262: Has it been THIS long??!!

OMG my life has been crazy the past couple of week and well I'm so proud at keeping up my project 365 blog, I kind of forgot all about my sweet o' little bloggy here! I feel so bad!!! We've had a lot of sad events happening the past few weeks, but not feeling like going in to any details... I just hope that March will be a much better month for all of us and our family!

Haven't got any big news to share, except that we found our first house to buy. But nothing is certain yet, next week we're going to have a look at the house we saw on the internet and have got an appointment to get a mortgage on Monday night. So I hope this is going to be a dream house and of course that we can affort it! Since our money changed from the gulden to the euro everything has become more difficult and well the recession isn't making it any better!

On Thursday my sweet dad turned 55 and tonight we're having a sweet party for him! :) I'm going to make alittle pastry's in a bit and going to buy a present with my little brother this afternoon. Hope we can find something, cause really this guy already has everything! LOL

Of course I'm made tons of pages the past two weeks, but not going to show them all. If you do wanna see, you can check my gallery out here. here are a few of my favorite pages...

Hope you like them :) Well gotta go for now...will be back asap and will try to keep up this blog too! :) Hugs and have a fab weekend!

261: Happy valentines day!

Yeah people it's February 14th, the day of LOVE!! Do you have any plans for today or expecting a sweet gift from you guy?? Well to be honest I don't think I'll get something sweet this year! Although I wasn't expecting something last year and then my guy, totally surprised me with these beautiful roses!! So you can imagine I was a little shocked when the doorbell rang this morning, but it was 'just' my flash defuser I ordered two weeks ago! LOL. But that's ok...we're spending time together tonight and that is what really matters to me!

Antoinette asked me if we could babysit her cute boys...after talking about it with my guy, I said yes. We didn't have anything special planned anyway, cause we're celebrating our 7 anniversary of being together on March 4t. So Antoinette and her DH can go out to diner. I did however said yes under one condition and that is that they would make a yummy candle light diner!! LOL And well her DH said, YES! He doesn't wanted to say what it is, but I know it must be good! After we've tucked in the kids, we're going to watch a movie and just relax! It's been a rough week for my guy too!!

First his little brother was missing, but turned out he was in jail!! He went with one of 'friends' to pick something up and they got arrested since that guy had stolen goods in his car! My guy warned him for several times not to hang out with that guy!! Well I can tell you last saturday has been a LONG day! We've spend lots of hours finding him and talking to the police to find him. After two hours they located the place he was at!! But gladly he came back home on Sunday! Then on Monday...

His poor dad had some kind of stroke in his brains on Monday... he went to the hospital but they send him home that day. He needed to get back the next day for some tests, but nothing specific came out. Thursday he had another stroke and they kept him at the hospital, cause they wanted to observe him for the night...finally! He's on meds now and doing a little better, but they do want to keep him for a few more days. My guy, doesn't really wants to talk about it, or maybe doesn't even want me to see he's hurting, just hope his dad recovers soon!

So enough babbling...Today I have a lot of pages to show you... Most of them I made since I'm on A5D site creative team and having so much fun already!! :)  Ok well I guess that's it for today.... Have fun on this wonderful day of love and will see you all soon! Hugs!

260: Who expected this to happen??

Well not me! Check this out...

Yeah I'm now part of the wonderful creative genius'  team over at After 5 designs!! Are you kidding me...ME?? a site team member for after 5!! Woohoo...really I'm still in total awe and so freakin' honored! This has been a dream since the site openend and I just can't believe it they picked me! Yeah! :)

After this sad week I really needed something to cheer me up and this was it... Although I am kind of worried right now! Last night my guy went over to see his little brother (24 yrs. old), to get the keys from the van. He uses the van for this job today, but... His little brother is no where to find! He called him several times and so did I, but he's not picking up. They already went to the police last night, to check if maybe he got arrested... You just never know! But really I have no clue what to do or where to go find him. This sucks and thought you had it all last week...

Now I'm quickly going to show you my pages I did last week and then I'm off to my SIL and see if we can do anything to find my BIL...    

See ya soon!

259: I long for spring!!!

Anyone else here?? I'm getting tired of it being so freakin cold and just want to sun. It has been shining the past two days when I got up and it made me feel so much better. It is still cold, like 2 degrees or something, but not freezing anymore!

Project 365 is going great, I made it through January and now on the Feb. :) It does take up a lot more time then I expected and well this pitty old blog is getting kind of neglected. I told myself to post here at least once a week. Well I'm way pass that this time and as you can see I'm still wearing my 'happy new year' header... Hold on, going to make a new one right away! There you go...all spring/summery! Now bring on srping! :)

Last night I went out to diner with colleagues and had a great time..you can read all about it and see photos on my 365 blog! :) Today we're going to clean out the shed. Last week we did two rooms in the house and now it's time for the shed. Cause it's a complete mess and you could say a bomb exploded there. Last Sunday we threw away 3 garbage bags full with things we don't use anymore and don't want to keep. All other things we put in away in boxes and then there's a huge pile of stuff we want to sell. We're going to a flea market on Feb 22nd and hope we can leave everything behind there that isn't sold! LOL I know there are lots of things in the shed we need to throw away and well also lots of things we can sell! Since we're looking to buy our house, I want everything to be gone by then. By then the only thing we need to move are boxes and kind of like the idea. And well the cleaning out felt great!!

here are some pages I made last week... made a couple more, but can't show you just yet! :) First of my colleagues little girl Anouk, took this photo at daycare last week...

Here's a RAK I made for Shayenne and her cute girl. Shayenne started her own little business to scrap for others. I helped her out with the english translation, you see her blog here

Then another RAK for Kristen... used Jofia's new kit here and love how it turned out! Oh yeah also used Jofia's new kit to make my new header! :)

Then a page about me and my camera...love how this turned out and as soon as I saw Paislee press' new kit called: photogenic, I knew it would be perfect. Yesterday this page got mentioned in the GSO thread at DST!

Well gotta go have some breakfast and then clean out the shed! Enjoy your sunday and will see you somewhere in the upcoming week! :)  Hugs!
