I'm making (some) progress.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Year should be in Spring. Honestly, nothing gives me more strength, hope and motivation than seeing the world around me bursting with new life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have the feeling that I, too, am starting a new life. And this is a very good thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I received my camera a couple of days ago and it instantly became my best friend. Seriously, how could I have managed without it? I take it everywhere with me and take pictures of everything. But we don't know each other too good yet.. There is too many buttons/options/settings! I'm totally lost here.. Out of over 400 photos I've taken so far only few are reasonably good. The rest.. well, I like to call them "abstract art".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, now I can do all of my projects and share them with you. And share a little of my life too. Now I will be a blogger I always wanted to be. Yeeey! Happiness all around!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, almost forgot. These are Posh Cats - this time on canvas. Just need to add some final touches and put them up for sale (hopefully by the time I will learn how to take good pictures and will snap the Posh Cats better).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Spring!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been reflecting on my life recently, trying to find answers to many questions, wondering where my life will take me and simply how I want to live.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a very clear idea of what I want to do with my life, but the time passes and I seem to be in the exactly same spot I was few years ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then I realised that no, although I may be stuck in the same place, my mind is not. I undertook a very long and difficult journey, mostly feeling alone and scared, to become a person I will respect, love and cherish. And here I am now. And I am happy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now when I found the inner peace it is time for me to move on with my life and start organise the chaos around me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This post sounds a bit dark, but in fact it is a very happy post :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

I was always scared of experimenting when creating new things, can't explain why. I suppose I didn't want to be disappointed with the result. Finally I liberated myself from thinking this way and yeah, now I haven't got enough time for all my projects! It's unbelievable how greatly we can limit ourselves..</div>

Posh Cat series is the effect of my new way of thinking. They are brooches and will soon be available in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/keeko?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">my etsy shop</a>. </div>

I never heard of Dr. Seuss before, I must admit. I came across it while browsing the net and I'm so glad I did. Now I'm addicted. Here's 30 reasons why...</div>

I always try to stay optimistic, against all odds. And when it gets difficult I read Dr. Seuss. "Cat in the Hat" goes on my Christmas wish list (seriously this list is starting to be veeeeery long..)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: serif;">When it comes to wrapping Christmas presents I like to make it original without spending fortune on fancy wrapping paper. Here's few ideas on how to beautifully wrap Christmas presents using plain packing paper, newspaper or old maps and some extras - hope that this will inspire you to create something special this year.</span></div>

As for me.. well, I can't start wrapping my presents, cos I haven't got any yet. Everyone will get a book. Books always make good presents. Plus I cant always read them later!<br /><br />The photos used for this post do not belong to me. I have a large collection of photos I found on the internet, however I didn't save the links to them. If any of the photos are yours, please contact me and I'll be very happy to put a credit for you.<br />I use <a href="http://pinterest.com/keekodesign/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> now for my photo collection so will have the links for photos I use from now on. </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mr Hubby and I went to visit my family last weekend. We went for a walk with my father to a nearby forest. It was really cold (-20C!) but absolutely beautiful. We had some lunch and my very special secret tea. It was great! I want more days like this...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apart of that it's been a very busy week. And I still haven't managed to do everything I planned. Weeks should have more days. Hope you had a great week and a relaxing weekend!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love those long, cold evenings. Just wrap myself in a cosy blanket with a book in one hand and one of my "special winter drinks" in the other. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I'll share my favourite hot chocolate recipe</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with you</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I think it was my mum that invented it and it was our Sunday morning drink when we were kids. It's really delicious, sweet and super easy - hope you will like it too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">Ingredients:</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- full fat milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- dark cocoa powder / unsweetened cocoa</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- egg</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How to:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Measure 3/4 cup of milk and heat it up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Meantime beat egg white, when it starts to get stiff add a tablespoon of sugar and continue beating. Keep on adding sugar and beating until it becomes stiff. You may add some vanilla sugar at this point if you want. I usually use three tablespoons of sugar at this stage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Add two tablespoons of sugar to egg yolk and beat together until smooth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Make the cocoa - put two teaspoons of cocoa powder in a mug and mix with little hot water, then add hot milk. Leave some room for your "fluffy egg".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Put beaten egg white on your cocoa, then pour the yolk on top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Get a good book, sit comfortably and enjoy! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tips:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't sweeten your drink as the "fluff" is already quite sweet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To spice your drink up just add 1/2 teaspoon of chilli, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ea9999;">Please read:</span> I always pour boiling water over raw eggs before I use them to reduce the risk of salmonella contamination. For more information about safe use of raw eggs please read<a href="http://nifwlseirff.hubpages.com/hub/Is-It-Safe-To-Eat-Raw-Eggs" target="_blank"> this article.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm starting my Christmas preparations a little earlier this year - knowing myself I will run out of time anyway and half of the things will stay on my "Christmas To Do List". One of the things I really need to think of now is my Christmas tree. There is this tradition in my family that we dress the tree on the 24th, before we have very traditional dinner (and we start eating when we spot the first star!). This is going to be Mr Hubby's and mine first "married" Christmas and I just want it to be perfect.. We still live in his mother's house, in Mr Hubby old room so there isn't much space for Christmas tree. Let's face is - it's either the tree or we won't have the access to the balcony and I don't think Piri the Cat would like that much. So I need to compromise and make a space saving tree. I found those on the internet and I need to choose one and prepare everything for the 24th - I like traditions. What do you think? Which one?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this are my inspirations. I really like the last one as it's pretty big (and green). I could add some decorations to it, and fairy lights and all.. My only worry is that Piri and Lola (newest addition to the family) won't let this tree survive for too long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually never had an advent calendar. I mean we had those chocolate ones when we were kids but somehow it never survived the first week..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to create something original this year, you know, something more than just sweets. As I don't spend much time with Mr Hubby (yes, Mr Boyfriend finally became Mr Hubby!) being constantly busy I decided that this advent we will do something together every day. So I came up with a Date Advent Calendar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each one of us wrote secret 12 date ideas and we put them in our advent calendar house. I have to tell you - I am super excited since I had no idea what he prepared for me! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix all of the ingredients together - start with mixing salt and flour, then add water and oil. Kneel the dough for couple of minutes, once it's smooth put into a plastic bag and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start just make 6 balls - one large for the body, two smaller ones for wings, one, even smaller, for the head and two smallest ones for hands.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Using a sharp pencil make little mouth - they look like they are singing :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake them in no more than 100C. Too high temperature will cause bubbles to appear and trust me - you don't want that. Let them dry there for couple of hours. Once they are hard enough for you to handle them, take the foil of and put them back in the oven. Keep on checking on them, once they are hard on both sides they are ready.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a whole bunch of them for my Esty shop - just need to paint them now.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tips:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- do not leave the dough outside of plastic bag for too long as it will dry up and will crumble which makes it very difficult to work with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- if the dough is too dry - add a little water, if too wet - add some flour</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- it is better to make the balls one at a time to make the pieces - if you do all the balls together, they will dry up before you have the time to work with them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- I recommend using acrylic paints to finish off the angels</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- once you paint the angels cover them with clear acrylic spray or nail varnish </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came across those retro prints by <a href="http://inaluxe.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Inaluxe</a>. Needless to say.. I'm in love!! Like, I really am happy just by looking at this! I need them! Or at list one of them.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a huge fan of <u>everything</u> retro.. I always say that I should live in the 50's. Well, I'm glad I'm not in a way as I got to choose between so many styles!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can purchase the prints <a href="http://inaluxe.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. You can always get one for me too! Just kiddin' (nope, not really..) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After lots and lots of preparations we finally finished our online store! It took us way longer than we wanted - run into many problems along the way - but in the end we got there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, we already opened it once, but had to close it due to unexpected problems. We sorted them all out now and hopefully everything works as it should. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's been lots of changes here - both in the business and my private life.. Those really were some crazy months.. And there are more changes coming. I'm sooo excited! Will tell you more about it some other time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
