I am back....

...from a weekend in Gothenburg where my mother and father in law lives. We went there mainly because we got some new tires for the car that we had bought in the city. But we also went to a small concert where my very talented BIL plays. He plays in many different bands, but for now it was the band called "Vier Brillen" which in german means "Four eyeglasses". Haha...anyway, they where really good and they had such a great time themselves and it showed.

I also snapped a photo of the DH and Chanty (the dog). They love eachother very much!

creative update:

• I have updated the "what I am making for christmas" list with links to a few new projects.
• I have listed a wishlist, as promised. (I am thinking of making some links aswell.)
• I think I am making my own challenge soon :)
• And, I have also listed some of my inspiration here on the left!

So, this is another short post...be back later!

Lisafisa challenge #2

We have these "once- a -week- fancier-café-breaks" at work. And this week the staff that had made the cockies and bread had these awesome paper napkins. I love the color and the swirls... minus the wrinkles in the scan :) So I decided that this is going to be the inspiration for the 2nd Lisafisa challenge! Have fun!

...coming up!

...so there are a few things new on the blog or coming soon!

• In the section to the right "what I am making for Christmas" is updated with links to the projects I am already finished with.
• If you scroll way down to the bottom of the main page you will find my December Planner. Ha! Right now it is kind of empty, but I will be sure to update it whenever a new event occur. Just so that you can keep track on my life :)
• I will also be adding a wishlist soon. Not for anyone to feel pressure to buy me anything, but maybe, just maybe it will insire someone else to something!
• Lisafisa challenge #2 is coming up! Please join in!
• I am going to list links to some of those inspiring women I have gotten to know through this hobby called scrapbooking. :)

But for now...have a good night!

...i am feeling...

...creative :) It is one of the most full filling feelings in the world! Maybe that is why I have changed a few things over here! And I have even scrapped tonight! This layout was meant to be a HMITM challenge, but I just couldn´t throw any more emellishments on there... :) The theme was love is and I made one part of it! Journaling says: Love is...sticking together... Which if you know my and my husbands history says a lot. (Maybe I´ll tell that story one day...)

I am so looking forward to start posting comments and share some challenge ideas and other stuff on the "suziebeezieland" I really feel honored to be a part of that!

So long for now :)

...yeah!

Inge has made the first Lisafisa challenge and I am so happy about that she made the time out of her life to make something i have a little hand in! I love it Inge!!!

5. We are going to a concert where my awesome BIL will be playing this weekend.

...sigh...off to work!

...friends...

My good friend J called me yesterday! He has been a bad boy being away from the computer and phone alot lately :) It is always nice to hear from him.

Pigled sidled up to Pooh from behind.

'Pooh!' he whispered.

'Yes, Piglet?'

'Nothing,' said Piglet, taking Pooh´s paw.

'Ijust wanted to be sure of you.'

I got to think about a little quote in "Winnie the Poohs Little book of friendship" when he called me. We have been friends for almost 10 years. Some of the time we talk or email very often, other times life gets busy and we don´t talk for awhile. But we are still the good friends that we were last time. Isn´t that quote good?!

...my take...

...at my own challenge can be seen here! Hm...I am not pleased with the result...maybe I´ll make one more!!!

...CHALLENGE!!!

...hrm...can get your attention please! :) This is the first Lisafisa challenge!

I bought this tote bag in Denmark at the Body Shop. It is cute AND it is a good cause byuing it too! Anyway I like the design and imidatly thought of having as inspiration for a lo. Wanna come play??!! You can easily post a comment with a link so I can see your creations! Have fun!!!

...I am home!

Oh my oh my...thank God I am home! It was the first of November yesterday and offcourse it started to snow. I phoned home and there we have 3 decimeters of snow and a blizzard + my husband has the tummy flu!!Blah! It started snowing and it was cold. The longer it came into the day it started to be VERY windy. We took the ferry home from Denmark at 2.30 pm and then they said that the wind blew at 15 m/s HA! 15 my A**!!! Ok, we got our preeordered food and sat down just in the front of the ship. And then it started rocking. In a matter of a half an hour most of the 1500 passengers were seasick and just throwing up everywhere, laying on the floor just past out! It was caos I tell you. AND it came to our notice the the wind blew 27 m/s. That is a storm people!!!!! I helped a coworker because she was just teriffied and that helped me o stay calm! Phu...I was nice to come into harbour I tell you!

The visit was ok. I would have rather stayed home, but that is just how I am. We vivisted one school that has specific teaching skills and one pree.school. It is always fun to see other things. The city we lived in is called Aalborg and it is so cute. It has these really neat old houses, and anyone who knows me knows I always look at houses!

I didn´t go home right away. I stayed in Gothenburg to pick up my daughter from my MIL and FIL. It was so good to see her! We hadn´t seen eachother for 6 days! :( She has had a blast offcourse, she is their only grandchild! She went to the movies twice in 2 days and watched 6 other movies at their home (they have a home cinema). And went to a kids theather and played games and well... you name it!

More to come soon!

tada!

I made the HMITM #19 challenge! I counted my brads...didn´t even have 50 to begin with :) So I went with dots! I also made some new scrapbooking layouts without a challenge!!!! What! My mojo has been gone...really gone the last month or so...so so very sad for a scrapbooker! But I hope this means that it is coming back!

sunday afternoon...

I have been a bad blogger again for a while due to life stuff and also I have been to my old hometown meeting up with 2 of my friends. I swear I don´t know what I would do without them. We can sit and talk for hours and hours and still we have stuff to say :) I am very lucky to have them in my life!

Since I was over there I slept over at my moms and that means dear husband was alone for the weekend. Poor guy he missed me :) And he was glad to see me! We went for a walk in the forrest with the dogs and we found the cat on the roof when we came back! Silly boy!

My mom has the fortune to have fast internet..hehe...offcourse I was out surfing for cool stuff all night (I am tired today :)) And I found some new stuff:

The KI blog is a good place to go for some cool inspiration and cool stuff. And if you haven´t been to their website and checked out their gallery you should stop reading now and head over there...uhm...on the other hand please stay :) I have always loved KI paper and their embellishments they are colorful and very easy to use. My favorite paper of all times happens to be KI.

Another place I have found today is the How much is too much blog also known as HMITM. They have challenges that are really cool. I think I am going to give a shot at challenge #19 which is to use 50 or more brads (!) and a BIG title. Hm...I will have to count my brads and see if I have that many at all :)

For photography inspiration I go to Tara offcourse but I have found a new favorite. She is called Meegan Littlefield (mgn on 2peas) and see takes awesome photos. I was so happy when I found her blog the other day!

This week I didn´t get Ali´s challenge in the Azine...I guess I brainfarted a little :) But I love to see the takes published although I still don´t get it :) Ali is one of the first scrapbookers I have admired. She has a way about her that is just inspiring and fresh.

Another girl that is inspiring to me is Kim I have seen her work on 2peas and it is good stuff. Last night I found her blog and found out that she is in DT for a few brands and places. Good for her! :)

I have also been browsing for Christmas gifts to make. Not that I am that poor but I like to make people things :) I went to Kaboose and they have a ton of crafts to make with your kids. Cool! I have decided that me and my daughter are going to make (or try to) snowglobes. I will make sure to take photos and update you on that :) Craftster also had some cool stuff. And I found a thread on the 2peas NSBR board about marbel magnets. I think I will try to make some of those as well.

I love christmas time. As soon as December 1st is here I am longing to take out the decorations..and confession...I do :) The lovely smells and feeling is glorious!

Well I guess that will be it for now...

Oh yes...

I am crazy! :)

fall...

I love fall...I love all things about it...but I will not talk about that here because my Cj topic is "For the love of seasons" and I will tell atleast a few of you (that are in the CJ) about that. I just wanted to upload this photo because it makes me happy :)

I will be back with a longer post later...

Just uploading
a banner I made for the messageboard :)

This is our banner from the Secret Pal Chatter on 2peas! I like it Ines .... I like it!

Just click it and you are in the midst of our Cj making process.

:)

My latest...

So this is my latest uploaded lo on 2peas. It is my take on Ali:s challenge this week. It is all about the photograpy part of our hobby called scrapbooking. I take a lot of photos all the time. That is how I do it - take a lot and delete a lot :) That is the great thing about the digital age isn´t it. I have so many favorite photos - I get a feeling coming over me that I want to just surround myself with them so I can see them all the time, you know what I mean?
What is your favorite photo? Why? Or do you have a latest uploaded lo? Link me to them!

Yep Inge!

...it is my new CJ! I really love how it turned out both outside and out. I say I cannot wait until we finally can begin this!!!


Post you later girl!

trying to upload...
