and my new bought Cathrine More , Characterconstructions.com   stamp,

isen`t she lovely !!! The link takes you to That`s Crafty , having a lot of her beautiful 

stamps in their shop . 

This sweet heart was a gift to me from dear Donna , ( inkyandquirky ) thank you

so much , for cutting out this stamp, for me, and for all the other you gifted me too ,

with the  wonderful card ,lovely friend . 

I stamped :Angels are near ,- from the Catherine More set, too.

If you click the photos you will see the glittering golden paper,

behind the dye cut wreath pattern, and that shiny beautiful paper,

was part of my Christmas gift from another very dear friend, Terri.

Thank you so much Terri, for everything .

The last gift came from Karen http://roosterheaddesigns.blogspot.com/

She dearly send me some little bags of Prills , the tiny round white beads,

and I fell in love with them, at once, and had to order more for me ,lol.

I was lucky to find a UK shop selling them .

warm feeling in me, thinking of  my friends .

WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dear friends, I want to thank you all, for your kind friendships through

the year, very soon , gone. It is always a joy to see you here, and to 

read your comments , and you are all treasured in my life !!

This is from Christmas Eve, with all the candles lit , all over.

And here we were on a beautiful tour , on the island, climping 

up to 70 meter over the water , it was a very lovely and happy day !!

My darling grandchild with me, on Christmas Eve , with the tree

behind us, still not with the candles lit .

And with this frosty,-  in Danish called :Student Carnation ,

because of the tiny size it has, - I will welcome January , and

wish you all Happy New Year , and all the best of health and 

and love, for the coming 2019 .

Many hugs and much love to you all,

Dorthe 

A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL !!

My dear friends , with this creation I wish you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas .

Being a member of   https://mixedupcreative.com/ I got very inspiret of a creation made

by Lena Holmström , and by her tutorial shoving ,how she carve into a book , in this shabby way,-

and I made my own version in this old Danish book. 

Maria and the child greeted by lovely deer in the wood , behind the deer is a piece of

the Nativity of Jesus ,in French , and a branch - and pieces of lace,  flowers and berries on the side of Maria and Jesus  , 

My dear daughter , the grandkids and her x-husband will all celebrate

Christmas here with us, and them arriving today, I think it is time to wish

you all the most beautiful Christmas , as time will not be spend much 

online while they are with us . 

Much love and hugs to you and see you

before the New Year is celebrated

around , as usual .

I wish you all a lovely and cozy week !!

This is my windowsill now filled with Christmas, from many

friends, some things bought and other are gifts, but they are all loved,

and being enjoyed every year !!

And my Advents wreath , with first candle lit last Sunday .

Yesterday my husband and I visited a beautiful part of  the island,

to see the glory of nature, while still leaves on the trees.

We also walked the beach and found a lovely handful of stones with

holes in, made by the Baltic Sea through years and years .... they 

were brought home , and will be hung on a string, later.

Here the sea, - it was very windy  yesterday, and lots

of whitecaps on the seat , cold but beautiful.

I hope you all had a lovely Sunday, and wishes you all the best for the coming week .

Hugs and love

Dorthe
