walking on sunshine

i looked out the window this morning and saw a blue sky and the sun shining. i took a break from sightseeing today and care for the kids all day. which was a very good choice since it was so much fun at the playground and park with lots of laughter, sun and icecream!

i will try to get together a "1o on thursday" post tomorrow!

a little hello and a freak out :)

we are having a good vacation down here in budapest. it is fun to visit a country that i have been to so many times before as a child, but never before as an adult. the weather could have been a little bit better, but today was gorgeous! we are real tourists wandering the streets and taking photos. no one misses us as we are 9 people and there is always at least one fussy kid among us :) me and my daughter did some shopping today and as we love shopping we are extra happy today :) we did walk down the famous vaci utca but only bought a souvenir since it is an expensive street to shop at :) since we do have 4 kids with us , we do spend quite some time down in the park so that they can play. there is a very nice playground just where we live!

in other news...

i just about freaked out down here in budapest, when i checked my bloglines and ez had picked one of my photos in the inspriation daily feature!!!

scrapbook sunday

i can´t tell you excited and nervous i am for the trip we are taking tomorrow! it is so strange, because i have been on my share of trips and travels before...

before i leave though, i wanted to share the 2 layouts that i managed to crank out this week.

i had to capture the delight and hard work of prepping for an photo exhibition. i have seen so many lovely layouts with white writing, so i had to give it another try.

i did make a few layouts before with the white pen i got from my very best mel ♥ they have worked really good.

dixon loves his water and he was thrilled to see that the lake had opened up from the ice. maybe this page is a little to simple?

i also made 2 birthday cards, one for my mom and one for my mother in law. i rarely make cards but these were actually quite fun to make!

ok, i´ll see you soon, maybe i can post from the trip?!

it is such a wonderful day!

the birds are chirping, the sun is shining and it warms me up while i do alittle last minute cleaning before i leave to gothenburg and my family. i wish i could add some spring birds chirping to the blog today :) instead i will leave you with a few springish photos of mine and wish you all spring and a happy easter weekend!

project: spring wreath

i thrifted this pre-made willowtree wreath at a second hand shop for like 1 dollar. i wanted to hot it up a bit! i wrapped green yarn around the wreath making a little bit like a lawn :) then i had these fabric cherry blossoms that i chopped of. i almost took out the hot-glue gun to attach it, but i ended up sewing a few stitches around the stem with the same yarn. when i was done, i thought that it needed something more...i then remembered i had a few pearls laying around. i stitched them to the yarn too.

this wreath is making it´s way to my mother in law tomorrow! i love that i am blessed with an eye that sees beyond an ordinary willowtree wreath at the bottom of a bin in a thriftshop :)
