Magic Winter Out There

Gifts, gifts and more gifts - ’cause we’re just before Christmas ☃

The time to search for gifts begins. I really want to give all my friends and a little gift for Christmas. I love giving gifts. I just like the excitement of choosing something nice or funny and someone and giving it to them as a present. I'm always so excited whether the person likes it or not and you just try to give them a feeling of appreciation with the gift and make them smile. When you give gifts you always show the appreciation you have for this person and that you have thought of them - for example that you have thought about what this person might like and then made the effort to find something convenient. Even if it's just a very, very small gift. It always means a lot to me when someone makes the effort to give me a little present and thinks about what I might like. For example, my pen friend recently gave me a small pendant with the pearls in the colors of the Hogwarts houses as a small pre-Christmas present. She wrote to me in the letter that I could attach it to my cell phone. I was so happy about it. My pen pal is a real artist and we're both really love the Harry Potter stories. We're both in the same Hogwarts house, too. We're two ambitious and cunning Slytherins.I could tell for hours why I feel so comfortable there, but I would probably never come to an end ;D Anyway, I think it's great that my pen pal has made something so beautiful for me with such fine craftsmanship. Above all, it also has this emotional value - that we both love these Harry Potter stories so much. We love to talk about it. I will definitely make something nice for her too. Something very special. I want you to be at least as happy as I was happy about your gift. Just like with my friends here. At the beginning of the weekend I will go to the Christmas market in town and look for little winter delicacies and christmassy things that I could buy. But I'm sure I also make something or paint. I already have so many ideas! Besides I would like to give my family something very special! Because they always try so hard to give me a nice present - and that's exactly what I want to do too for them. I will definitely do something nice for them. I like to do handicrafts. I am looking forward to christmas. The more I write about it, the more I get Christmas mood! However, the thoughts of my grandma still cloud me. I miss her so much. She would actually have been with me at Christmas. Because of this, I'll probably not get into the Christmas mood like i was in the last years. My thoughts are with her so often. How I would love to hug her. Ugh ......;<

Anyway, I hope you have a beautiful Christmas time. Ellie:>

A new year - some new memorys

Happy New Year to each of you out there on the vast, wild, great and unexplored world!

Cats are bigger bookworms than you think

Season of Advent♥

I'm already in such a cozy winter mood! Where inside at dusk you sit in the warm light of the lamp in the old armchair and comfortably cuddled up in a cozy blanket, drink a hot tea or punch and read a thick book. Sometimes you look out of the window next to your Armchair into the thick snow that is outside on the windowsill and in the garden and watch how the dark blue sky gets darker and darker. Then a small blackbird or blue tit run across the snow and leave small tracks in it. And you cuddle up in your warm cozy blanket, sip your delicious tea and bury your nose again in the many letters of the book and immerse back into the story. The only sounds you hear are the soft crackling of the fire in the little carmine and the purring of your cat, who has curled up comfortably on your lap and is enjoying the pre-Christmas mood and silence as much as you do. I love to do this every evening <3 What about you? Have a magical season of Advent; 3 Ellie

Nobody actually knows, why she’s always looking into the distance like that... :]

It's so dreamy - so perfect for me ‘:) This is also one of my all-time favorite melodys and songs...

You should listen to it!

Does anyone have any tips for my drawing dream?

Hey you out there :^

I would like to practice my hobby of painting even more than I already do. I love to paint with pen and paper in my old little sketchbook, but I would like to do more now. I would like to paint as beautifully as, for example, heikala or snakequeen7 do it. (I follow them here on Tumblr - what you people are invited to do as well, they paint really magically beautiful ^^) I generally sketch very messy and with a lot of lines and strokes. I have read that Heikala also uses colored ink for painting instead of watercolors. That's very smart and I think I'll give it a try. I'm also thinking about starting to paint on a tablet. Because as I said, since I sketch very "messy" it might help to draw on a tablet with a special app and an electronic pencil (idk how that thingies are called :] ), where I can also use special color effects, etc. How do you see it? Do you have any tips and tricks for me? With drawings you simply bring a piece of your imagination to life - you make it a little more realistic. And I would love to be able to do it as many guys like me who like to paint and draw in their free time.

Have a wonderful day
