when all of a sudden...

a great light did appear

a well known form of travel was near

it's lights 

were bright and twinkly

and a sight quite old 

and wrinkly

did rush past me

 in a flash

he had a beard

 a red hat

 and a bag full of stash

he had his list too

and he was checking it twice 

(and the fact that he does this  every year

 is always so nice)

he ho ho'd 

and he smiled

 and the kids 

well some 

went wild

others whimpered behind their mums

the smallest of all sucked their thumbs

then 

in a flash

(or lack thereof)

in one great zoom

he was gone

he went poof

Santa left the room

**************************

and all we have

 is this proof.....

the annual running of the jolly old man in a red suit

(PS the reindeer don't do the list checking run

they stay home in the warmth of the stables)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

just clouds...

went out to get the mail and a breath of fresh air

and looked up for a second

...

went back to get

"blanca"

and shoot the  heavens...

nothing like a sky full of 

blue and white

.....

1010

 

on days such as these

when men show just how evil and wicked they can be

 innocent souls are taken

 

anywhere in the world

 

and children are left without mothers

 mothers without children

we have to keep our eyes on the light

at the end of a very, very dark tunnel

 

and now to make things  worse and even more scary

a certain someone decides to make a bid for

"most powerful position on the planet"

 

we think its bad now

just wait....

may the powers that be

 above those on this earth

intervene

 and

stop the madness that will come

should that event happen

which is very likely

 coz those are the ones who steer todays events

 

 (my blog my opinion)

so while I've been gone

and no I still haven't picked up a hook

I've had to find other things to do

and one of them has been

colouring

with crayons

A

 "flicker friend"

 

 found a site with lots of free downloads

...

so I did

......

I took the photo a few days ago of what I had done up 'til then

little Russian dolls made of paper
(scroll down  the page a little to find them_

I decided to print the uncoloured ones

(she has them already coloured, which is what Dutzie had chosen)

 

if you've been around here for any  length of time

you know I have "one of everything"

to satisfy my never ending need to

"do stuff"

at the drop of a hat

so crayons were dusted off

sharpened and

used

so

yesterday

which turned out to be such a beautiful one weather wise

and errand day

when we stopped in Staples to get ink for the printer

(coz I OBVIOUSLY used all we had!!!!!!)

I got some new crayons

so the world isn't such a dark and scary place

we can colour a rainbow to shelter us from

those who would take all the colours out

 

 

 

have a wonderful rest of the day

and take time to notice the colours

all of them

 

 

:-)

it's December again...

so I changed the header photo

coz that's about all I have these days

guess the blog is on another hiatus

but I'll see you around in the other places

Facebook

instagram

pinterest

the photos are from three years ago

which was the last time I decorated

no one around here believes in Christmas  anymore

so why bother

winter solstice is the main topic at this time of the year

and I'm not sure what the decorations for that are

bright shiny stars and twigs???

:) :) :) :) :)

anyhoos,

lots of folks still coming in to get the patterns up at the top of the page

500 and more some days

so I guess I'll leave this open for them

see you around

in that big

WWW

:)
