and the winner is :

Hellooooooooo
First of all, my apologies for the little delay in drawing for this give away...I had a Birthday to celebrate of course and a couple of days with splitting headaches after....(not related but a big pain !) It's getting better now, so to pick the winner of my Loving Post Give away, I asked my daughter to help me a bit. I wrote the names on the back of assorted red and pink hearts and folded them in half, put them in a cute circle and asked my daughter to pick one and reveal the name underneath, and the winner is..............(drumroll)

Mary C. Nasser

♥ My Loving Mode ♥

 

So......let's talk about love !

 Everywhere you look at the moment there are ♥ hearts and cards and red and pink and loving things.

♥

We're getting into the ♥ Loving ♥ Mode of the year: 

♥ Valentine's Day ♥

When I grew up in Holland they did not celebrate it much, of course now they do, sell more red roses, chocolates and many other 'loving' ♥ things. Strange, in my opinion we should show our love ALL YEAR long, not just on one day of the year where all prices for all things red and hearts and lovely get hugely inflated, just because..

♥ 
so I have decided that this Valentine's Day I will have a Give away......YAY !!
I won't say yet what you'll be able to win, that is going to be a SURPRISE......but if you want to be in to win, leave me a comment, post on your Facebook for an extra chance, Twitter or Blog for another, you get my drift. Just let me know here in the comments where you have spread DA LUV ! ♥♥♥♥♥

 ♥ Funny day (happens to my Birthday too) ♥

♥ LOVE ♥

Here are some ATCs I made for a swap at Borealis Shine

The theme is "Love"

and a little outside of my usual colour-scheme,

I made them pretty pink

hehe, who would have thought ?

Now that I have my big easel, I am excited to tell you that

YES - I have put the first lines on my BIG wooden panel

This year I want to try out:

* Larger sized works

* Colours I normally would not pick

* Different styles

* Other/more mediums

and I am also working on a book

So that should keep me occupied huh ?
