Fun at the forum!

Goodmorning everybody!


Well, I suppose contractors have their own ways! Friday evening when they left, I asked when they would come again and he said brightly smiling, "oh tomorrow", no matter the weather, there is always work I can do". Wow, on Saturday, not bad! So I was up at time, but waiting and waiting, no contractor. I must admit, it wasn;t nice weather at that time, but at least I expected a phonecall to know, and nobody had to stay home to let him in etc. Nothing. So in the afternoon I tried to call him, but as I thought, nothing. Hmmmm, I don;t like that. So yesterday I phoned again, and yes, he was on the line. I told him I wasn;t so pleased with him, etc. and he just said he didn;t have my phonenumber! Very strange, so I gave it to him to be sure, and he promised me to come today. We'll see, but I think he will be here after my phonecall.Okay, it will all come allright, but I don;t like this way of doing business too much.

But I didn;t let it spoil my weekend, and had some fun hopping over internet, hopping some blogs, designing a bit(although not as much as I thought) and having some fun on the forum. We are a wicked group together, with a great sense of humour. I will tell you something about it. On one subject it started with the following comment:

it should be great if we all could meet eachother at the same time somewhere."" Then followed by Snowy's :" If we all meet up at Edna's place the poor Dwarfs would run a mile ."(some explaining: Edna is having some people living in the house, all men and she calls them : The dwarfs")

This is the following up, first by Suruha:

Su says: Oh, I dunno ! Her name is Snowy..... rofl

I couldn't stay behind , gave a little comment and put together this little"song"

Oh boy, you are BAD GIRL Su! ROFL.

Hei-ho, hei ho,we dwarfs we only know

we 'll have a time that will be great

although we also might debate

about the fact if the girls are sweet,

or bad witches, sweeping us off our feet.

Hei-ho hei ho

what do we care!

a lot of women around is so rare

we open the door with a smile

and be happy for a while!

-----Edna's answer: Su and Kyra, you are VERY BAD!!!!!! But I LOVE IT!!! Yes, Moo and I live here with 7 dwarfs, and we are sort of one big family as you can see by the corrected picture here.

So you see it's not only serious work we do at the forum, we are also capable of some serious mischief LOL! I love those girls.! And I suppose it's not yet the end to it, because I still expect at least one of the members, the hard-dies, LOL to comment on this. ROFL!!!

Well, on to some more serious business, hahaha! Oh, the doorbell rings, I just go and see........................ and yes the contractor at a very early time, whoopeee! Okay, what do I have for you today? The result of the colourchallenge of August. It had as theme everything to do with travelling, so I named it Travelmania and I hope you an still use it, perhaps for some left over summer holiday pictures? Or may be you are planning a trip very soon(as a part of the world is going towards summer time, LOL)? It was another fun kit t make.

Tomorrow I will show you a picture of another collage my enthousiasic fairy friend Minky made again. Awesome!

Now you all make the best of today, always hard this first day of a new week , hahahaha!

More work on the roof

Goodmorning everybody!

If all goes right, today there will be worked on the roof again. Yesterday he didn't came by, he said so the day before. There was too much rain to do the things he needed too. So I called him yesterday and asked if he came today. It;s nice to know if somebody has to stay home or not. Well, he assured me that today he would come rather early so I was up (but not yet shining LOL) early and Jan is too, and we are waiting for him now.

Oh, I was again a good girl yesterday and did some necessary things in the house, hoorray! Still some things left to do, but today should be a good day for it. I also finished the kit I was working on and even managed to do another challenge. And I had an idea for another kit, that will be nice to work on in the weekend.

My friend Heidi will have soon too a little mess in her garden. They will re-tile their terras, so first all the old tiles will have to go out, then new sand on it etc.etc. and then a new tiling will be done. It seems that lately, a lot of people is busy with their house or they are having computer problems, hahaha. Is it the time of year that causes that?
Ha, the doorbell rang, so the contractor is here and in time! Well, I better put on some clothes and see what they will do today.
I have a nice freebie for you today, named "Countryhouse of the Marquise".
I wish you all a nice day and an aweful good weekend and see you again on Monday!

The darker days are approaching!

Goodmorning everybody!


You really can see that winter time is coming near. When I get up in the morning it is still rather dark, in the evening, especially when it;s a rainy or cloudy day, it is becoming dark rather soon. In a way, I like that time of year with Christmas in view, I like the cosyness of it but on the other hand I like better the bright time of spring and summer. I think I function better at that time of year. Well, not much to do about that, we cannot stop the seasons, can we?


It's was a quiet day yesterday, concerning the roof stuff. Contractor didn;t show up(he already told me the day before that might happen if the weather wasn;t right). So I truly hope later today the rain will go away and he can still do something on the job.


I had great fun yesterday with Edna's birthday! I still have to be careful about the things I do say now, not spoiling still some surprises for her. DIFFICULT. But, I did sent a little package ver to the US and it arrived in time! I was so happy about that and Edna's comment on it brought a big smile on my face. You can read all about it on her blog and see some great pictures! The only one who knew about this and what I sent her was Snowy, my companion in cooking up things, LOL!!! Oh I was glad I could talk to somebody about it, it was hard for me not to give away anything here on the blog about it or in an email to Edna.


I did some of the things I planned doing yesterday, good girl, but today there will be another round, hahaha. Yeah the job is never done. Once you have covered everything you can start right over at the beginning again. It's also about time to make some kits again as freebies, don;t worry, I still have some nice things for you on my "shelf", but we must continue, isn;t it? I started already one yesterday, I think it will be something you could use for some festive occasions, as there will be, with December not too far away anymore. I could give you a little teaser, perhaps? Yes, okay, I will show one paper of it.

Does it make you curious? Great!!! What will this kit be like? I am not going to tell you yet!!

Now for today I have a small freebie for you, it's the result of the template challenge at the forum. This was the given template

and I made you an extra quickpage for the Naughty Wood Elves kit. Tomorrow I will have a beautiful kit again for you. At least, I think it is a nice kit, LOL. For now I am finished with the rambling so better put up the preview and downloadlink for the quickpage.

Have a wonderful day!

There is a birthday in the air!!!!!

Goodmorning everybody!

First of all things I must put up a layout for a birthday wish. Who is having birthday then today??????? It's my lovely, sweet and humourous friend EDNA.! Yeah, she finally reached the years of wisdom, ROFL!!!

I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE A SPECTACULAR DAY TODAY EDNA, AND THAT AS A GOOD SURPRISE SUDDENLY YOUR COMPUTER WILL WORK AS IT SHOULD BE. HOPE MAKES US LIVE THEY SAY!!!

HERE A LITTLE BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM ME TOGETHER WITH A BIG HUG!!!!!
I was a bit inspired for this card by the lovely cards I receive from time to time from my visitor Minky! Also have to give credit to http://shoofly-stock.deviantart.com/ and http://joannastar-stock.deviantart.com/ for the items I used in this layout.
Now it would be nice if a lot of people hopped over to her blog to wish her Happy Birthday too! I know she would love that! http://missednasplace.blogspot.com/

Yesterday the contractor worked really hard! part of the roofing is already up and also they were busy on the back of the room. Still a mess in the garden, but I don;t mind too much. That will come okay after all is done. Weather forecast is not too good, there should be a little sun, but also rainshowers, I hope dear God has a few seconds to tink of me too, and that he will let the rain pass, at least most of it. Then the contractor could do a lot more again. I have some pictures but I will post them may be tomorrow or so, then perhaps I will have a bit the progress in line.

I also finished the kit for the colour challenge, and even made the template challenge. Also started already with the brush challenge but still there is a lot more to do. Ha, you can understand I didn;t do much else then. So today there is no shopping to do, I did that yesterday, and I can be productive in the house LOL. I will do that, honest!

As it is a little bit of a special day today, because of Edna's birthday today, and her being a member of the magickal team on our forum, I have, I think, a very nice kit for you today. Of course it has to be a fantasy kit, what else? And while making it, I got a bit carried away, because it has become a rather "heavy one" about 54 MB. I used in it some wonderful stuff from Helga, generously offered on her blog http://grannyart.blogspot.com/. The name of the kit is: "Naughty Wood Elves". I hope you ca have a lot of fun with it.

Now I must put this on, then get me another coffee, then go on the forum, to place also a birthday wish for Edna, of course, then I may have a bit time left to play around on the computer and then I must let my hands do some serious stuff, as the ironing, dusting, hoovering etc. Brrrrrr. But...once started it will not be so bad and take not too much time. Plans enough, now to make them come to reality, LOL!

Have a very nice day, don;t forget to go to Edna's blog for a quick birthday wish, and see you again tomorrow.

Wow, the mess has started!

Goodmorning everybody!

I was up yesterdaymorning eraly, for nothing(as I geared a bit LOL). Contractor cam some time later, much later! But... once there they started vigorously with the demolishing! Haaa, you wouldn;t believe the mess that came off! So I took a few pics, to convince you!

I didn;t climb up the ladder to take a real good shot of the roof, but you will get the idea and then the mess that came off and the third pic is from the backside of the room, where it alwo needed badly some repair. The bck was covered up with wood plated, but no good anymore!

Take a look.

Doesn't it look wonderful, grin grin?????

Well, today he would come earlier, he said, let's wait and see! As long as the job will be done, I will be happy. I can leave Jan hoe for some time today, I have to do the shopping again. Weather, by the way, was a bit nice to use yesterday, it looks not too bad this morning either. May be, may be, the weather Gods will have a bit pity on us!

Then yesterday afternoon I had a less good moment on the computer, ended up in a bit not too nice words to it(I did it hush hush inside, nobody heard!) All of a sudden my virus stuff of AVG came with an alert that I wasn;t protected for a part. I looked and there seemed to be some damage in the file or so. Oh, I hate those kind of things. I cannot stay cool with that! After some trying left and right I decided to un-instll it and re-install it again. And oh miracle and wonder all together, it seems to work again. Phooooooooo, wheeeeeeeee, joy and relief!

With all the going on around here, I didn;t accomplish too much on the computer, although I finished a smaller kit. Hmmm, okay, it;s something! Oh, yeah and I went on with the colour challenge of the forum, and I got carried away. It looks to become a lot bigger kit than I planned.Here is the colour scheme, lots of possibilities.

I'll give you a teaser , yeah, of two papers, can you guess what kind of kit it will become???

Gosh, lots of pictures and such today. I will talk no more, but give you the freebie. As it is the month of Thanksgiving, there has to be a little kit for it. Here it is. Simply named "Thankful", hope you like it. Hopefully tomorrow a bit more about the roof stuff, now first I take a cup of coffee and may be I can work a little bit on some kit or challenges and then I must go out first. Have a smooth going and fine day!

All safe after Halloween weekend?

Goodmorning everybody!

I hope everybody is safe again after this Halloween weekend and that all the ghosts and spooky creatures have disappeared again for a year!!


I am waiting now for the contractor to appear, hoping they can start right away today with the roof. The weather isn;t too much cooperating, they expect rain and some nasty wind.! Cross your fingers that this part of the country could be spared a bit for that weather, so that there will not be too much delay for the roof changing.


I remind you of the new daily download in the forum, the "Ham is good for you"kit, which is a great one, again, with lots of humour in it too.
We were given the new challenges for this month again, Snowy always comes up with such interesting things and also sooo much, her brain must work by times in overtime LOL! So there will be lots to do and to think about.

In the weekend I received again some work from Minky, and I just have to show you, I am in awe each time, when I see her cards.!




Just click to have a good view.


Well, I better hop right over to the freebie for today, and finish the blog post when it's still quiet around here, perhaps just time to get my 2nd coffee. Really hope the contractor comes in time, he is an really nice person, but sometimes has a bit trouble with clock watching LOL.
Today's freebie is in one colourscheme, named "Lady in Purple". Have fun with it!
Hope to have more news on the roof tomorrow, maybe I can take some pics, we'll see.
Have a wonderful start of the week!
