I know I was a baaaad blogger this year....might just surprise myself in 2014.....

I wish all my blogging friends a blessed Christmas.....and a bit of Dr Seuss`s wisdom .....

Gypsy says: ...

What happened to my blog??...it feels like only yesterday that I decided to put it aside only for a few weeks to focus on my family...a new business starting up....my health and all those things that happens on autopilot if you don`t really plan and manage them.....

So here I am....with a looooong overdue blog post and eager to get my teeth back into blogland....I really am excited to tell you about the new business I`m part of and in the coming days I`ll post some items and images and hope you will love it as much as I do...

I`m off now to visit some blogging friends....

Happy 2013.....

Wishing all my family and friends a happy and prosperous New Year!!!

Wishing all my friends a very blessed Christmas.........

Ala Gypsy: I`m not complaining.......

I`m not complaining......just explaining......I`m hard at work on this side and not blogging at all.....this year is racing towards it`s end and I still have way too much to do...at work and at home....how about you?........

But one thing I learned....Fast takes longer when I hurry!!!!!!

Ala Gypsy: Colds and Family.......

It`s now really winter here in "not so sunny" South Africa and all around me people are getting sick with flu.....I`m doing the vitamin-thing and the affirmations-thing.....will NOT get sick!!!!! 

Another thing everyone around me is doing...... is travelling...and that my friend makes me truly  SICK..... sigh...with all my heart I would love to be in any of my favorite spots around the world....a girls gotta dream....

This weekend we have a family feast.....family from overseas came to visit and we are always looking for an excuse to have a party!!!!....it`s gonna be loads of fun.....I`m so looking forward to that..... cold weather and all......

So Gypsy greetings to all of you for a fabulous weekend!!!!!!! 

Ala Gypsy: .....Happy Valentine`s ...

Wishing all of you a Happy Valentine`s Day........

Ala Gypsy: .....a blessed and merry Christmas...

Wishing all my blogging friends a blessed and very merry Christmas!!!!

Gypsy ramblings: I`m back.....

I took a little bit of a blog "holiday" ....that lasted waaaaaay longer than I planned for!!!!....but here I`m back and can`t wait to browse all the treasures that I missed.......a lot of great things happened that I will blog about in the coming week or so.............now off to greet all my blogging friends!!

Gypsy says: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since Sunday I can post no images.....do anyone else have the same problem...or a solution??...I`m getting frustrated here!!!!

Ala Gypsy: .....just calling in.....

Just calling in to say that I really and truly did not forget you.....life just happened on this side and blogging and browsing had to take a very unwilling second place......but I`m almost there......almost back with our daily chats and eye candy......

Hope that 2011 is treating you well so far......this Gypsy has great plans and dreams for this year...part of which is keeping me so busy.......I`ll talk to you all again during the weekend..XX

Ala Gypsy: .....eventually...

Eventually!!!!....I can post......I have been battling to get into my Blogger account and even then posting was not an option for this frustrated gypsy!!!!!

But here I am today....with a VERY LATE wish for a stunning, happy and successful 2011......I`ve decided to organise myself, my home, my office and all I can lay my hands on during January....still busy on this side.......how did your New Year start out????................

Ala Gypsy: It`s that magical time of year...already??......

This weekend I started my preparations for Christmas....yes I know I left it too long...yes I have seen all the lovely things that most of the crafty blogs already started doing and yes, I wish I started earlier........ but this gypsy was working on other stuff.......so please be gentle.....non the less I`m totally inspired by all the festive eye-candy throughout blog land.....I have decided that this year my Christmas table will be a bit of a bohemian one...see blog post..... and if you see a link or an image that you think will inspire me, I`ll be mighty pleased if you send it my way.....

I hope that most of my lovely blogging friends are way ahead of me this year with their planning, shopping and crafting....or not?

Isn`t this a magical time of year???? ......"it`s beginning to look a lot like Christmas".....(yes, It`s me singing)....but please don`t bother me any longer...can`t you see I have a lot to do......

Love you all and I`ll keep you up to date.....

And there I missed the whole of August......

Oh dear me....I was as busy as a bee....I knew I had to take some time-out with all the things happening around me, but I had no idea I missed a whole month.....

I don`t know about you, but if I don`t stop "cold" (not even look at any blogs) in times that I have a huge amount of work, I have major trouble....can`t help myself...blogging and blog-hopping is like a drug.....sigh.....but I did miss everyone so terribly, terribly much and can`t wait to see what eye-candy and treasures I missed.....so here I go......Gypsy is back and "surfing" again........

Ala Gypsy: .....taking a bit of time...

As I`m sitting here, I have to confess..."I`m here, but I`m not all there".........the cold spell of winter this past few weeks was not kind to this poor gypsy........my asthma got waaaaay out of hand and I had to disappear for a while....

I`m still not myself......so I`m taking a few more days leave from blog land....

Malevik...this image is for you......so that you can not reprimand me again for not posting roses...for each and every follower I give a rose from Malevicks blog....go and pick your own one......see you soon!!!

Ala Gypsy: .....brrr....brrrr ...it`s cold......

I`m a bad girl today....no Fabulous Friday post.....but I`m freezing here and I`m in my "I`m just sitting here" mode.... I promise I will post it tomorrow....I will you know....

The rest of the world is here.....exploring South Africa during the World cup and I`m disappearing under blankets.....no fun today.....

I made a huge "to-do-list" for this weekend.....I have high hopes for myself...and right here....all snugly under blankets I`m trying to motivate myself......come on Gypsy....tick off that list ......any advise?????

Ala Gypsy: .....what did you do with this year...

...I only glanced away....I mean for just a second and now they say it`s June already....some part of my brain just won`t accept it.......why oh why did I not stay focused.......I promised myself at the beginning of 2010 that this will be the one.......the one where I will keep my eye on the ball and LIVE IN EVERY MOMENT!!....well so much for that then.....I want you to listen Gypsy....for I have it on very good authority that you can never get lost time back....never, never ever..... 

......so starting this moment....this very moment....... I am thinking of time as my friend.....thinking that I have lots and lots of time to do everything that I still want......thinking of time to spare instead of time running out......the clever people who know this for a "secret" and did this for years already, told me that my thoughts are my biggest enemy.....yeah right.....you`ll be surprised at how little I think these days......running on autopilot became so comfortable and so me....until this moment....this very one....when I will start making the most of what is left of 2010...for my dear friend...this Gypsy has lot`s to do this year....and lot`s and lot`s of time to do it......

Ala Gypsy: .....so she asked...

"So Mom...what happened to your music?????.....your life is not a song anymore.....", she said to me.....my daughter that is........I had to sit through a whole explanation and dissectation of exactly what it is I lost somewhere along the way......and afterwards, this gypsy had to think.....

.....my bestest think tank always consists of a bath full of lovely warm water smelling of vanilla and a steaming cup of coffee....and there I sat....and sat.....and tried to be her.....looking at me.... through her 17 year old eyes. So what happened??...did it happen???....is it true???....why am I not making music anymore?

After a loooooooong bath and a million inward thoughts I have to be hard and honest with myself ....I think she`s right.....and a little bit wrong......maybe I was just singing off-tone...or maybe a sad song or maybe so soft that no one could hear me.....but one thing is true....what is a gypsy without a song?????
