First of all thank you all so much for your emails, hyves/facebook messages and comments here, they mean the world to me, thanks for supporting my deciscion.
Christmas. I love it. I love listening to the mostly Dutch Christmas songs and singing them out loud when I am alone in the house. Most of all i love to decorate the house and the Christmas tree. The last is the most fun but also the most exspensive as it seems. I like to change my ornaments every year, create a whole new look. The last look I have had a few years, added some new ornaments every year, until you could hardly see any tree at all, that stuffed it was, but I loved it. This year I was so inspired through some blogs that I follow that I wanted to go for the more original Christmas colors, red, white and green. So I thought well let's buy some red and white ornaments and mix it with the greens I already have. Hmmmmm Apparently I bought enough red and white to fill the whole tree with so skip the green ones I already had :). This is the result by day:
by night:
Close-ups:
and some other decorations around the house:
and the last one I really like a lot. I printed out some vintage Christmas images that I found on the internet on glossy paper and hang them in this:
I love that I can change this with the season and have photo's of us in it on regular days.
Well that is it for now, have to do a little photoshoot with my own kids now to surprise grandma with some new photo's of them for Christmas.

Hey Corinne, it was chanuka and while I was very busy, I missed your last post. I'm sure you have mixed feelings about it but what i love about you is that you dare taking decisions and try to follow your heart and do your thing. I'm sure your fans will follow you where ever you are ;)
Happy holidays!

Wat een prachtige dingen heb jij in je kerstboom, heel erg mooi.
Wat je in je vorige bericht schrijft begrijp ik hoor. Goed dat je voelt wat je voelt en dat je er naar luistert. En als je voelt weer te willen scrappen, nou, dan is het nog vroeg genoeg. Ik ben blij dat je fotografie-business goed loopt en wens je veel succes en geluk.
Liefs,
Joke.

Gezellig, je kerstsfeertje!
Waar mijn oog op viel is de mand waarin de kerstboom staat, ben nl. al een tijdje op zoek naar zoiets voor onze boom. Weet dat ik het ergens heb zien staan in een foldertje, maar waar...?
Kun je me helpen?

Tnx!
