Weekly challenge.

There are tons of challenges going on for scrappers, journallers, card makers, anyone. I'm doing this one because it's a weekly one, and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Below is my list of five things I want to do this week for me :) Enjoy coffee or tea with someone, go and see a movie with DD, write a letter and wait for a reply, use the new exercise bike and play with the cat, or at least take a nap with it.

Happy New Year.

Another year about to end. A new one about to begin. Lots of hopes and wishes, no promises or resolutions. See you in 2008!

Quick update.

We are heading home tomorrow. DD has been very happy playing with her cousins and to make things even better, she's been downhills skiing, three times. I was teasing her about becoming a ski bum and because she didn't know what it meant I told her to google it :)

While it has been fun and good, it's great to go back home. I miss my stuff :) I don't think I could ever live out of a suitcase (unless I had to).

Happy Holidays!

Dear readers, friends and relatives (not in any particular order),
Wishing you all happy holidays! After DD's school Xmas party tomorrow morning, we're off for a few days --> you can find us here! See you before New Year!

Kid art.

DD made this necklace for a friend last night. She planned the colours and the order of beads and carefully chose the centerpiece, she is so much more organised than I am :)

Another surprise from my secret friend -- toinen SATCY lähetys!

Ah, with the constant stream of bills coming in the mail, it's a pleasure to get something as sweet and cute as what my secret friend sent me: a Xmas card, a small text stamp, buttons and ribbon. Perfect! Oh and there was some candy but it never made it to the photo...

Kiitos Satcy jouluylläristä, leimasin on tosi kiva ja napit lupailevat iloisia yllätyksiä :) Rauhallista joulunodotusta sinullekin!

Absent-minded.

An ATC I made from the pretty pictures that I got from my Satcy (secret ATC friend).

Merry merry....

It's raining but DD and I started to work on Xmas cards. I bought supercute inchies from Tuscan Rose and I thought I'd do something simple with them. Well heat embossing and messing around with wire ain't simple for me....

Satcy - secret ACT friend.

I'm participating in a round of secret friends, this time with focus on ATCs. These lovely goodies came in the mail today, 20 lovely pictures in a little folder thingie and a card. Thank you!

Kiitos Satcyni, ihania kuvia ja niin kauniisti taiteltu taskunen niille!

And ATCs.

Snap.

DD broke her collarbone today as she fell down from a high slide to the icy ground. She could have easily broken a lot more than a collarbone, so whoever was watching over her, thanks :) She's sore and tired, but insists on going to school tomorrow.

ATCs.

Non-chronological.

I'm a non-chronological scrapper, and the proof is below. A layout of my DD's Christmas party at daycare in 2002. She's currently learning her lines for her first Xmas do at school....

Sweet dreams.

Another layout from the crop, an 8 x 8, the fiber got a funky swirl in the scanner :)

And more.

Here's a supersimple 8.5 x 11 layout, Bazzill cardstock. I seem to be all about lines these days!

Another layout from the crop.

One the layouts I made yesterday, the title says "silly grin". And oops, the ribbon is coming off at the edge of the page, will fix that :)

Great day.

Oh man, what a great day; meeting a bunch of scrappers, getting to see them work, see cools tools and papers and stuff, tons of inspiraton! And I finished 9 layouts (some need texts to be added) so I'm one happy scrapper!

Here are three layouts from today, they are all 6 x 6.

Preparing for a crop!

Oh my goodness, we are having a crop tomorrow! I'm just shuffling thought photos, I have an ambitious target of 12 layouts (mind you, I am doing a lot of 6 x 6 pages these says) and a couple of cards for swaps.... but most of all, I'm gonna hang out with a bunch of scrappers!

Out of town for a few days.

I'm going to visit friends and relatives for a few days. Be back on Sunday, hopefully with a bunch of treasures to share (gonna raid my sister's stash of photos).

Play with food!

My DD loves decorating cupcakes and what better theme than Halloween. Very scary, and tasty!
