This week I was going from one dinner to the next and in between some lunches! Crazy! It started with a casual dinner at my friends place on Monday night, then going out for dinner with friends on Wednesday for my birthday, going for our regular meal on Thursday after...

Wow, within one week I created a staggering 19 Christmas cards! I think I mostly surprised myself with this figure. Another two weeks like that and I would be done already. Sounds good in theory, but I doubt I will be able to repeat this record any time soon. I...

This week I tried myself on a “real” scrapbooking page, not one that will be hidden in my art journal. I was wanting to try a technique whereby you create a raised pattern on your page. Without any plan I just started off selecting a page and a stencil and...

After doing a couple of scrapbooking layouts and the beyond the page project, I started creating some cards again last Sunday. I had my lovely friends Vada and Linda over and together we crafted through the afternoon. At the beginning I struggled a bit – as...

I have been busy crafting last week and because I didn’t do my house work on Saturday, as originally planned, I was running out of time and didn’t even write my weekly blog. I have been doing some more scrapbooking in my art journal. I am now moving on to...

During all these times doing greeting cards, I always thought scrapbooking pictures isn’t for me! And I just realised how wrong I was! Of course I had tried it and I even did a workshop with one of my favorite artists, but that was about it until last week. It...

I am back from my holidays for over a week now and I am right back in the swing of work and leisure life here. As you may have noted, I had not only a holiday from work, but also from craft, blogging, sport, writing my weekly card and everything else I am doing on a...

I am a bit late with my blog, but I was just too busy in the last days getting ready for my holiday. The main thing was to finish my presents for my family and friends. By the time this will be posted I have hopefully arrived in Germany and handed them out. Pretty...

After my mothers day notebook didn’t arrive for over four weeks I nearly forgot to blog about it. In this notebook I incorporate some scrapbooking, German sayings, some photos and because it was for my mum I wanted to make it something special. I used a lot of...

Since I don’t really like Winter I thought I should compile a list of the positive sides of Winter to help me getting through it. Here it comes – in no particular order. What I love about Winter is that I can cuddle up in bed in my big warm Winter quilt I...

Its was just a week ago since I have been to the craft show, but it feels much longer already. Probably because I have already played so much with my new toys. This year, I was not only organised with my color charts, but also knew what things I wanted to buy and what...
