New video workshop

Did you check out The Creative Buzz???? They show a video how to emboss a flower. Have fun looking at the video :).

Sweet Girl

The photo on this LO was taken by Anita the other week. Anita took many photo's of our family. It was really nice working with her. She has so many different ideas!! They all turned out very very well.
Fleur also loves this pic, because she wears her favorit hair ribbon. (She wants to wear it almost every day but isn't allowed from her mom :) ).

Thank you for your nice comments on my new banner. I am also very pleased with it.

Have a nice weekend.

Photoshoot and more.

Today was a very lovely day.

This morning I visited Birgit for a crop. I didn't finish my LO but we talked a lot, had much coffee and.......

The afternoon we spend time with Anita Mundt in a garden near our village. In Eenrum you can find De Kleine Plantage, it is a gardenshop with lots of different plants and nice gardenfurniture. Behind the shop there is a nice garden were we took family pictures. You can find two of them here.

It was really nice doing this. We enjoyed it all very much.

After the photoshoot I drove to Eelde to visit a museum of musicinstruments. I visited it with my colleagues from the office. The owners are very enthousiastic people and they can tell nice stories. It is also a nice place for kids (schoolexcursion). The kids can make their own instrument. That's fun I think.

Thanks for looking.

Familyweekend

Hi there, did you enjoy the sun? We did!!! We went to a camping in Aalten and had a lovely time.
We camped with our tent. This weekend we organised a familyweekend with all the relatives from hubbie Hans. With 34 people in age from 0 till 70 we had a wonderful time. Thank you all so much!!!!!

My final journaling for the Creative Buzz challenge.

This is my entry for the last assignment for the journaling challenge.

Have a nice week.

Journaling challenge part 3.

When we (Hans or I) ask Fleur and Twan what they want to become in the future, they say different things all the time. When we come home from a visit to my SIL in Gouda, Fleur definitely wants to become a physiotherapist. That's my SIL her profession. But when Fleur just had her hair cut she wants to become a hairdresser.

Twan is in school working about the post-office. When you ask him at this moment what he wants to be when he grows u he will answer: a post-office servant. But when the boyfriend of my sister worked at our house to make a door (or two) he wants to become a "workman".

The journaling on an LO for Fleur would be something like this:
"Als ik later groot ben wil ik graag kapster, fysiotherapeut of juf worden."
(When I grow up I want to be a hairdresser, physiotherapist or a teacher.)

And for Twan it would be like this:
"Als ik later groot ben wil ik graag werkman worden, net als papa of postbode."
(When I grow up I want to a workman, just like dad or a post-office servant.)

It's nice to write these things down, these precious words need to be remembered.

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 ;).
