This Notebook Belongs to: .............................

Some while back I bought a coupon for a notebook but the holidays came along...and homecoming...and some family birthdays...and suddenly I'm getting notices that my special is about to run out. (I don't imagine something like that EVER happened to any of you!)

After several false starts (and I get very OCD) I ditched the idea of using the templates provided and made my own layout. So I'm 1/4th of the way done as I can decorate the inside and the outside of the covers...I have until the fast-approaching end of the month!

Of course this isn't the only thing I did today... Took Buttercup to the vet again...seems she has allergies, and I have to give her a liquid medicine twice a day. That can can bubble and spit all over Ken and me while shaking her head and dribbling down her chin and chest as well!

I also decided to make more Valentine chocolates and decided to read up on tempering chocolate exactly...a bit tedious, but the end result is worth it. Oh...they taste decadent, too, with my latest recipe for a caramel, pecan and corn flake crunchy center!

You must be spending all your days on medicating the cat and recovering, making chocolate and tasting! These photos are all so good!

Those entrances and alleys are protected by ancient laws. It takes to much to explain it here.
Briefly: If it is useal to walk that path is has to be keeped.
As we have clay and are use to build with bricks we got lots of old ones to. Do n`t know the price.

For the houses: we have the saying : op ieder potje past wel een deksel. = +/- on every jar fits a lid. Those houses are very expensive to buy and maintain. But every one I know living in one is happy and feels very privilage.

Your collage looks like my desk...Haha! Cute photos and you better wear a raincoat and shower cap before medicating your kitty. Then take your medicine too...chocolates, that is! :)
