Last weekend I visited my friend R who lives in Leeuwarden, in the north of the Netherlands. Before dinner we took a walk around town, after a two and a half hour train ride it was nice to get a bit of exercise. I've taken lots and lots of photo's of this charming looking city, that might get a post of their own. At the start of our walk, we came across a man making bubbles. At first there weren't a lot of people, but after a while, more people gathered to enjoy these creations. Isn't it amazing how much joy a bunch of bubbles can bring?
Monday Blog Tour
Last week Duni invited me to participate in the Monday Blog Tour. She asked me to answer four questions. Thanks for the invitation Duni! Here are the questions and their answers:
What am I working on?
One of my new year's resolutions was posting more recipes and DIY's on this blog. So far, I haven't done those as much as I'd like to do! I did make some homemade cards recently that are almost ready to post here on the blog. Recipe wise, I have been experimenting lately with some summer salads, they need some adjusting (a little more of this, a little less of that), and after that I'm ready to do some rocking and rolling in the kitchen!
How does my work differ from others in it's genre?
No idea really!
Why do I write what I do?
I started out blogging, not knowing it would be this much fun! I'm fairly new at blogging, and there still are lots to learn and things to discover. The main reason for starting this adventure, was to practice my English and writing skills. I love how it gives a chance to connect with people. Reading other people's blog gives me a chance to learn new things, they inspire, and show me lots of places in the world I might never see in real life.
How does my writing process work?
I start out with taking lots of photo's, trying not to throw them ALL at you. Sometimes it's really hard to make a selection. From there I start writing, editing, reading, re-writing, getting a night of sleep and re-reading the day after. I mostly find lots of silly mistakes then, I correct those and then the post's ready to go online!
I would like to continue this tour by tagging my 'real life' friend and blog buddy Mandy, from All Lovely Things, to answer the four questions by next monday, 23th. Check out Duni's post over here.
I love how you captured those bubbles getting bigger and bigger :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for participating in the MBT! Loved reading your answers. Great idea to edit your post the next day with fresh eyes. I should probably do that too! p.s. the link to Mandy's blog isn't working?
Thanks for the warning, it should be working now. After all the editing and re-reading mistakes still get made ;-)
DeleteOhh nice! Thanks for the tag, blog en real life buddy :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the bubbles, they make me feel like a child.
Maybe we should plan a bubble date and make some of our own!
DeleteSwoon, bubbles make me so happy! I adore them so much and I loved reading all your answers. Happy Monday, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the mystery of the bubbles is, I don't think there's anyone who dislikes them.
DeleteLove the bubbles! and I think your English is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela! I get pretty insecure about it sometimes, especially when it comes to expressions, lots of things can go wrong with those...
DeleteThere's nothing like bubbles to bring the kid out in everyone, eh? And totally agree...never knew blogging would be so much fun until I started doing it:)
ReplyDeleteI love how you can be social from your own couch. No need to dress up nice ;-)
DeleteHaha I know rereading is so important. Especially the next day with a fresh eye. You can spot all the typos!

ReplyDeleteI love the second one down in the first column...looks like a heart with the two together :)
I didn't see the heart before, but I do now!
DeleteLove those bubbles photos a lot! I'm always look for my picture to be cohesive for blog post and I see yours absolutely as great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, thanks Lana!
DeleteGreat photos! Seeing bubbles is like instant happiness and a reminder of childhood. Who doesn't love bubbles?! Even my cat goes crazy for them.
ReplyDeleteMy moms cats would have loved them and probably would have chased them :-)
DeleteThis is a fun post! I love the bubble photos, the effect is really pretty. I'm excited to see more recipes from you! xx
ReplyDeleteLately it has been really easy things, but I'd like to go back to experimenting a bit more. Maybe even try out some vegan recipes too, I really like what you've been creating in the kitchen.
DeleteThe photography!!! I love it Marieken! You perfectly captured the bubbles. Your photography talent is really superb.
