118: We're almost out....

But first a couple of little things...Our trip to the zoo with our
second cousin Sidney yesterday was great...Nice weather and saw some
lovely animals. Although some were a little lazy, LOL! Here are a
couple of photos...

After we got home from the zoo, needed to empty my camera disk...
So I turned on my computer....Then it gave me this error that the
system32 file was somehow missing or corrupt and it wouldn't start!!
What??? NOW??? I tried everything to fix it, with no luck...The only
thing left to do was reinstall windows back on and loosing all my
programs, bookmarks & more...

Really I don't know where to start and so glad I've got all my
scrapping stuff, fonts & psp program files on my EHD...Phew! I
think I also have a back-up of photo manager somewhere....But
really did this have to happen now??? Only installed a few things
back on here, the rest we'll do after our vacation


So Mallorca here we come...Will be back August 30th!!

We both really need this vacation, but will sure miss my PC and
scrapping...Maybe I'll check in here somewhere during our vacation,
but we'll see!! Ok sweeties, see you all when we get back and will
miss al of you!!! Big, big hugs!!

117: Only two more days...

And then we´ll be heading got the sunny Mallorca...Yesterday we did
a lot of cleaning around the house and Abdel finally started packing.
I´ve got my suitcage ready for 4 days...LOL. Ok it´s not done, but
all the clothes I´m not wearing anymore are in there :-) Our beach
towels and more...We´re going to the capital city Palma and are
planning to drive around the Island. Abdel´s brother lives there,
so we´ll be staying with him a week and probably end up in a hotel
the other week. Not sure if he´s letting us go though...LOL. We´ll
see. Our plain leaves at 13:40 and then it´s a three our flight...
I so can´t wait...is it wednesday yet???? :-)

So scrapping...
I did have a little time in between all the cleaning and packing...
Ok to be honest I saved once and went on with it 2 hours later. My
pc, wasn´t really working with me and yes, I had other things to do!
So here it is...photos are from last week, down by the dyke. I made
this for me..to rememeber m´self to RELAX...LOL! Cause really I´m
getting a little more nervous by the hour :-) Well it has been 6
years since I last went on a airplain...


I didn´t have time to play the praise as I usually do, so there aren´t
as much comments as usual...So if you feel like praising...LOL

going to wake up my sweety. Have breakfast and then we´ll be heading
for the zoo in Arnhem. She had her birthday in July and didn´t know

before we leave...Oh did I tell you....

My vacation started yesterday!!!!!!!
My time is finally here...Like I said, FINALLY!! Most of my
friends and family already went and my Inlaws are still in
Morocco. So yes, I so can't wait for us to leave this wednesday.
But too much left to do...Cleaning, packing, laundry stuff,
make sure my sweet fishies get a temporarily home and have
some other fun things planned. Yes, real fun!!! LOL

Like today we're having a baby shower for my sweet cousin Sylvia,
yes the one from the shoot. So this again is gonna be a quick post!
Have to go shower in...what, half an hour!?! Time is flying by!
Have to get some grocery's after that, but nothing big...I
really wanted to empty my freezers, but I think we're not even
close...LOL. Tomorrow we're going to clean the house is fast mode.
My cousin, his wife and little girl are coming here for dinner.
I told him, we will be eating left/overs and stuff. But he was ok
with that :) Lucky me...LOL. My 2nd cousin Sidney is then staying
with is and we're going to the zoo with her the next day. Then we
only have tuesday and wednesday morning left to do the other stuff.

Busy huh?? I know and you think your vacation started...Not! LOL
Last night my brother and his GF celebarted their b/day and got
home a little late...So yes, I slept in. I woke up at 9, really
tired, but then I thought of all the things I needed to do...
Then I kind of start freakin' out and usually that's when I get
out of bed...well not this morning. I told myself...you'll have
time, don't worry and there I went...Woke up at 11:30. Ok yes, so
now I really have to get out! :) But feel GOOD!!!

Ok so my pages...I thought their would be more then one, but can't
show you yet...hihi. You'll have to wait untill monday, you're
saying what??? Sorry can't tell you much about it, other then it's
going to be fun!!

So here it is, made for Nancy's guest CT...Last sunday we went for a
long drive over the dyke nearby. In a flash we spotted this stork's
nest....O ff course I had to go take a closer look and took these
photos...Credits can be found here


Ok all my sweeties have to go...eat breakfast...uhm lunch-brunch or
whatever you want to call it! LOL Have a great day and will see you
back here, hopefully soon!!! Hugs!

115: Yup, I´m here...

I wanted to write my blog yesterday, but due a little mistake
from our planner, I had to work. And last night I really didn´t
feel like bloggin´....

Only 1 more workday left...
Yoohoo, so tomorrow is my last day of work before out vacation!!
I´ve been looking forward to this for months...but you probably
knew that...LOL. So today is my weekly day off and there are lots
of things I need to do...So I made a little to-do list.

I know you want to see this...cause I made with my own awsome custom
font!!!! It´s here and I love it...Would love to hear what you think
of it. Made by the lovely Darcy Baldwin and gift from Carinpixels!


So yes, there´s probably more to do, but heck...I can´t remember.

Today´s my little brother Birthday
So sweety, congratulations to your 22nd birhtday...Boy, you´re getting
old!! LOL. Kiki (his GF) had her birthday July 1st and so they´re
celebrating it together, tomorrow night at my parents´ house.
He and his GF just got back from a Greece vacation and can´t
wait to see the photos and hear their story´s....

They´re back!!
My parents that is...Sure missed them and going over to them when I
finished half od my to/to list :-) They were suppose to go to Italy,
but been all over, but not to Italy...LOL. They stayed in France,
Luxembourg, Swiserland and Austria. So glad they´re home! :-)

What else???
Well... made some pages, did some online shopping...But looking at the
time I see half my day is gone!! The only thing I did was fold some
laundry, did a little bit of cleaning around the house and made one
page...So really, you have to bare with me and I´ll promise I will
be back soon...With my pages, a new signature (in my own font off course)
and lots of other great stuff!!!! Oh, yeah the photos from my preggie
shoot!...Ok I´ll show you a couple right now :-)


My sweet cousin Sylvia...the subject!! :-)



My sweet auntie Yvonne and her girl! :-) Almost same size bellies! LOL


Looks at this big momma! She´s due at the ned of this month...



Sylvia and her BF Peter...I know they´re gonna be great parents!!

I about the shoot..I think I made a mistake by using a dark gret background
for this and as you can see the light wasn´t clearly good for this!
I edited some of the photos and also tried to make her stretch marks a
little less...Would love to hear what you think of these... :-)

Ok sweety´s gotta go now! Will see ya soon!!! Hugs!

114: Ok, really....I should be outside!!

I think summer has finally start over here...Next weeks weather
looks great! Sunny and NO rain at al...Well, you never know off
ourse, but so far, so good!! It´s now almost 14:00 and the
weather is like 30 degrees. I like it! So really, why am I
still sitting over here...My sweety is in the showers now
so when he´s done, it´s my turn! :-) Really have no idea
what we´re going to do...but we´ll see!! Anything outside is
good! right??

I think my earinfection is gone...well, not dizzy anymore so
that´s a good thing!!

Preggy photoshoot
At the end of this month my sweet cousin Sylvia is expecting her
first little baby ....?? Yes, still not telling you guys what it´s
going to be...I do know, you know!! LOL. So I promised her to do a
shoot before that. And so we meet up last night. My parents are
still on vacation, so decided to do it over here. Made them some
tortilla´s, did her make and got started...It was a lot of fun and
the photos turned out ok. Can´t show you yet, b/c of the bad light
I think I need to edit a lot of those...Will see what I can do about
that tonight :-)

Some Lo´s
two that is...the first one are my mom and my great-grandma. I love
this photo especially when my told me thay had such an special
relationship!! Really like how this one tunred out :-)
Credits can be found here

The 2nd is one of my friends´ little girl Caitlin...really this
little girly is about 4/5 months odl and still haven´t been there
to visit them...So after talking for a bit we decided to meet up
after our vacation. Instead I pormissed her to make some yummy LO´s
for them! :-) Credits can be found here
Well, posting this page here, reminds me of this yummy new kit from
Sara Amarie, wich deputed in the store yesterday...Called ´Candy

Well actually this is MORE candy wrappers...She has made the candy
wrapper for the sweet shoppe quaterly assortments. And decided to
make this yummy add-on for it!! can´t wait to scrap with it again!

Ok, not it´s time for my shower...One more thing: there was an CT/
guest CT from some great designer I like!! So I tried applying for
a guest spot somewhere this year...hen I checked my mail this

Have a great day and hope it will be filled with sun!!! Hugs!

113: awsome diginews...lots!!!

But first let me tell you how I feel...My dizzyness is almost
over, finally!! This didn´t really freaked me out, but the fact
not knowing when this will pass...I hate it! I stayed home from
work, cause I don´t think it will be responsible to work with
little kids when you feel dizzy, right?? What if I would pick
a little baby up, get dizzy and fall down...well, you just never
know, right?? Since I slept through the yesterday i didn´t fel
asleep untill 4 A.M...and my eyes openend up at 10:00...So not
much of a good sleep, so maybe I´ll got to sleep for an hour
this afternoon...We´ll see!

Onto my awsome diginews...
I´ve been RAK-ed yesterday....TWICE!!!!!!
First by the lovely Rachel Young...well, not really Rak-ed, but
kaboodled! She saw I had her cool color bead alpha on my
wishlist and Rak-ed me with those...Really I just love alpha beads
and these are the cutest, I´ve ever seen!!!


I really love these and had to use them right away last night...
I would love to show you my page...but not really statisfied, so I
will have another looksy when I´m done here...

Then the next RAK and let me tell you this is a huge one!!!! Remember
DST´s 1st birthday party...Well I attented a chat and Darcy was our
sweet host. I´ve been wanting to have my own handwriting in a font.
So after the chat was over I stayed there with the lovely Carin
(Carinpixels) and some others to chat! Well, we also chat on hello
once in a while and let me tell you she´s really one of the most
generous persons I know I digiland. So she said, with a joke that
she was gonna buy me my own font...Really, I thought she was kidding
...NOT!! So last night while browsing DST, she PM-ed to get on hello.
And before I realized it she had send me this file...Yes, My own
custom font!! Really could there be any other more awsome gift then
this?? Uuuhm, NO!!! I was so excited and still am...Can´t wait to get
started on writing it...Although I need me some graph paper first!!!
Well, guess what??...Abdel has all the cards in his pocket...so darn!!
Why, boy..I already called him, told him to bring them over, but don´t
think he´s going too...LOL.

Well anyways....Carin, Thanks from the bottom of my heart and
really have no words for this..like I already told ya! So if there´s
ever anything I can do for you...please let me know!! Well,
I know there´s one thing. And so sad I can´t help them out with it.
They bought this caravan a couple of weeks ago and last night some guys
who thought they were funny, trashed it!! I feel so bad for them...
cause they´re suppose to go on vacation with it next week...Really,
I wish my dad was here...I´m sure he would´ve helped them out!!!
So Carin, I really hope everything turns out ok and the insurence
company can help you guys...If not I´ll come over and thrash those
boys!! I hate such people!!

then there are two pages, left to show...
The first one is Milan...Karen´s little bloy...Took these photos at
daycare last tuesday...so cute! Really love how this turned out!!
Credits can be found here

The 2nd one, I made for Nancy´s guest CT...her comic book frames are so
awsome and versatile..I love them!! I scrapped some photos from our
vacation to Morocco last year. We took these by the waterfalls in Ifrane.
This place is really beautiful and can´t wait to go there again...
Credits can be found here

That´s all for now...I´m gonna look around the house to find some money,
LOL. I really want to get started on my font!! We have this piggy bank,
but have to break it to open it :-) Mmmm, what to do?? LOL

Ok ladies have a great day and will see you back here tomorrow!

112: Ok, I feel a little better now...

Knowing what is causing this dizzyness. I have some sort of ear
infection that is causing this unstability. I´m still dizzy
though, but relieved knowing what it is...He did gave me any
meds., he said to use nose spray and keep rest. Yes, I know
I should be sitting on the couch or in bed...but that´s just
not me... :-)

So I´ll start posting about all the things I wanted to talk
about earlier!

My mom & dad
Or like how I always call them: mamseltje & paps or papje :-)
Last friday the 28th they were married for 30 years. yes 30!!
I´m so proud of them and they are both very special to me &
my little brother melvin off course. They are the best exsample
to us when it comes to love!! My dad has his own garage & car
showroom...They used to both work in my dad´s bussiness, yes 24
hours together! I really don´t know how they did that!! :-)
When my dad got up he always brought my mom a cup of tea and
a kiss...went to work and when we mom got there, she always
gave him a kiss. Then they both went to lunch at home and
kissed. And then again when they left for work again...Just
let me tell you, there was a lot of kissing going on...LOL!

But then my mom had a really hard time with loosing her mom,
going into menopause and having some troubles with someone
from the garage. That´s when she decided not to go back there
and has found herself another job about a half year ago. She´s
really loving her job and glad she overcame her troubles!

They always learned us to talk about everything; feelings,
troubles or just things you had to say! To friends & especially
lovers. They have been trough a lot and still going strong.
So like I said..the best exsample us kids can get, right??

When I was in puberty, my mom and I couldn´t always get along.
Well, I won´t go into details, but let me say we had a lot of
fights when I was younger. My puberty started early, so I guess
she had a lot to deal with. And to be honest, I was bad!! well,
not all the times, but I knew how far I could go! Now-a-days
I think we have an great relationship and I thank her for that!
In my eyes she wasn´t always fair, but like they always say when
you´re younger...You´ll thank for doing this when you get older!!
Well, you see...I just did!!!! Love you mom!

They´re now on vacation and my dad just called, asking how we´re
doing...He felt bad that I feel like I do and told me as always
he loves me...And off course so did my mom after talking to her for
a few minutes. Love you guys too and would have no idea what to
do without you guys!!!!!!!

Off course I made them a page>>>>Credits can be found here

On to a lot of diginews...
The first and the best news...nancy Comelab asked me if I wanted
to be her guest for August...Who me?? Yes, yes, yes!! I´ve been
wanting this forever...she rocks!! I´m not sure if she´ll ever
get rid of me...LOL. Her stuff is just amazing and so special!!
After she asked me, we´ve been pm-ing over and over for 20 minutes
...she´s the sweetest! I registered at the team forum and started
scrapping right after I got home! :-)
Here´s my first page for her and also made this for the challenge
at her blog...credits can be found here

The next thing...remember my homegarden heritage page from last
saturday...I found out yesterday that Lo was picked as layout of
the day at gottapixel...yoohoo. 2nd month in a row!! cool huh??

Then today is DST´s big day...Exactly one year ago, they openend
the doors to digiscrap heaven!! Really I so love that place and
all the ladies are the sweetest. The gallery and all the talented
ladies always inspire me. And I´m sticking there till the end!!!
So sweet ladies and espcially Shannon and her beloved dst daddy...
Congratulations on this big day!!! If you have the time, make sure
to go over there...there are lots of fun challenges and the new
newsletter is out to, full with yummy things!! :-)

then....
- Gina Miller opened her new store is also celebrating her store´s
first birthday, witha 20% off sale till the 6th.
- DST goldmember kit jsut came out
- Jen wilson is having an awsome w/onesday sale..all her element
pack for only 1$...YOU HAVE TO GO THERE!!!!

Ok sweeties, have to go take some rest now...will be back to visit
my sweet community members! Have a great DST day!!! Enjoy! Hugs!!

111: what´s wrong??

I was suppose to write this posts about my sweet parents, who
were married for 30 years last friday. I wanted to tell you guys
about how special they are to me and my little brother off
course :-) I also wanted to tell you ladies some awsome digi-
news, however...

The reason why I´m not going to, is that I feel really crappy!!
I´ve been having a cold since sunday and when I woke up this
morning I felt dizzy and unbalanced...and I still do!!! I really
have no idea on what to do...Should I call the doctor or not??
Sometimes I get the feeling of throwing up, but it´s not coming.
I did some googling, but to be honest...everything´s just
frightning. Last year I did have had panic attacks, but this is
nothing like that. I´m not scared of dying on this, but what is
it??? I feel really unsecure right now and wanna cry! But I know
if I´ll do that...I will feel more crappy!!! Please tell me,
what would you do???

I usually call my mom, but she´s on vacation and so is the rest of
my family & inlaws. I can call Abdel, but I know he´s having a
buys day at work and don´t want to bother him....

I think I´m just goin back to bed... :(
Edit, edit...Just called the doctor and can see him in an hour!
