Creative challenge: Draw your day

Hi my friends! Earlier this month I made a post about new ideas for posts. One of them was doing weekly creative challenges, to promote being creative and to have fun together! So here is the first of hopefully many challenges.
 
What to do? Draw your day! How? In any way you want. There is no need to make a whole comicbook or lifestory in drawings. And you don't even have to be good at drawing. I for instance cannot draw to save my life. But hey, I want to try it anyway! Make a drawing or just some dooddling even, of your day, any day of the week. Had a nice cup of tea in the fall sunshine? Draw that, draw a cup and a sun. I would love to see the result, so do let me know if you decide to join me! I will post my result next thursday, so do post a link to your blog and I can even show your result here on my blog too.
 
Remember there are no rules in this challenge. It is just for the sake of being creative and mostly just to have fun! The result doesn't have to be perfect, if you had fun then that is all that matters! I hope you will all join me!

Switzerland in pictures: Bern zoo

During my holiday in Switzerland we also went to the zoo in the city of Bern. Bern comes from the German word for bears, and the bear is the symbol of the city. Now, my favourite animal in the whole wide world is the bear! So I was super excited to go to this zoo. I had a wonderful and unforgettable 'encounter' with two beautiful brown bears. I had never seen bears that close as in the Bern zoo and I was over the moon! So many bear pics in this post. And Hedwig ( Haryy Potter's snowowl) makes an appearance too, or at least a familymember!



 
Animals just love me. This seal was constantly begging for my attention really. Hahaha, kidding ofcourse!  But it was a very fun meeting with him or her!


In the zoo you could follow a bear trail, with bear footprints. Too cool, as a bearloving gal I went kinda cookie here!





Next time: pictures of the old city centre of Bern, which was very impressive! Have a good day my friends!

My icecream dream #2

Hi my friends, hope you are all having a beautiful day! Remeber I told you all about my icecream dream? And that I have gotten the opportunity to bake my own cakes and cookies for the shop I work at now? Well, time for a small update I say! I got to bake a lovely brownie....but it failed hahaha. I think the temperature was too high as the outside was quite tough but the inside still sticky. Damn! It still smelled good though, so the whole shop was smelling of freshly baked brownie. Then I baked some vanilla cookies and boy...they were good even if I do say do myself. Whenever people in the shop order a coffee or tea, they get one of my vanilla cookies with it. Love it! Made me really happy. I will have to remember to take some pics during the whole thing! Next up bakingwise is waffles and cool chocolate lollipops. Can't wait! And for some eye candy, I share some nice posters I would love to have in my shop someday.....

Switzerland in pictures: Harder Kulm mountain

One of the prettiest post so far: pics of mountain Harder Kulm (height: 1300m) during my holiday in Switzerland! I enjoyed this day so much, with the breathtaking views of some of the highest mountains in the country and the beautiful lakes. The pictures really don't do it justice, but it's all I have :)

To capture the days #5

Hi my friends. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here is my view of the week in seven pictures!

On sunday I got back home from my holiday to Switzerland. So monday was unpacking day for me!
My petbird Joshua is back from my sisters home. He stayed there while I was away. Happy to have him back! Missed him alot.
Finally I had some time for crafting again. I love the colours of fall, and the small leafs I bought on holiday!
 
My gardens have been neglected and in dire need of some love. So frontgarden is first!
 
Clothes, clothes everywhere. Clothes are all around me. Cleaning my closet! And this is just a tiny portion of what was coming. I am still not ready! Hahaha.
Glamour shopping day! Waiting in a dressingroom for a friend who is trying on an outfit.
 Doing some baking research for my work at the icecream shop! Can't wait to start my baking!!
