Op mijn vorige blog (spaces.live.com) deed ik dat vaak in de vorm van "Wittegulliedatjes" en dan oewe*oerde ik 'n eind weg over hetgeen wat me hier thuis zoal bezig hield.
Dus vandaag (als 'tussedeurke') wil ik gewoon weer 'ns één nieuwtje delen.

Yep ! De kogel is door de kerk. Ik ga (samen meej onze Mitch) een EIGEN website bouwe. Ne droom die ik al héél lang heb en EINDELIJK uit komt. Het zal me nog wel een gefrot en gesakker worre en goei werk zal ook zunne tijd wel vergen, mer ik ben me zoooo freet !

For a while I considered making this blog in Dutch. ( I can express myself better in my own language hè ) But because so many English speaking visitors are reading my blogs, I decided to give it a try.
Some of you know that I've being a member of "Digital Whisper" . A insprirational network created by Kimmie.
Not so long ago I signed in but until yesterday I had so little time to participate. I had already read that the monthly challenge was 'Father' but creating something about that subject....was for my very emotional.
I DON'T want to be sad because he past away many many years ago...( and it happens to everyone that parents die. I'ts the circle of life)
But it can not be coincidental that tomorrow (without knowing, djeezzzz my memory) is Fathersday !!
And therefor...My entry for the Digital Whisper.
But ALSO...for my family and (blog)friends.

It is a very personal photo so PLEASE don't copy. You see my father when it was round his 50th birthday, ( That glasses !! LOL ) and me on my Weddingday !
The little photo that I add is him, my twinbrother and me again. I think it's 48 years ago.
Enjoy this altered and vintage made, digital pic. and to you all, Heartly greetings and a HAPPY fatherday !.

Mostly I have some problems using a background from someone else. It is difficult for me to invent something with that. BUT ! A challenge is a CHALLENGE ! Isn't it ?

This entry took a few hours to make. I struggled with the lassotool (one of the hardest tools to use I think...I rather use a path and pentool to cut out elements) Further I played around with the WARPtool to past my pic. into the book.
And my Wacom !!(I am nowhere without my tablet !)

It seems so long ago that I played around with my funny bathing beauties.
When I started two years ago with this blog I used them often to photoshop. Beside fabulous Hilda (from Duane Bryers) are they one of my favorite subjects.
I even think of putting back my banner which I have once made of them.

*********************
I've had to think of a joke about a stork. And that whas my idea behind this entry. I'm sorry that it's in Dutch but maybe you can translate it.
Vader Ooievaar tracht zijn zoon een beetje gerust te stellen tijdens een van moeder Ooievaars regelmatig voorkomende nachtelijke absenties. "Huil maar niet, jongen," zegt de vader sussend, "je moeder brengt baby's naar de mensen en dat maakt die mensen heel gelukkig."
De volgende nacht is het de beurt van de moeder om zoonlief te troosten: "Jongen, je vader is zo weer terug als hij de pappies en mammies hun kindje heeft bezorgd."
Een paar dagen later zijn vader en moeder Ooievaar vreselijk ongerust, want hun jongen is de hele nacht niet op zijn nest geweest. Als hij eindelijk, bij het krieken van de dag, terugkeert, vragen zijn opgeluchte ouders waar hij de hele nacht geweest is.
"Ooh, ik heb een paar scholieren de schrik van hun leven bezorgd."

In Meanwhile it has been already well known at many! There is a new challengeblog host by Ann - Bev - and Marie. The three muses.
It gives me so much joy and pleasure to SEE how other "digital" ladies interpretate the picture given by a challenge (or this time...just the idea !)
The creativity and sometimes the HUMOUR !! Specialy that last one. That's for me so important. And HOW and WHY it was done . The thougt behind the photomanipulation. That is often so surprising to read !
I love that !!
To Ann, Bev an Marie I want to say; CONGRATULATED WARMLY with your new challengeblog and especially your friendship !!!
