I tried my hand at a collage!














I was messing around out in the store today
after I had spent the morning at school
gluing construction paper
around 26 milk cartons, Phew!
I took a little time while one of
my customers shopped
in the store coming up with
different collages!
I had so much fun
and before I close I wanted to share
my wreath door display.
This poor door
came off of our first house in Washington
and I had to bring it with to Alaska.
and
My Mom today is making
Hard tack its a Swedish flat bread
I will post pictures of it and a recipe.
when I can get my hands on some.
I wish she lived a little closer.
It's not the holidays without this treat!

  11. We on the west coast are such babies...it is -10C which is 14F but I lived on the prairies and it got as low as -40 with wind chill...which is -40F so I should stop whining.

    The difference is having an insulated house with double pane windows which this house is not!

    I like image number 3 also, and the little goats!

  14. Hi Heidi,

    Your collage's look like fun!! I enjoyed your comment on my blog about the way you dress. It sounds very familiar. I used to live in a little village where people behaved the same way as in your town. Nowadays in the big city no one really cares. You can wear whatever you like and just be yourself.

    Your parcel is finally on it's way. I hope it will arrive next week. I added some fun hairclips for your daughter. I think/hope you will both love them :-)!

    Enjoy your new day. Looking forward to see the Swedisch loaf!

    Lieve groet,

    Madelief
