I am back from LA, where I recovered from a cold.
Just in time before my holiday started, when I returned Saturday.
Tuesday I had one of the first flights from Schiphol bringing stranded passengers home after after the volcano eruption.
This week I will be busy preparing for my holiday next week to Egypt.
In between I will try catching up with all my blogfriends. Why is it my life seems all about catching up......?
At last spring has really driven winter away here and in the days I was gone the trees got leaves ☺
Today I made this CC mandala (10 x 15 cm)
Happy Cactus Monday to all of you!
And to our Chief: have a good and safe trip!
Love the Mandala. So "Christmasy". I know that is not a word, but it seemed to fit. Your work is always a joy to behold. Have fun on your trip.
ReplyDeleteyou angel bringing all those people back home. have a wonderfully wonderful holiday in egypt. what about the boy's school, do they miss a week?
ReplyDeletehugs and hcm and wfs
So glad you are home safe and recovering from your cold....aren't they the worst?
ReplyDeleteEgypt - how lovely! My ex visited there and really liked it...and now that I have spent 10 months in the "company" of King Tut at the de Young, my interest in Egyptian Culture and History has peaked.....
I ADORE this Christmas Cactus Mandala.... just like the real thing! (One of my favourites...)
Enjoy your Springtime weather!
Love,

This is a sweet mandala Marianne. Going to Egypt. That sounds so exotic. You are so lucky to be able to travel like this. I will be there with you in spirit. Have fun. Don't worry we will be here when you return and catch up.
ReplyDeleteYou are SUCH a busy woman! I don't know how you find time to make art, but you always do and it is always so lovely to look at. Very pretty, Marianne. Your paintings are always so soft and delicate.
ReplyDeleteEgypt - I am jealous for sure! have some fun. I wondered if you had been stranded by the volcano - but sounds like it has all worked out
ReplyDeletemarianne, i think about hearing you talk about your travels, your impressions of countries and how people are the same and different. it is a wish i have and i think it will come true!
