random on a saturaday morning

Do you know the dialing code to Yemen? I do! It is .967 :)
Ok, do you know how long an inch is? I do! 2,54 cm :)
Do you know how many national holidays Iceland has? I do! 21: )

Ok, I´ll stop now! I am just so in love with my new MOLESKINE planner that I bought using a GC yesterday. It is a little black book with all sorts of cool facts too. I love planners and calendars almost as much as I love bags and purses. It is an obsession I tell you! During a year I can easily change planners twice or even 3 times. How many times I change bags and purses? Countless times! I have a ton of different kinds of bags, one for each occasion.
This week I pulled out some fabulous fabric I bought last year. I am really bad at using my sewing machine, but looky what I did! I love the fabric and at least I think that the bag is cool :)

My to-do list for today:
1. Come up with something yummy for dinner.
- maybe perhaps chicken?
2. scrap! :) Makes me happy!
- do a CJ entry
- try to create some layouts for a few magazine calls
- get working on V-day cards
3. walk the dogs and take some photos of what used to be the forest
4. Write a blog entry to blog #2 :)
5. Listen to my MP3 book
6. Do laundry
7. Pea :) and read my daily blogs!
8. Hopefully come back and post some finished projects!

See y´all later!

I am back...I think!

Well, that was alot of darkness! Sweden was hit by another storm on sunday. 2 years ago we had a storm called Gudrun and it left a devestating amount of fallen trees, housholds without electricity, water and phones for months even. On the island that I live we had quite alot of trees (the island is 14 km long and 3 km wide) and we lost 10 000 trees in the last storm. As you can imagien we didn´t have many left, and the ones left are gone now. Well, not everyone, but it definatly changes the nature and what you see from place to place. I was out sunday and was heading home around 2 pm. The ferry ride was ok I guess, but then we weren´t allowed to walk home, because of the risk of the falling trees. So we (me and a neghbour) had to wait in the harbour for about an hour and then the firetruck came and picked us up. They had to take a detour and it was really emotional driving through the "forest" and see what had happened. The wind kept on blowing the whole afternoon and night. At about 6 pm we lost our electricity and the phones went dead. We were lucky, we got our electricity back after a few hours, but the phones were dead until now (tuesday). I guess this is how things are going to be in the future. We have had a frightening warm fall (not one day with snow) and it really is strange seeing green grass and flowers in January in Sweden...

On a happier note I have actually made something out of my own challenge! :) I made a card. It was fun!
