Well at least my blog is :)
I will start decorating the house and wrapping the presents this week, as next week I won't have so much time I think.
Here is my Christmas mandala for this year.
The poinsettia watercolor mandala is used for my new Christmas blog look and will also be my giveaway for this year's X-mas. All you have to do is to leave a comment and I will pick a winner next week.
The winner will get the original mandala and I will also trow in a few cards with the poinsettia print.
Snow is melting here and it is very slippery.......
Hope you are enjoying the holidays! I like X-mas, especially all the lights, which brighten up these dark days before Christmas as we call them. But I would rather celebrate it on a tropical island (you know I don't like cold weather and short days)
Stay warm and safe with this kind of weather. And enjoy all that is to come this month!
♥♥♥
Love the new colors on your blog,very festive and another beautiful mandala to boot.
ReplyDeleteMeid je hebt jezelf weer overtroffen,wat een prachtige kleuren....
ReplyDeleteHet was heerlijk op het strand,Beaudor heeft gereld met alle hondjes en was zo verliefd op een Border Collie dat hij zelfs de zee in ging haha.
Voor morgen dan ben jij er toch pas na 3 uur,laat het anders even weten dan ben ik eerder thuis.

This mandala is gorgeous. I noticed it on your header immediately. I hope you get your decorating finished so you can enjoy the rest of the season of lights.
ReplyDeleteLove the new mandala! I hope your are getting some sunny days, even if it is cold outside. :) I have lots of wrapping to do this week, too. I wish us both luck! lol! xox Pam
ReplyDeletelets go to a tropical island together after our mutual Dec 13th experiences. I'm with you about the heat/cold as you know.
ReplyDeleteLovely mandala, so peaceful and soothing to look at. blessings, suki
Oh M, this is gorgeous!!! And I know how much it must sparkle in person. And the blog looks beautiful too! Even Sjimmie is decorated :)

Ooohh...so beautiful!!!!! A gorgeous, seasonal mandala... as much as I adore it, you should give this to someone who does not have one of your amazing pieces!
ReplyDeleteAnd...."Christmas Sjimmie".....he looks like he is about ready to jump up and grab that ribbon and dash around the house! Cats adore all the gift wrappings, don't they!
Stay warm m' dear..... I know you dream of life in warm climes - with white sand beaches and tropical breezes.....
Sending you and ALL the Family,
Love and Hugs,
♥ Robin ♥
It is a beauty Marianne!

ReplyDeleteWe don't get snow here and I miss it terribly, another reason I want to move up north into the mountains where I can see some snow at Christmas time.
Have a wonderful week und Frohe Weihnachten!

What a fantastic Mandala Marianne. I have enjoyed catching up with your blog today. Where does the time go? Love your decorations too. I hate it when I have to take mine down! Also love the 'colour it in' mandala! I will have a go at that. Have a wonderful Christmas my friend.
