looky what I made :)

I am so damn crafty :)

I will be on sick leave for 3 more weeks and things are going to change around here (as in my life). Being creative in any way is a big requirement for me being happy, so i will be doing lots of that and excercise which releases endorfines and adrenaline! And reading!

These are a few of my latest uploads ti my flickr gallery! Enjoy!

I have been home sick today. I am having one of my down periods at the moment and i don´t feel a change coming anytime soon :(
Crafting always makes me feel better, so i did some of that today!

I had bought this fram thingy a while ago and this is what i can up with! I like! :)

And some layouts. The family played some fresbee and i was behind the camera :)

Then DD posed for me once and was silly the rest of the time, but I LOVE these photos!

I am making a short post today, but I have updated with some new flickr photos. See the sidebar for a link!

Be back soon!

This is me...

I am resting...

Be back soon...

:)

all is well on the island

We have recovered from the first chock now :) We stayed home yesterday to just sleep and rest and we both needed that. She is still soar and limps a bit, but today we tried school and it went well. I am amazed of how sweet the children are to us, bringing gifts, flowers and letters. Makes a happy heart! Thank you for all you support to this worring kind mama!


And what would a day off be without some crafting! :) I am so loving these photo challenges we have on flickr with the Beezie girls! So, I thought I´d save all my photos in this album.

I also took the one photo I had of my daughter after the accident and journaled alot. There is hidden journaling under the mat.

I also became inspired to finally make an "everyday you do..." kind of layout. It was fun!

I jave to get back to work! I am teaching my first scrapbooking class tomorrow, wish me luck!

you never now...

my day ended in the emergency room today. My daughter went with a friend and the friends father to the harbour by bike to buy icecream. She has done this trip a hundred times before. I stayed home gardening. You know sometimes you think, i hope she comes home safe and the worst senario plays before your mind, but then you say to yourself that oh, nothing is going to happen.

Well, today it did.

I was back in the garden and I didn´t even understand what was happening when I see a lady carry a child in her arms. It took like 5 seconds to comprahens that it was my child. My daughter had, had an accident with the bike. She had fallen and tumbled a few meters and had cuts all over and a very soar foot. The adrenaline was pumping as she screamed and cried so much. She was in so much pain and the chock made her tremble terrible. We went to hospital at once and they said that she must have had a guardian angel. Her ankle was soar from getting caught in the wheel but not broken. And the cuts where sort of ok, but one had to be stitched up.





I am beat. And I thank God that she had a helmet on. God only knows what had happen if she hadn´t. Please, make your kids wear helmets! And you too... You never know!

saturday ramblings

Can you blame me when I say I want to go back to this? I dream and think about Mallorca all the time. Maybe it is just because it is just a year ago that we went? Ah, the simple and good life of vacation...

Yesterday I scrapped in my clean scraproom. It is nice to create when there is a organization and you see all you stuff. I tend to be a very messy scrapper. This day it was all about the pets for me. I finally made a layout about when Sadie got bitten a few months ago. And the second one is about my cutie cat. I think its the naughty girl in me that wants to use that bird paper in my cat layouts :)

I was going through some older pictures on my computer and found this one of my daughter when she was 1. How cute is she! I can´t belive that I am now a mother of a smart, witty and such a beautiful soon to be 8 year old. Where in world did the time go?

I actually felt some craftyness coming on today :) I have been wanting to do one of these minibooks for a while now, since I saw something like it on 2peas a while back. I am going to have it as a travel journal type book over the summer. I´ll bring it on diffrent adventures and such. It was lots of fun to make it!
Instructions: I used a paperbag which I cut of so it became one size. I adhered paper on the right side and toar out some journaling paper and stapled it to the paper. A tip to make it more sturdy I used some cardstock on the inside of the bag. I made a little tag and added a button. For the left side I sewed 9 plastic envelopes (where I plan to put tickets and other small things along the way) to cardstock and adhered that to the page. Just so I could devide the envelopes i put stickers as tabs. The front page is selfexplainatory :)

I have also completed a minibook of favorite photos. A simple all-about-the-photos kind of minialbum. I like how thick it became! Here is the cover and then a selection of pages.

Mary Jo made a comment where she wanted to know how I make the pictures in my 2peas BOS into smaller squares. Here is how. When you are about to print your Power Point presentation there are some options in the print section. In the lower part of the Print window there is a PRINT title and below that it usually says pictures or something like that. Change that to the second option (I have the swedish version so I don´t know what it is called in english). After that you can decide on how many pictures per page you want to be printed. I chose 6. Good Luck!

ps. I officially suck at the photo per hour thing! :(
