Ha… ME, talking CHRISTMAS… in September – who’d ever thought that?
\nWell, better be early with the announcements because December is going to
\nbe an extraordinary month…<\/p>\n

of course there will be my Top 2000 blogparty<\/strong><\/a> starting on Christmasday
\n(for the ones who don’t know what that is, click the link. I will probably annoy
\nyou a LOT talking about it in the upcoming months so I won’t start now… \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

There is, however yet another blog-event going to happen in December.
\nIn the Scandinavian countries,\u00a0 everyone is looking forward to Christmas
\nwaaaaaayyy before it is December.\u00a0Riikka from Paperiliitin<\/a> proves it – ’cause
\nshe choose today to announce her ‘Creative Christmas Calendar’ blog event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was asked to take part as a guest-blogger and I have something really
\ninspiring cooking for you all! Click on the image<\/strong> to go to Riikka’s blog
\nto find out more about this event!<\/p>\n

As much as I look forward to December… it’s not there yet and in the
\nmeantime there’s a special ‘event’ waiting for me in the next few days.
\nOh yes. Very, VERY special!!! I’ll tell you more about it later (’cause
\nI’m sure there will be photos to show!)<\/p>\n

Talking about weeks… last week was kinda ‘normal’.
\n(Hmm, normal, what’s that?)
\nFEATURING magazine<\/a> went to the printers office and it took me
\na few days to wind off – days on which I freewheeled a bit, created a bit,
\ndid a bit of housekeeping (not too much!) and relaxed.
\nHere’s the spread (click to enlarge)<\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Marit 2012 – Week 37<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Size: 24,5 x 49 cm \u2013 9.65 x 14.86 inch)<\/pre>\n
My online workshops Let it Loose and A Creative Art Journey (see
\nbuttons in the sidebar) started this week and the ‘classroom’ is buzzing
\nwith excitement… a lot of enthusiastic ladies – no gentlemen this time –
\nwere itching to start and jumped with loud cheers onto the first lesson \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Wanna join the fun?
\nRegistration is possible until September 30.
\nClick here<\/a> for all the information.<\/p>\n
… and that’s all for today guys – see you soon!<\/p>\n
