Happy New Year!

I wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!! Now I'm off to buy some champagne..... See ya next year!!!

Mad me...

I haven't watched more than a random half episode... People tell me on a daily basis to watch the show because I look like I fit right in...
But for now I've Mad Men'ed myself... maybe I'll watch the show someday....

Love Bird

I miss our parakeet... We had her for almost 7 years but in April this year she got sick and died...
She was a big English parakeet -so cute and very social, loved sitting on my shoulder when I was walking around the house or taking a nap on my belly when I watched TV. She was snow white but she had a pink mineral stone she would rub against and thus she turned pink -we girls love a bit of rouge;)

I'm hoping that we can get a new bird sometime soon I miss having an animal and since cats and dogs aren't allowed where we live a parakeet is a very good alternative.

Happy Holidays!!!!

I'm spending Christmas at my parents house and yesterday the weather was amazing so I went for a walk in the forest right next to their house...
It was so beautiful I must have taken a hundred photos -I'll share a few with you...

Today there is a massive snowstorm... Many thousands of people will not be able to travel and spend Christmas with their family and loved ones. I'm hoping my husband will be able join us today and that my husband and I can come back home tomorrow... That's the prize you pay for having a white Christmas I guess...
I wish you all a very merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Betty!!!

Today is Betty Grables birthday... She would have been 94.

Here she is looking like Christmas morning (I know I said the same thing last year -it's now officially a tradition..)

I'll celebrate her by wearing some gold tinsel and doing the shimmy..

I miss you Krispy Kremes

It is impossible to find a decent doughnut in Denmark.. We don't have any doughnut shops or chains, the only place you find doughnuts are at SevenEleven and the bakers and they are nothing like my favorites from Krispy Kremes! I've had Halloween specials and Valentine specials but never any Christmas specials... -Look what I'm missing out on! I'm drooling....

Paper pin up

I made this pin up for my husband for our 1 year anniversary... The traditional first year anniversary gift is paper so I thought this was a special and personal way to do it.

Oh Christmas tree......

Here it is! Our Christmas tree! -It's been up since late November... We bought it in Las Vegas  a little over a year ago and I love it! I wanted to buy a real tree as well since we have the space for it now but a decent size tree costs about $90 so the white plastic will have to do this year...

Cuddly

Well I guess tea alone isn't enough to keep me warm but this photo of Brando with a kitten might do the trick...

Tea, please...

I'm back! We finally got a stable and fast internet connection so I can keep up with all your wonderful blogs and even share a bit with you....
Winter has certainly arrived... We have lots of snow and temperatures below -15 Celcius/5 Fahrenheit at night and -3/25 during the day, add strong winds to that and everything is practically frozen solid.. including me! I was sick all last week and still feel a bit under the weather but I do drink a lot of tea with honey so I should be back on my feet soon.
We bought this darling Bambi teapot on our trip in September..

..and I'm dreaming about this gem I found on the net....

That's all for now... I'll be back soon with photos of our Christmas tree....
