Thanks everybody!
I had a great birthday. My boyfriend and I spend a day at a fancy hotel which used to be a castle. There we had a 4 course candle light dinner. The weather was great so we were able to stroll through the nearby woods.
I also got a voucher for the craft store in town. I almost used it up already. They were open yesterday for some special reason (usually shopes are not allowed to open on Sundays in Germany). The craft store had like a little fair where they presented all different kinds of crafts. And there was one booth where they showed there new zip'e mate and some scrapbooking stuff (mostly albums and paper). I was able to do my first layout there. It was supposed to be a christmas layout - but unfortunatly they didn't have any christmas paper so I just used green checkered papaer. I will take a picture of it later and then post it. I think it turned out pretty good after all - except of the title. Somethings seems to be missing there. The store was also open but the staff was strange as always. I asked if they had plain cardstock and they said no. Later I found it myself and I bought half of it with my voucher (they didn't have very much - like on sheet per color). Also I asked if they could order things if I would tell them what I want. The lady said it depends on the company. I said like Making Memories (they had some making memories products there) and the lady said I don't know making memories. We don't sell products from this company. But it was right there... The problem was, that they order it from Kars which is a company who apparently orders everything from the US and then sells it throughout Europe. Oh well, I think they should know there products better. Anyhow I'm a little disappointed again by this shop and I will just use up my voucher without asking anything else....
