Zumba

Daphné and I went to our first Zumba class together. Waw, this is really fun. The music really invites you to move and dance. It's like you are on a vacation in the Caribean. It was so much fun to move again after being lazy for almost 1 year. After the class I was wondering why I didn't start this earlier. Yeah, I'm addicted to ZUMBA!!! And this after only 1 lesson :-)

Dizzy

On Monday I saw that one of those little brown spots on my body (don't know the name in English) was bigger and it was bleeding a bit. I was so worried that I phoned my doctor and I had to go and see him in the evening. He told me that it had to be removed and send to the lab for examination. Today, the doctor removed it. I was so nervous that I got dizzy during the little surgery. I had to lay down with my feet up till I was feeling better.
Right now, the anestetics are not working anymore and it's getting sore. Still feel a bit dizzy too ...
I hope the result will be good.

My week in pics and some scrapbooking

Another week in pictures. I know, I'm terribly behind since I started in January but here is last week.

May 10: Every 3 year we have a cat parade in our city

May 12: Looking through the order book for next school year. Need to order new manuals for the kids.

May 13: I made tomato soup with little meat balls in it

May 14: Took a relaxing, hot bath

May 16: Went to the scrapbook store to buy some new stuff

Finally found some time to scrap.

Made a page about my dad with his 'Opinel'. That's a brand of knives. He always has this pocket knife with him in his car. He uses it for all kind of stuff. Mostly when we have a picnic.

This is my sister and I. She lives a 2 hours drive from my home. Last month her boyfriend broke up with her after 6 years. I went to see her during the weekend. While I was there we went shopping to cheer her up. On that moment we decided to buy colourful clothes instead of black, brown or white.

Wedding

Almost a month ago we had a wedding to attend. My sister came over to our house to stay with us. On the first pic you can see my sis and I getting ready in the bathroom. The other pics are showing us, ready to go to the party.

Pictures + RAK

The youngest son of Eric is having his confirmation on May 17th. I made some pics of him to use as a gift to the people who come to celebrate with us.

And a RAK

Sarah is cleaning up her scraproom and she gives another RAK. So go over there quickly and have a look

Cavas

I made a canvas for my sister. First I painted it green, then added the flowers to the picture. Finally I decorated it with owls, more flowers, a deer, title and quote.

What do you think about it? My sister loved it and it's decorating her living room right now.

New bed

We bought a new bed. Our old bed was not good anymore. We had trouble sleeping and we were still very tired when we woke up. Now we have the bed we always wanted. It has a boxspring an

d that's so soft to sleep on. We went to Ikea to buy some new bed sheets and cushions. What do you think about it?

Hey there

Just a quick post to let you know that my mum is doing fine. The surgery was difficult and she had lots of pain. She stayed in hospital for 1,5 week and has to stay at home for about 6 weeks. All she can do is rest and relax. We were all happy to hear that the tumor was not cancer.

I think spring has found it's way to Belgium. The weather is sunny and about 17 degrees. This afternoon we are going to Ikea to do some shopping. We have bought a new bed and it will be delivered next week. On the bed I want lots of cushions and nice bed clothes. I love bright lemon green so maybe I'll try to find some stuff with that colour.

Next week I'll have Easter holidays. Can't wait to have some time to scrap and read books. I'm missing scrapping so much :-(

Surprise birthday party

On Saturday, March 7th, we were invited to a surprise birthday party. We all had to be dressed in a disco outfit. The birthday girl turned 50!! Her husband is a client of our pub so we were invited too. It was so much fun. I danced a lot and even Eric tried the dancefloor :-)

Eric is in the middle

Finally another update

Life has been hectic over here. My mother is in hospital since a week. She had to go through a surgery. I go there every evening so I don't have much time left for anything else.

Three weeks ago, we went to Gent for 2 nights. Gent is a wonderful, medieval city. I went there to study to become a teacher. I stayed there for 4 years. It was like a trip back in time for me :-)

Warning: long photo post!!!

This one and the next one are my favourite ones.

Medieval building

Can you believe this??? This is a pub called 'the littel bike'. It has all kinds of bikes and other stuff on the ceiling. It is so packed with stuff that there are only 2 tables. I guess there is only place for 8 people.

The owner of the shop

Lovely dinner

We went for a late drink and saw a couple that we know. It was his birthday so we ended up drinking champagne

This street is called 'grafiti street'. Hmmm, why did it get that name??

The old post office, now a shopping mall.

There are so many nice bars in Gent. This is one of them. Can you see Eric and me??
