Thankful

 
"What are you thankful for?", we´re asked for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge. The first things that came to my mind were books and bird songs, as shown in my digital card (all elements from Songbirdy). 
And today, I´m really thankful for having three good friends who bake Christmas cookies with me every year - here´s yesterday´s result, eight sorts of very different cookies, made without much effort but with lots of fun:

I hope you´re having a lovely first sunday in advent, too!

Honeycomb

We all know that Einstein quote that says that the existence of the world as we know it depends on the life of bees ... so I don´t repeat it here. Bees are really important for the balance of nature, and we all should do everything we can to make our world a bit more comfortable for them. 

I only have a small balcony but I try to plant what bees like ...old plants instead of new breedings that are more colourful etc.

I´m happy to have insects as well as breeding birds on my balcony because these are the future for mankind. 

This card is my entry for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge themed "Honeycomb". 

Dali

 

You shouldn´t use more than one portrait of the person you feature on your card - eeeemh .... yes.

But if this person is Salvador Dali, there couldn´t be enough portraits of him, because he was egocentric. 

I don´t consider myself an artist, but thinking of artists I admire, I don´t find anyone I would have liked to meet in real life or to be a friend of. It looks like great artists (poets or painters) usually aren´t the friendliest persons. Is it necessary to be egocentric to be an artist? What do you think?

My card for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge themed "Artists" was made with rubber stamps from Carmen´s Veranda, AALL & Create, Stampingbella, Rajastamps and Stempelbar.
