Christmas Cards

I have the feeling that each day goes by even faster than the one before. There is such a lot to do and I'm so far behind with my Christmas preparations this year. I haven't even started with writing my Christmas cards! Have you?

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Photo of the Day

The last days of freezing and thawing and raining and snowing have left a very rough icy surface on the lake and this leaf is caught just beneath that last layer of ice. Some more leaves are farther below and account for the dark and brownish spots in the photo. Isn't nature just fascinating?

Have a wonderful Monday!

Christmas Colours

I'm not so much the gold person when it comes to jewellery, but for Christmas it's almost a must! This year, I absolutely love the combination of gold, cream and white tones. There are also some purple/silver decorations around that are simply adorable.

What are your favourite colour schemes this year? Just hop over to A Common Thread and share your favourites - we'd love to see and read about it!

This is also my entry for Macro Friday at Blogging From Bolivia - do have a look there, too, the macros are always so amazing!

Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Signs and Messages

Today's prompt for Picture the Holidays was to have an open eye for signs and messages around us.

On my way home from work I took the time to look around, even made a little detour to a bookstore (just to be on the safe side and really find something written there for me...) and strangely enough, there were a lot of messages everywhere.

After yesterday's post - and thank you all for your responses, I'm so relieved not to be alone! - I decided on the above. I think I could do with both at the moment: relaxing and uplifting...!

I wish you an uplifting or relaxing Thursday - whatever is best for you!

Creative Exchange

I know, I'm a bit late for it, but I wanted to participate at Lisa's Creative Exchange. This is a macro shot of a star made of glass, and as you can see I was playing around with Kim Klassen's textures again.

I don't feel so very creative at the moment and it's really difficult for me to focus. Is it just me or are you also having difficulties to get everything done and still have time for your creative projects?

I wish you a creative Wednesday!

Candle Time

It's so cold outside and it has been raining for hours on end! Time for candles - I love to snuggle up on my sofa wrapped in a cosy blanket, enjoying the warm glow of the candles.

I hope you have a good start into the week with something to keep you warm and well!

Unplanned

The two days of absence here were not planned, but sometimes you don't have much choice and can't always do what you'd like to do...

Today, I just pop in to share this heart with you - it's a little "Thank you" for your lovely comments, and also my entry for Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia. Do have a look at all the entries, it's always so amazing!

I'm signing off for the weekend and hope to be back on Monday catching up with all your blogs and comments. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
