This weeks challenge from the three muses and, at the same time,
my last blog of this year.
After already two busy weeks here at home, (doing overtime at my work),
I have so much to do for the Holidays.
I realy don't know how to fit in the time to photoshop, take part on more challenges, creating collage sheets, visit you all...and so on.
Perhaps that it is recognizable to you all ??
I can only hope that you understand this :-)
In the meanwhile I'm sure that i will miss blogging and therefor I will ending this year with a LONG blog. (Hopefully YOU have the time to read it. LOL)
*********
But about the challenge !!
Home sweet home. I'm proud to live in the southern area of the Netherlands. The "Brabantse" hospitality ánd Burgundian mèntality is famous in our country and thát is wat I LOVE the most !! My cradle has stood here, my parents have raised me here, I met my loving husband here also.
Our children are born here, most of my friends and my family live here. And I have such a good life in this green and beautiful province ! I can't imagine to live elswhere.
Ofcourse i like it to travel and discover majestic places and cities but i'm always looking foorward at the end of a vacation to going HOME.
"My little home is my cosy castle" hahaaaa.

About my entry !!
I used a few personal photos that I snapped yesterday with my camera. At THIS moment, the Netherlands is covered under a thick layer of snow !
Brrrr COLD and slippy.

And my second entry. This one is photoshopped with elements from a few different scrapkits. The background is personal. Enjoy.

Eu adoro a Holanda e vivemos, eu e meu marido há 12 anos ai na Holanda, na cidade de Leiden...
ik sprek klein beetje nederlands. Mas isto não é problema. O teu blog é maravilhoso...
D'r is nou 's niet EEN die zegt dat ze/hij er niets aan vindt... neu... ikke ook niet! Zou ik liegen! Je bent gewoon een kei op freubelgebied Rian. Heb nu volgens mij alle afbeeldingen weer gezien. Prachtig, ook deze laatste.
Ook hier nog even de beste wensen voor 2010 en tot schrijfs.
