In recent times the commonest observance of Advent outside church circles has been the keeping of advent candles.

Advent.

Advent.

Advent.

Advent.


This year I'm slightly lucky when it comes to gifts. Verket makes a book filled with poems and pictures once a year around Christmas times. Anyone who is a registered user with Verket at any of their activities could send in contributions like pictures and text, a jury judged what got in the book and not. So I figured I'd send in a couple of pictures, and I was lucky enough to get 5 in the book, and one of my pictures even made the cover! Hooray!
The contributers gets a free book and can buy 5 cheap, so that's my Christmas present to most of my family this year. I hope they like it ♥

There's still plenty of snow by the way, and it's been the coldest November in 91 years! So the fjord will probably freeze if it keeps up, Hallevannet (a freshwater lake not far from here) has already frozen, me and A will have to get out to Elva soon to see if the ice is safe to walk on.


When I'm outside this scarf always gets full of snow:

  5. summertime dreams: Thank you :)
    Yeah, it's just not realistic to think that you're gonna wear what you've been wearing in the summer when winter comes. It looks like a lot of bloggers think that x) hehe.
