Life is so strange . . .

First of all, I need to do an update on "my" spider. If you remember, I used to remove a web on the corner of my kitchen door every morning that kept reapparing the next day and recently the one I found was so broken that I decided to leave it and see what happens.

Well, actually it's really sad, because this morning, after several days the web was still there, looking worse and worse, so what I recon is that in removing the old one, I was doing her a favor as she could build a new one everyday in the same place. That made me really sad (although I really dislike spiders), so I decided to remove it, so tomorrow morning, there probably will be a brand new one.

Today was extremely cold. I managed to take a great photo in the park (I can be so happy with myself sometimes, lol).

I have been very busy working for hubby, cutting some straight lines in plastic tubes (don't ask . . . ) and I thought I do need a break now.

Project 365+1 - Day 31: Wheel
That's the spare wheel of my beloved car that my beloved husband offered me for my 50th birthday, all wrapped in lilac ribbons (must dig the photos out one day).

Another wheel photo, a funny one: That's my craft wheelie bin:

I wanted to go back to my plastic slicing now, but it looks like the internal clock of the dogs is never failing. They both woke up as by magic and it doesn't look I can get away with delaying going to the park, even by 5 minutes !

Take care everybody, xxx

Am I a weirdo ?

Project 365+1 - Day 30: Collection

When I get the word of the day, I love googling it and having a look at all the possible definitions of that word, but something always amazed me : Have you noticed that when you read the definition for a noun, most of the time you will find the corresponding verb in that definition?

For example, COLLECTION: The action or process of collecting someone or something.
So if you don't know what Collect means, you are back to square one. Funny, isn't it?

Anyway, thank you Suzie, that's a nice word.

I am not sure anybody will still talk to me after seeing what I collect, but I hope in your heart of crafters, many of you will understand and even identify !

In case you have difficulties to identify on the photo, these are empty toilet rolls and kitchen rolls.

Now, it's not an Obsessive Compulsive stuff (I already have enough on my plate without that, thank you), no, I collect them because they are extremely useful for horizontal storage of promarkers or any other kind of pen, for making vertical pencil holders, mini books, mini books spines, making little boxes to store some embellishments and more...

The only thing I will agree with, is that I could do with a bit less of them, but as soon as I come across one, I don't have the heart to put it into the bin.

You know, it could be helpful . . .

Take care everybody, xxx

I don't share my favorite kitchen utensil . . .

Project 365+1 - Day 29: Kitchen utensil

Today was also one of these days where I knew exactly what to picture.

I double-cheked just to be sure and according to Google, "utensil" is an implement, tool, or container for practical use and  "Kitchen Utensil" is a utensil used in preparing food.

So I am pleased to introduce you to my favourite kitchen utensil. Something like 174cms long, weight varies a bit but currently around 73 kgs. Extremely helpful and perfect at doing the job, I wouldn't do without him. In fact, he is so good, that there is no way I would share him with anybody.

He even got a name : Dennis

My dear husband is the best cook ever. The only down side is that trying to lose weight in this house is kind of mission impossible . . .

Take care everybody, xxx

Morning Glory

 Project 365+1 - Day 28: Fluffy

Very often, when I get the word of the day, an image immediately pops into my mind and that was the case today. The image that popped in is one of Harrison Ford.

Now, Harrison Ford is the type of guy I would be ready to stand in the rain and eat 1 kg of cucumbers in order to meet, what if you have read my profile, tells you a lot about how much I like him, but that's another story.

He plays in this gorgeous movie called "Morning Glory". I don't tell you the story because you need to watch it if you didn't, but somewhen in the movie, he is asked to make an omelett and in his script is the word "fluffy". He says "I won't say fffffluffy". The television producer asks why and he answers something like "because ffffffluffy is a ridiculous word".

It's an hilarious movie I really recommend.

I got 2 photos to share with you. The 1st one I took in the park this morning. Its a bit disappointing because it was, with the naked eye, much more sparkly and shiny, but anyway, here it is:

It is (I think) animal hairs and because of all the small dewdrops (the white spheres everywhere), it looked very pretty and fluffy like a mohair jumper.

My 2nd photo was taken during a boring task: Washing up, but I thought all this Fairy Liquid bubbles were so light and airy that they also deserved a picture.

Take care everybody, xxx

Emotions, emotions . . .

Project 365+1 - Day 27: Amazing

This morning when I went to the park with the dogs, the sky was blue without a single cloud, what's pretty amazing by itself. I took several pictures that I want to build as a panorama, but I didn't have time to do so yet.

I worked for hubby today and at the same time, I was keeping an eye on the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Djokovic vs Murray (secretly wishing that Djokovic would win, what he did, yeah !). It was a very emotional match for them both and I took these 2 pictures. 

Isn't amazing what kind of emotions sport can bring into human beings?

Take car everybody, xxx

Not such a bad day after all

Project 365+1 - Day 26: Free choice  
Photography something that is important or significant for you RIGHT NOW.

I hated this "word" today. Firstly because my brain can't currently make choices and 'til now it was so easy to follow the word. Secondly, because the only thing that is significant to me right now is how I cope with the emotional consequences of my fall and I didn't really want to "go there", but I thought may be I should.

I don't have a photo of the stairs where I fell down. Before it happened, it didn't come to my mind that it might be relevant. After it happened, I obviously had more serious things in mind.

Because I survived it with minor injuries, I always minimized the gravity of the fall although everybody keeps on telling me that it was a dramatic fall.

So I decided to use the word of today to do some research on Internet and try to come face to face with my stairs. I only could find photos of the outside of the B&B where it happened, but I found a stairs photo (don't know from where) that looks extremely close. It is missing one step (mine had 15), but the small landing on the top, wooden rails, the carpet, the location of the stairs, the door on the left, it is exactly the same.

Considering I fell head first from the very top, yes it does look like a hell of a fall. So may be that what my purpose of today: Realizing.

But I still wanted to take a nice funny photo.

We moved into this house 11 years ago. Since at least 8 years, every morning when I open the kitchen door, there is a web in the top left corner. Everyday I remove it, every next morning it is back. I don't know if it a Family Venture, but I hardly can imagine a spider lives for so long.

The Web looks really untidy, I guess it's because it was so windy. I ended up not removing it today, to see if she will repair it or make a new one tomorrow.

So after being so upset about the word, it turned out positive and I did learn something today about myself.

Take care everybody, xxx

Another gloomy day

Yes, gloomy is the word. Well, I shouldn't complain, we even didn't get wet in the park, this time !

Project 365+1 - Day 25: Motionless

I had several ideas for today's word.

The first that came in mind was to take a photo of a clock. Silly I know, as if there is something we can't stop , it's time, but it was to point out the fact that sometimes, time seems to be frozen. Anyway, I gave up no that one.

Then we went to the park and we passed by my favourite tree, so I took a photo of it, but having seen a documentary on some trees in the Amazon forest, traveling 2 to 3 cms per year, who knows if this guy isn't  traveling as well... so I had to give up on that one too, but it is still a beautiful tree deserving a photo.

Then we walked to the river. Rhea just turned 9 and with hip dysplasia and severe arthritis, I only allow her in the river in summer. She is always running free, but she is very disobedient, so in a situation like this, I need to put her on lead.

I don't think there is any dog or "being" on the planet more stubborn than she is. When she wants to go somewhere and I don't want her to, I stop walking. She then will pull until the lead is close to breaking point and lay down. The rope between us becomes so tense that you could play music on it.

I can call, pull, ask politely, threaten, she doesn't care and she won't move. One way is to physically remove her by lifting her, but with her 30 kgs and my 55 years, that's not going to happen and the little beast knows that. So it is a start of a powerplay on who will give up first and thankfully for me, she always does.

If I try to bribe her with a biscuit, she won't take it, but if I ignore her and start talking out loud about the nice biscuits waiting for us at home, you can see after a while that she can't stand it. Her ears are moving around until she finally gets up and comes to me, eyes the size of a flying saucer "Could you please count me in for a biscuit".

So here is your motionless photo, before the "talking out loud" trick !

Take care everybody, xxx

Indian dance

I woke up to rain this morning and yes, I hated it. I should try to be more tolerant though as we really didn't have a lot of rain this year, but you know me by now:
Even a little bit is already too much . . .

Project 365+1 - Day 24: Motion

Last night, I was on the phone to my parents in France and I was talking to my mum about the project 365+1. She knows I love it and everyday she asks me for the word and what picture I took. I then realized we still had 342 words to go, Wow, that certainly is a lot of words !

Today I am back at taking a picture of my dogs as they are a perfect example of not being able to stay still for a second (may be for a second, when they sleep).

The photo is about their favourite game, I have called it the Indian Dance. If you want to play it yourself (at your own risk), here are the rules: The younger one is on her back, traveling across the living room via some very disorganized paw movements. The older one circles around her and then jumps on her, byting and chewing her paws and her face, with some weird throat noises. Additionally to that, they retract their lips and show their teeth to eachother as if they suddenly would have been transformed into Werewolves. They can do that for half an hour and the whole thing happens at the speed of light.

My conclusion, still, is that you certainly need to be a dog in order to understand and enjoy that . . .

Take care everybody, xxx

Plan B

Today was a better day for me . The sun was even shining (a bit) and it was a kind of a mood booster.

Project 365+1 - Day 23: Hot

My initial idea was to take a photo of my coffee drink. If you look for me, find my coffee cup, I will be behind it. It's not "real one", just instant, but I can't function properly without it.

So I installed my mug on the table in the garden and there was a beautiful mini fog floating on the top of it, following the breeze... It was so beautiful, excepted that after 45 photos or so (thankfully we work digital), I just couldn't capture the spirit of it on film, so I needed a plan B.

This afternoon I passed by Poundland and found this gorgeous Hot pink "too big but couldn't resist the color so will cut down to shape later"  Neoprene pouch for my new Kindle.

So here you are, that's my photo for today.

Take care everybody, xxx

What's good ? What's bad ?

Many years ago, somebody told me a Chinese Fable.

In a small village, an old man has a small farm. One day his horse runs away, making it almost impossible for the old man to take care of his farm.
His neighbour tells him: What a bad thing for you !
The old man answers: What's good, what's bad ?

The next day, his horse comes back, bringing with him 2 wild horses.
His neighbour tells him: What a good thing for you !
The old man answers: What's good, what's bad ?

The next day, the old man's only son falls out of one of wild horses and breaks his leg, so he can't help in the farm anymore.
His neighbour tells him: What a bad thing for you !
The old man answers: What's good, what's bad ?

The next day, there is a war declaration in the next province. The police comes and takes the neighbour's son to serve in the army but doesn't take the old man's son because of his broken leg.
His neighbour tells him: What a good thing for you!
The old man answers: What's good, what's bad ?

It can continue for as long as you want. I love this fable because it reflects that it all depends not on what happens in our life but how we look at it.

Today was a bad day for me, so I try to keep an open mind and look forward to what tomorrow might bring me.

As long as we are in psy stuff, I read something on a T-shirt yesterday, that I really liked:

Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans.

Project 365+1 - Day 22: Glowing

We were doing some tests this afternoon for work and I happened to take a photo of the oscilloscope, what produces a kind of really glowing light.

But my real challenge photo is one of my Glow in the Dark Ducky. It glows in a wonderful yellowish green.
It's just almost impossible to take a picture of it...

 

Take care everybody, xxx

Glad to be wrong . . .

Project 365+1 - Day 21: Fire

When I got the word this morning, it was another dull morning (what a surprise) and I was wondering if we were going to get wet in the park or just get lucky. I thought there was no point in taking my camera but I still did, just in case.

Well I hate being wrong but only very very very occasionally like in this case, I was really glad. Not only we didn't get wet but the sun came out just for us, long enough for me to take a couple of pictures (and see stars for 5 minutes afterwards because I was facing it directly...).

People say you shouldn't take pictures facing the sun, I absolutely disagree as you can sometimes get beautiful effects. Anyway, this is my (ball of) fire for today.

Take care everybody, xx

Easy Peasy

Since a year or so, I work from home with my Husband (or should I say for . . . ). I help him doing various things and they are all very different from what I am used to. I for example learnt how to use a soldering iron, who would have thought ?
Since yesterday, I've been busy working on some stuff that I solder through a magnifying glass. I thought I show you what it looks like.

That will be part of a robot he is making. I like saying my Husband is a little genius !

Project 365+1 - Day 20: Sign

Although I hadn't planned to go anywhere but to the park today, I knew that taking a picture related to this word would be a piece of cake. Many many years ago, when my stepkids were small, may be 7 and 10, I organized a crafting afternoon on a week-end they were with us and the goal was to develop a sign to put on each of our doors: My office/craft room, my husband office and their bedroom. That's what we came up with.

I let you decide who has what on his/her door.

I need to go back to my soldering. Take care everybody, xx

Is it a bad bad bad world ?

I didn't see the movie actually so I haven't got a clue what it is all about but I thought the title was spot on for today's word !

Project 365+1 - Day 19: Bad for me

I guess there are plenty of "bad for me things": Things I eat, things I do, things I think, things people do to me . . . but if I have to chose a single one, I certainly pick the English weather.

Left is what I saw from my window when I got up this morning and right is a print of one of my shoes in the park (kind of 3.5 cms deep . . .).

I was born in the South of France by the sea. I am a sunshine girl and I think this weather is just depressing. One day I met a guy in the park, walking his dog and we were chatting and he told me he moved to Souhampton because the weather was so much better than in Scotland. I couldn't believe it !

Well, it's time for my 2nd "shoe stamping episode" in the park for today and the dogs start complaining, one on each side of me, so I better go.

Take care everybody, xx

Struggle, struggle . . .

Project 365+1 - Day 18: Pleasurable

Pleasurable . . .  In other words: what gives me pleasure ?

Some of you know I had a very bad fall in stairs last August. I physically recovered from my injuries but I ended up kind of messed up emotionally and I have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

So what gives me pleasure? Very easy: Not much if anything, so I have been struggling with that word as soon as I got it. I thought that picturing my husband or my dogs was too obvious and kind of cheating, I am not keen on material stuff or on food ...

I eventually found something that gives me a lot of pleasure, but I had to compromise because ironically, I can't take a picture of it. The one thing that I very much enjoy, day after day, is being part of this project and getting the word each morning is something that I am really looking forward to.

I enjoy looking at what others are doing, reading their comments on my work and making comments on theirs. It keeps me going since it started and this is only possible because of

So thanks to each one of you for making my day, everyday, and take care, xxx

Talking about frost . . .

I struggled so much to take a frost picture a week ago but this morning the park was completely white.

Each step made a craking noise like walking on cookies. It was also terribly cold and we might be entering winter for good, now !

Project 365+1 - Day 17: Naughty

With my 2 dogs, I thought it would be pretty easy to take a naughty picture, as there is always at least one of them up to nonsense (and obviously trying to pull the other one into it). So I took my camera and off we went to the park. Well, they must have had a suspicion because even Rhea, who is too happy rolling over in whatever, decided to behave and we eventually went back home without a naughty picture.

But knowing my 2 monkeys, I thought I am going to trick them. I made a coffee, switched the TV on  and sat down on the sofa . It took them 10 seconds to grab their tug of war toy and try to make as much noise as possible.

That's what we face every evening. None of them wants to let go and they growl and push and pull. They have the time of their life, but they only enjoy their play when we are in the room. As soon as we get up, they stop.

Hopefully we have a nice neighbour who doesn't mind an extra loud TV . . .

Take care everybody, xxx

Catching up . . .

Project 365+1 - Day 16: Snack

Featuring Rhea today. Both our dogs love veggies, but they would do anything for slices of carrots.

OK, I am up to date now, can't wait for tomorrow's word.

Take care everybody, xx

What a week-end !

I don't know what's going on with Blogger, but I had such difficulties with this post !
Well, this week-end big event was my father in law 90th birthday. After hubby came back from his business trip on Friday late night, we were up early on saturday, preparing the food to take with us. It was a bit (a lot) of a rush to cook the food, drop the dogs at our friend (they need so much stuff as of baskets, food, toys...), pick up the kids at their mum's place, but we made it all on time and arrived in Wales right on for lunch.

The week-end went on very well and I think my father in law felt really special. Below are a couple of the pics we took:

                                                  With the birthday card I made for him

                                                            Time to blow the candles

                                                  The oldest and the youngest (90 and 3)

    All of us

It was a great week-end that we will remember for a long time.

As for the 365+1 project, I can't believe I am already 3 words back in posting, but I was pleased to be able to follow and use the week-end event for my pictures.

365+1 project - Day 14: Guilty pleasure

Many people are shopaholic regarding a lot of different topics.
My darling brother in law has a passion for houses and he loves buying houses. I must say I do love that one, only made of wood and glass.

365+1 project - Day 15 : Generous

Definitely generous was the quantity of food we had all prepared for the week-end. We were 12 people, ate for 2 days and everybody still took some of it back home.

I will be back later with the word of today .

Take care everybody, xxx

Friday the 13th ...

Today is Friday the 13th. Many people hate it, I love it.
13 has always been a good number to me. I was born in the 13th county of France so I had a 13 in my number plate for ages.
Let's see if tonight's Euromillions will be good to me...

At 1PM, I had an appointment again with Bubbles to do an ultra sound. She is such a brave girl and so good and obedient that they didn't have to sedate her. They clipped all her tummy though. She looks like ... well ... a bit weird !
They have now finished all preliminary exams and we have to wait for the results next week to know what to do next. Fingers crossed.

Project 365+1 - Day 13: Inside my fridge

I feel really bad about that one, but it's a fact my fridge is more or less empty. For my defence, it's a week in which Hubby is traveling, so excepted loads of yogourts and some cheese, I really don't need much !!!

 Take care everybody, xx

Update on Bubbles

Thank you so much for all your good wishes. Well, I got my sweetie back for now and yes, I am so happy. They did a lot of blood tests, liver function study, Xrays...  We won't have the results before next week though.


She posed for the photo but after today's emotions, she is now sleeping like a log and snoring like an elephant. If she could talk, she certainly would say "There is no place like Home !"

What she doesn't suspect is that we need to go back tomorrow again, as the ultrasound specialist was unexpectedly off today (he just became a father), but we only should be there for 1 hour.


   
    They already shaved a good top of her paws,
    tomorrow it will be her tummy. Hopefully
    dogs are not as sensitive as we are, about
    what their external appearance !!!




Take care everybody, xx

Unsettled day

This morning I had to get up early to bring one of my sweet girls (Bubbles) to a specialist Vet as she has been doing poorly with her stomach for quite a while now. They planned some blood tests, ultrasound... so I had to leave her there.
She wasn't too happy, I wasn't too much either, but at least, I know she won't need spending the night this time and I can pick her up at 4.
Then depending on the results, we will decide what's next.

Project 365+1 - Day 12: Transluscent

This is the window of my craft room, seen through a piece of pink bubble wrap.
I probably could have done much better, but I am a bit upset when both dogs are not around, so it will have to do for now.

Take care everybody, xx

How more humiliating can it be ...

This morning at 9, I called the insurance to make sure they hadn't forgotten me. They hadn't but they said the boiler guy would come between 9 and 6. That's a long time to wait. They didn't want to tell exactly when he would show up. but they finally agreed that it would be safe enough to take the dogs out right now.  So I did.

Came back, did a couple of things in the house, it's a gorgeous day again so the temperature in the house was acceptable.
10 minutes ago, the boiler guy was at the door. Great! He had a look at the boiler, he switched the heating on and off (what I had already tried several times by myself) . . .
. . . and . . . 
. . .  say it out loud with me . . .
. . . The heating started !!!
 
I should be happy but I have just been fuming since he left, although he assured me that this exact same thing happens very often and I really didn't waste his time.

Well, may be, but I still froze for nothing...  ARRRGGGHHH !!!!!!!!!

Change of topic

As of Project 365+1, I am going to share 2 pictures again, this time for a very different reason.
As I said before, I find this project very therapeutic so when I get the word, I normally stick to the first idea that pops into my mind. I did that today, but I also took another picture of something pretty special, that I thought I would share with you.

Project 365+1 - Day 11: piece of clothing (version a)

When I was a little girl, I had a doll called Skippy. I can't remember if it was before or after the Barbie things, but I think they were related and most of you must be old enough able to remember !
My parents moved recently and my mum made a box of many of my toys. Last time we visited, I found so many treasures in that box. There were a lot of doll clothes but I was delighted to find this jumper and this skirt as they were my very favourites, so I brought them back to England with me !


 Project 365+1 - Day 11: piece of clothing (version b) 

My Father In Law turned 90 today. We don't have anybody else in the family who reached 90 (my parents are only 87 and 88), so it's a big thing and the whole family will come together this week-end to celebrate.
My husband had the idea of making a T-Shirt for the youngest member of the family, our great nephew who is 2. The T-shirt arrived this morning and it is so cute that I thought it also deserves a photo !


Take care everybody, xx

Not such good news...

Well, after my last post I called the insurance, they contacted whomever and whomever then contacted me but they said they were fully booked for today, so they would only come tomorrow.

It was OK during the day, but now that the sun is gone, it's pretty cold in the house and I am dressed like for outside (OK, may be not with the hat constantly).

When I am not in my craft room (what starts being tough anyway because my fingers are too cold), I sit on the sofa with one dog on each side and they are better than hot water bottles.

Man, am I happy I don't have 2 chihuahuas...

Take care everybody... and keep warm, xx

Choices, choices...

When I read today's word "Metallic", 2 potential photo subjects immediately popped into my mind and I thought : Great, I have a choice !

I took my 2 pictures but I don't manage to only chose one so I am going to share both. The reason why I can't decide is that they are so different and at the same time so complementary, like the beauty and the beast.

Project 366+1 -  Day 10: Metallic (interpretation a)

These metallic structures have invaded our surroundings and there are so many that we even manage to almost forget they are there. I know it would be hard for any of us to be on Internet only with candle power, but couldn't somebody come up with a less ugly solution ?

Project 366+1 -  Day 10: Metallic (interpretation b)

That's closer to my definition of the Beauty. I love my Viva Decor metallic paints, they are shimmery irridiscent, just yummy !

By the way, if the water tap leak wasn't enough, I realized when I got up this morning that there was no heating and therefore no hot water (and of course hubby is on a business trip), so now I am waiting for somebody to show up and repair my boiler.

Luckily there is a lot of sunshine today and the temperature is really pleasant.

Take care everybody, xx

Lucky shot

As soon as I read the word of today, it became sooo clear in my mind what picture I would try to take. We have a running tap since before Christmas and it is so annoying (in other words, it drives me nuts). Hubby tried to repair but without much success.

I thought it would be very difficult to take such a picture, as my camera isn't so brilliant but I had luck's begineers and got a very good (I think) first shot.

365+1 - Day 9: Water

Now, after having spent 5 minutes in front of it, I seriously need to find a plumber, before I start attacking the  $%~@#'" thing with a hammer, lol.

Take care everybody, xx

When will it be cold ???

Today is a gorgeous day, who would believe we are in winter ?

My mum taught me how to knit when I was a little girl and I still love it, specially knitting cable. At a time, I was knitting jumpers at such a speed that I hardly could put all of them in any normal cupboard.

I am a bit more reasonnable now, but I still have more than I can wear.

Coming from South of France, I am a sunshine girl, but if there is something I really like in winter (normal winter..), it is wearing my woolen jumpers (what of course hasn't happened yet...).

They are soft and comfy and their bright colors just cheer me up. Cosy is certainly the right word to describe them.


Project 365+1 - Day 8: Cosy

Take care everybody, xx

20 minutes later...

Well, the word of today certainly provided an interesting and entertaining experience.

We don't drink very often and I didn't think the photo of a glass of water would be very exciting, so... I decided to take a picture of the dogs.

Not as easy as it looks, because as usual, as soon as they saw me with a camera in hand, they started doing the opposite of what I asked. Little beasts...

Anyway, it took me 20 minuts, including many "pleeaaase" and some bribing (very effective) but I eventually got the younger one to drink some water.


365+1 - Day 7: Drink

Life can be so tough... lol !

Can't wait for tomorrow's word...

Take care everybody, xx

Photo of today

365+1 - Day 6 : Frost

This was a tough one as today was a beautiful sunny day.

As soon as I got the word, I rushed out to the drive (in my PJs) to take a picture of my windscreen, but it wasn't looking good.

When I went to the park with the dogs, I had more or less given up, but luckily for me, one half of the park was still in the shade and there were beautiful frosty leaves everywhere.

Take care everybody, xx

Never would have guessed...

Well, believe it or not, I always thought I never ever would find myself in the shoes of a blogger. Looks like I was wrong...

As I haven't got a precise clue how I want to do it, I will concentrate for the time being on Project 365+1, you know, it's this Photo project: You take 1 picture each day of the year (based or not on the "Project word of the day"). It's been a lot of fun so far and I find it pretty therapeutic.
So here are my pictures so far.

365+1 - Day 5: Excitement

I went to the park with the dogs and Bubbles was bouncing around, as usual. She even doesn't look like a Golden Retriever anymore, may be a Butterfly?


365+1 - Day 4: Pretty

I have a passion for my Cricut machine (that my dear husband offered me a couple of years ago). A friend sent me this hand warmer for Xmas and I find it the most beautiful thing ever !


365+1 - Day 3: Ugly

The weather has been terrible recently with buckets of rain and tempest.When I got the word "Ugly", I knew exactly what my picture would be about.


365+1 - Day 2: New

One of my Xmas gifts from the kids: New sleepers !


365+1 - Day 1: Celebrate

I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would get an I-Phone for Xmas. A week or so later, I am still celebrating !

Well that's enough for a first post. Will be back later to upload my photo for today.

Take care everybody. xx
