Hi there blog friends!!!
\nI have something to say to you…
\nCall me sentimental (oh well, it’s nearly Christmas and all) but I want
\nto tell you how much I love you all! You made me so happy with your
\nsweet words and positive reactions\u00a0on my new website and workshop!<\/p>\n

Also a lot of you are so sweet to follow my “top 2000 project” and even play
\nalong! (I’ve got two layouts from Michelle already… she blew me off my chair –
\nso be\u00a0prepared for some eye candy in the next\u00a0days!)<\/p>\n

And here’s a\u00a0layout for you! Not a music one (that starts tomorrow…)
\nbut something I\u00a0made last weekend.\u00a0Some other posts got in the way
\nso I didn’t show it yet. It is for t.a.a.f.o.m.f.t.<\/a> and the challenge was
\n“what is your favorite car?”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

The background are pages from an old encyclopedia with some spray ink.\r\nThe journaling is with a black sharpie, acrylic paint and a lot of\r\ndoodling with paint and gel pens. The photo shows my own feet (see those\r\nspread toes? They call that \"Indian feet\" and I love it! That name makes\r\nme feel like a free spirit, galloping on my pony through the prairie\r\ndressed in a leather skirt wearing feathers in my hair....!)<\/pre>\n
Journaling:
\n“In general. My bike usually has a flat tire. My car runs out of gas
\nwhen I’m almost there. The bus is always too crowded, too late or both.
\nThe railroad company seems to reschedule the timetable every time
\nI want to travel by train. I rather trust my feet.”<\/span><\/p>\n

And here’s what it looked like in my house this morning!
\nYESSSSS, the top 2000 was published in the paper and I LOVE having this
\nbig list laying on our table, searching through it, discussing it, drinking
\nmy coffee and smoking my first cigarette over it and chosing the song
\nfor my next layout… All the dates and time\u00a0are on this list too, and I like
\nthis\u00a0so much more then the list on Internet!!!
\nStill one day to go before\u00a0the event\u00a0breaks loose…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
What are\u00a0your plans today?
\nI’m gonna get me some last-minute groceries and spend the rest of the day
\nat this big table, wearing a comfy house suit and making something beautiful.\u00a0
\nThere’s room for paper, paint, brushes, glue, embellies, pens, chipboard…
\ncan’t wait to start!!!<\/p>\n
I wish you all a very nice Christmas eve, and see you tomorrow at 12 (noon)
\nkicking of the top 2000!<\/p>\n
Je t’embrasse!<\/p>\n
