Oh my, we are busy again!

Goodmorning everybody!

Do you hate it also, that when you just got out of bed, still a bit "misty"and you have to go to action right away?? Happened me this morning. Not a bad thing or so, but I tell you, hopefully in some sentences. Okay, I woke up, made coffee and went to the room to read the text tv. Hey, strange on digital there is no sound. Okay, can happen, no problem, in the morning I shut down the sound anyway. But Jan woke up and told me it was also last night but the other way around~. Hmmm, possibly the supplier of the channels did womething overnight. But then I had to shut off the digital box(normally pulling out and putting in plugs and so is Jan's work haha), and had to search which plug was from the digital box and then pulled out thecard and inserted it again and then we plugged in again and thank God, all did work again as usual. So no big business, but I just hate it to do things when I even hadn't my first cup of coffee in the morning and already have to work the brain. Yak, it does;t help to get me in a good mood.
But after it I went to my computer and first went to the forum and usually there always is some comment to get a laugh on my face! So this morning.

And girls, we are planning ahead there! We have the theme and colourscheme already for the August DD so as I spotted it yesterday, I already made work of that. I am not finished with it yet, but progressing fine! The colours look like this;

and the theme is "men at work". so it will be a "manly"kit this time, perfect for scrapping some great pictures of your hunks!! I will post the preview of mine as soon as it is ready.

The colour challenges are real beauties. I showed you my preview"Animal Giggles" some days ago. And I'll show you the kits from Smowy and Edna for June's colour challenge.

This if from Edna

And this one from Snowy

I did speak the truth, hey? Awesome kits! But we also inspire eachother each time on our forum. Great community!

Well, hop on we're almost done with rambling along. As yesterday's kit was in bright cheerful colours I think today is time for a soft coloured kit again. I came up with a two colour scheme and in different gradients. And it ended up in this kit "Pastel View". I think those two colours fit wonderful together.
Now have fun with the kit and enjoy your day.

The week started well

Goodmorning everybody!
Yes, the week started rather well yesterday. After the posting I did some playing around, started a new kit, no first made some overlays for that kit and some borders, great fun. And also did a little bloghopping, and then it was looking so nice outside that I went out to do already some shopping. I had the brilliant idea to do a part of it already, especially some heavier stuff, like tinsfood for the cats, some pots and bottle things, oh, a bag with dry food too for the cats(sometimes it seems they eat me to poverty LOL), had to buy new toiletpaper. So I came home with a good filled shopping car. Now today I should go out again and buy the other things(fresh food for our oldest cat, bread, icecream !!!) and such, but I may be blessed with a lighter car to pull around. But it's raining now and lots more wind than yesterday, hmmm, not my kind of weather, but... still have a few hours, it might be brightening up later.
Then at dinner I made it easy, we had awefully tasty sparerribs, made some potatoe parts in the oven and a simple salad. Yammie, it was goooooood!! And the evening had still some more goodies in store for me. Yeah, there was again a Bond film on, and although I have seen them all lots of times, they still are great to watch. Specially with Pierce Brosnan as 007. Wow, great guy to watch!!!
And wait, after returning from the shopping, I even washed a curtain and did the window and a bit around, all fresh and bright again, so I was all happy.
You see, sometimes I can be a good girl.

You should pay again a visit to Snowy's blog, http://silversnowyraven.blogspot.com/, she has a marvellous kit in store but also some very nice freebies for you! This girl is a very artistic lady and really makes beautiful things.
And di you go to Edna's blog to pick up the QP? When I visit her blog she ALWAYS brings a big smile to my face, with the way she rights her posts. She has a special way with words and can right soooo funny. A good remedy for you if you may feel a bit depressed, believe me!

What freebie do I have for you today? I think a nice one. All happy colours, gives you a real summer feeling and title is "Hawaiian Hula". Hope you have fun with it and also hope your day will be a very good one!

Great chat and weekend

Goodmorning everybody!
Oh yeah, I am feeling MUCH better than the Friday last week! Ouffff, I did catch up with the missing sleep this weekend. We had the plans(you know our plans? LOL) to perhaps go out to the street festival? Well, to be short, we didn't. Very lazy of us, I know, but well, Friday wasn't my day, poor Jan had about the same Friday night(was it a kind of virus, who can tell?) so Saturday we didn't go and Sunday the weather was changing so quickly from still rather nice to windy and rainy, that it really wasn't the day for going out. Oh my, we just have to wait for next year. Heidi wasn't home with her birthday, they planned a little weekend out in Limburg, a province in the south of the Netherlands. Good for her!
Friday night I still made it to the chat, and OMG we did had some good laughs there again! We are really a crazy bunch together.! As always there is a challenge to do but we almost never come to finish it during the chat, as we act like a overcrowded henhouse at those times LOL. So I did it the next day, we were supposed to make either a QP, or LO or maybe mini kit, with grunge metal and pearls in it. So I ended up with a QP,



I may even offer it later as a freebie for you, we'll see!

Oh yes, I got a sweet and terrific surprise from my friend Edna in the mail. She made a QP from the "Be Proud"kit. I told her she should offer it as a freebie on her blog. As soon as it's there I will warn you about it, so that you can pick it up, okay? And you can go there now, I just checked and she has posted it: http://missednasplace.blogspot.com/

This is the great QP:

Isn't that a great one???

So, did I make you greedy a bit? I've showed you some things, but not yet for download, but... although I am a bit wicked I also have a real freebie for you today! It's called "The Treasury"a rather "rich"kit, with lots of gold in it, specially on the papers. I think it looks not bad. I love the kind of knight figure, who is supposed to be the Treasury Keeper! Where would be be without some fantasy?

Now I should finish the rambling again, then there is a bit time still left for me to play, haha, computer wise spoken, but not a game, no I must find something to make another kit and also must do the letter challenge for the forum, for the letters O and P. We'll see what that will end up in.

Here's the freebie, do something nice with it and I wish you a great day!

Not in the best mood!

Goodmorning everybody!
Well, at least I hope you have one! Grrrmmmppff, I am not all awake yet, after an aweful night of sleep. No, not well said, after a night where I slept a bit, when I slept it seemed I was still awake, my brain worked overtime I think! And in between I was up too! And why? I really don;t know for sure, but perhaps it had something to do with yesterday evening. First we watched the rest of the videao, but started earlier in the evening so that went well. Aweful good film! Then suddenly Jan got in his mind to check on the dvd, because apparently it didnlt record a program. GRRRMMMPPPFFF! I can understand you want to check, but no at about 01.00 o'clock at night!! And stupid as I am, I suppose, I stayed with him, going from one possibility to another, by mistake we skipped all the tv programming( list of favourites) wow, so we had to put that up again. OMG. DEFINATELY not a good thing to start with in almost the middle of the night. We managed to get that in order again, thank God, but I don;t know if the dvd does its thing properly. At a certain point I just gave up, it was really time for me to go to sleep. But.... probably too late, was over the first: hey, nice, I aam sleepy, I can go sleeping now"point and I think all the programming stuff was rolling over in my brains. Well, whatever the cause might have been, I am NOT in a terrific mood yet, feeling all grungy and kind of "misty"and I could have spent longer time in bed. But... most times it doesn;t work well either for me. Then I am angry because I missed almost half a day, and almost feeling the same. Hahaha, I am not a difficult person, but in this............mmmmmmmmmmm. So I suppose I will end up this afternoon taking a nap for may an hour or even two and we'll see how that effects me. LOL.
And I HAVE to be a bit good awake still this evening around 23.00 o'clock, because we have the chat. And I want to join it clear headed, without a headache or anything! It's too much fun!

So, I steamed off a bit, thanks for bearing it! I suppose perhaps today will not be the best day to go to the streetfestival I told you about earlier. It will have to wait perhaps till tomorrow. But then we are probably having the visit to Heidi also, we must work that out. Okay, that's not a too big problem. Better I post the preview of your freebie for today. I named it"Be Proud"and is a native american related one. Hope it appeals to you.
You all have a terrific day, definately hope mine will proceed a bit better after some more coffee and a nice long shower. LOL Have also a great weekend and don;t miss your beauty sleep!
See you again on monday.

LOOOOONG sit yesterday evening

Goodmorning everybody,
Gosh, watching dvd and videao can be exhausting! I tell you why! Yesterday evening there really wasn;t ANYTHING interesting or fun on tv, so I suggested Jan we put on a dvd or so of our own. We still have a few we even didn;t see, so why not. And so we did. First a dvd about a teacher on a weird school with very difficult pupils, who found a very drastic way to get them actually learn something out of books and at the same time become really better people socialy. But good movie. As it still was rather early, about 22.30, I said, why not take another one? After some search I came up with a big video box, containing a film from Stephen King( I love those films!) "The Stand". So well installed again on the couch there we went. Good film, it holds your attentiob the whole time. But at the hour of 01.00 o'clock my shutters of my eyes went spontaniously down a few times, so I suggested we stop the video and watch the rest tomorrow( now today, LOL). And we looked at the box how long the videao actually was. OMG, all together 362 minutes, meaning about 6 HOURS!!! And we even didn;t finish the first video of it! So this evening we will watching a lot earlier, I can promise you that!
Today I definately have to go out, for a little grocerie shopping, but mainly to search a present for Heidi. So if I don;t find it today I still have a chance tomorrow. Hmmm, I think I will end up with a nice plant for her garden. But, we'll see how it goes.

Oh yeah this happened to us too. As our doctor finished his practise about two years ago, we could inscibe ourselves with another one, who took over the patients. Okay, nice, but it is much further away, not so easy to reach with bus. But okay, at least we had a doctor( the old one was across the street, how convenient). Well, Jan saw in a neighnbourhood papaer that not far away two lady doctors took new patients. So I downloaded the forms to subscribe, filled them in yesterday and phoned them. And now the assistent told me they had a temporary stop again! But I could try next month, then it should be possible again. @@@######!!!!, I wasn'' t happy with it. But okay, patience and try again next month.

Well, on to the freebie for today then. I am a bit in the "lilac, purple"mood lately it seems(although I try to make them as different each day as I can, like yesterday's) but today there is a kit in the "lilac" scheme again. Sorry if you don;t like the colours, but it will certainly change too again LOL. It's named "Romancing"and the title covers it all. Good to scrap pictures from your sweetheart, or secret loves (hahaha) or something like that! Have fun with it and also have a great day again. Bye!

Wanting too much in too little time

Goodmorning everybody!
Another day passed, with always some boaring stuff in it(you may guess what, LOL) but also fun stuff in it(and you may guess that too!). Do some of you experience the following too sometimes? That you want to accomplish a lot of things in just too little time? I had that the last two days again! And then I am only speaking about the scrapping!! Don't let us involve even more things. Oh my, it's always the same! When a new month started I run over to the forum to see what challenges are up, I pick out the ones I like to do( it ends up in almost all) and right away the brain is working overtime! And I find myself suddenly involved in 2 or 3 challenges at the same time plus working on a freebiekit plus downloading some stuff and planning burning some cd's with older kits I made and some downloads. See the word PLANNING???? I mostly don;t even come to DOING it!
Okay, I think I will have to live with that. I know I am sometimes a bit(????) chaotic, always have been in some things, but somehow it seems to work with me cause at the end I finish up almost having done all. Strange!

May be this weekend, if the weather will work along(it seems to be getting a lot less beautiful for the coming days) Jan and I planned to go one of the days to a town real close to us, Delft, where every year there is a street festival. But almost every year we forget it, because we always think it's happening a bit later in the year. It's really fun to see it, there are all kind of little acts, varying from music to theatre to magicians and whatever you can think of along the canals of Delft. And we remember one time we went there, that we had a GREAT time. With it there is also a flee market, so enough to see and hear. I truly hope we will/can go and I must not forget to take my camera! So far for the plans(you know what often happens to our planning????) but also I must not forget that Heidi has her birthday this weekend. Oh, the always returning problem of finding a present! Must crack my brain on it, I am always such a nutty to want to find something real special and a bit unusual. Let's hope I do.

Why is it that I almost always end up with a lot longer post than I intended? Uncomprehensive for me! LOL. Let's skip now to your freebie, you deserve it after this rambling on again. It's one made in one colour scheme, a colour I really like for scrapkits. I think it;s a kit you can use for almost anything, so very handy. The name is "Charisma"and I hope you will like it. Have a great day and let's see how this day will unfold intself, hahahahaha!

Back to blogging.

Goodmorning everybody!

After a quick hopping in yesterday, I am back in nto "normal"again, LOL. It was a great weekend, stunning good weather, so we enjoyed that to thefull. We even thought about going somewhere out for a walk or so, but at the end we just stayed home. We have the garden, so we sat there to enjoy the sun, and being lazy.

I was hopping in and out of the forum to see what challenges Snowy came up with and oh boy, there is work waiting for me again! And believe it or not, I already made 2 of them! On is the colour challange and on for the Botanical project. Wow, and even made another kit for the daily freebies for you, and did some "cleaning on the computer", burned a cd with some favourite music of ours(yeah, I am able to do that now, wow!) so it were very productive days.

Oh, I told you that Friday Jan and I would go to the supermarket with low price things. Ye, we went there, but as we arrived at the supermarket we stood there full of unbelieve! It was CLOSED! Not because it finished but for a "renovation"of the store! And that just at the time we finally got there! We uttered some ###!!!!!!!*****^$$@@!!! words ! Lucky for us there was also a kind of little market in the shopping centre(it;s not a BIG shopping centre) so we took a look(weather was nice for it) and even did the weekend shopping in another supermarket. So all by all it wasn't a lost afternoon, but I wasn't happy with the temporary closure of the "bargain"supermarket. Well, we'll try again in a few weeks.

I can show you the colour challenge kit I made for the forum. This was the colour chart

and we had to make a bit whimsical kit, theme was to be our choice. And here the result:

Here a preview of just two of the papers, to get a better idea

It really was a fun challenge.

And finally we arrive at the freebie for today. It's in a soft two colour pastel, I named it "Allegro"and I think it is a quite versatile kit. Now I am off, just want to look around a bit on internet and my files too, to get started with another kit. We must keep busy, hey??? I hope you will have a nice day, and .... take a god look at the slideshow on top of our daily download at the Magickal scraps forum! It's a very nice one!
