T stands for coffee and cake

Hi Everybody!

Tomorrow we are beginning a new challenge at 

Tag Tuesday, and our lovely Wendy will be hosting for the

next 2 weeks. Her theme is

*anything goes - include some lime green*

As always, you have 2 weeks to link to us, and

tags of all formats are welcome.

I made a  tag using a Sizzix

gingerbread-man die and some candy-striped DP.

As always, a little bit of sewing was used to hold

the layers together. A friend visited today, and liked

the tag, so now it has a new home:

Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday,

so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies

of the T gang.

This is the nice cake-breakfast we enjoyed at the indoor

ski resort. G had the latte and the apple cake, the 

cappuccino and mixed fruit delight were mine!

The plates are decorated with edelweiss flowers:

Some more photos of the 'alpine village', showing more 

of the restaurants and bars:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

More fun in the snow....

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy! Seems to be cold, wet and windy

outside so it will be a good day to stay home and

have fun in my arty kitchen.

Today I have another view inside my head. This is no. 3, 

and there will be six altogether. I drew the head on an A3 

sheet with my home-made head stencil, and used 

various stencils to fill it in, showing the transition 

from autumn to winter. I am linking to 

country view challenges, use stencils and to
moo mania and more, put a stencil on it:

And now for the promised bathroom pictures from the

ski-sport centre in Neuss. First the view inside the men's

department. And no, I did not go in there myself,

G took the pics for me! The door at the far right is

the kids' WC:

And now for the Ladies:

Specially for kids:

And here some of  the other doors:

I was pleased nobody else was there when I took the photos!

And now some more pics from the 'alpine village' and

the various eateries there:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Lots of snow....

Hi Everybody!

Happy Thanksgiving to all friends in the USA,

enjoy the time with family and friends.

Once again I am inviting you to look inside my head....

I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted, as always by 

Eva and Kristin.

And this hybrid piece is meant for Chris' lovely challenge,

 '101 ways to keep warm' at

Art Journal Journey.

I used elements from Mischief Circus and me.

Yesterday I went on a trip with my buddy G.

We visited an all-year-round ski resort in

the neighbouring town of Neuss. It's inside a huge - 

and I mean huge - building made specially to enclose

the ski-slope and the little mountain resort. 

More than a million people visit yearly.

You can see more here.

This is the entrance hall:

We went into one of the cafes there for some cappuccino

and cake, and enjoyed sitting in the warm,

and looking through the window at the people

outside who were skiing and snowboarding etc:

This little guy was all togged up and ready to go:

It was all a bit surreal, to be suddenly plunged

into an alpine resort on a relatively mild

and sunny autumn day....

More photos to follow, including some fun views

of the bathrooms there....

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
