So now we hope that she can without chemo's for a long time and that's she's feeling good, so that we're going to do alot a fun things together!!!
Thanks girls for the sweet comments on my last post:):):):)

i'm afraid....

I haven't post on my blog for almost two weeks....and I also didn't scrap (only made one lo as a dt-member for ButterflyCrafts, but I can't show you yet).......but this evening I have made this lo using the Sketchy Thursdays sketch.........

'I'm afraid'...........

...the journaling is in Dutch...I'll try to translate it....

" I'm afraid....afraid for Wednesday...then my mom have to go to the hospital for the result of the CT-scan... I'm afraid...afraid that we get bad news again... I know that she can't win this fight/disease, but I hope so that the tumors didn't grow further, so that she's having more time with us... I still want to do so many things together with her, want to ask her so much more questions.... but for how long?"

"Ik ben bang...bang voor woensdag....dan krijgt mam de uitslag van de CT-scan....Ik ben bang...bang dat het opnieuw slecht nieuws is...Ik weet dat ze niet meer beter wordt, maar ik hoop zo dat de tumoren niet verder zijn gegroeid, zodat ze nog langer bij ons kan blijven...Ik wil nog zoveel fijne dingen met haar ondernemen, nog zoveel vragen....maar voor hoe lang kan dit nog?"

Since last week I felt so nervous and afraid..and now it feels good that I have scrapt about it, that I put my feelings on this page!

Now we have to wait till Wednesday for the result....Then I'll light a candle beside the little angel. Everytime my mom had to go to the hospital for chemo's or for tests and I'm at home...then I light a candle for her.....and everytime I hope that it will help....well after two years having this terrible disease, my dear mom is still with us!!!

Last weekend Richard and I went away with our camper and canoes to the Weerribben (that's is a national park with alot of canals in the north of the Netherlands) Saturday we have canoet (???) the all afternoon....it was wonderful and so peacefull/calm....only nature around you, water-birds, flowers, sun and the sound of the wind!!! Yes this was really a good idea of Richard (because first I didn't want to go away from home)!!!

A while ago I have received this award from Viv (thank you :).... and when you receive this award you have to tell 7 things about yourself.............so here are 7 things about me.....

5. i blush when i speak with other people (hate it!)

6. i'm not so sweet as people think (and Richard knows that ;D;D)

7. just one more thing about me...hmmm...i really want to be a mom!!!

I want to give this award to.... Marit and Yvonne(Yyam)

Ooohhh...and before I jump into my bed (it's allready to late)....I haven't post that I won Scrapping the Music with 'Footloose' , that I was the random winner and a dt-fave at Sketchy Thursday's!!! So two prizes are coming my way by plane soon:):):) Oohhhhhh....i love, love happy mailllllllllll!!!!!!!

Wish you all a good night (or day;) and thanks for stopping by!!!!

a day off...

Last Friday evening Richard and I went  to Callantsoog (a village at the North-sea)...it was the first time this year we traveled together with the camper and it was only for one night and day (because I had to work on Sunday)...but it felt like a whole weekend! Saturday morning we walked some hours on the beach, it was a little bit cold...but the sun was shining and the sky was blue and we were almost the only people on the beach.....it was so peacefully!!!

...And today I have made a lo with one of the pictures I took last Saturday. I have used the Sketchy Thursday sketch......

...'wat een rust'....'so peacefully'....

Because I had the day off today...I have spent alot of hours in my scraproom and made another two lo's...
This one I made for the challenge of Scrapping the music, with this week the song 'Footloose'.......

....and I made a lo for the Dutch  Scrappassion challengeblog . I found this challengeblog on Petra's blog..... the challenge is to use the advertisement below as inspiration for a layout with an old schoolpicture of yourself...

...I have used the colors from the advertisement and on the sixth picture I saw a little rainbow, so I have placed two rainbows on the lo. The page with the tree stamps I took from an old schoolnotebook from my childhood (boom = tree)...

...'Bijna 6'...'Almost 6'.....

I'm off now... it's almost time for the Dutch tv show 'Single' and I don't want to miss that! TFL!!!

relax....

...that's what I did today.....I didn't feel so well yesterday and I want to go to my work tomorrow...so I took a relax day today....and it's beautiful weather for it....the sun is shining, the birds are singing and I hear childeren having fun with playing outside....the dust inside the house is dancing around me, but today I don't care....I have a RELAX day!!!!! I just drunk my cup of tea in the garden, sitting in the sun and I wish it could be alway's like this!

And  I also made a 'relax' lo...using the Sketchy Thursdays sketch......

Relax...take it easy....

The picture we took last September on the rooftop of the hotel on the Dutch island Terschelling, where we (my mom, sis and I) stayed for a long weekend. And it were some real relaxing day's...not only for the picture;)

About this weekend I also made a minibook for my sisters birthday, that I haven't show you yet......here're some pages of it....

Before I leave just one more thing.... A time ago I received  this award from Yvonne and I still didn't post my 10 happy things....and now I also received the same award from Jenneke....so it's time now to tell you the things that makes me HAPPY!!!

my fave tv show(s)....

Yesterday I have finished my minibook about my fave tv shows from my childhood for the TAAFOMFT challenge....pffff....it was alot of sewing work! But i'm happy with the result :) .....The cover I made from leather and the pages with different pieces fabric and a lot of frayed(???) to give it an 'old' look....

'dag lieve kijkbuis kinderen' = 'hello dear goggle box(???)children'...that's what 'meneer de uil' alway's said

...and there's 'Meneer de Uil' from the 'Fabeltjes krant' = mr. Owl from the Fairy-tale newspaper

On every pages I have stamped and stitched text from the songs of the tv show, and the pictures I have printed with t-shirt transfer on fabric

...and ofcourse one of my faves is Pipi Langkous!!!!

...and you all know Sesamestreet!!?

...Pieter Post = Postman Pat...I must say that I still love this tv program :) It makes me calm when I'm a little nervous, hahaha!

...The adventures of Nils Holgersson and his goose

...'de familie Knots'..oooh this was such a fantastic tv show...I loved the character 'tante Til' = aunt Til...she alway's said when she paints with her pink paint....'een kloddertje roze verf hieeeer en een kloddertje roze verf daaaar!'....well now I have to translate this, hahaha...uhmmmm....'a little blob pink heeeeere and a little blob pink theeeeeere'

...and here we have the famous 'Ome Willem' (uncle Willem) with his 'broodje poep' ...how can I say it in English???...uhmmm....'a bread of shit'...oops, don't know a decently word for it, sorry!

...and the last one...Barbapapa!  This was the last one in my minibook, but it was hard for me to choose. because there're so many more shows that I loved!

Wish you a happy (Easter)Monday!!!

Just a quick post to show two cards I made last night for card challenges and then I'm off to my work.....

This one I made by using CPS sketch #160............

It's time to celebrate.....

And the second card I made for the new challenge of Get Sketchy #32.....

Have a great Saturday!!!!

a new month....

BUTTERFLY CRAFTS....

The first day of April...."1 april kikker in je bil"....foolish day....did you made some jokes yet? hmmm, me not...mostly I'm the person who get fooled :(....but the first day of a new month also means that the new visual challenge at ButterflyCrafts is online now.............
...the challenge this time is...Create a LO using this advert as inspiration.....

And this is what I have made of it....'You're a star in heaven'.....

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

On the picture you see my cat Boef, who past away some years ago...he and Quibus (who's also not with us anymore) were my first own cats...I took them from an animals asylum when I got my own house and I never felt alone with them around me, they were very special!
So if you have time....play along this great challenge and have a chance to win the April prize from 'Allthingschula'

 

 

SCRAPPING THE MUSIC...

 

....And I made also a lo about Quibus...this one I made for the challenge of Scrapping the Music  ...with the awesome song 'Fireflies'....I have used one word from the lyrics 'farewell' and I found this 'fireflies' paper in a magazine..........

 

On the picture you see Mees who is 'saying' farewell to Quibus...when Quibus died I lay him down in a shoebox with a soft blanket, when Boef came...he began to snuffle and put his paw on Quibus that didn't move anymore...that was such a beautiful moment!

And I made some too...this one I made using sketch 57 from CardPatterns .....

...and this one I made using the sketch 31 from GetSketchy............

I have to work with Easter, so I had/have some day's off now and then I want to spent them good...so I made all these scraps and also this cute box (who I got from my sister).... I covered it with 'Pip' paper....

Wish you all a happy Easter...with alot of yummy chocolate egs :)
