It’s nearly that time of year again, where kids get mesmerised by adverts on TV, parents get bombarded by “I want…” cries and I get all “Bah Humbug!” I can’t bear all the hype and commercialism, so when I saw that Take a Word’s challenge this week was to use “Time” in our artwork, I altered a vintage photo from my collection.
I may well use this as a Christmas card this year!! Enjoy all the entries HERE. ♥

/ October 30, 2011Haaa..You are indeed right Rosie !!
Overhere in Holland we have the Sinterklaas feast on the 5th december but it also irritates me that Santa is likely to gain the upper hand with his commercial stuff.
A fantastic card BTW with fab colours !! 🙂
hugsss, Rian

Marit
/ October 31, 2011I totally agree with you Rosie!!! I don’t like all the commercial stuff, MAN, we don’t even decorate the house much. (just my little, white branches with small lights… nothing more) I do look forward to the week after Christmas though… that’s MY party AND a special ‘blog-party-event-week’ for all my readers to enjoy and participate… curious now? You should! Haaaahaa
