dutch bloggers x-mas hug "kerstknuffel"

pics elvs

A little while ago dutch blogger and creative "centipede" Lynda Hovens 

started a fantastic online event among dutch/belgian bloggers 

called "christmas hug"

every participant was linked to another participant and the intention was to make

 or buy a personal gift for someone you don't know at all... 

this week I received my lovely presents and a very kind card from 

sweet Wendy from the belgian blog me and my dog @ home

 the person to whom i was linked and who became my new blogfriend

this so nice event really made me smile

thank you so much Lynda and Wendy

It was fantastic to join in and getting to know this other person better 

by visiting her blog and leaving comments... I am in for next year :-)

# I usually spend most time at our dining table where we do not only eat, 
but also study and work, now that it's colder I love to snuggle down in a blanket 
and cuddle in my bed with a good book and a big cup of hot cocoa beside me. #

# It's great to relax here after a busy day at work when the children are in bed 

admiring new post on blogs on my ipad or reading my magazines... just some "me" time #

while watching some beautiful interior instagram pictures the other day,

supplemented with some words...
