Welcome to my personal homepage! Here you are at the portal to the websites that I have created about my hobbies: my original art, my web development and design, the jazz music that I make together with my husband, and my precious Bichon Frise dogs.

I live in The Netherlands where we speak Dutch, and I have written my websites originally in English to make them understandable for the whole world.

All my webpages are handwritten by me in Notepad and they work fine with the browsers Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Netscape Navigator. My pages display the nicest in Internet Explorer, as this browser supports colored scrollbars while the other browsers do not or only partially. It's a pity that IE 7 doesn't support bordercolors in selectboxes anymore.

All html and css coding, all php scripts and nearly all javascripts that you find on my websites have been developed and written by myself. All photos are mine. All graphics and backgrounds have been originally created by me from scratch or from scans of my own paintings and photos. Therefore, what you find at my websites is no public domain so may not be taken and used by you for your own website, unless I explicitly offer it to you for use on your private homepage or other private use.

Below are the links to my websites. Enjoy your visit!

	At my Original Art Designs website I show you my original paintings, graphics and web designs. Here I also offer you my free e-cards, email stationeries, web graphic sets and virtual gifts that I created out of my own paintings and photos.
	The Samsoms Music is a page about a main hobby of me and my husband: playing jazz music! Together we form The Samsoms, my husband Pim plays the piano and the bass, while I myself am a singer and also I play the piano. At our music page you can hear our newest releases, recorded at our home studio. You will also find free downloads of our music.
	Website Bichon Iris I first created in 2001 and is about my sweet little dog Iris. This website I have especially designed for kids and it contains photos of Iris and her fun holiday pages! Since Iris passed away in June 2005, website Bichon Iris also is a tribute in loving memory of her.
	The Bichon Frise Dog is an informative website about the Bichon Frise. I have dedicated it to my sweet dog Bathine. Here you find the history of the breed, a description and standard, a grooming tutorial and a care manual, all illustrated with photos of my dogs Bathine and her mother Iris.
