<div style="text-align: center;">Well what can you win at LiLi's place?</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to have a give away that reflects who I am. I like a lot of things: vintage, retro, I love to craft, to travel, see lovely old cities and villages and art galleries... I'm fond of chocolate and snail mail. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So this is what I came up with:</div><div style="text-align: center;">The prize is: a snail mail envelop filled with a card, bought or self made, each month of the next year.Starting February. So every month you will receive a card, that is if you are the winner of this give away. Of course I will write a sweet message or a quote on the card too. AND there is a chance to win this cheering up experience only once, just keep on reading:<br />
<br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Nu welke prijzen stelt LiLi beschikbaar?</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Ik wilde een give away die te maken heeft met wie ik ben. Mmm ik hou van heel veel dingen; vintage, retro, ik vind knutselen leuk, ik hou van geschiedenis, mooie oude stadjes, musea, maar ik ben ook dol op chocolade en op ouderwetse post in enveloppen. </span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Dus ik heb dit bedacht:</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">De prijs is: Gedurende een jaar lang iedere maand gezellige post, dat kan een oude kaart zijn of een kaart die ik zelf gemaakt heb. Op die kaart schrijf ik natuurlijk een gezellig bericht of een mooie quote. Je kunt ook eenmalig een gezellig gevulde brievenbus winnen, blijf lezen!</span></i> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Last night when I wanted to go to bed deadly tired, I dropped my contact lens in the bathroom and I went to bed without finding it. In the middle of the night I woke up and walked in the bathroom, and I shook the little rug for the 30th time and yesssss; my contact lens dropped out of it. I slept again. I woke up and I thought: I almost lost my contact lens. Then I walked in the bathroom and wondered why I left the sign: 'Be careful: lonely contact lens wandering around on the floor', and suddenly I realized that I must have dreamt that I found my contact again... :-( </div><div style="text-align: center;">Btw it is still enjoying it's freedom...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Werd ik uren later wakker en dacht: Tsjee, was ik toch zomaar bijna mijn lens kwijt. Ik stond op en mmmm vreemd, waarom heb ik dat blaadje met: 'Voorzichtig rondzwervende lens!' niet weggehaald?

Aan de onderste kerstbal met de brede top kun je zien dat het hier om een nieuwere bal gaat, weliswaar een traditioneel geblazen en apart model. De bovenste rechter bal is de nieuwste. Oude ballen zijn altijd verzilverd, maar ook aan het glitter kun je zien dat het hier om een nieuwere bal gaat, wel is deze traditioneel geblazen.

Een goed moment om jullie allemaal te bedanken voor jullie vriendschap en aardige woorden. </i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have changed the title of this blog about a dozen times already and still I'm not satisfied, but I decided to write along. Maybe a better idea will cross my mind while doing so. Anita of <a href="http://wwwcastlescrownscottages.blogspot.com/">Castles, Crowns and Cottages</a> has made a <a href="http://wwwcastlescrownscottages.blogspot.com/2010/11/windows.html">post</a> about the wonderful world of blogging friends. She did a great job sharing her feelings, that I can totally relate to, about blog friendship which can best be understood by bloggers themselves. The inspiration, the friendship we share, it is great to be part of that world. I want to thank you all for that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
