when I open the red one I found a white one... Then I start to remember an old song , Eh... Old and old... Ok.. from some years ago... Little boxes... In the song they sing about boxes in all colours...
Back to the pack ... in the white pack I found this beautifull quilt. I love it and can't wait to show it to all my friends.. Thank you Bronwyn for giving this to me:-) It will be on my wall from Advent start untill easter , as we says here in Norway: Christmas last all the way to easter:-)

The sun are always shining somewhere....

Last weekend I went on a trip to see the sun ....Yes I went to Nice to visit my brother and his family, and I did see the sun. It was as warm and yellow as it use to be in "old days" here in Trysil too :-) This summer has been a non risk for sunburn. So it was lovely to feel the sunshine at my face :-)
The plane left Norway in a hurry - thanks to Berit the storm who realy played at our coast. When we flew over the Alps we got this beautifull view.Not mutch snow to see, but sunny weather:-)
I had some realy great surprises when I was at my trip... I won some- eh-2 big giveaways.. It is almost like I feel a little ashamed by my luck... but I'm soo happy... I can't wait to show you the great prizes. Ok I will tell -I won both at Bronwyn and Joys blogs.. And when I got home there was even more gifts waiting for me , from my SCSS partners.I got two this year. I got this beautifull little bag from Lisa + a gift for under the Christmas tree....
And this sweet little bird + a Christmas gift ( for under the tree) from Beth. It is going to bee a long time to wait untill the 24. when I can open the gifts. Thank you both Lisa and Beth and not to forget Donna, who are making all this fun happen:-) Lucke for me I live here in Norway -so I can open my gifts on Christmas eve... :-)
I have only one big worry... Nemo tell me I don't deserve a gift from her, I have got to mutch... Wonder if she REAL mean that.... :-/
If you wonder why I just love to see the sun - take a look at this photo. This was what waited for me when I got home.. Grey sky and snow. I'm soo pleased we got snow atlas- it don't look so dark outside and IT is wintertime... :-)
Have a great Advent time.
