Ready for Christmas? / Give Away

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!
♥♥♥

  6. 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 :)

  7. 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!

    And...."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 ♥

    i hope the snow starts to fall again so there won't be a chance to slip for you! maybe someday you can plan a tropical christmas, when i lived in hawaii it was still very festive even if we did have palm trees instead of pines!

  15. Your poinsettia mandala is lovely - just like the look of your Christmas blog...very pretty colors! I would love to get the chance to enter your Giveaway and I am a follower of your blog as well (if it matters.)

    We 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!

  20. 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.
