last day, last cupcake

Hello muffins! This is officially the last day of a beautiful year, full of happy moments and a bunch of cupcakes...

I'm  posting  my New Year's Resolutions, although i haven't finished them yet!

I just realized the each and every year you change. In bits and pieces you alter and you become more like yourself. You discover things you didn't know and get better. The most important thing of all is to keep all the wonderful friends always by your side. That is a thing that should never change no matter how many years pass!

apple and cinnamon delights

Hello lovelies! I hope that you are all enjoying yourselves so much! The food and the sleep are just terrific this time of year! 

The only problem that I am having is the fact that i can't concentrate 100 % to my studying/homework. Although today, i did great on my Latin class (thumbs up!) and i got so proud of myself that i decided to bake winter muffins! I went for a new recipe, with apples and cinnamon!

they're sooo delicious..probably the best muffs i made in 2010!

Lately i have been enjoying myself so much that at some point i got worried! Its so odd to be lying on the couch,having lunch while watching How I met your mother and feeling so indescribably HAPPY. Its such a little thing. Imagine what it feels like when making muffins!

I also went on a quick shopping spree today and got an Audrey Hepburn shirt and a lovely cream-knitted pair of tights! (again the happy feeling!)

On 31st of December i'm doing my resolutions list! I always get really excited in new beginnings :)

Wish you all a great night!

winter wonderland

Hello my dear gingerbreads and merry Christmas!

I hope you'are enjoying yourselves so much that you don't even have enough time to blog about it!

This month has been great! We did so many super exciting things, one of them being the Swap NOT Shop party!

I am enjoying so much my Christmas break. Everything is magical outside; the decorations, the smells, the wrapping papers and the holiday sweets. I started using my Vanilla Spice shimmering lotion from Body Shop and my Vanilla body mist and everyone tells me i smell like a Christmas cake! I so love this!

Yesterday i went shopping for a pair of Mary-Jane black shoes and a cute dress! 

Today i went to IKEA with Daphne, bought some baking essentials and had the best time exploring the little houses and stuff. We ate muffins, cinnamon rolls and drunk hot chocolate (free refill rocks!) We also made wishlists for our exchange presents!

Today afternoon I am baking Christmas cookies or cupcakes! I still haven't made my mind!

I have been waiting so long for this time of year so that i could bake and bake and bake non stop! Now its time!

Όλα είναι τόσο όμορφα στολισμένα και φανταχτερά...Θα νόμιζες οτι ξύπνησες σε λάθος εποχή, και όλα στροβιλίστηκαν γυρω απο ασημόσκονη. Ειναι ολα σαν να φωναζουν "Ελα παλι του χρονου και θα την περασεις ζάχαρη". Πρεπει να περασει αυτη η χρονια. Και τοτε έρχονται στο μυαλο εικονες και σκεψεις απο τα Χριστουγεννα του 2011...Σ'ενα καινουριο cosy σπιτάκι, με φωτάκια στα παράθυρα με τις κρέμ/ρόζ κουρτίνες, το Χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο στολισμένο με βίνταζ στολίδια και gingerbread cookies δεμενα  με γυαλιστερές κορδέλες...Στην εξώπορτα, κρεμασμένη μια κορνίζα με τη φωτογραφία που εσύ και ο γάτος σου ο Τηγανίτας, φοράτε χριστουγεννιάτικα σκουφιά.

Στον αέρα χορεύει μια μυρωδιά βανίλιας όσο τα καπκεικς και το ζεστό τσάι ετοιμάζονται. Η χριστουγεννιάτικη ταινια ειναι στο pause και εσυ ετοιμάζεις το φρόστινγκ..Και κάπου εκεί στη βιβλιοθηκη...πλάι στα στριμωγμένα βιβλία της ζαχαροπλαστικής ειναι τα βιβλια της σχολής σου...

"Θα τη περάσεις ζάχαρη!"

Εύχομαι τετοια εποχη του χρόνου, να διαλέγω τσαγιερες στο BUTLERS, να τυλίγω δωρα για τις κολλητές μου και να φτιάχνω σουφλε.

Για το 2011, που με τόση αγωνία και χαρά περιμένω...

Ευχομαι όλα σας τα όνειρα να γινουν κάποτε πραγματικότητα...Σας φιλώ γλυκά και καλά Χριστουγεννα!♥

i miss lazy afternoons

Bonjour loves! I am happy to get back to you, blogging about Christmas stuff and wishes. However i think there's something wrong with me.

I am having a tough time focusing on my studying. I keep thinking about next year, or how much i wanna bake cupcakes and decorate them with my best friends, or go shopping, or make plans for my future home, or even stare out the window while drinking hot cocoa. Simple as that. BUT I CAN'T. Cause if i do all these things, i'd feel guilty for not studying. But on the other hand, i can't study either. I've come to a place where i can't even look at my books. I am fed up. With my mom, with my teachers and my papers. Argh. 5  more months to go. Only 5. I wish i had a time machine.

Anyways, I'm so sorry for whining i know its not fair. Everything will go back to normal really soon!!! This week was pretty fun! Decorated the Christmas tree and my room. Went  to the Christmas Bazaar at my shcool where we girls, served tea, went for some quick shopping! It was so nice!

marshmallows bought for decorating cupcakes

only wish i had time to bake some!!

 I also wrote a letter to Santa.

Probably you must have prepared your Christmas Wishlists. But even if you haven't, now its time to do so!

Grab your pens and papers and write down all your thoughts and wishes. Then when the time comes, cross them over. It's such a great feeling!

MY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

a waffle maker

I only wish i didn't have to go through this tough year. I wish i could move right now to a cool house with  a great view, decorate it with my Ikea stuff, bake gingerbread cookies and hang them on the tree, go shopping with m best friends to pick teapots and cookbooks. The only thing that keeps me motivated is this. I should really focus 'cause the best days are coming!

xoxo

I am waiting for your wishlists beauties!
P.S: My dearest readers please check out this blog!!! Little Jeanne is doing her magic, once again!

dream a little dream of me (21 days left)

i so love this song-puts me in the perfect christmas mood!
hello dear readers, it's been a tough week and i am so sorry if i have not replied to your comments yet. The upcoming week is even worse but the fact that Christmas is almost here makes me feel so much better. I am so excited for the upcoming Swap NOT Shop party that is about to take place on December 19 plus, its the muffin edition!
I have been making some lists about christmas stuff i will be needing! I'll finally buy a waffle maker and some new lights to put on my window. I need a big red jumper and a pair of polka dot tights.
I am planning on throwing a Cupcake-Christmas-Tea party at my place as soon as I decorate the tree with my dad! We will be baking lots of cupcakes, drinking tea and watching  Christmas movies. It's gonna be perfect

Oh, i SO love this picture (combine my two passions in the world: little children and baking!)

Christmas is all about hot chocolate, white lights on the windows, gingerbread cookies with shiny ribbons on the christmas tree, cinnamon and vanilla scent in the air, plans and wishes, walks in the afternoon tucked in your warm scarf, glitter and stardust, Frank Sinatra songs and baking!

I suggest you make lists with all the things that you like about Christmas! Write down your thoughts and wants about this specific year. Plan your days and have an amazing time! Go shopping with your friends, buy teapots and bake gingerbread cookies. Decorate them with your little brother or sister, have fun in the kitchen, listen to happy Christmas songs and watch Home Alone. Because Christmas without that movie is like a cupcake without frosting!

Kisses to you all and thanks so much for your wonderful support!

and don't forget: 21 days till Christmas
