Bokeh lights and reindeers. Wasn't going to post this, but running out of ideas this evening. Besides hubby is home and needs my tender loving care after his stint away. It is good to have him back home :)
Happy week to you all dear friends.
These beautiful angels were my Christmas present from my daughters this year. They thought I ought to have them early to light my candles each evening. They are so beautiful.
Happy 4th Advent my friends.

Ah ha....here are all the red berries! This was hanging outside only for a day or so. And see if you can find my special visitor :) Viewing large may help you.
Have a super day. I will.
Not group invites please.
Love to all our friends. We hope you all have a safe and merry time. We shall see some of you on Boxing day and to those we shan't see we are sure we will see you again in the New Year!
All the best to you all, love from Sshhhh..., Mars Lander and of course Barbera :)
My faded desaturated scrapbooking background was used with this Christmas decoration gift.
Each year, everyone in the family receives one new decoration from me. In hope, that this brings them joy and memories of our time together. I know how fondly I remember my friends and loved ones when I unwrap their decorations given to me each year. Those memories never fade.

......Anneliese is here today, would you believe it, she just broke this. But I can mend it. It is only putting the crystal back inside. I thought she was awfully quiet. AND we all know what quiet means!!

クリスマスが近づいてくると、オフィスに僕あての荷物が毎日届きます。
ぼくはそれをデスクの横にどんどん積んで、クリスマスイブにタクシーを呼んで全部持って帰ります。
家族が多いと、クリスマスギフトを隠しておくのが大変です。

Aunque cada año hacemos una foto familiar como felicitación, este año no será posible hacerla hasta el día 25. Mientras tanto os dejo este dibujo con una escena navideña, pintada a la acuarela y perfilada en tinta sobre papel de acuarela de 20x20cm. y 280gr.
31 days to go....This year we drew one adults name out of the hat. We decided the present must be created by us and we only give one present to an adult in the family. Then we only buy a small gift for all the little kidlets. After all, it is their magical time of the year. This has really taken the worry out of Christmas for us. Now we can actually relax and simply enjoy ourselves, with good family company and good food. What else could you wish for?
I was fortunate enough to draw out my son-in-law. As I had done the photo shoot of Nicholas, his first son (born this August) it was an easy present. I had these three photographs individually printed onto a good sized canvasses. These 3 will go on the nursery wall. They should look splendid, and I know it will be a well received gift filled with much love.
Have a lovely week ahead of you. Much better viewed large.

Sorry I was off line for over 12hours with thunderstorms. Hooray, we had 14mm of rain at least.
