Let's travel some more

Goodmorning everybody!

I was a bit busy yesterday. Did almost all I wanted to do and even had time to have a little chat with Snowy and finish up another kit. So not bad for this old girl! Today will be running around time again, but I suppose I can do it in rather a short time. I also have to upload the next daily download for the forum, and even make a little extra for it, cause we were short of days. But no problem, everybody does a bit and we will have a download also for the last day in May.

Lately I am a bit worried about our girl cat, Micky. She is somehow acting a bit strange, Jan says perhaps she is suffering a bit of a kind of Alzheimer. Sometimes she can look at you so fuzzy. Bit strange. Well, the girl is about 14 or 5 years old now. not yet too old for a cat, but she is coming to a respectable age. Still eating rather well, so that's okay for the moment, but we will keep a closer eye to her. If there are coming more strange things in her behaviour, perhaps we should pay a little visit to the vet. I hope it will not be necessary yet though!

Today we will travel a bit more around the world. As we were in Greece yesterday, today we go much further, all the way to Japan! Yes, finally I made another oriental kit, called it "Saynonara". I think may be tomorrow I will have a surprise for one of my visitors, so keep your eyes open for it.!

Well, this is it for today, lots on the planning for today, also computerwise, but why shouldn't it be a fun day? As long as the weather stays rather well, I am happy.
Have all a great day!

Definately it's going towards summer!

Goodmorning everybody!

I surely did enjoy the weekend! It was rather productive too, so I am happy with myself.
I told you I bought some plants for Jan's little garden, hey? Well, on Saturday he took courage to plant them. It's a great thing to see him doing that, All so serious and trying to do it right! But it's done now and it looks great. Well, the plants have to grow still a bit, but in a few weeks I am sure it will look fantastic again, full of colour!

It was such nice weather over the weekend that I could sit in the sun again for a bit, with my book! It's progressing slowly, but at least I am reading again! It's a good feeling to get into a story and to live it aside of the figures in the book.

After this lazy weekend I surely must do something around the house today. But that's okay, I will do that, and with the nice weather I feel more up to it, LOL.

What do I have as freebie today? It's a kit in blue shades with a bit of white and that are surely the colours of Greece. So this is a Greece related kit, named "Kalimera" (good day in Greek) I hope some of you went overthere, so you will have some pictures to scrap. And if not I think you can use a lot of it for summer pics or so.
I will post the freebie on the forums and work a bit on a new kit I started in the weekend and then off to the housework first.!
Have a real nice day and see you around.

Good day yesterday

Goodmorning everybody!!

Oh gosh, I actually spent some working time in the gardn yesterday! I first did some shopping and not too far from the supermarket there is a flowershop where they sell also quit a bit of outdoor plants. Very dangerous place for me! But yesterday I went there to see if they had any good. And they did and so I bought some. Fist of all I bought a tray of Impatiens for "Jan's Garden" but couldn;t resist to buy a few other things for the "big"garden!! And how good that feeling was, golly!!!

So coming home I right went into the garden to plant the stuff. Although it wasn't the bright weather as the day before, temperature still was so nice, that it even was agreable to be there. I did some last cutting of "old"stuff. It was n the big hortensia I have standing there. All the old blooms, now brown are cut off now, so the bish is all fresh looking again. The new blooms are developping already. And then I had a nice surprise. Some years ago I was walking somewhere with Heidi and I saw a terrific Clematis on a little roof of a shed for bycicles. Sneeky I took a cutting of it and heidi put it into a little pot to let it grow some roots. It worked and the year after I did put it in the garden, not far from a stem from a big cedar , just behind the hortensia. It really started to grow and last year I even had some flowers on it in Spring. But this year..........wow........... suddenly I saw really a LOT of flowers on it, almost coming out to bloom. It's growing like mad and it will cover the whole cedar in just a few years, I'm sure!! As soon as it comes to bloom I will try to make a nice picture of it. So they say that "stolen"goods never bring something good, but in this case it's the opposite, LOL!!!

Okay, on to the freebie. It's a kit called "Olivia", I think a proper name for it regarding the colour, hahaha. I will prepare myself for a productive weekend(I surely hope) and like to wish you the same, whatever you are planning to do, I hope it will bring you a pleasant weekend!
Till the freebielist later today and then till Monday again!

Some LO and of course a kit

Goodmorning everybody!
What a marvellous day it was yesterday! It was really like summer, unbelievable at this time of year! So I did spent a bit of time in the garden with my book, great to relax! I also finally spoke again to my friend Heidi. We have a bit a lack of communication the past time, seems we just don;t take the time for it. Both busy with all kind of things. But all seems to go allright with her. However I want to see her too soon. We'll arrange that somehow!

Jan went out again for a walk yesterday!! Wow, what a news. But it is. The last few months he didn't "move' very much, but with the better weather it's also more inviting. I think he was away for over 2 hours, good for him. He has to do it, to get his muscles again in shape and it;s also good for the bloodcirculation. And it's also good for me, LOL! I always get more done when he is out of the house.

I want to show you an LO I made for the forum, for one of the challenges. It had to do something to do with Buddha, all the rest was left to our imagination. I made this:

The kit yesterday was quit a dark one, hey? So I've decided to give you a very bright one today. I think you will get a real summer feeling of it! I named it"Let the Sun Shine In".
And today I want to start with another kit, I have the subject allready in mind and have gathered some stuff for it on internet. Now the hard part is coming: picking out a colour scheme! Well, I should manage that.
I have to go out today too, but it looks as if the weather isn't that good as yesterday. Still temperature seems to be fine and who knows, may be I just come back with some plants for "Jan's garden". That still is empty, but it is about time to fill it up with a lot of Impatiens and perhaps a few other sunny plants. I'll think about that, hmmm.!

So you all have a happy day, and even if the sun isn;t shining, let it shine somehow! A little smile already does miracles!!

Must enjoy this day!

Goodmorning everybody!

It wal surely a lovely weather yesterday! I could go out for the shopping with okay a sweater on and a light jacket, but it's was a huge change from the winter jacket! Sun was shining and great temperature. As it was so nice, I sat in the garden for a little while, with a cup of tea and I even stared with a book again! It's "Alaska"from James Mitchener, a thick book about the origin and development of Alasks, all from the very very first start, millions of years ago till the present. I love the books of Mitchener, they are sooo interesting and also catching to read, and although the characters are fictive, all the events are based on historical and or geological facts, so you can really learn something from them too!
Well, I promised myself to do the same today, because they said the weather even would be better. They expect around 21-22 degrees C, on the coast! It will only be today, afterwards temperature will fall again a bit, but what we have in our pocket it can't be taken from us LOL!

All the garden stuff is growing fast now, every day I see more flowers opening and plants are showing their fresh green leaves, so it's going to look more like a real garden again!

And opposite to the bright weather, I have a very dark coloured kit for you today. Not that I am in a gloomy mood or so, but I just started with one or two darker papers and it all became a king of goth-style kit. It will not be to everbody's liking I am sure, but perhaps it's nice for a change. Tomorrow I will have a much more brighter and lighter one for you okay?
Anyway, here is "In the Dark"for you.
Have a beautiful day in peace and quiet!

Are you filled up with eggs??

Goodmorning everybody!!
I left you all alone this Easter weekend, but I had promised myself a long weekend. I hope you all had a good Easter and could enjoy some good weather?
We had it very quiet, but we had a good time. Last Friday night we had the chat on Magickal Scraps, as ever it was great fun, always longer then I think it will be.
Oh, Saturday afternoon we enjoyed ourselves to our bones! Jan had the spirit again to take a pile of "old"records and we had our musical afternoon. Boy, did I hear a lot of beautiful oldies again! We always have great fun doing this. I am at the computer, Jan acting as disc jockey at the stereo and playing the songs we sing them along out of full chest(if we don;t remember the words, we do the nanana, lalala stuff, LOL). I think we did that for more than two hours!
I keep telling msn is wonderful invention, although it can take a lot of your time too LOL!
I had some great chats with Snowy this weekend and one even with Edna gathering, so we 3 were chatting around.
We get along fine I think, all so different of character and still understanding eachother great.

I did a lot of "work"this weekend, could finish some challenges and made some kits, so I am all happy.
As I popped in on my blog during the weekend, just to check, there was left a message for me that I received an award. I had this one already several times, but it doesn;t matter, just the fact that someone is thinking of nominating little me, is very much appreciated. The award is the "premio Dardo"and given to me by Marie from http://leptitmondedemarie.blogspot.com/
Take time to pay her a little visit, cause she has some very sweet freebies.

Let's hop to the freebie for today. I call it "Belvédère", and it's made in soft colour. Just have fun with it and make some terrific layouts!
Enjoy your day and visit again this afternoon as there will be the freebielist again!

This is real quick

Good AFTERNOON everybody!
Yes, you read it well, it;s already afternoon here. Oh boy, morning didn't start good. I was up early, all well, started after a while the computer, all well, then I had to update my AVG, and it;s always better I do it right then. So I did. No problem, but then you have to restart the computer to get it working, well, quit normal thing, but as i closed, windows started installing updates, so you cannot do anything. Well, that is also normal, but it takes AGES to install them. I don;t think that is normal, so I had to wait hours, yes, to get moving again. All morning disordered and I was anoyed, to say it mildly! In between I did some cleaning up in the garden, it;s a gorgeous day, and some other stuff and I just closed the computer the "hard"way. Not good I know, but I had enough of waiting after more than 2 hours. I must figure out why it takes sooooo long.
Well, as I want to take profit also from the good weather, I will now post the freebie, not the smallest one in MB! It has the right name for me today, LOL it;s called "Relaxing"!!!
I hope you all have such a good weather day as we here, and also wish you a blessed Easter weekend!
See you back on Monday!
