Friday Fun Day with Smiles

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Welcome once again to my Friday Fun Day, hope you enjoy looking.

This week we have been in France skiing though as you read this we will be ready for the trip home.
If you look closely you will see it is snowing which it has done for a good part of the week.
This was such a gorgeous photograph showing the most enormous icicles.
They were so long that it was difficult to get it all in the photograph so close-up.

 

There have been days that we were unable to ski which is unusual at this time of the year.

It has snowed so hard that there was a complete Whiteout but some people have insisted on skiing and were involved in an avalanche.

This is the second one in Tignes in about a month but thank goodness no-one was hurt this time.

 

But lets get away from that to something for you all to smile about.

We got up on Tuesday morning to see these two trying to dig their car out.

Yes there is a car there!

This was about 8.30 in the morning just as we went for breakfast.

 

 

Still not quite there but nearly!

 

 

They managed to dig it out at about 12.00 lunchtime but I will not bore you with all the photos, at least it kept us entertained and then we went off to see friends who work here for the season.

 

So despite the lack of skiing early in the week we still had something to smile about and great skiing from Wednesday onwards.

If you involve yourself in sports like this sometimes

 

Hope your weekend is good too.

 

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by.

As soon as I can I will be off to see what you have all been up to but please excuse me if I am a bit later than usual.

 

 And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

Friday Fun Day.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Not really much fun as I've been made up with cold, obviously some foreign body Lol!

However, I have a few photographs from the holiday which you've not seen so here they are.

Our lovely room.

 

View from the hall way.

 

Which looks out onto the path to the slope where we set off for our skiing each day.

 More gorgeous food.

 The Piste Map.

Showing the area where we skied.

 

Just can't resist photographing the gorgeous churches.

 

This is a smaller one and though it's not clear here it is painted pink.

 

On our way home now and going through the Toll.

 

And without boring you completely here we are at the airport of Grenoble.

 

The weather was lovely when we left France and like this when we reached the UK.

 

The blurring is due to the rain, naturally!

 

It was my birthday this week and I have had lots of nice cards to make me smile even though I have been feeling quite grotty so that was nice.

 

Well I'm off now for some more hot lemon as my cold is choosing not to shift but there you go Lol!

Still I have about six weeks to get better before we go back.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Friday Fun Day.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

 

Most days have been like this, loads of snow and sunny skies, gorgeous! More lovely food! Good job we are getting plenty of exercise!

 

 

The bar.

A collection of the Polar Bears.

 

This guy is in the entrance.

 

 

We had a run down to see the Indians at Courchevel.

Don't ask! I have no idea why they have Indians in France, they just have.

 

So that's it for now but will put together a few more photographs to show you next week.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

As soon as I can I will be off to see what the others have been up to.

WOYWW 398 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk. 
I am here again to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

More crazy cats!

 

If you were here last week you may well think nothing has changed and you wouldn't be far wrong though I have done a little more at trying out the pastels.

I have never really got on with oil pastels but these are water soluble so you can use them like water colours too which is more like the way I like to work.

 

I stamped and embossed lots of 'Crazy Animals' before we came away which will be die cut when complete and added to cards and journals.

I have been working on these to try out the pastels between bath time and evening meal when I've not been having a nap Lol!

The top ones are shades of brown and oranges mostly and the ones below are pink and purples.

 

 

 

I know some of you were wondering where we've been, here we are.

 

The Three Valleys is the largest interlinking ski area in the world and the main resorts are Meribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires but is surrounded by many smaller resorts such as La Tania, Saint Martin and Orelle which makes for lots of skiing as they all interlink and most are doorstep skiing.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to. I did manage to visit everyone last week that left comments and I will do that again but as you can imagine it may take me a while.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

No I have not gone completely mad, I know Christmas is over but it feels like it's still here were we are Lol!

Some very nice meals!

And lots of snow.

 

Now I know there are those of you who would not appreciate this but it's just what you need on a French ski holiday though of course it will be nice when it stops and the sun comes out.

 

Father Christmas looks like this now:

 

And as you can see it's still snowing.

 

Added this morning:

 

 

He is there somewhere!!!!

 

 

Hope that makes you smile a little even if it's because you're not here Lol!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.
