oo cool finds! I haven't thought of stamps - that's a good way to go too! Definitely looks like great a way to add some fun, interest and impressive-looking fanciness into baking / crafting!

Re: Appreciate every day, yay!!!
I appreciate the day!
I enjoy slow days like today. I enjoy it when there is no rush.
Yesterday morning I bought myself a new online painting course I already watched the beginning of it. The instructor is really amazing and she has a great intuitive approach to painting (aka allowing the painting to evolve, rather than pushing towards an imagined end goal, sounds really Abe-ish as I am thinking about it right now... ) She showed how she has a small altar in her painting studio with little trinkets, candles, plants and some incense going on. She explained how before she starts her painting practice she always lights the candles, makes herself a cup of tea and burns a little bit of incense, just to really be in the moment and get out of her head. I lovvvved that!!! I immediately got up and set up a small space in my studio with colorful gemstones, carved indian figures and a Buddha figurine my father gifted me and a rock crystal. I love the idea of tuning in with myself and having that little moment for myself before I work in there now. It feels so self-loving and grounded. Like I am appreciating and blessing the room and myself and whatever I get to make in there... I can envision myself painting in such an environment while soul soothing music is being played from my phone.
Also I went on the most amazing walk yesterday. I love that I live in the city but also next to an area with fields, woods and rivers. I love nature. Yesterday was beautiful. The weather was cool, grey and rainy. But I loved it. It was fitting to the whole experience, because at this time of the year Germany's nature always looks a bit harsh, and I like that. Mossy trees, dark branches, earthy and stone colors, mushrooms growing on tree trunks, the soft fresh rainy air in my face, magical places in the forest that are swamped, with unruly branches going in every direction. I love that!! I like to feel connected to nature. I love how it is wild, untamed. I like to see how it changes with the seasons. I love how it makes me feel.

Re: Appreciate every day, yay!!!
How my life is good
Yesterday I made a delicious cauliflower cream soup. It was so delicious that I got myself a second serving, nom nom
I love that my husband does not mind me experimenting in the kitchen, lol
There are so many interesting, yummy recipes to try out! I love that! I love how everywhere in life I find opportunities to express myself creatively. I also love how there is inspiration everywhere. I constantly come up with new ideas on what to cook by using Pinterest and Instagram.
I love how there is still some of my cauliflower soup left and I get to taste it again today
Today I am going to make Gnocchi with a vegetable cream sauce. That's a recipe I made up It is going to be deliciouuuuus!
Yesterday I made a little photo booklet from our wedding. I want to have it printed three times, one is for us and one each for our parents. They will love it. Parents love photographs
It was so much fun to go through all of the beautiful photos that the photographer made. I got to marvel at my beautiful dress. I saw all the smiling guests again, how beautiful the weather was. And of course my handsome husband looking gooooood in his suit. That made me really happy. I am very happy that I had such a beautiful wedding! I feel blessed and grateful! And now I am really looking forward to the booklet
This is the flower decoration my Mum made. She is a florist by profession and gifted us with these table arrangements as well as my wedding bouquet

I love the soup, too! But even more I appreciate that you let us know, you had your wedding! SO SPECIAL, so big!! In German, it is called "Hochzeit": The high time, being on top of your life. IN LOVE! With SUCH beautiful shoulders and an obviously beautiful figur! AND a loving creative Mom!
I hope you are sooo happy, and I bless you (take that from an old woman who is this year 40 years (mostly) incredibly happily married!
I sooo appreciate the love that has called you together. I appreciate the hope and clarity and decision to go for a happy life, in good and bad days, that you pulled off and celebrated. Deliberate Intention is the name of the game and the key to bliss (and then, talking and walking it, no matter what). How wonderful!!
The job of our Soulmates is to make us learn UNCONDITIONAL love...
If he's a good soulmate- he WILL give you grief!
Abe
You can live happily ever after!
You don't "fall out of love".
You stop focusing in love!
