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

cuddle-coat in Holland !

Outside

*

inside

it's warm and cosy

*

longing for

SPRING

*

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

*

Together

*

All who joy would win

Must share it

Happiness was born a twin .

Lord Byron

*

All you share with me

brings me joy

*

Let's share and share and share

A LOT

*

a whole new year

ahead of us

*

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

unwrapping

*

You know that feeling

wonderful

wrapping-papers

can give you ...

*

The joy

of making a gift...

to make something

beautiful.

*

to

look forward to

the moment

of giving ......

*

That's what I feel

thinking of

this whole new year

2011

*

unwrapping

wish all of you

HAPPY
