Felice anno nuovo ٭ Happy new year ٭ Bonne année ٭ Feliz año nuevo
I do not ever wanted a printer, my motto was "paperless" both at work and at home ... well I changed my mind. For my birthday, a few weeks ago, Jacques gave me a color printer ink-jet which opened a fantastic world to me !
Here is immortalized the 2009 calendar (of which I am very proud) that I'll publish it here month by month.
Non avevo mai voluto una stampante e il mio motto era, sia al lavoro che a casa, "paperless"... ebbene mi sono ricreduta: per il mio compleanno, poche settimane fà, Jacques mi ha regalato una stampante a colori a getto di inchiostro e da allora si è aperto un mondo fantastico!
Ecco qui un esempio di cui sono molto orgogliosa: il calendario 2009 disegnati da me, stampati e ritagliati da Jacques, e poi mese per mese lo pubblicherò qui sul blog.
Buon Natale ٭ Merry Christmas ٭ Joyeux Noel ٭ Feliz Navidad

Domenica al parco II
Non andava, allora ho levato le ombre, seguendo il suggerimento di DND, poi ho continuato cambiando tanti piccoli e grandi particolari, sono ancora indecisa sui palloncini, mi sono venuti bene ma forse non c'entrano nulla con il resto ...
Sono arrivati i magneti !!!
Magnets from Libellulobar are arrived: they are so beautiful, much more beautiful as you can see trought the video (and photographed by me), they have a perfect definition and bright, seem ceramics. Bravo to Frédéric who realize them, and to Coralie, Elé (and me) for subjects: so different and all so cheerful!
Oggi in ufficio "Piccoletto’s Day"
Da qualche anno che la mia azienda organizza a maggio il "Children's Day", un evento molto bello e festoso: apre le porte ai bimbi dei dipendenti, che possono scoprire la scrivania o la postazione di lavoro di mamma e papà.
I nostri uffici, di solito così seriosi, si illuminano di tanta allegria e vivacità che sembra lasciare persino una piccola scia nei giorni seguenti.
Anche il mio "compagnuccio di stanza" porterà il suo piccoletto, sono proprio contanta di riverderlo, chissà com'è cresciuto dal cuccioletto di 1 anno dell'anno passato, che seduto sulla scrivania del papà, guardava con stupore dentro al video del PC!
