I got this great idea a couple of days ago that I was going to paint my room! So I went online and found these paper lantern stencils that I really liked, but of course I didn't want to pay the 50 euros for the stencil, so naturally I took it upon my self to make my own! Here is how it turned out: 

The stencils!

Stencils ready for the paint!

   Not the final work, but getting there!

                                                           Yes I DID actually paint!                                      

Best way to see Berlin!!

Olivia just went on a class trip to Berlin! She took this picture of an awesome Bar on wheels!!! Each bar stool has pedals and when the bar tender rings the bell everyone has to start pedaling!! No better way to sight see!

Gotta love the Rings!

Got this great ring when we were in Rome, from a little shop called Ute Dewald!  www.utedewald.com

You may Kiss the Ring!!

On Sunday we went to Pompeii (north of Naples). I just, after a lot of work that was deleted by mistake a couple of times, finished this slide show… don't worry I will add captions and a description of what everything is but until then just have fun trying to guess was the pictures are!

THE 5th of december!!- Kinder eggs!
