A Postcard A Day - Tuesday 29 March 2016 T for campervan and pebbles

Good Morning folks,

Have you had a good Easter weekend? Yes, we certainly did. We have been away to the coast (South-East Spain) in our campervan.

On the coast it is always 5 or 6 degrees C warmer than here (near Granada, where the altitude is higher). The weather was warm and sunny (see Friday's blog).

This is a photo on the first day, my birthday. I am still wearing my turtle neck jumper. I changed into a T-shirt shortly after that.

I'll be linking up with Elizabeth and Bluebeard at T for Tuesday. Please join us with your blogpost as long as it has something drink related in it. 

In my case I'm showing the bottle of dry white wine that I treated myself to after a few months of abstination (trying to lose some weight, which I did. But now it's back to the diet...). 
The photo above was taken Wednesday which was my birthday. The wine glasses look very impressive but are actually hard plastic. Still, very pretty I think.

Postcard time! This card is actually one of my birthday cards. It is from my cousin Margit. She writes:"This is how I see you and Graham: both in balance! Happy Birthday!"

That's it for this morning! 

Wishing you all Happy T-Day,

Lisca

A Postcard a Day - Wednesday 9 Dec 2015 - WOYWW 340

Good Morning! 

It's Wednesday! Today is desk-hopping day! Come and join us at Julia's blog Stamping Ground and show what you have been working on (or not).

My desk this week is in the 'craft-mobile', aka our campervan (RV). We have traveled to the coast to have some maintenance work done on the vehicle. As we need to be there early, we are spending the night on a nearby camp site and I have been doing some crafting last night. Here is a quick photo before i have to clear the table to have breakfast.

It's not just Christmas cards, I also made a birthday card for my cousin (Dec 27th), and I still have two more Christmas birthday cards to do.

I'm very excited as today I will be meeting up with a blog friend who lives and hour and a half from here, Kate Perry (aka Mamapez). She and her husband are coming to us at the garage (bless them), as we have no transport while our vehicle is being serviced. (Photos next week)

Our new house is coming on nicely. It's horrible having to live in a house that is in the process of being built, but we are making the most of it. The bedroom is now usable (although the wardrobes are not finished yet). We have slept there for the last two night and it is wonderful to sleep in a clean area.

Sorry I left a pair of socks on the bed. 

 The unfinished wardrobe area.

And a tiny en-suite toilet, as yet without a door but that's not a priority.
We have now been able to make the studio a little bit more livable:

 On the left is my desk where i would normally sit at my computer and do craft stuff. Notice the Ikea trolley? We had bought two and the second one (in the same colour) is now in the bedroom as it matches my 'colour scheme'.

Now we don't need to sleep on the sofabed anymore, we can use it as a sofa. Whoahey!

That's it from me. Sorry for the boring house photos, but many people have asked me for an update, so there.

Have a great week all,

Lisca

Friday smiles - 28 August 2015 Kraft doodles and naughty ladies

Hello Friday friends,

I hope you have had a good week. My week has been full of blessings although we have not done anything special. It's been a routine week. Yes, us retired people also have a routine....

Our campervan has passed its ITV or MOT or whatever your country calls its annual roadworthy test. Hurray!

My husband has had dental work done (very successfully) so he is happy. (And the price was less than what we anticipated. That can't be bad)

I have been busy doing scrapbooking. I'm making a book for my grandson's 10th birthday in October. I finished two pages today so I am well chuffed as they say. 

One scrapbook website Kraft Plus challenged us to use doodling or zentangling on our scrapbook page. This is what I made:

I love doodling! No drawing skills needed.

To finish today's blogpost (and hopefully make you smile) I will leave you with a postcard from Finland. It's by designer Inge Look and features two ladies (I call them the naughty ladies) enjoying life to the full. They always make me smile!

They look like they are singing at the top of their voices. I imagine something like: 

"Row, row, row your boat, 

gently down the stream... 

merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, 

life is but a dream!"

That's it for this week,

See you all next Friday! (Or tomorrow on 'A Postcard a Day'.)

Lisca
