Christmas is… slow mail :-)
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009I´ve showed you the ornaments i received in the swap, all absolutely adorable. After Christmas-eve two more have come in the mail.

Christmas is… white
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009… and apparently it will be at least for another three weeks. The view from my work-room window. But enough with the romance already.

Christmas is… new traditions
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009The fourth year in a row now, I´ve been helping my sister Astri in her shop. It´s our own little tradition, and it´s so nice to spend this time together, talking and working together. Here is a picture of Axel and Karoline, visiting his parents house, getting the last presents ready.
Christmas is… a decorated tree!
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009There are so many ways to decorate a Christmas tree. Here is mine. When I was young I read an article about a couple who was travelling around the world, and had decided to buy a small souvenir from every country they visited, to hang on their Christmas tree.
