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!)

Majootjes birthday/movement

Hi!!
How is your weekend? Mine is great. I am feeling a lot better now after a few days of flu and headaches! I am still tired but hé if that's all!
Yesterday it was Majootjes birthday and ofcourse we visited! Igor was working there all day to make a fence so Aika (the dog) can't escape! He picked me up at about 2 pm and we went over there again. I scrapped her a little book called "relax" with a cd inside with relaxationmusic and exercises, an insence burner and some lovely insence. I also made a little package as a birthdayrak from scrapfever with MME paper, lace and ribbon, brads, eyelets and chipboard to make an all girlie layout about her little niece. But then she got me presents as well!!! I got 4 little boxes of brads, lovely colors and bling bling, totaly my style so thanks again Majootje! And it wasn't even my birthday! We had a great time, took some pictures and tried to put together a tv table. 2 blondes and a not so abvious description (it was a do-it-yourself package) it took us over 30 minutes to get that little thing together but we laughed a lot! Here are some pics of Aika and us! Crazy funny silly lovely soft cuddle! (and normally I am afraid of dogs!)

In the mood!

For scrapping! I again finished some lo's with wonderful new MME paper, and 1 with some flowers from BG Mellow.



These were all fast lo's, unbelievable that I could do that! I consider myself a terribly slow scrapper, but this is wonderful! Once I got the hang of it they just kept coming! So you can probably guess what I am going to do now right?

ps Yesterday I got 1 exam again and this morning mailed it back so please keep your fingers crossed for me! Hope to hear the results very soon!

New Lo!

Hi again!
This morning I started scrapping with the new MME papers that I showed earlier on and this is what I came up with! I love it and it took me a long while to finish it. All those dots you see are actually very small strass stones. This is really difficult paper but I love it! I think Angela + MME is a good match as well ;-) (click to enlarge)


I am already picking paper from my stack to make a new lo! Love this stuff and it inspires me a whole lot today! Off I go again!

Online crop

Hello!!!
Time really flies! It's already wednesday 2 pm!!

Yesterday evening we had an online crop again at a messageboard and this was the first one I actually participated in! The other ones I made afterwards. I loved the sketch and loved how it turned out as well.
I used Basic Grey Mellow which I found hard to use but I wanted to make a manly lo of Igor so I had to choose something else than pink or purple (cause that aint very manly now is it?) This is how it turned out:


Now I am working on a lo about me again (how selfish) with an old Basic Grey sheet of paper. I am kind of wanting to use my old paper as loads of new stuff is coming out this month and next! So looking forwards to the new MME!!!
I also scrapped some more cards with leftovers! So glad I didn't throw them away!
What are you up to now?

Holiday update

So here I am again! Fully enjoying our holiday, doing fun stuff, enjoying each others company, being creative together, laugh a lot and visit fun places and most of the times forget the camera! What kind of scrapper am I? I should stick it to my wrist I guess! Anyway a new week starts today and because of the weather we didn't plan anything! Which means scrapping!!!
A few days ago Corinne Delis started with her workshop "finding you" that I am in. I completed the first assignment yesterday and here it is: (sorry for the bad pic)


I also worked on my list again which I will post in a second log today! I love to see progress in such a short amount of time!
Well of I go again!
