  4. vielen lieben Dank für die "Nominierung". das freut mich :) Ich kann leider nicht Stricken, sonst würde ich bestimmt mal was von Deinen schönen Sachen nachmachen! Hier in (Süd)Deutschland ist es nur grau (ohne Schnee- aber der Schlitten für meine beiden Kleinen kommt von den Großeltern ja auch erst zu Weihnachten. Wäre natürlich tolllll, wenn es dann mit Schneeflocken zum Rodeln klappen würde :)
    Viele liebe Grüße und auch Dir und Deinen Lieben ein hinreissendes Fest :)
