My Christmas tree!!

I haven't had a Christmas tree in my apartment for the last 3 years. That's because I have been traveling to Bergen to spend Christmas with the children. I did collect Christmas ornaments for 25 years, but they are all in Bergen now! But this year I wanted one. I have started a new collection, and today I purchased a tree! It's an artificial tree, and I actually prefer them to the natural ones. I think it's crazy to by a really expensive natural tree and then trow it out after 3 or 4 weeks!!! I always felt bad when I did that :((
I don't have a lot of Christmas feeling ....as usual, maybe because it's raining all the time. But the tree did help a lot :))

As my collection is not enough to fill the whole tree, I needed to fill it with all the possible items I could think of!!

Snowing!!!! No it´s too early!!!!

This is the view from my working room. I look out on two of the oldest houses in Rena, the brown one is used as a kindergarden! But it´s too early for winter and snow. This means that I am looking at 6 months of cold winter!!! My what have I done!! Okay...this is what you get moving away from the west coast and the rain ( would I like rain for 6 months ? NOOO)

So here we go, winter is here!

I also like to show you my working room. I am lucky, I have a lot of space..too much maybee...it´s always looking messy!! Working on the sewing room, new pictures tomorrow :D

What a morning view!!

Today is my 48th birthday, and I woke up 4.pm this morning to this amazing view!!

For sure it´s going to be a rainy day, but who cares..... this was such a wonderful gift from mother nature!!

Pictures from my vacation to the US this July

Yellowstone was a fascinating place with a lot of great motifs and wonderful colors!

An early summer morning...

The picture is taken early one morning the 22 of May.

there is a small lake, right behind my apartment. Nice place for walks and jogging!

Vinter- weekend!

Kanskje dette kan forklare hvorfor det går så langsomt med det franske huset, også i helgene!

Her er fra søndagsturen i fjellene i øvre Rendalen i Hedemark. Bildet viser Rendals Sølen sett fra Veslesetra.

These pictures might explain why the progress on the french house is slow, also during the weekends! These pictures are from one of the trip this weekend. It´s shows some of the mountains in upper part of Rendalen, Hedemark in Norway.

Julestemning!

Er det noen der ute som trenger å komme i julestemning? Måtte bare dele dette nydelige bildet av julegaten i Rena, her jeg for tiden bor......

Does anyone out there need a little help with the Christmas feeling? I had to share this beautiful picture of the Christmas lights in the main street of Rena, the small town I live in at the time.....
