Flickr

Do you know Flickr.com? It's an awesome website where you can upload your pics. There is a challenge going on there and it's called 365 days! You need to take a pic of yourself (or a body part) every day and that for 1 year long. I'm taking part in it and I'm on day 68 now. Go to my Flickr page and check my photos. You can see 2 of them on this entry. You can find the link to flickr on the right of my blog. Just press on it and you'll be on my page. Don't forget to leave a comment and maybe you can start with it too.

New Layouts

Hi everyone,
I worked on my Turkey album and finished 2 double pages. The first one is about the hotel where we stayed and the second one is a view from the beach and garden.

Enjoy your weekend.

Scrap your childhood

I made this page for the 'Scrap your childhood' challenge at 2peas! We had to create a page about the tv programms we watched as a kid.
Here are some of my favourites. Maybe you've watched some as a kid too.
De smurfen, de freggles, de snorkels, Boes, Liegebeest, Seabert, Tjilp de mus, Candy candy, de fabeltjeskrant, Dommel, Tik Tak, Ovide, De grote meneer cactusshow, David de kabouter, Mik Mak en Mon, ...
Sorry but I only know the titles in Dutch.

Sick

Eric didn't open his pub yesterday as he was ill. When I came home from work I was suprised to see him at home. We enjoyed each others company. It was great to be together. Not so great for Eric as he had to sneeze and blow his nose the whole time.

Guess what I had when I woke up this morning????? Indeed, running nose, sneezing the whole time, heavy head!! Yep, I'm sick too. Went to work today as I didn't have to work this afternoon.

I'm off to bed, hope a little sleep will help to feel better tomorrow

I started my album about our holiday in Turkey. These are the first pages about the flight and airport. I used some love, Elsie paper.

This evening I have a meeting with the staff in our school so I'm sure this will be boring. It's always like that. Yikes!! Can't wait till it's 6 pm so that I can go home and maybe scrap some more.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Brugge

I made this page for the challenge on the Art Noevoo blog. We had to be tourists in our own country and make a LO about it. My grandmother lives in Brugge and I really love this city. It has a lot of historical houses and beautiful water canals.

Of course there are lots of shops and cosy pubs. Yeah, Brugge is my favourite city!!

(Revlie, I think that I used one of your LO's as inspiration)

More Turkey pics

Yes, indeed, there are still some pics left.

The first week at school was good. I love to teach again. The only thing I hate right now is that I'm still not in my sleeping routine. I can't sleep enough. During summer holidays, I went to bed around midnight but now I need to be in bed around 10.30 pm or I'm too sleepy in the morning. When I'm in bed at 10.30, I'm not tired enough to sleep. I wake up again around 3-4 am and have trouble sleeping again. My alarm is set at 7 am so that doesn't give me a lot of time to sleep. Oh well, I guess I will get used to it in some weeks.

Enjoy the pictures

I couldn't resist this cutie

First schooldays

My first days of the schoolyear was good. I was supernervous and couldn't sleep the day before but I guess all teachers are like that. In the morning it was busy because there were books, writing blocks, ... to give to the kids. In the afternoon I started my first lessons and they went ok. It was like I haven't been on summer holidays. All kids were nice and friendly. In the evening, I was so tired. I worked for school till 8 pm and then relaxed. I watched some tv till 10.30 pm and then went to bed.

Today was the second day and I wasn't nervous at all. In the afternoon I got a nice drawing from a girls in my class. She has written 'You are a beautiful and sweet teacher'. I was soooo happy. It's now on the wall in my classroom. Always nice to read stuff like that.

Later today, my sister came to give me my birthday present. I was so happy to see her as she lives 200 kms away from me. She had to be in my city for her job so she came to my house for a quick visit. Guess what she gave me????? A coupon for a wellness center. I can choose from 10 wellness centers, isn't that great?? My sister is such a fantastic girl. Love you, Goelie!!!

Getting nervous

Only 1 day to go and then school starts again in Belgium. Many kids will be sad that the summer vacation is over and so will I. I'll go teaching again. Last year, I didn't have many teaching hours but this year I'll work full time. It will be a big diffrence to me and Eric. I'll be less at home and when I get home, I'll have tons of schoolwork. Oh well, I don't mind. At least I will earn more money, haha. I've done my lesson planning for the first week but I'm still very nervous. It's always like that on the first day after summer vacation.

I made some new LO's the past weeks. Enjoy watching them.

Mmmm, I love mussels

to myself!

Yes, I'm turning 28 today. OMG, that sounds old to me. Only 2 years to go and then I'm 30.

No special plans for me today. Eric has to work the whole day and evening so I decided to go to my grandmother together with my dad. Maybe I'll buy myself a present, haha.

Turkey was great

Hi everyone,
I'm back!! Turkey was fantastic. The weather was hot and sunny. Very diffrent from the cold and rain here in Belgium. We relaxed a lot and I've read 2,5 books during this week. In the evening we had a few drinks in a bar. Not a discotheque, just quiet music and nice people.
I'll show you some pics about the trip. Have fun watching them.

We're gone ...

Yes, we leave to Içmeler, Turkey on Tuesday morning. Our plane takes off at 6 am so we'll leave our house in the middle of the night.
We'll be back on Tuesday August 21st in the evening. See you all then (it will be Wednesday till I'm online again).

More lay-outs

Here are the two pages I made on the crop last Wednesday at Kelly's place. I promised to show them to you but forgot. Shame on me!!

In April we went to the sea for 2 days. Made this page with some pics that show how our days were.

Enjoy your Thursday!!

Amazing crop

Wednesday evening, I had a fantastic time. Kelly invited me for a crop at her place. We were with 7 girls, all ready to scrap. I made 2 pages. Hope to post them next time.

Kelly's boyfriend made us some mozarella with herbs toast and it was yummie!! There were some fresh vegetables with sauce and chips too.

Thanks Kelly for this fantastic crop!!! You rock!

Travel Journal, Love Elsie

I made a travel journal for my upcoming trip to Turkey. I used the love, Elsie papers!!! Love working with those as it's a stunning line, don't you think?

25th birthday

Almost 3 years ago, Eric organised a suprise party for my 25th birthday. I made a page about this wonderful party with all my friends. It was fantastic and I was so surprised that I started crying when I saw everybody there. I didn't want to go in as I was a bit shocked, haha.


I used white cardstock and blue paint. The '25' are thickers. Just love thickers.

Have a wonderful weekend and if you are scrapping: be creative!!

I have been tagged by Charlotte and Didi

Here are 5 other people who have fantastic blogs. Of course there are many others but I can only choose 5.
Talesfromthecrib, Rianne, Vanessa, Birgit Koopsen and Domestic Goddess.
You can find their blogs on the right side of my blog.

I am the happiest person in the world!!! Now you are wondering 'why'. Well, last night (2 am), Eric and I returned from his pub. We both heard a strange noise in the garden. We had a closer look and there was Baileys. Alive and kicking!!! I was so happy to see her again that I opened the door immediatly and she walked in our kitchen. Nothing strange going on with her. She was not skinny at all, just a little scared from sudden noises. She has been gone for 2,5 weeks. I really wonder where she has been. Unfortunatly she can't tell me, haha.I was watching tv and she jumped on my lap and we started cuddling. She's sooooo sweet.

that's life

Hi everyone,
How's life over there? Weather has changed from beautiful sunny weather into grey, rainy weather. We had a thunderstorm this morning with lots of rain. Lucky, we didn't get any damage. Some people have problems because water came into their house.
Yesterday we went to Sluis. That's a city in the Netherlands, just across the border. The weather was great so we enjoyed walking around the city. We had lunch there too. I ate a French salad with warm camebert cheese. Yummie!!!!!

Today I had to have my car checked again. Once a year we need to go to the official place to get our car checked. If something is wrong, we get a red card and if it's OK we get a green one. I went last week and got a red card because there was something wrong with my breakes at the right back side. Got that fixed and went again this morning. Guess what????? I got another red card as there was something wrong with my left front breaks. Can you believe that? So I need to go again (and pay again). I'm so angry!!!!!

Hope your day is better than mine.

ps: Baileys is still missing. Nobody saw her.....

Photography

I made this page last Sunday. The pics are taking in the bathroom of the Novotel at Disneyland Paris. Journaling is about my passion for photography and my wish to own a Nikon D80. My dad has a Nikon D 70 and I could use him in Disneyland.
