whats up ?


*
being a good teacher
is not only
being present
*
it's so much more
*
working with small children
is wonderful
and inspiring
and you have to be there
the full 100 %
and
more !
*
I'm working on it !
My feet are telling me
not yet
but it 'll come in time
I'm sure of that
*
so now I try to realy enjoy
staying at home
without feeling guilty
not easy , not easy at all !
*
on the other hand
I'm so glad I can stand on my feet again
I can have small walks in the house
I can go the stairs again
*
It's going to be allright
I'm sure
*

what a wonderful surprise







*
I won KORALEE's giveaway
*
today
the postman came at my door
WITH A PACKAGE
ALL
THE
WAY
FROM
THE
U.S.A.
*
I knew the most adorable
Bunny cuddle coat
would realy truly come
all the way over the ocean
to Holland
to me TO ME
*
I couldn't believe it
but today all became reality .
*
First I stared at the box
all the way from the USA !
*
I made me some tea ........
and than carefully I opened the box.
At first there was this
most adorable soft-yellow silky paper
with tinytinytiny orange baby-carrots on it .
and
a beautiful bunny ribbon
and than
the most beautiful little bunny-baby-coat
I have ever seen .
Made off the softest white magical material
and inside soft-sweet-pink-silk
so soft and adorable ....
In one pocket there was
this orange carrot-rattle
sounds tinkeling-sweet
but
oh no
there was more
two little cuddle shoes like little bunnies
with tiny ears and sweet looking faces .
*
I am SO SO happy with all
these wonderfull surprises .
*
THANK YOU SWEET KORALEE
FOR MAKING THIS DREAM COME TRUE
*
THANK YOU SWEET KRISTINA
for sending me all this beauty
*
In may 2011
I am going to be a grandmother
for the very first time
and it's A GIRL
so she will get the most beautifull
cuddle-coat in Holland !
*
what a surprising day it is .
Thank you all

taking care of your marbles

*
I collect
marbles
I love the little balls
and
the fascinating colours.
*
I store them in
stoppered bottles
and from time to time
I wash them
*
Flea markets ! !
the place to look .
*
now you know
(*_*)
We all collect things
one way or the other
there is something
inside that's been touched
seeing it .
*
afterwards it makes us
HAPPY
just looking at it
*
we also collect memories
and they are also storaged
somewhere
*
looking inside
can sometimes
be like taking care
of the marbles
*
just let it be
and enjoy
*
Happy Marbling

inspiring words


*
My daughter brought me
this beautiful bottle .
Simple
and filled with
mineral-water.
*
designed by
a famous dutch designer
PIET BOON
*
I refill and use the bottle
every day now .
*
looking in the bottle
beautiful words can be read !
*
I LOVE THAT
being surprised by
WORDS
on unexpected places .
*
to me it's a kind of MAGIC
*
LETTERS
forming
WORDS
and by reading them
something happens .
*
like ART or MUSIC
can touch you too .
*
I have that
MOST OF ALL
with
WORDS
*

HAGELSLAG

*
I might as well tell you
I am sitting on my couche
for two weeks now
*
cannot stand on my feet
cannot walk
*
my enkles are bigger than big
inflammation .
resting and feet up high
the doctor advised.
*
for two weeks now
and it is just a little bit better
a very small little bit
*
I would not write about it
I love everything seems normal
blogging
but
after two weeks
it's not
*
but
of course
I'm
very happy
with my laptop now
and my tv .....
I am watching the complete series
of BROTHERS AND SISTERS
addicted
*
and also
CHOCOLATE
I love chocolate
*
I haven't any in the house anymore
just HAGELSLAG
so I'm eating it
on my bread now .
*
mmmm
