THANKS, dear readers, for all the wonderful comments on my last post.
\nI was a little bit insecure about that post at first – it’s scary to put
\nemotional “highlights” of your life online and although my talking about
\nmusic doesn’t seem too personal, it sure was to me!
\nBut you all felt that right away – I think I’m right when I state that we all
\nhave a “personal soundtrack of our life” and you all felt the importance
\nof it when I shared mine…<\/p>\n

So thanks friends for the kind words and nice compliments on my writing!
\n(“You should do something with your writing” some of you commented…
\nI’m working on it ladies, I’m working on it!)<\/p>\n

For now, I have two things to share.
\nDon’t want to let these stay on hold any longer…<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

so here it is… my weekly page from my week-art-journal from last week<\/p>\n

Week 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Can you tell it was a happy, shiny week?
\nI bet you can!<\/p>\n

I used acrylic paint in bright colours, my copic markers for the doodling,
\nthe “mermaid” (which is quite a frightning lady when you look at her more
\nclosely) is actually a “tattoo-sticker” that is meant to stick on your skin.
\nIt works on paper, but she lost a breast along the way…
\nThe photo of me was taken for another challenge a few years back (me as
\n“superwoman”) and it was fun to use it again!<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

Danielle told me that she got her card and envelope that I made for her,
\nso today I can show it to you!<\/p>\n

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

It’s almost a miracle that it got to America at last!
\nI think American mail men are somehow smarter then here in the Netherlands!
\nI mailed this envelope off and it came right back to me the other day –
\nour Dutch mailmen somehow hadn’t figured out that I was the SENDER
\nnot the receiver!
\nBUT… luckily… they hadn’t put any stamps on the envelope – so the stamps
\nweren’t ruined! I made my own address at the back less visible, wrote
\nan extra “sender” with my address, mailed it again, said a little prayer and
\nhoped for the best… and YEEHAAAA.. Danielle got it this week!<\/p>\n

I used all kinds of paper scraps, images from magazines, spray ink and
\nmarkers to make this. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun and Danielle –
\nyou sure deserve this girl! Love ya!<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

And that’s all for today.
\nI’m working on my skinny skinny right now.
\nI already received skinnies from “participants” and if you want to join
\nin on the fun, you still can e-mail me your “skinny skinny” or send a link
\nwhere I can find it. (Read more about my little challenge at the end of
\nthis post<\/a>) I will publish all the skinnies on Friday afternoon (Dutch time)
\nso you still have time to play along!<\/p>\n

Let’s put the deadline on Friday 9 am<\/strong> Standard Central Time (CST<\/strong>)
\nthat’s 4 pm for us Dutchies<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

After that, I’ll publish it on my blog so see you on Friday!<\/p>\n

Je t’embrasse.<\/p>\n
