...and the very last one this year😊

 So, the year is coming to an end. 

Christmas day is a quiet day in our house. We relax and think about the busy day we had yesterday with the family at home. 

Everybody seemed happy with the gifts presented. 

The food was good and we had some lovely family news as well.

All in all a nice good bye to 2024 and positive thoughts for 2025.

I will spend the coming days sorting out old "stuff" and probably throwing away parts I don`t use or need anymore . 

I don`t like the long and dark January - I prepare myself now with loads of crafty things to draw, paint, glue, sew... maybe a nice collage or sashiko or watercolors with Selvtid.dk ... 

We will see what the future brings!

Take care out there!

4.Advent - another card on it's way🙂

 Almost the same scenery;

A watercolor backround, a piece of gelliprint backing and transparency film. 

Hold together with a black seam and small stripes of fabric.

Decorated with posca dots and the main focus is the dog with a little  hat.

Just makes me happy.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

..and here we go - No 4!😊

Here we are - No 4 is on it`s way!

Happy Advent!

Time to enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

A couple of weeks ago Mosaikscrappers had a workshop where we were taught how to make lovely backgrounds using stencils and distress inks.

This is one of the cards I made, decorated with Tim Holtz` lovely snowman.

I wish that next year, I will be able to spend more time in my "home office", getting my fingers inky, feeling the happiness of creativity and getting my blog back to life again.
I will make a "to do"-list for all the things I did n`t find time to do in 2016 and REALLY try to MAKE TIME for these "things" in 2017.

We celebrated Christmas eve with parts of the family , all of us a bit nervous because it would be the first time without Oliver. But all in all I think we did a good job. It was a nice evening and we all felt relaxed together..

I wish you all happy holidays! Don`t forget to enjoy the time you have together with people you love!

THE Christmas card 2013

My one and only design this year - using stamps from waltzing mouse and "hema" together with papers from allison kreft design (webster`s pages). I only made a few and bought the rest - so ONLY VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE get this design ...:-)

I wish you all a nice end of december - we´ll see when I will be able to blog again.

Lots of love! ...and of course - Happy yule!
