december already ...

I really don't know where November went ...

and we're already in week two of December !

Time flies !

Last week we celebrated

the Sint Nicolaas feast

with daughter and grandchildren.

It was the first time for the youngest one.

In the morning we went to the school 

where big brother and his class mates 

waited for the arrival of Sint Nicolaas.

Of course the best part was unpacking the presents

later that afternoon !

The last, and biggest present of all :

a huge succes !

It was fun to visit my (big) brother again yesterday.

They had sold their house this summer and moved to an appartment.

Then they were away, we were all busy,

but yesterday we went there.

It was fun to see the painting I made for him years ago

still had a lovely place on the wall.

A piece of our garden for a special birthday

(70 x 50 cm)

I already told you that I was very unlucky with one of the 

Pink Ribbon postal consignments 

.......

but finally the second envelope with mandala's

(after the first one sadly had gone missing)

arrived safely at my friend Birgit's house.

Today arrived a very special "thank you"

;-)

A lovely rainbow of (natural) hand dyed wool

and a special lovely fragrant piece of soap !

(another blogland-friendship born)

Thanks Birgit !
