B is for Boo


Today's letter at Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday is B. What a great occasion to show you a few more Halloween photos. Here you see my new hair circlet.


Rapunzel had to try it on.


Lara, too.


 My two sweet pumpkins.


Halloween came and went too fast... But, hey, today is Thanksgiving and then it's only a few more days until Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A is for Apple



Rubinette is my favorite apple variety. In fall, I count the days until these apples are sold again. Each morning I enjoy eating an apple for breakfast. Fruity heaven each single day!

For more A fun, be sure to visit Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday!

Z is for Zoo


Munich has its own zoo -- Tierpark Hellabrunn. What a great Z for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday!

 

I visited the zoo in August on a hot sunny day. The very first animals at the entrance are flamingos.


A beautiful snake.


Luminous jellyfish.


This friendly guy loved the camera!


Little Ludwig who celebrated this second birthday in May 2013.


Big bite.


Yawn -- always so many humans watching me.


A really elegant zebra -- and another Z for Alphabe-Thursday.


This polar bear is surely dreaming of winter.


 Lively and agile seals.


Lunch break.


I am watching you!

X is for X-cited


I sure was x-cited (and, voilĂ , I have my X for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday) when I found a letter in my mailbox with this stamp on the envelope.


I loved the card inside even more:

Just want you to know that
I'm thinking about you...


Anne from Anne's Phamily had sent me the adorable card along with stickers from Disney's Tangled and Brave.


Sure thing I love them!


Thanks so much Anne -- you rock!


Happy Halloween


My great pumpkins.


At a store, I found sweet popcorn in this adorable plastic bucket.


The other side of the bucket.


A ceramic owl.


A glorious sunrise last week.


I love the retro style of the cat goblets.


Four spiders on this plate.


A dancing disco ghost.


Poe's raven.


I wish you all a Happy Halloween!

Halloween Pendants



I like vintage Halloween images, so I decided to make pendants with them. I first put my favorite pictures together and had them printed on photo paper.


Then I marked and cut out an oval shape, so that the image fit into the pendant.


Finally, I used Glossy Accents to seal the image.


A day later I had six new pendants!


I love the smiling face of the moon.


These three ladies remind me of spring and summer. Thus I had to make a pendant with their image for next year.


I might put some of these pendants on my little Halloween tree.


They all turned out great.


Here's another pendant I made earlier this year, using one of my own digital collages.


I really like Xenia, too!


I hope your October Sunday is filled with magic!

Variety of Treats


Back in July, I had a variety of treats on birthday. What better V to use for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday? It all started with fresh croissants for breakfast.


Beautiful gerbera on my birthday table.


Dark chocolate with cassis filling in a lovely pink wrap. Since that pink was so bright, I just have to link to Beverly's Pink Saturday!


Isn't this owl wrapping paper just gorgeous? I love the design and color scheme.


I got macarons in an adorable tin box.


And here are the delicious macarons.


This blank journal has a certain French appeal, too.


I love the illustration on this birthday card!


A close-up of the decoration on my new flip flops. Just my colors!


Well, by now you probably know that I am into Disney and especially Tangled. Here's the Tangled mug for 2013.


One of my favorite Disney animators is Glen Keane. His artwork is amazing! Ariel, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel are Glen Keane's girls. Thus I am happy to say that I now have these dolls from the Disney Animators' Collection. 


A sweet little ladybug -- can anyone resist this smile?


I had a beautiful visitor in the afternoon. Right after taking this photo, I helped the little fellow to get outside again.


Sure thing that I also had a piece of cake -- what a perfect birthday! Do you agree that I indeed had a variety of treats?
