A day with a plan?

Goodmorning everybody!

Unbelievable, but today is a day with PERHAPS a plan.! And it involves Jan, therefore the perhaps! LOL. It's time to go to the "special"supermarket again, to get some catfood for a real good price there and look around what else we can take with us for not too much money. It's the kind of supermarket where they have some things always and other things just for a short time, but then for a low price. So it's a bit of gamble, but you'll have to look around, see it, and ask yourself if you'll need it the coming time or stash it in the freezer and so. Well, I hope we'll get there today. I had it in mind already for some days, but every time something disturbed the plan. Very odd.

Can you imagine the month of May is almost done?? Just Monday we start already with June! I am glad, I already have a map in the scrapkit section on my computer which contains a few kits. Yeah can you imagine, I have a few in store again! Oh and I must say to you that in June we have another FABULOUS daily download on the Magickal Scraps forum. In a few days you'll see the slideshow on my blog, but it;s really a beautiful one. The ladies( haha, I am inculded in that) have done a terrific job on this one! Worth to take a look!

I am a bit proud of myself, about yesterday. I did some on the computer, some in the garden and when Jan got out for a walk I tornadoed(I don;t think it's proper English, but you'll understand the meaning LOL) through the house, dusting sweeping and preparing dinner in advance, all in quite short time, but the house looked better, in my opinion. Ha, sometimes a girl can do a lot in little time. Oh, reminds me of something Jan said the other day. Everywhere on tv you have these commercial breaks over and over again. And one evening I got so yakkkie about it I stood up and changed the sheets etc. of the bed, gave something to eat to my oldest cat(she eats in portions throughout the day) poured a cup of coffee and was back on the couch even before the commercial break was done! So I said to Jan: "Amazing what you can do in just a short time, take only these breaks". And Jan said: "Well, if you'll count all the breaks on an evening only, you'll have "spare"time for almost 2 hours! Imagine what you could do in that time! Only a pity that it is evening and we are problaly a bit too tired to jump around(or we don;t have the spirit anymore). But still, it should be a great spending of that boaring time!". And in fact he is right. But I think, this time will not be spend very often to house work, although it would be a great thing to do. Hmmm, you;ll just have to turn the day on it's back, and make another planning.

Okay, enough stupid rampling. I have the kit waiting for you. Today it's a kit in style of the 1920-1930's, a bit of art nouveau and art deco style. Can you do something with it? suppose with a bit of imagination you always can use something from a kit.
Well, name is"Roaring Times"(referring to the "roaring Twenties").
This weekend it is the Whitsuntide so perhaps I'll extend my"weekend break"too and will not be back till Tuesday. I don;t know yet, so take a look on Monday on the blog and you'll know.
As for now I wish you all a marvellous weekend with lots of fun and joy.Take care!

Aweful weather, almost autumn!

Goodmorning everybody!

Yesterday really it was unpleasant weather. Looking out of the window, there was grey clouded sky, quite some wind and from time to time rain. It almost felt like autumn! Weather around here can change so quickly, one day you are almost in hevane, with sunshine and nice temperature and sometimes in a few hours all that is gone and you are placed back in a kind of autumn weather. Well, I think I never get used to that. But if they are right at the weather forecast, this weekend it should become a lot better. We'll see about that!

I thought, it was time for a little funny thing again to start the day with and I found this one, I just LOVE it!

In a way it is a sad quote too, but hey, you just have to see the humour of it, best thing in life is to relativate a lot of things and certainly try to laugh about it, otherwise life would be impossible to live.!!

Hmmm, I am a bit out of news today, not too much happened(anyway not much very interesting). Oh, i went through teletext this morning and saw an amazing fact: In Great Britain there is a couple that just celebrated their 81 th anniversary of their marriage!! He is 101 years old and his wife a lot younger, age 100!!! They met in 1926, can you imagine??? They seem to be in a rather good condition still, they said they kiss and cuddle each other every night before going to sleep. Isn;t that cute???

Okay, the freebie for today. As we just had Mothers Day and Fathers Day is coming up, I made a kit I called "Mom and Dad". Could be nice to scrap some pictures of your parents, hmm??? How do I get that idea?? LOL! All left is to wish you a great day and till next time!

I was right, I was WET yesterday!

Goodmorning everybody!

Perhaps I should have waited yesterday a bit longer to go out, but I don;t like to do the shopping too late. You still have to put them away and make the packages for the bread and meat etc. for the freezer and when you have finished that and you did go out rather late, day is almost over. So I was courageous, took a raincoat out of the closet and off I went. Oh boy, there wasn't too much wind but just enough to help the rain. I had wind in front, so with rain(not exactly pouring, but such a creepy misty rain!) in NO time I was almost soaked. I came into the bakery and the girl had to laugh and asked me with compassion in her voice if I still could see something through my spectacles! Well, sight was poorly because all of the drops on it! She gave me a napking to drry it up, nice hey? My trousers, normally light weight, had become at least half of their weight heavier, just because of the water in it! Pewwwww! But on the way home it was almost didn't rain anymore and by the time I was home I almost dried up. So much for taking some air. LOL

Today I have a sweet kit for you, named "Le petit cabinet". I started with some paper and suddenly this idea came up. I imagined myself a little room, near the hallway, in and older house, where sometimes the mistress of the house could receive a visit, or where the gentleman of the house could retire for a while, reading his newspaper. A cosy little room, for all kind of purposes.
I should say, try to have some fun with it.
Now have a fine day, and thanks for visiting.

Curtains of rain!

Goodmorning everybody!

How happy I was to tell you the weather was fine etc.! Well, yesterday temperature went still a bit up, but there wasn't much sun to see. And oh my, then yesterday evening. I think about 21.00 o'clock our first pictures were taken again! Thunder and lightning, gosh, incredible. But then almost at the same time it started pouring rain, and with almost no wind, it was a dense curtain of big drops and stil thundering etc. And not for a few minutes, it went on and on. And I tell you the worst of it all! As it didn;t rain for a few days, certainly thepots in the garden needed some water, so yesterday, after dinner I gave them a good drink! And I should have known better! Very often when I spray the garde a few hours after it it starts to rain! Really! Well, the fields and ardens could do with a bit of water, but the amount of yesterday was a bit overdone!

Hopefully all the rain fell yesterday and we can keep it dry today, but it's not for sure! So I really must try to pick my moment to go out and put a coat on that keeps the rain away from my body as much as possible, should it start again. What a nice prospect, whooooo!

Hey, I made two challenges yesterday, that were still waiting for me. It was the letter challenge(every time a letter with from the alphabet, and trying to find something of importance to you) and this time we had the N to do. Oh my God, I was struggling with that! But finally I found something and this is the result:


here the bigger one http://i42.tinypic.com/2ebqv85.jpg

I was quit pleased with it. Snowy got me pulled in in the quote and poem thing lately! But I always liked poems, in my "earlier"days I even made some myself. So it isn;'t strange that this"virus"caught me again, LOL

Now the new kit today. Very much in sweet colour, as to say in pink shades. I came across some beautiful rose brushes, so this is the result of my humble attempt: "My Secret Rose Garden".
Just hope it will be to your liking. Now I'll take my second coffee, try to play and accomplish some things on the computer and then out I go. Have a nice day, a dry one, if possible, although in some parts of the world you are probably longing for some rain. You can have a bit or ours!!!

Beautiful days.

Goodmorning everybody!

How was your weekend? Did you tank a bit of new energy for this week? You'll need it, certainly, if only to take and then scrap some photos with the new kits I have for you LOL!

The weekend had beautiful weather over here, so open doors and from time to time catching a bit of sun and walking through the garden, everytime noticing something new came up there.! Amaing it really is, when you think that on a groundpiece of about 6 mtr to 12 mtrs. from which I think 75% is really "garden" can happen so much in just a day! One of my clematis plants bursted open in some beautiful dark lilac flowers, and whoppee, yesterday I had a poppy blooming! Today there are even two! So me rambling on about the poppy I took a shot from one bloom and here it is, so you can see yourself they are beautiful!

Am I right or not? Also one of my roses is giving it's best show on the rose arch just look here:

You'll get a better view if you click the pictures.

So it was a good weekend, I did things at the time they came up, some housework, some gardenwork, all at easy pace and I can say I enjoyed the weekend. Also finished a kit, so what else can a person wish for?

Now I had trouble choosing which kit I should offer first(what a luxury, being able to choose between several finished freebies!!!!) and I dexided it was time for a lighter coloured one after the Generations kit. So here you have i, it's "Sea Bauties"and I think you will like this one. Enjoy it, and this afternoon come back for the freebielist and have a nice day you all!

Ladies, give me ideas!!!!

Goodmorning everybody!

I was already early in a busy mood, cause I had to make something quick for a forum member on Magickal scraps, who has her birthday today. So that was the first things I did. Wow, I really was awake this morning, but... I had a good night sleep , finally again. Slept all through the dark night from about 1.oo o'clock till 8.30 this morning.
Well, yesterday was a nice day, was busy a large part of the day with a kit I made for the forum, whoooooo, a little bit a naughty one, but still very decent, I must say. If you want to see it, hmmm, you'll know what to do then. LOL.

Yesterday was the first time this year we had the garden doors open till after six o'clock in the evening! Sometimes the temperature outside is still nice, but if there is too much wind, it becomes inside too cold to sit still and still feel comfortable. But as I said, yesterday it was different. And if we can believe the forecast, today, it will be a little less but then temperature will go up to about 22 degrees C!! Sounds much more like my kind of weather.
So I hope Heidi and I will go to the gardencentre on Tuesday, should be nice with good weather. I even have made a few spots a bit free in the garden, cause you'll never know what you'll find in the centre!! LOL. I should find myself a bit different colours for the garden, on the moment it;s very much in pink and lilac, blue, and it should have a bit more white and yellow too in it.

Today I will have to do again some shopping, and perhaps even some other work around. And I have a question too for you! Think it over in the weekend and then give me some ideas for some new kits. I am sure some of you are walking around with ideas enough, so write them down in the comment box or shoutmix, may be I can do something with a few of them! I am running a bit "dry"for the moment. LOL. So come on, don;t be shy, I am not quickly surprised, certainly not if you know what the ladies on the forum come up with as ideas!!!

Now here you have the second part of "Generations". Hope you like the kit. As the weekend break is there again for me, we will meet again on monday, so make the most of your weekend, and don;t forget about my question!!

Supposed to be a LONG weekend

Goodmorning everybody!

As it is Ascension Dat today, we will have Whitsun weekend(or Pentecost) this weekend. And a lot of people certainly have taken the Friday also as a holiday and have a long weekend ahead. I think there will be quit a lot who take a little holiday and go someplace else for a few days. We just stay comfy in our home, and hoping the weather will be kind to us and all others who want to have a break. OH NO, I am TOTALLY wrong! The weekend of Whitsun is next week! Stupid of me. But still, people can make this week-end into a longer weekend, hahaha.
I did my duty yesterday and took Heidi's dog for the walk in the afternoon. The poor little thing was all happy when I came in and looked soooo sad when I left him again.
Oh I also had a quick look into her garden and grrrrrrrrrr, @@@####!!!!! etc (LOL), she has a few more poppyheads in her plant than I have.! No, I don;t mind that, it;s just a little competition that is going on between us, every year!

Well, I will give you today the first part of a kit, tomorrow will be the second part then. I give you the complete preview of the ki, so you can see what you will get, hahaha!. It's a nice one, I think myself and it will be a kit for some older pictures, so I am giving you some work, to find pictures of your youth or even from your parents or grandparents, get them together and scan them and make some nice pages with them. I called the kit: "Generations". So the name says it all, I suppose. For the ones who have the day off today: enjoy it as much as possible, for the ones who will have to work today: still try to have a nice day, may be you will have less stress today, a lot of offices etc. are closed, so you might have an easier day.
