Happy New Year

Dear followers, friends and family.
In the spring my husband got ill and he is still not completely healthy. This has drained energy for both of us, and therefore I have chosen not to join the design team at OCC in 2015. It has been exciting to participate even in this short time. The DT consists of a bunch of talented ladies, that I have been very proud to work with. 

Now I want to concentrate on being DT member at SASPC, and I am looking forward to the new year starts ...

I hope that everyone has had some good Christmas holidays and got the innermost wishes fulfilled.









I wish you all a Happy New Year.
Hugs Susan

Christmas Greeting

We finally got some snow on Christmas morning, it was so wonderful to wake up to. Here in Copenhagen it has been the hottest weather for many years, and now we got our wish for snow at Christmas fulfilled.

We share a nice big yard with lots of trees, bushes and lawn.



I have used my brayer on watercolor paper with TH stains, a little leftovers 
and a gift from Retro Kraft Shop. 
The picture is from AlpaStamps and is colored with Prismacolor.



Dear friends and followers
We have kept a great Christmas evening with our daughter and her boyfriend, 
with wonderful food and exchange of gifts.

I hope everyone has had their Christmas wishes fulfilled 
and will get a good creative year in 2015.
Thanks for all your good comments on the blog - 
they have all been very encouraging for me.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hugs
Susan

12 Tags of Christmas Week #12

Inspired by Funkie Junkie Style/Linda Coughlin

First of all I'll say thanks to Linda for the wonderful challenge with 12 weeks of creative fun, it's been good hours to follow the different themes. Linda's tags have been beautiful and amazing, and they have put on a lot of thought about how I spent Christmas as a child and what I do now as an adult. The different Christmas celebrations around the world are beautiful and magical.

It has also been inspiring to see the very fantastic posts that have come on the blog, and it's great to see the diversity, and how we have interpreted Linda's tags.
