This week’s Manic Monday theme is ‘ornament’, and I immediately thought of a strange ornament I came across last Christmas. A pickle ornament.
The tradition is rumoured to have begun in Germany, but that is up for debate. It is said that it’s tradition to hide one of these green pickles on your […]

This week’s Manic Monday theme is Trick or Treat. Strangely enough I received a bit of a trick from one of my best girlfriends in my inbox tonight. I’m not sure how much of a treat it is, but you may at least get a giggle.

This week’s Saturday Photo Hunt theme is ‘Sweet‘.

Translated: “I can’t hear the game over the vacuum cleaner.”
4. […]
