Our new "monster"

Meet Spikey! He's an agame, and so terribly cute!!! I really wanted a reptile for ages but my parents didn't want to have animals, my ex hated them and now after 22 years I finally got my first reptile! He's a baby still but he will be around 30 cm (his body) and in total from head to tale, around 60 cm! Love it! I just don't like what he eats! crickets and moths (worms) and all that kind of stuff and preferably alive! But hé I will get used to it eventually!

*Love Elsie* paperbag mini-album

I finally finished this cute but bright and cheerful *love elsie* paperbag mini-album.
I made this for a (non-scrapping) friend who lives in Texas. She could use some cheer up right now so I hope she likes it and it will arrive safe and sound! To see all pics click here .

I also finished another lo for the finding you workshop! Just 4 more to go and I am up to date!

2 new lo's

as promised!!!
The first one is a lo I made for the workshop "finding you" from corinne delis! I am still way behind!
The second one is a scraplift from a lo I saw on the *Love Elsie* flickr group. I loved working on both of them!
And you know what? I am running out of paper!!! I am working on a paperbag minibook with the last bit of elsiepaper, then there's a minibook in process with jack and abby and after that I only had about 6 sheets left!!! And they all don't match! So I need new paper!!!! Anyone got tips to cute paper and internetshops?




Weddingupdate:
Last night we visited our weddinglocation and talked about the food, our wishes, plans and all, we are so excited about this!!!
After that we went to visit Majootje and I asked her to be my "best man/woman" and she said yes!!!
This morning I had a conversation with our photographer and he can totally meet our wishes so that's arranged too!!! I am soooooo happy again!

Found my

MOJO again! yeaahhaaaa! I scrapped these cards below, today I finished 2 lo's and started a paperbag mini-album for a friend who can use a lot of support right now.

I haven't photographed the lo's yet but I will tomorrow I promise!

Weddingupdate: Last thursday Igor and I went over the the juweler's and chose these 2 perfect rings! They are so so so (did i mention "so") applicable to our situation, but I can't really explain it without pics so just a little more patience! We're still thinking about the inscription but I am sure we will find the appropriate words soon!

Post # 150!!

Wow 150 messages already! And this one is all about fall! I made a minibook a while ago about why I love the fall so much, I send it in to a magazine but haven't heard from them so I decided to place it eventually! So here it is, well at least some of it! Here you can find all pictures! I am really happy with how it turned out! So take a look!!!

some christmas

HI!
Oh this year I am so into Christmas! In October I bought Christmas-scrapstuff already and started working on a christmasjournal and the christmaschallenge! Now I finished some christmascards that I found on a blog Ellen gave me a link to! It's from Cambria Turnbow and love the things she makes so I just had to lift some of the ideas and did! Here are my interpretations! The first one is a try-out with my new Cricut Cartridge.



Then I also made a little "X-mas"book by the idea of S@ndra which was a lot of work! But I love how it turned out! I made it with the scrapfever scrapkit of October.

Wedding-update:
I chose my dress, now I just have to order it and wait 5 weeks! Thursday we will go shopping for rings and crafts for making the invites. Monday we have an appointment at the party/weddinglocation to talk about the food an all! Loving it!!

We are getting married!!!

Isn't that great!? Ok it wasn't all that romantic because we kind of "have to" get married. No I am not pregnant but Igor will be co-owner of a big store starting februari first so legally stuff needed to be arranged so we decided to get married on prenoptual-agreement. The big day will be:

Friday Februari 15 th 2008

order from the us came in!

This time my paypal account wouldn't coop so it took a little longer but finally a few days ago my order came in! Here some pics!

not much

to tell you! I did little scrapping over the last few days as my shoulders and neck are killing me! (Muscle-tension- headaches)so I am not around my scraproom nor computer a lot. I have been writing and watching tv and being a good housewife! (for as long as I am keeping this up ;-))
Here is a lo I made for a competition I entered but I didn't win so I can show it here now. 3 more competitions I entered but they will not decide before the end of this month.


Hmm let's see what else? Oh my iron blew up on me this morning! So I just had to order a new one! A pink one, so great! It will be delivered tomorrow. This is the first time I am looking forward to doing some ironing! Can you imagine?
Also got some cool scrapstuff from the states, lovely crystals from prima marketing! Love it!!!! Will show them soon!
I am off again bye bye!

shopping

Hello hello!
I just have to show you what I bought yesterday at paper and pictures It was a very long time ago I went there as I used to go on fridaynight but they aren't open anymore that night, too bad :-( Anyway... I had to go to a docters appointment and the news was great so this was my present! Don't you just LOVE the new Prima flowers! There were so many I could hardly choose! I did a lot of serious scrapping but haven't made any pics yet but they will follow soon! Off again to do some scrapping!!! (click to enlarge pictures!)

New lo

Hi guys (ok sorry...girls!)

Here's a new lo I made a few days ago but was too lazy to photograph it! It's another lo for the workshop Finding Me. Just 1 more and I am back on track! Will do that before saturday as we will receive our new assignment then again!

Thank you!

to those who have send me emails, you know who you are!.
Quite a few people have asked me if I am ok, what happened (red line in previous post). I don't think this is the right place explain what happened so I will keep it in general.

Every once in a great while someone crosses your path you really feel a click with. I am a person who will do anything to help this person and maintain a friendship. Every once in a while this goes wrong, it can be various reasons. This time it was the reason that my advice was not appreciated, it was taken as critisism. I got to see the true nature and was accused of many things that weren't true. This has hurt me a great deal, especially after all we did for them but then I decided that it wasn't worth it apparently and this was another lesson for me to learn. I did what was best for them, and for me, helped them, if that's a sin, throw me in jail and throw away the key! Again I have learned a very valuable lesson and I am greatfull for that! I came out stronger, put things in perspective and moved on. I am fine now, I really am, at peace and still wish this person all the best, as she really needs it.
Thanks again for the support over the past few days!
xoxo

Workshoplo's and swaps

Here are 2 lo's I made for a workshop from Corinne Delis, called Finding You. I am still 2 lo's behind now so I will focus on that the upcoming days so I am all caught up next week! I have put the journaling behind the picture of the second lo by the way.




This is a lo I made for Eldi, for a photoswap september at scrapfever


This is a lo Mariska made for me for that same photoswap. It's so much fun swapping photo's and getting totally different lo's back! Hope we will keep this up for a long time!!!

loads of pics

Hi!!!
So today I finished a mini-book about our visite to the Zoo last month. I really like how it turned out, not exactly what I wanted but it's ok for me! It's a booklet they made at craft tv weekly last week. Don't you just love those little shows? Well I do anyway. Now I am working on LO's for the workshop of Corinne Delis which is hard to do but again very therapeutic. Tomorrow I will place some lo's from swaps I did, great fun too!!!

Love of my life

This Lo has been on my desk for almost a week now and I finally finished it! Again with the lovely MME papers! They are just so pretty! And so is my sweetie!!! I love him to pieces really! Monday and Tuesday he will be in Belgium and I will really miss him like crazy! I will probably stare at his pic (or this lo) for 2 days (ok I am not that bad but just to give you an idea!)
