here comes the sun!



i am so going to use this as inspiration! i found it through poppytalk.com

silly sally

sally (our cat) might possibly be the strangest cat i have known. i guess since she was found outside in a bad shape as a kitten anything might have happened to her before that. don´t get me wrong, we love her dearly and she is a delight to be around, she just does a bit odd things :) this is just a collection of her sleeping arrangements :)






she and dixon are really the best of friends and that is so cool. ofcourse she is in the scrapbooks too.

gone fishing!

i wish i was going here. but my moms house is just fine! i have set up a few posts so that i can keep you entertained while i am gone :)

more dandelions and a hybrid

i guess i am a hybrid scrapper. i often use my computer to either for journaling or to print elements. for this next one i did use my computer...



the story: well, just my love for these flowers...

the goods: first i made my 6*4 photo into a polaroid using my poladroid tool on my computer and printed it. checked where i wanted it on my background and then put the background paper in my printer. for my title (maskrosor)i used the font called Hawaii lover that i downloade for free. the journaling is another free dowload called pussycat snickers.
printed it all out and added the photo with some masking tape that i thought matched the feeling of the layout. a ribbon, butterflies and a scenic route tag and it was all done!



the story: the easiest way to jazz up any meal: fresh veggies and fruit :)

the goods: well prima flowers and some scrap patterned paper and a butterfly :)

ps. i have to share these thrifty decorating links! first a home filled with fleamarket stuff ♥ and next ideas for your fleamarket finds!

simplest gift idea ever!

hey people here i am going to share she simplest, easiest and quite possibly the sweetest gift idea ever! good eh?! ok, here we go.



i love books, especially childrens books. so, i have bought a few of my favorites and will be able to get out about like 10 or 15 gifts out of it! isn´t that good in our economic disaster of a world!



first, i want to say that i don´t especially love to be cutting into any book, but as i know that this one is not a first edition or anything i feel more ok. i simply trace around the glass of a frame or a picture that i want to frame and cut it out.



frame. gift wrap. repeat if needed. done! voila! i have done this plenty of times and it is a hit every time. among others i framed 3 images from a book and then gave them as a joint gift with the acctual book.

there you go!

ps. have you seen the new my minds eye lines? wow!

i ♥ dandellions :)



dear friends, i am so sorry that i have been away from the blog alot lately, but things have come in the way of writing and posting here. i have been online but more with a held back mode. i have been seeking inspiration, loveliness and good stuff everywhere and these photos and the memory makes me very happy. on our way back home from school and work last week i spotted this lovely dandelion field and bribed my daughter to have a mini photo shoot right away. well, as you see she agreed :)






dixon and sadie came along and had a wonderful time with us. i tried to rake some photos of my daughter and dixon...



but i guess sadie felt left out :)




i love this! i think it seems like she is flying :)




is was a wonderful break and it all made me feel really good!

this is it for right now but i have a few posts set up for the next cuple of days!

getting crafty in no praticular order...

an apron in the making :)




Last June we made some rhubarb leafs in cement and i decided to try to make some more. so now they lay there in the dirt and getting ready :)



i got out some scrap yarn and crochet this clutch bag :) i think it is so cute and i already know exactly what i am going to wear with it :)



i have also been so inspired to make a blanket with these lovely squares! i just googled for instructions and it wasn´t all that difficult really :)



Anna made a lovely blanket!

i realize this is a very longterm project, but i am happy that i can leave it and just pick it up when i am ready to.

some scraps ( i will be back with more info)




these color combos will be part in an upcoming project :) and they make me happy!




and finally a birthday present for one of my daughters girlfriends that is having a birthday party this weekend :)
