K is for Kindness, L is for Love

Last week I didn't get around to post for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday in time, so here's a double post for K and L. Kindness and love -- two great words with Valentine's Day around the corner. Two words which are so much more than words. After all, you can't take kindness and love for granted or rely on them being there forever. All the more, that's a reason to say thanks for acts of kindness and love whenever possible. Today I want to seize the occasion and thank Peggy from Peggy's Mixed-Up Art! I was one of the lucky people who won an art calendar made by her.


Peggy made great use of that keepsake photo album calendar, starting with a cheerful cover.


Don't you want to join these kids playing games?


A Valentine's Day sweetheart.


Dear Marie Antoinette: "She has communication issues."


Spring is in the air!


So very elegant.


A perfect day indeed.


Gotta love Peggy's humor!


Splendid August.


Back to school in September (at least here in Bavaria).


A sweet girl in October.


Pure joy of living in November.


Joyful December.


Isn't Peggy's whimsical art calendar just fabulous? It now has a place of honor in my kitchen. Another thanks goes to Kathy from Running With Rocket. She recently gave away a packet of dark chocolate-covered pecans and walnuts. Delicious -- a great Valentine's Day treat!


I also put something in the mail these days. A friend recently had a baby boy, so a card ...


... and some tiny gloves are on the way to her.


I also put the Oktoberfest T-shirt in the mail and hope that Jo-Ann will like it.
