Friendshipbooks for a dear friend

Hello again :)

Here are the first FBs that I've made this year. I felt being rusty but the FBs turned out quite well. At least my friend whom I've made them for, liked them. :)

I have missed making FBs but I must admit that working with book cover plastic doesn't work for me anymore. I think I'm going to focus on making the FBs more like Artistic Deco way. That's more me these days, if you know what I mean. :) LOL

These FBs are made via group swap under the theme ALL FOR HER. These FBS are now on their way to Scotland to my swap partner. :) I hope she'll like these too. :)

 I have so much to share with you but I simply don't know where to start. I'll try my best to have some spare time next week to post here about my doings and makings. :) I really miss blogging regularly but work and family keeps me so busy these days. 

Well. Talk to you soon everyone! Be well and happy! :)

Birthday card

 Hello all! :)

I'm so sorry for not posting here for a while. Since I went back to work, I've been so busy. I've managed to do some crafting though. Here's a picture of my latest card. I've made it for my friend/co-worker on her 60th birthday. I liked how it turned out. :)

I will catch up with you more on a better time. I wish everyone a wonderful weekend!

Art Deco entries

 My, almost 4 weeks long, summer vacation is coming to it's end. Tomorrow I have to go to work again. I'm having a day off on Friday though. On Saturday we are celebrating Milma's 3rd birthday. Oh boy, time flies! 

I have really enjoyed of my summer hols. I've been crafting after a LONG time and I've enjoyed it soooooo much. I have also managed to catch up with my swaps and letters. :) Feels great! I still have some catching up to do but that has to wait until next week. This week, besides my work, I'm busy preparing Milma's party. I'm glad my mom is here to help me out. :)

Well. Here are the Artistic Deco entries that I've managed to make so far. :)

She's back!! :)

 Hello dear friends! LONG TIME NO SEE! 

I am back after having a 9 months break, pretty much from anything... crafting, swapping, writing letters, blogging.... The past year has been more or less rough for us, but we've made it. I'm not going to get more into it right here... life goes on. :)

My family and I are all well here. I hope each and everyone of you is too. :) I've missed blogging a lot! It feels great to be back in business again. :)

My work has kept me very busy since I started to work full time (after being a SAHM for years) in April 2011. That is one of the reasons why I needed to cut down on swapping and everything else. Now I'm slowly getting back into it. :) Tonight I'm going to drag all of my crafting supplies to our kitchen and do some serious crafting, at least for 3 days. I have a HUGE pile of art decos that I need to get moving ASAP. Some of them I've had here shamelessly long. Many of you are waiting for a swap/letter from me too. I promise you will hear from me soon via snail mail. :)

 Thank you for your patience friends! <3

I got to visit my best friends in Holland in April/May 2012 again. This time I went there all by myself and I must say that I really needed the week of, just for myself, to get out of here. I got spend the week at my best friends' in Ursem and got to meet another best friend of mine again. The 3 of us spent an awesome day in beautiful Haarlem. I've made a photo collage of it. Here goes:

I got to see the house of Corrie Ten Boom. Click HERE to read about her and see the house yourself. :)

On the 30th of April was the Queensday in Holland. I had to pleasure to experience and celebrate it too. It was a lot of one. Everyone had dressed up in something orange, me included. I got to taste a traditional Dutch cake called tompouce. It was good! :)  I've made another photo collage, from Queensday. There is also a picture where you can see a man making a tompouce with this funny machine. :)

I joined a weight lose group called Xtravaganza last summer and have lost 35 kg (77,2 pounds) so far. I'm 5 kg away from my 40 kg weight lose goal. I feel better than ever... also because I'm free of the bad panic and anxiety disorder that I suffered from for 9 long years. Praise the Lord! 

I will close up my post with a photo collage of our Midsummer pictures. We spent and celebrated the midsummer at my in-laws in Varkaus. We had a good time. :)

 You will surely hear from me soon, with photos of my crafts and such. :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend my friends. :)
