Hi you all! Hope you are all well, and that those in the USA did not eat too much turkey, or spend all their money buying bargains on Black Friday!
I made some card with a musical theme, using papers from DCWV and Graphics 45, so I am linking to the Out of a Hat Challenge, where the ladies want to see something to do with music this week.

Today it was cold, windy, grey and wet, but yesterday was pleasant and sunny, and I managed to go for a walk through our little town and down to the Rhine. I felt like I'd run a marathon by the time I got back, but it was good to get out again. I am beginning to feel a bit stronger and that is a good feeling!

And this is the little stream next to where I live. You can see that some trees still have leaves!
