I hope you enjoyed the holidays! Earlier this week I had my doubts whether or not I would ever get into the work vibe again, but I can feel it coming now and cannot wait to take the kids back to school on Monday! We had a wonderful holiday at my sisters place in Switzerland and enjoyed ourselves fully, it has been along time since we had a real holiday together as a family! It took some adjusting to get used to Helsinki after 10 days in Zürich, we still have no snow, which means it is dark, wet and windy, which even an optimist like me have a difficult time finding anything positive to say about.
So I've made myself busy playing around with my new Summer card collection for 2012, I hope you like it! I wanted it to reminincence of Summers in the 1950's and 1960's.
This is my personal favourite, I call it "garden party", of course.
The moped comes as a close second, I am always asked for cards for the guys, this should be it? At least my dad used to ride one of these in his teens with his long hair blowing in the wind.
Happy new 2012! I've heard it's going to be a great year :)
Hello,
