Weird and wonderful imagination

The weird and wonderful imagination of twelve year olds is great! Fantastic entertainment! Their creativity explodes as they start on their journey to adulthood yet it is confined within the borders of peer pressure and that of course is the driving force of all that talent coming to the forefront! They need to prove they are best and most of all coolest. ;)


Hmm, little cupcakes, they are cool


Homemade ice cream ring! The stakes are high. The competition is on!

It´s not all kosher and yesterday, my daughter discovered the awful feeling of letting a friend down. We chatted till late about how important it is to learn from our mistakes and to deal with the greatest challenge in the art world,....being original and yet with our peers; are inspired by the same sources.

But let the creativity roll on and give space for others to learn from you too :)

Out came the sun!


What wonderful sunshine, we are ever so slightly starved of sun, so we cleared away a little patch to be able to sit against the wall of the house and warm ourselves. It has been a particularly beautiful winter. But I am still ready for spring, the snow is slowly sliding off the roof and each crash brings a little excitement. Even the birds were chirping madly in the trees as the snow was tumbling down.






The paparazzi which is Uma´s new nick name, wouldn`t go away! ;)






...and since she had got us in such a funny way I had to post it! Hope some of you guys look as corny as us sometimes! Lol!!!
