Oneida Girl

As much as I love working with a graphic program, I also enjoy sketching once in a while. Here's a drawing of a little girl from the Oneida Indian Nation:

My Landscape

I find it intriguing to tell something about oneself via collages. Thus I enjoyed creating several ATC-sized cards in a "Me" challenge. One of them is titled My Landscape:

It's a photo I took in Monument Valley a couple of years ago. In fact, I won with it the first prize in a photo contest of a perfume company which asked for photos representing the spirit of the USA. The prize was this table clock:

If you push a button, a little stage with a New York City scene opens and the first tunes of "New York New York" are played. The clock has a place of honor on my computer desk, and I just love it!

Bionade

Have you ever heard of Bionade? It's an organically manufactured non-alcoholic refreshment drink -- and a real alternative to other soft drinks. There are four different flavors -- Elderberry, Lychee, Herb, and Ginger-Orange. The latter is my favorite -- really tasty and refreshing!

Brontosaurus Eggs

Guess what? Today I bought brontosaurus eggs -- and ate one of them. Seriously. Have you ever seen a brontosaurus egg? They look like that:

 

 

It's a new kind of plum -- or at least one I hadn't come across before. Those brontosaurus eggs are just delicious!

Eraser Mania

I have collected erasers for a long time. They all found a new home in a big glass bowl -- much like one of those glass bowls in which people put a poor, lonely goldfish. Anyway, the erasers aren't lonely for sure -- they have plenty of eraser friends. Yesterday these six erasers joined the gang:

Here's the whole bunch -- at least you see those who managed to get hold of a place on the surface:
