Germany?

Hey ladies, hubby just found out we got orders to Germany and will be moving there in November!

Was wondering if any of you are from there, been there, know where to scrappy shop there? thanks!

I don't know first hand, but I can ask around to a couple of my gal pals. Not sure if any of them were ever crafty, but they can at least give me an idea.

Grats on the fun orders!!! We were offered Italy before WA and we were hesitant to take them. Italy is the ONE spot where I have heard both good and bad things. Germany I have only heard good!

Thanks for hunting down info for me!

So far I've only heard good things about Germany too, but I'm still crazy nervous! lol

Wow, that's quite a move!

Wow, that is very exciting for you! It will be a fantastic experience, I am sure. I wish I could help with info on being there, but I can't wait to hear your stories and see all the beautiful pictures I am sure you will take.

I lived there for 3 years and absolutely loved it. Wish we could get orders for there again. Not sure about any scrapbook shops though. We were there about 7 years ago and i never came across one.

i went there when i was younger and we are planning a trip back there soon. my dad was stationed there for years when he and my mom first got married.

i am sure it is awesome living there..have fun!

I have been to Germany once and I lvoed it - but I have no idea where to find scrapbook stores over there.

Maybe Christiane will see this thread and tell you all about the Germany scrapbook world!

oh how fun!!! My Dad was stationed there for 3 years in the AF and LOVED IT! My Dad's family is from there so I'd love to get back and trace some of our roots!! Other than that, I have no idea what Germany is like but I hope you enjoy being there!!!!

WOW Congrats to you guys !

Happy packing and I will see if I can find any info for you

Ooh, have fun in Germany. I know it's hard to just pack up and move around in the military, but I bet it's cool getting to live in so many different places. If I hear of anything I'll let you know:) Good luck!

I wish we could get stationed there! I keep telling DH I'm catching a space A flight there very soon!

I'm sure there are some amazing scrappers in Germany!

So excited for you! Germany is GORGEOUS!!!!! Been there twice and loved it! So much history. It's amazing to be in Munich and eat in the same restaurant where Hitler started gaining his momentum. Look at the architecture, the history, you'll realize how "young" America is in comparison!

Word to the wise......Germany, and probably Europe as well, is a lot more "progressive" then we are here in the states. For example, Where as here there would be frosted glass to cover up certain magazines, there it's wide open and out in the public.

Where will you be stationed? Down south in Bavaria it's very different than up north near Berlin. Think oompah band, beer gardens vs more cosmopolitan and city like.

ahhh....I'm jealous!!!

I saw that on FB!!! Wow! Are you excited?

Thanks for all the well wishes and info ladies!!

At first I was kind of freaked out, but now that I wrapped my head around it I am soooo excited!! <a href=http

I'm gonna be a picture takin, scrappin fool over there! lol

I'm definetely a little worried about all the nudity since my son is 10 and at VERY impressionable age.. I'll be doing ALOT of eye covering lol

We'll be stationed in Geilenkerchen. It's on the border of the Netherlands.

How awesome!!! CONGRATS!!! I don't know about scrapbook stores but let me tell you...I'd love to go there!!
Hugs

I just wanted to add if you have the chance live Off Base instead of on. A much better experience

We have to live off base because there's no on base housing so I'm pretty excited about that!

I'm excited for you. When will y'all be going?

You will love it! When i lived there our landlord could not speak English hardly at all so I learned a lot from just trying to communicate with him and his family

You will LOVE it!

I am originally from there and lived in Berlin for the first nine years of my life. I left my heart there when our family moved to the States!
