Getting better

Hi Everybody!

Sorry I have been MIA these past few days.  I woke

up on Christmas Eve with a temperature, 

accompanied by a nasty cold, cough and

sore throat, and had to spend some time in bed

trying to recover.  It is slowly getting better,

although my cough is still rather disturbing. 

I sincerely hope

you all planned your days better, and that your

holidays were more fun!

Today I am re-showing an A3 mixed media 

'clear-off the-table' collage made three years back.

I gave it  a work over some weeks back to correct some

things I didn't like. I am linking to

Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin.

The photos were taken on this day I year ago:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy Holidays

Hi Everybody!

Thanks for  all the birthday greetings, digital and

postal which made me happy these past days.

I enjoyed a wonderful day in company of good friends,

and received some great presents from near and

far, which I will show in my TSFT post next week.

Today I am sharing some winter/Christmas art

made in previous years, and often using photos

 taken here, to wish you all happy holidays,

and a peaceful and blessed time with those

you love:

Enjoy the season, and time spent with others.

Take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well.

Just a quick post today,  it's my birthday, so I need to 

finish baking my cakes before my visitors arrive -

🍨 Happy Birthday to Me!🍨

Today I am sharing 2 more quick tags made for Joan's lovely 

theme at Tag Tuesday - Christmas memories. The

first was made from scraps of DCWV paper and a vintage

scrap Santa:

This was made with another scrap of DCWV paper, 

a decorative star and a die cut Xmas tree 

decorated with Stickles:

And some frozen and misty photos from the last

few days:

I'll share my birthday cakes with you in my

next post!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for Snowmen

Hi Everybody!

Today is Elizabeth's

T stands for Tuesday, so here a big

welcome to all the nice ladies of

the T Gang.

My drink is in a huge Snowman mug filled

 with a delicious mix of cappuccino and

hot chocolate - just the thing in this cold weather!

For Tag Tuesday, Joan's lovely 'Christmas memories'

 challenge I made a couple of quick snowman

tags. The first one was made with scraps of

DCWV Christmas cardstock and a die-cut snowman

with Stickles. I grew up in London, and was 7 the
first time I saw snow, so building a snowman
was a big thrill, but my Auntie was very cross because
my shoes got soaked.....

The 2nd one was made with scraps from one of my bit-boxes:

 

 On Saturday we had a nice sunset down by the Rhine:

The Rhine is still very full:

The Nativity in the Basilica is beautiful, as always:

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
