{nifty thrifty sunday #93}

Welcome to this week’s {nifty thrifty sunday}!

I apologize for falling off the face of the earth this past week.. Things have been a bit crazy around here. Between spending one evening in the emergency room with my hubby (he’s okay now :) ), buying a new (to us) car and the every day craziness of work, I just didn’t get around to preparing any posts.. I hope it will get better this upcoming week. ;)

Thank you so much for stopping by to party with us this week! I can’t wait to see what you have been up to!

        Ooops I meant congrats with your new car not var ;-) I’m from a small town near Kolding in Jutland, if you where that’s is. We have a lot of snow here, so it’s perfect for some kipferl baking, I haven’t forgot it! Love to follow your blog, it’s so nice to see some german inspiration! Have a wonderful day!

    It’s so scary to have to make a trip to the ER. Glad Mr. Nifty is doing well. Taking care of yourself (and the Mr. of course) are always the most important. We’ll always be here when you return. {hugs}
