Journaling challenge part 1 and 2.

Yep, Birgit and Anita set up a new challenge. This time the challenge is about journaling.
The thing I love and like about scrapbooking is to capture a moment, an event, a funny pronouncing (from my kids) and all the other things which are worth to be looked after.
A little while ago when I was at a crop at Birgit she advised me to make an "inspiration" folder on my computer. And I did and it's already filled with lots of beautiful LO's and with poems etc. etc. I think you recognize the feeling when you come home from work or from a meeting that you have to clean your head. I "clean my head" by talking or to write it down. But when I visit all the nice and talented scrapblogs I clean my head by putting a selection of all the nice things in my inspiration folder. And I hope to use (parts of) them for my own LO's in the future.
One of my favourites quotes is "LIVE LOVE LAUGH". I'm trying to find the right pictures for it. But I'm definitely going to use that one! And another is "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." I really don't know which person said these words but I think it is true.
I can't remember I did something huge what changes my way of being me. But what I do know is that what happenes to you makes you YOU.
That was part 2 of the challenge. And that brings me at part 1 of the challenge.
When I first read about the challenge I had to think right away about Twan and what he said to me on last Friday.
Fleur wanted to sleep at her niece Iris. So Twan decided that our other niece (Niek) could come over to sleep at our place. I said: 'OK! I'm going to make Niek a nice bed.' Twan completed me and said: 'Mom, you can use the "tramas".' What he meant was that I could use the "matras" (mattress). He turns more things upside down or inside out or backwards. He puts his shirt most of the time backwards on. Or he writes his name backwards (that is allowed when you are in "groep 1" :)).
That was my entry for part 1 of the challenge. I'm wundering from who he inherit this funny speciality ;).
