I'm overwhelmed


I opened the eight presents which found their way to my home through a birthday swap. And I can only say that I'm overwhelmed. Great things, much creativity, many colors, many matching things, many things I have never seen before, some things that I am familiar with and there are overall things that screams to me to be scrapped. And to that comes 8 nice birthday cards in so many different styles that I just smile and continues to smile. I love every single corner of everything. Thanks! I cannot say it in a better way. You folks rock and you rock my birthday.

I will of course put in pictures here later on. Perhaps I will await the three missing presents that are to come. Realise, there are three more presents to open. It really feels like being a little girl again and I do forget that I am starting to get really old now. That's an amazing feeling. :)

I also want to say thanks to you who have congratulated me here and there. Thanks!

It's just...

about now that I open the first parcel. Just one. Only one. I promise. ;)

This is strange

There are some PIFs to come here. I am planning to get one year older first and that's tomorrow. After that I will see to it to arrange a number of PIFs here.

And... you know what. I missed a PIF from July from Pysselpetra. I just found out about it. How strange isn't that?

Playful and free

and showing a true blooming creativity.


This page is made for Elisabeth's august challenge who says to use a serie of at least three photos and handwritten journaling. I have scrapped these photos before. It's seldom I use a serie of photos so when I found these printed out in the wrong format for that other page, I decided to use them. He is making cards for valentines day. These photos are actually taken before I started to scrap again after some yeard of break. That means that we were doing paper crafting without me scrapping. :)


I sometimes envy him since he is so free in what he does as compared to us who have lived for a while. This envy explains the long title. :) The handwritten story is written all over the photos. The color matching for this page is a bit flipped out, but... i just felt for doing it this way. To add those flowers to represent that blooming creativity and using those soft pink and soft blue/turqouise papers. I was thinking about stopping there, but I just had to create and add all those small decorations there since that makes the page me. I'm sorry for not knowing if we have any of those hearts - the ones created in the photos - laying around. If I had known where to look I would definitely adhered at least one of those too...

It's Emmy's birthday today

I say congratulations and tell you that she hosts a lottery in her blog.

Baby powerful!

We Dare You week 35 is about those small, small, tiny things which have lead to considerable changes in life. I wrote on the forum that we could scrap about small toes which effect when you can start to entitle yourself a parent, a paper for admission here or there, an employment certificate here or there, a decision to move across the whole country due to some reason, a splinter in the foot which caused an infection, a ring which is put on your finger when you promise fidelity for the rest of your life, the look which says it all at the same time as it makes your knees shiver and so on.


I was thinking about doing something else before I realised that he is and most likely will continue to be what has lead to the greatest changes in my life. I remember that I knew it would be huge to become a mother. Now I know that there are no way you can know in advance how huge it is. There are no words in the world to describe...


From the kit are the letterstickers including the two x, the Bam Pop frame, the HS journaling paper, the HS photo corner and that small pink checkered paper piece which the Hello Kitty sticker came with. I had used all a so I went over a 8 with the scissor to form some kind of a. Anyone against scrapping a pink page about my precious little boy? ;)

Nice items #17- Knock on wood

Yes, I know

I missed the weekly challenge again. My brain is occupied with existential questions and answers and gigantic projects so... that's just the way it is right now.

I will perhaps get back later on with how it will be.
