Keep on smilin’

Yeh, right…
do I finally have some free time, and then I catch a cold…


I choose to ignore it
and I still play with my
pens and art journals,
but that’s kinda hard to do
when there’s something
dripping from your nose
on to your art journal page…
ugh!

It’s the right time of the year
to catch a cold though…
I feel sooo related to Rudolph
and I sing along with the song…

‘Budolb the bed bose bendeew”

Reasons to smile #4

Today, I have a very good reason to smile… along with someone else…

Congratulations on your 70st birthday mom!!!!!!

Yep, you read it well. My mom is turning 70 years young today!
Go send her some love on her website!

(for non Dutchies: Click the button ‘Johanna’ in the top menu – find
‘Gastenboek’ (guestbook) in the menu – fill in the captcha numbers
to get in the guestbook and leave a message!)

Ofcourse I made her something.
Or better: two things, but I only show you the card.
She (and you) will have to wait some more for her present.

(Mam, als de post nog niet geweest is, wil je misschien nog even wachten
en niet meteen doorklikken?)

Aaarrrggghhh!!!
Freewheelin’ Friday (#47)

6.50 am. Trrrr Trrr… huh? Oh, that’s the alarm clock.

6.55 am. I put on the computer. I give it time to start while I climb
the stairs to my son’s bedroom.

7.00 am. Son. SON. SOOOHOOOON! Wake up, you have to get out of bed!

7.05 am. Two stairs down. I scan the headlines of the newspaper while
I wait ’till the coffee is ready.

7. 10 am. Son, SON, SOOOHOOOON! You have to get up NOW!
I won’t call you again, so you are warned!

7.15 am. I’m at the computer. I take my first sip of coffee and light
the first cigarette of the day (many will follow)

Whimsical week

When I look back on last week I can hardly believe this all happened in just
a few days… I took a photo of my weekly art journal page just now and it
contains photos that I feel were taken a Month ago. Was it really just last week
that I met Thinkie? Some weeks just simmer and then there comes a week
in which so many things happen. Good things this time! The week flew by!

Pfew!
(Freewheelin’ Friday #40)

I’m almost done with the writing for this month. Pfew!
Ha. Not for long. I will have some extra spare time for a while
and then it will start all over… and I will again be writing articles
for the next issue of the magazine.
And so on, and so further.

But I’m doing well.
I’m totally used to the writing now and I found a rhythm and balance
that works well for me. Wanna see how “my work” looks like?

A special meeting

Hello my FEMALE friends!

Yes, I’m almost sure you are all female… do you think men
would write a post like this one, about hair and hairdressers?
And do you think other men would  comment on that with their
own experiences as much as you all did? Ha, I don’t think so!

So goodmorning, my straight and curly haired female friends,
I’m glad you stopped by again! (And if you happen to be a male visitor,
you’re very welcome too! No talking about hair today, so come on in!)

What DO I talk about then?
Well, for instance, the meeting I had yesterday.
