Today seven years ago, on his ánd my parents wedding anniversary,
my only brother emigrated with his family to Canada.
I had not seen him since until…

I’m hooked…

I bought this olive green
paint last week and since
then all my pages come
out green!

I used to be a yellow -
orange – red kinda person!

I don’t know what
happened but all of
a sudden I love this
colour so much.

Why analyse anyway…
I let go and make green pages!

A lot!
You are warned!

The clock on my side menu is still counting down the hours, minutes,
seconds…

…to what?
Yes, my birthday. I told you that in my last post.
Also to something ‘big’, I told you that too, but I ain’t going to
spoil the fun now by telling you more then that.
Not yet my friends, not yet.

Let me tell you this though: the news will not only be exciting for all crafters -
it will also be interesting to photographers & haiku writers out there!

Is that a hint?
Hardly, but I won’t give you more.
Just wait and see on Sunday!

..

There’s no sense in breaking your head over it now any further,
so let me divert your mind of ‘the secret’ and show you what I got today.

Summer in the Netherlands.
Grey skies and 63 degrees outside.
Sweatshirt and thick socks.
Endless reruns on television.

I go with the flow so today I show you my own ‘rerun’
of a little book I made for my mum in 2008
(yes, I’ve been writing haiku’s for years…)

Some of you did not expect this from me, but every Summer I’m under
the spell of the ‘Tour de France’.
For you who don’t know what this is: The Tour de France is a bicycle race
that is made up of 21 stages and covers a total distance of 3,430.5 kilometres.
For three long weeks, I spend half of the the afternoon in front of the TV.
The first days the route leads over flat terrain which isn’t very spectacular
to watch… normally.

However, this years’ tour is thrilling and spectacular right from the beginning!
The riders seem to be nervous, and there were a lot of accidents and battles
going on in the riders platoon…

[Are you getting tired of me talking about bicycles yet?
Hang in there crafters... there's something creative in this post too!
It's even a video, to make up for my 'sports-talk']

I took off with a Monday-post… today I’m halfway up
and by Friday, I will be flying high…. yeeehaaa!!!

Hello, good morning my friends!
Yet another post.
Lots of photos.
Let’s cut the rambling (there’s enough journaling with the photos)
and get going, shall we?!

(Oh, and you can click on each photo to enlarge, for a better view)
