Theme of the Week - FIVE

To celebrate our 5th anniversary of this blog in October - here's an early celebratory theme of FIVE, or fifths. Have fun! Anyone who wants to choose the themes in AUGUST, please let it be known, or else I will have to pick them!

Heat Wave Comic

Dada Fan (against the heat)

I made a Dada fan out of my collages.....

Sorry friends that I´m so absent ..... I will not write a private article on the www - but I just want to let you know, that I am very busy at the moment with different issues. I´m missing you and KK and I hope that I will be back end of August/ beginning of September!

Happy Holidays ....so far so good!

   I'm taking some time out for summer holidays and will be seeing you all around september!

Not much fun this Climate Change!

First Sweet, than Sour ...

"Now Cheers., here's to you our sweet precious queen ..

but first eat and drink as much as you can, it's your party, your show"

(Oh how I wished I could have read this poem to Edgar Allen Poe)
