Stars and some creatures of the deeps

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a tag meant for Simon Monday Challenge
Star light star bright. The background is some icy,
silver card I found in my stash. I tore small pieces of 
blue, painted paper and doilies any layered them
to make the foreground. I sewed it all together.
The trees were made with a hero arts die and the deer
with a Martha Stewart punch. The metallic stars
are from my stash.


I used star-dust stickles to add some sparkle:




And now for the last photos from the Aquazoo:


I loved watching these creatures of the deep:



The lobster has a beautiful colour:


 The octopus was really cool:









I was standing looking into this aquarium, and couldn't see 
anything. Then the crocodile swam over and started
looking at me - I'm very glad there was glass between us:



More beautiful fossils:




Have a great day take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by

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!
