Well, after a long journey (five hours on boats, trains and busses) I arrived at my vacation residence last night (also known as my sister's house). As promised I will keep you posted this vacation through a series of picturese, so here's my first installment of 'holiday slides'. ;-)

And of course I set up shop the minute my sister had left the house. |
And that's all for today. More to come the rest of the week. Hope you enjoy tagging along with me on my little vacation and wishing all of you a wonderful and artsy week!
