Advent - familiy time
Hello my dears,
I'm so sorry that I didn't manage to open a door on Saturday and even yesterday. Maybe you read on Facebook that it was because of family stuff. Still today this topic hasn't left my mind and I'm very disappointed about the situation in my family on my mother's side. Harmony is a foreign word in this family. Everybody doesn't like the other one and talks about things he isn't concerned and he doesn't know about.
I'm 17 years old and it's no secret I'd prefer living nearer at my relatives than over 300km away. After each visit I count the weeks till the next one and four weeks before I can't speak about anything else. Nevertheless I don't wanna go there the next weeks because there's already struggle. I'm sorry that I have a godson in Peru. I'm sorry that I'm member of the Red Cross. I'm sorry that I do church stuff voluntary. And I'm sorry I don't wanna sleep at my grandma's house because I don't want her to have this work with meals and linen. I'm sorry that I'm the way I am and if I'm not welcomed you don't have to see me.
I hope your pre-Christmas time is much better and you enjoy the free time with your family but:
And here's already the next photo of Olly Murs. Sometimes I'm listening to a song and just one line speaks to me that I have to post about immediately. Olly Murs - Anywhere else

Happy St. Nicholas Day!
Hello my dears,
Today is a very special day. Of course it's St. Nicholas Day and all of us are more or less in a Christmas mood. Tomorrow I'll do some Christmas shopping and I hope I can find something suitable for me loved ones. It's not easy always choosing the right thing.
Also my German blog celebrated its 300th post today, I know it's nothing special for this anniversary but I already plan the real anniversary on the 2nd April. I know there's still a longer time left but I wanna do a whole week with small surprises for you again.
So enjoy your evening,
_Marie_

memo - DRP envelope
Hello my dears,
As you know, this month everything is about upcycling and environmental protection. I'm looking forward to the next four weeks when I can give you my stuffy tips within reason.
Because I have to send a few letters the next time, I was looking for a better alternative for classic envelopes last week. After a short time I found this page
and enquired about the production of this product
http://www.memo.de/DRP-Briefhuellen-DIN-C6/Direkt-Recycelte-Briefumschlaege-und-Versandtaschen/Versand-und-Verpackung/Bueroartikel.memo?groupId=4388&page=group.jsp.
Instead of handling with new paper, they take scrap paper like old maps, calenders or posters for the envelopes. First class upcycling because of the avoiding of trash and making a new product out of it with less energy and water needs. This product can call itsself the most ecofriendly envelope according to the 'Öko-Institut', not bad?! A package with 100 pieces costs 6,84€, that means 6,8 ct per envelope. In my opinion it's a very fair price because you don't just help the environment but also German working places. Memo was very kind and sent me a parcel of it. Thank you again! I'll try them very very soon.
I found a lot of other great things in the shop, like Christmas presents or school and office stuff. But the coolest thing is this one:
That's really a bag with a solar cell that can charge your smartphone or MP3-player. Great thing! Didn't know that this exists.
Great fun when browsing through the ecofriendly portal and have a great day!

Word of the month 12/13
Hello my dears,
Luckily everybody knows recycling nowadays and more and more people regard such products when they are shopping. But how about upcycling? Do you know this word? I explain you the difference to recycling with an easy example:
Maybe you can remember an old word of the months. I talked about my collection of sunglasses and was looking for a possibility to store them. About one month ago I had an idea and I was busy with this upcycling stuff. The basic shelf is always the same, I'll show you my version step by step. During the following four weeks I'll present you also other upcycled things. This time I used mandarins' boxes, old bonbon papers, old wooden boards and a tiny bit of color from the cellar.
For four sunglasses you need:
* one empty mandarins' box
* color
* glue
* 'glitter paper' [old bonbon and chewing gum papers]
* three thin wooden boards, ca. 7 x 18cm [you can take the wood from other mandarins boxes]
* 12 small spikes
* thin carton and cellotape
Let's start:
At first clean the mandarins' box, that means remove glue and paper from the sides and wipe it out. Probably there are some small holes in the bottom, so cut circles out of the carton and fill it with the tape into them. Now just choose a pretty color for painting the box' outer face and the wooden boards. If you want, you can of course paint it everywhere. When the color is dry, paste the inside of the box with the glitter paper in a suitable color, I collect these papers for years now because I think it's a pity trashing it. My paper hasn't clung at once so I put glue on several parts after the first drying again. When again everything is dry , mark six points for the spikes, there are always two points at the same height and have a distance from about 7cm, to the next two nails but you can see it better on the picture.
I made three boxes and found the perfect place to look at my favourites all the time. I hope you like this upcycled DIY and you maybe try it on your own. I'd like to see pictures of yours then! If you need any filling, here are the links to my 'bestsellers:

You buy a bottle of water. The glass bottle has to get produced, therefore you need energy and resources. When the bottle is empty, you got two possibilities. You can put it into a bottle bank, your bottle gets a new life after remelt it down. That's a good idea but you again need energy for it. Instead of trashing it, you could decorate it and use it as a vase for example. In both cases your bottle lives a new life but with the second possibility you wouldn't need energy for it, so it's recycling that's even more environment-sparing. That's upcycling. You create something new out of trash. I already deal with this topic for a longer time now because the perfect combination of environment and DIYs is
