What do you do to relax. Me, I read, I love to read. Especially when I'm on vacation. I even made a scrapbook page about me taking lots of books with me when I go away in the summer.
During the rest of the year I do read but almost never during the day (too busy with bloghopping, making cards, scrapbook LO, some household chores), so I read a few pages of a book when I'm in bed and that's it.
No on to my favorite flower. Can you quess by the picture? It's Lily of the Valley. I had these in my wedding bouquet, 16 years ago on May 19th, and I was going to pick some from my mothers's garden yesterday and take a picture to post here but I completely forgot so I picked a picture from the net. I love these flowers, they smell so good.
Now leave a message on my blog, give me more tips on how to relax.

I like to relax with a good book in bed. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHave a happy anniversary! Lily of the valley smell so nice!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenReading, yes, I love to read a mystery right before I go to sleep. I forgot about that because I need to get another book.
Sometimes I like to get a cinnamon mocha and savor that. Just smelling it relaxes me.
lilly of the valley was my grandmothers favorite. thanks for the inspiration!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlove the cards. thanks for sharing. i can't seem to follow your blog but i did add you to my google reader. i hope that is ok. thanks.:)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHow beautiful!! An afternoon of relaxing for me is to sit back & enjoy a good book (especially if it's raining outside!).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHoi Eveline
BeantwoordenVerwijderenZe zijn prachtig, die Lelietjes!!!
Mijn relax tip is scrappen....ook al kom ik nog zo moe thuis uit mijn werk, na een uurtje scrappen ben ik weer helemaal opgeladen, probeer het eens zou ik zeggen.....
En als dat niet meer helpt ben ik aan vakantie toe, maar zelfs zomers gaan de scrapspullen nog mee.....haha

how pretty is that flower, they have such perfect little bells on each blossom.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love to relax in a nice warm bath, but I don't have one at home as our bathroom is so small. A shower just isn't the same unfortunately.....
Lillies of the valley remind me of my grandfather. I love to relax in my garden
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLily of the Valley is beautiful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love to cuttle up on the couch with a cup of hot coffee, listening to music or reading a craft magazine. I also love to take a warm bubble bath. >:0)
Talk a long walk with someone special...

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello, and thanks for being a part of the hop. Pretty flower choice!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love to watch tv and read :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI have some of the lily of the valley growing in my garden...I can hardly wait until it blooms. I love to sit in my sunroom and look at the latest crafting magazine.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love to read too! Also taking long bubble baths.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like Lily of the Valley too. In fact, my first house had it on the side of the house and I loved them so much. Unfortunately, I moved after one year and never had shade again. I love to relax by reading too. In fact, I read four books this month.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHoi Eveline,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk hop ook even bij jou langs!!! Ik zie dat het al heel laat is maar ik kan uitslapen!!
Mijn ontspanning is mezelf oprollen in de bank met een thriller! Eigenlijk elk goed boek. Maar de laaste tijd lees ik veel van dit genre! En niet te vergeten met koffie en een bakje M&M's naast me!
tot gauw en groetjes, Sandra :-)
I love those as well, always a sign spring is here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful flowers, have a bunch of them growing outside my laundry room. Great to see a Dutch site! Memories of our wonderful 25th wedding anniversary trip six years ago to see the places that our parents grew up before they immigrated to Canada.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenforgot, to relax I spend time on blogs and read. A great bath is nice too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenReading is my favourite relax time too! thanks for the fun blog hop!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHappy Early Anniversary. warm bath and a nice chocolate is great to help you relax.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for showing your wedding bouquet! So beautiful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLily of the Valley is a sweet precious flower, I agree with you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for the hop!
I love to relax by sitting by the pool with my doggie! What a beautiful flower choice!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI used to have lily of the valleys at my previous homes--none now, but I do think they are very pretty. Yoga is a great method to teach your body to relax or a glass of wine.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLinda Peterson
When I relax I just try to veg and do absolutely nothing!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a beautiful flower!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHave you ever tried a hot stone massage? Definitely the best way to relax!!!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHugs
Amber
I like these flowers too - they small lovely. What I like most about them is that they seem enchanted. They always grow in a llittle halfsunny patch in the forest...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOhhhh...such a pretty blog. I enjoy a nice chic flick and a glass of wine to relax. Maybe even a good book...peace and quiet.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove your flower, too. Isn't this fun!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI relax in my big overstuffed backyard swing and watch the birds, bees, and flowers.

Het zijn prachtige bloemen Eveline! Mooi bruidsboeket!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMijn favoriete bloem is denk ik toch de roos.
En om te relaxen ga ik niet in de tuin werken zoals vanmiddag, maar heerlijk in een warm bad met een boek!
(maar de tuin ziet er wel weer "keurig" uit)
Groetjes,
Martha
To relax I just read, cuddle up with the dog and a cup of tea. This helps a lot
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful delicate flower- Lily of the Valley.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI relax by sitting on my patio reading magazines~which have a tendency to pile up every month ;o)
I have some Lily of the Valley coming through in the garden but the little flower is not on them yet. Enjoying your blog x
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLily of the Valley is so delicate and pretty! A great way to relax would be having hot tea or cocoa with cookies and cuddling under blankets reading magazines or blog hopping. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love reading too. Especially on vacation. If the book is really good, I'd rather lay on the beach and read (& watch too lol) than go sightseeing. Of course, no one else wants that. boohoo!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for doing the blog hop.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI rmember these from my Mom's garden. There were so many. As for relaxing--we all have to make time for ourselves.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenLilly of the Valley reminds me of my late nan who used Lily of the Valley toiletries, so the smell makes me smile inside.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI relax with a soak in the bath or some blog hopping.
I love to relax with my sweetie cat Pippie(she looks just like your cat).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwe would see these little jewels pop up when i was a kid, sometimes even through the snow!
