cosmo cricket love

i am loving the fact that cosmo cricket has gone digital! that means that i can use their cute products without waiting for a package to ship from the other side of the ocean!

i usually stalk the email i get on one buck wednsday from jessica sprauge :)

and there have been so many good deals there!

in this layout above i have used:

mr. campy paper pack

mr. campy candy candy

and i think both were one buck each at one point. oh, and i believe that these 2 kits will get in handy when i am going to scrap all those trailer adventures :)

ps. i am off to spend some time with the cutie girl in that layout and her mom today! yay!

i almost never do this...

i am not that interested in the newest fashion really. i go for cute and comfortable. but i just wanted to show you a few things i picked up yesterday, a few things i still think about and some inspiration.

i am loving those jeans and that yellow top i picked up yesterday! and there are quite a few items that are still are on my mind for spring.  

these are just things that caught my eye while in h&m.

and i bought this deep purple dress for a more formal event i am attending in june. i first saw it when it hit stores last october as the stores Pink collection. it was a bit pricey for me them, but i spotted only one on the sales rack after my birthday and after using a giftcard i got i only paid about 10 dollars for it :)

it is very forgiving with the stripes in the fabric. i am pondering wearing my new purple converse with it, but i guess i have to go for a more dressy version :)

now that i think about it, i might try my hands on something crafty inspired by the colors here...

do you get inspired by fashion?

facebook love

i did this layout about my daughters love for facebook. (i love it too but that´s another layout!) i took a screen dump on her profile page and printed it out. i wasn´t originally going with the blue theme, but somehow my hands just reached for all these lovely patterned papers (from Pandurohobby.se).

speaking of facebook and projects using facebook. did you see marie taylors minibook last month? she made an awesome virtual guestbook using all the congratulation comments she got when she announced her new sons birth! yeah, genius i know! i am about to steal her idea :) i hope to have it ready this weekend!

ps. i forgot! i was totally insired by jenni huffords amazing layout here!

52 photos in 52 weeks: week 10 roundup + new prompt

our week 10 prompt was: wrinkle. i posted a few great examples of some of my contacts photos of wrinkles to the flickr group discussion. i loved them! and my,  oh my i loved your contributions also!

my husband is not the one to be in photos just like that. although he has gotten better, i guess since he has understood that this photography thing of mine is going to be a long term thing :)

i have always loved his wrinkles around his eyes. when he smiles they come out and it makes me so happy!

right now happiness is...

a finished school assignment

sunhiny days and places where it´s warm to sit outside and crochet

lazy days when it is ok to just be

the expression in your childs eyes when they get what they want

photos that turn out even better than you thought

finding new quotes that you love

having new projects brewing in your mind

really good tasty food

a new pair of purple converse

compliments

having money in the bank

that the biggest problem that you have in the craftroom is that you have to much stuff 


whats on your happiness-list right now?
