The time to search for gifts begins. I really want to give all my friends and a little gift for Christmas. I love giving gifts. I just like the excitement of choosing something nice or funny and someone and giving it to them as a present. I'm always so excited whether the person likes it or not and you just try to give them a feeling of appreciation with the gift and make them smile. When you give gifts you always show the appreciation you have for this person and that you have thought of them - for example that you have thought about what this person might like and then made the effort to find something convenient. Even if it's just a very, very small gift. It always means a lot to me when someone makes the effort to give me a little present and thinks about what I might like. For example, my pen friend recently gave me a small pendant with the pearls in the colors of the Hogwarts houses as a small pre-Christmas present. She wrote to me in the letter that I could attach it to my cell phone. I was so happy about it. My pen pal is a real artist and we're both really love the Harry Potter stories. We're both in the same Hogwarts house, too. We're two ambitious and cunning Slytherins.I could tell for hours why I feel so comfortable there, but I would probably never come to an end ;D Anyway, I think it's great that my pen pal has made something so beautiful for me with such fine craftsmanship. Above all, it also has this emotional value - that we both love these Harry Potter stories so much. We love to talk about it. I will definitely make something nice for her too. Something very special. I want you to be at least as happy as I was happy about your gift. Just like with my friends here. At the beginning of the weekend I will go to the Christmas market in town and look for little winter delicacies and christmassy things that I could buy. But I'm sure I also make something or paint. I already have so many ideas! Besides I would like to give my family something very special! Because they always try so hard to give me a nice present - and that's exactly what I want to do too for them. I will definitely do something nice for them. I like to do handicrafts. I am looking forward to christmas. The more I write about it, the more I get Christmas mood! However, the thoughts of my grandma still cloud me. I miss her so much. She would actually have been with me at Christmas. Because of this, I'll probably not get into the Christmas mood like i was in the last years. My thoughts are with her so often. How I would love to hug her. Ugh ......;<
Anyway, I hope you have a beautiful Christmas time. Ellie:>

Nobody actually knows, why she’s always looking into the distance like that... :]
Hey you out there :^
I would like to practice my hobby of painting even more than I already do. I love to paint with pen and paper in my old little sketchbook, but I would like to do more now. I would like to paint as beautifully as, for example, heikala or snakequeen7 do it. (I follow them here on Tumblr - what you people are invited to do as well, they paint really magically beautiful ^^) I generally sketch very messy and with a lot of lines and strokes. I have read that Heikala also uses colored ink for painting instead of watercolors. That's very smart and I think I'll give it a try. I'm also thinking about starting to paint on a tablet. Because as I said, since I sketch very "messy" it might help to draw on a tablet with a special app and an electronic pencil (idk how that thingies are called :] ), where I can also use special color effects, etc. How do you see it? Do you have any tips and tricks for me? With drawings you simply bring a piece of your imagination to life - you make it a little more realistic. And I would love to be able to do it as many guys like me who like to paint and draw in their free time.
Have a wonderful day

like it - yup i like it very much ;3
a lovely one a magical one a quiet one a soothing one
..i like it..
..i really like it.
I painted this a while ago, but somehow I like this picture very much, even if it isn’t as good as the pictures of the professionals :’)
I like to paint, that's all that matters, I guess ... I write stories and books myself and I have a lot of fun simply drawing or illustrating pictures from them, just for fun. I also like to paint pictures from other stories and books, for example Harry Potter. Do you think this painting turned out well?

Hey you out there.
Today is Christmas. It has snowed so much in the last few days that in this morning was the half of my front door snowed in. My cat wondered why he didn't come out. But after he tried to scrape away all the snow, he gave up and preferred to go to the warm wood stove in the living room and cuddle up on a soft blanket and now he’s asleep. I made myself some warm tea and comfortable on the old armchair with a good book. I made the tea from dried chamomile flowers and peppermint that I picked in my little garden in the summer. I love tea. And I love books. I also put on my favorite sweater today. It's really big, cozy and soft. My cat likes to cuddle up in it. Now the sun is shining on the white, glittering snow and two little robins are gathering on the bird feeder by the little cherry tree in front of my window. On the panes of my window are beautiful patterns from the frost outside. As if someone had painted it on it. Today my mom comes up to me from the village and will help me to prepare the meals and spend Christmas with me and my beloved cat. I'm looking forward to. I have to somehow clear the way of the snow at least as far as the garden fence. Then I want to wrap the present for my mom. I hope she'll like it. In the past few days I had already sent the presents for my friends and family as a parcel in the village. Also one for my pen friend. While I was reading the book, I put an old record on the record player with winter melodies and Christmas music. It's so cozy. The red and gold christmas baubles on the Christmas tree shine in the warm light of the fairy lights. I also hung some sweets and homemade jewelry on the Christmas tree. I am really happy to finally have the whole study behind me and finally to be able to rest and enjoy Christmas and winter. I love to walk around in nature and always come across beautiful hidden places. Whether in the middle of the forest, by the magical frozen lake or somewhere in the mountains. I'm also passionate about photography and it's always great to watch a wild animal in the snow or even take a great picture of it. For example, deer that run around in the deep snow. I feel like writing a little more on my stories on the old typewriter right now. Then I should begin cook the Christmas dinner. I’m going to prepare rice pudding, cod with boiled potatoes and red cabbage, pastries, cranberries and cakes. I love to cook and bake. Maybe I should also sweep the dust off the bookshelves a little and put away the books that can still find a place there. Besides that, there are printed papers from the typewriter all over the carpet in the living room. When my mother and I’ll eat, I’m going to put on our favorite Christmas record. My pen friend had sent me a package with a letter saying that I could not open the present until Christmas. When I did that today, I found lots of great Slytherin things in it. She even made a small Christmas tree pendant herself for me. I’m so grateful to her and I’m very happy about it. I hope she likes my present as much as I like hers. One thing, however, is very different from usual. Normally, my grandma would be with mom and me now. Normally we would enjoy Christmas Eve together, go to mass and eat the meal. Unfortunately everything is different now. My mom and me miss her so much. The grief haunts me and catches up with me again and again. Despite everything, we only have really happy and wonderful memories of her and she would definitely want us to have a wonderful Christmas and just remember her without being sad. When I was a little girl she always told me that if I can't find her anywhere and think that she’s gone, she isn’t gone at all, but looks down on us like an angel and is always with us. No matter where we are. I mustn't forget that. I love you grandma. Very very much!
I hope you all have a nice Christmas Eve. I wish you that with all my heart.
Ellie :')
Drawings bring the imagination from the inside of your mind to life.
A little thougt by myself.
Hey I'm Ellie. You can find a bit of everything here. I love to realize my memories, thoughts, and deepest feelings in my creativity. ..Ugh! This is a mess! But I'm still like it here. So if you like to, you are warmly invited to stay. >.
