Giving thanks, giving gifts

When days are shorter and cold, it's time for warm hugs and gifts. It's time to give thanks to those you care about and show them your love and care with the gifts...

Therefore, first, this is my thanks to:

• Drobtinice for the cute little gift via snail-mail
  

• my friend Irma for the dreams
• children for inspiration
• loyal readers, viewers who like my stuff
• my 'agent', who spreads the word of creatissimo around
  

• the handy-guy, who creates a new creative space for me
• our house which keeps us under one roof
• and finally thanks to all the others who are modest, anonymous, silent, undetected, tiny, but have a biiiig heart for me and for other people.

After 'thanksgiving' comes the time for gifts of thanks. My gifts are on the go from December 1 already. They found some new owners in Logatec and they are still travelling around the World...

But some selected gifts are waiting, waiting for you. They are wrapped in a secret. They will be shown to the new owners only.
You'll have to make some effort to win a gift!

The rules to play are here:

1. Every December post will have a question or a task to do. Comment every single one to get more 'points'.
2. Write about creatissimo on your blog and link to it. Those who will do so many times, they will move higher on a gift-list.
3. If you will have creatissimo on your blog list (your side-bar) to show that you read it every day, will automatically move to the 'priority' gift-list.
4. Everyone who will participate with original ideas, using other media as well (music, poetry, video, photos, doodles, etc.), will be on the winning list for sure! Be creative!

The winner will not be picked by the machine, but personally by creatissimo. The more points you get, more chances to win a gift/gifts.

So, let's start the happy December! (But don't forget! - This is just a game, not a battle!)

Here is the first question for you: which part of your body is the most recognizable - it shows that you are 'you'? Write, draw, describe, sing ... The key to the secret gift is in your hands!

Good luck!

Underground Advent

My Sunday underground exploration for fresh ideas:

Work in progress

A detail from my desk (it is too messy to show everything! ; )). Shiny materials everywhere…

Waiting for Xmas…

Waiting to be cut…

Waiting to begin the process…

Come and see the results - we'll be in Logatec on December 4!

Montessori kindergarten

I would like to go to the Montessori kindergarten...

...because of the wonderful wooden materials:

...to finally learn 'math':

...or to explore other areas:

...to love nature:

...to prepare food for myself:

...and to have my own place in the group...

And who wouldn't love

washing hands in the colourful bathroom...

...or cleaning the floor with colourful tools?!

New-s

Hello, friends! Here are some new things from Creatissimo.
First: Creatissimo web site is finally open, but I'm sorry, it's in Slovene language only. I'm sure, some day in the future it will be in English as well. But you can check it out anyway. Just click on the picture:

You will see everything what Creatissimo offers:

Under No.6 (Prodaja ustvarjenih del), you can see some art works that are on sale at the moment. If you are interested in any of these products, please, contact me via e-mail. Thanks!

Second: Here are some pictures of the beautiful autumn which was here just two days ago. But now, some parts of Slovenia are covered with snow!! (Not here, at my place, unfortunately)…

Third: A new thought for you… A sound makes vibes. Here you can see a pattern, made by my voice, and a photo of almost identical pattern from the nature.

(photos, taken in Avstria)

And here is a thought: what kind of vibes we allow around us? What kind of voices we send out to our friends, family, etc.? At music therapy we focus on this issue a lot, because we believe that the voice is very important in a healing process and in the life in general as well.
I hope that your choices are good choices – sounds in harmony, a pleasant melody maybe?… Vibes that create nice patters, not a chaos.
Anyway, I wish you the ‘good vibes’ every day! :)
