The strangest thing hits me now and then. And I don't know if it's from hanging with my english speaking friends, or being brought great mags from my hubby's recent trip to London, or just the frustration of still not mastering the German language enough to really say what I mean. But it's been bad since I've come back from Minnesota this time. The whole thing is super ironic, because I've written before how things weren't exactly easy in London.
But the fact is I miss England, the english language, and home. No wonder I journal like a freak. Germany is great, but not being able to communicate you want to just gets to a person after awhile.
Speaking of journals, I had a little scare with Sampler Resolutionary. About a month ago I had to assess which spreads are "done" and which were in "various levels of completion." Dudes, it was a rude awakening. For a few days I nearly convinced myself that I couldn't complete it by the end of the year. Then I just dug in and have been at it nearly every day since. I really don't want to hit 2011 and still have it unfinished. I want closure. So here's one-half of the letter "E" for my old friends back in the UK!!
I totally get that you miss speaking your own language with the people around you, that must be hard. I feel like that when I write my blog sometimes, frustrated at the words not coming as easy as I want them to. I hope you can travel home every now and then?
Very cool spread btw. VerY!

You're more than welcome to come back here and we can maybe go hunting for some best ever cheese instead of best ever pretzel? Worth thinking about, I'm good with cheese and can teach you about it too :)

isn't it cute? I own one similar in gold that I got years ago, but if I knew your hubby's mail address I'd send him a link as a little Christmas idea.... ;-)
