this could be me singing...

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late and to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair


When the head of state didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
When computers were still scary and we didn't know everything


Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair


When popstars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mum and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail


Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair


When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face


Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

I am back...


...from creating! I have 5 layouts finished in the last 2 hours!!! Yeah! This one is for the third Lisafisa challenge! I used the colors as inspiration and actually took out the sewing machine :) .
I have the others over

...crazy people!



First up; thank you so much for the congratulations on my last post! It is awesome to have people like you come on here and congrate me :) Makes me happy! And yes it is an awesome feeling to be able to say that I am being published aswell. At first I was happy the way you know when you jump up and downs and really want to just burst out in a good musical tune :) But I didn´t because i was at work at the time...but I did call my dear husband!I am looking forward to that!


We had some fun visitors this weekend; my husbands brother and his girlsfriend. They are such a funny cuple: she is a "tree-hugger" as my husband says (biologist) and he is a physic major. Odd as can be but very fun to be around. On the ferry ride over today we had a little fun as you can see :) haha...who won?


I am behind on my Christmas projects, and I am making up new ones all the time :) This week I have to finish the advent calender for my daughter since the first is on friday. I am planning to make it out of matchboxes where I will place either a small gift or a small note telling her an activity or where she can go to collect a larger gift. This way I can slide in the actual note the day before, when I really know if I am up to for example cookie baking or not :) Am I clever or what!!! :)


I am really itcing to go create something now, so I am leaving you with a new favorite of me and my husband...I love him very much!

Lisafisa challenge #3


...And I promise I will do it this time!!!!


This is my journal where I write everything in my creative life. It can be ideas, websites, lists (lots and lots) or anything else you can think of. Iove it so much, not only because it holds my ideas and inspiration, but it is so nice to look at aswell! :) Isn´t it?!
Have fun! I will...

...tada...



...here is Inges fabulous take on the second Lisafisa challenge! I L O V E it!!! It is su funky and fun, isn´t it! Thanks again Inge for doing it!


Otherwise I have really been in a low point creatingwise...but yesterday my daughter went home with a friend after school and I had a short day at work, so I rented a movie, bought some candy (!) and scrapped a while! I did my CJ entry do Ines CJ. And started on an idea from
Lisa McGarvey (will share later). And this one:


My daughter is such a rocksuperstar right now. Before she was all pink and princesses, but now she listens to rockmusic and headbangs in the car :) I love it!

Share!
