Gem Award and Things I Love

Well, it has been a while since Rhianne from For the Easily Distracted gave me this award but now that I have finished with finals today, I finally have time to do a decent post about it :). First off I would like to thank Rhianne once again for giving me this award as well as for writing such sweet words about my gingerbread men. She was so sweet and lovely just like her blog is. I chose to write about things I loved for this award. So here goes...

I love...

...good pastries. I loved the bakery where we lived in Germany.
