Oioioi, hier wurde es wieder lange still – aber da kamen zwei Dinge zusammen: zum 3.8. musste ich wieder auf der Arbeit erscheinen und mein Vater war wegen einer Herzsache im Krankenhaus und ist jetzt in der Reha – soweit alles gut. Aber ich freue mich, noch bei der morgen endenden Challenge der Jingle Belles dabei zu sein, bei der man sich von diesem Foto inspirieren lassen sollte:
Oh dear, it’s been silent here for too long – but two things coincided: I had to go back to work August 3 and my Dad was hospitalized with a heart problem and has started rehab yesterday – but all is good up to now. I’m happy to participate at the current challenge over at the Jingle Belles that ends tomorrow. It asks to be inspired by the following phto:
Meine erste Reaktion war sowas wie „Ach Herrje…“ – was soll man damit anfangen? Aber dann wurde doch noch was draus und die eher ausgefallene Farbkombination (zugegebenermaßen etwas abgeschwächt) kam zum Einsatz:
„Eeek!!!“ was my reaction to this – what should I go for with this? But then things did fall into place and I went for the color combo (though admittedly, the turquoise (?) is softened a bit):
Und dann gab es auch noch Happy Mail – die schon vor über einer Woche ankam und den perfekten Tag traf, um ein bisschen Abwechslung zu bringen. Meine kreative Internetbekanntschaft Ros hat mich mit einer wunderbaren Karte, Bastelmaterialien und einer Tasche überrascht – vielen Dank!!
And then there was happy mail, too! It got here more than a week ago already and chose the perfect day to bring some sunshine. My creative friend Ros surprised me with one of her exquisite cards, additions to my craft supplies and a bag – thanks so much!!
Wünsche euch eine schöne Restwoche und auf bald!
Enjoy the rest of the week and see you soon!
