a stormy day......

Outside it's raining and stormy wether and I'm happy that I only had to leave the house this morning for some shopping and the rest of the day I stayed cosy inside the house. I did clean the house, some scrapping and I have called my mom.....she's still in the hospital , she feels much better and she don't have an infusion anymore. Tomorrow she will have a ct-scan and Friday they'll begin with the new chemo therapy. And when she still feels 'ok', then she can go home Saturday. I hope so!!!

Buiten is het stormachtig weer en ik ben blij dat ik alleen maar vanmorgen even uit huis moest voor een paar boodschappen. En de rest van de dag ben ik lekker binnen gebleven. Ik heb schoon gemaakt in huis (was wel nodig), vanmiddag zitten scrappen en ik heb mijn moeder gebeld..... ze ligt nog steeds in het ziekenhuis, maar voelt zich gelukkig al een heel stuk beter en ze heeft inmiddels ook geen infuus meer nodig. Morgen krijgt ze een ct-scan en vrijdag willen ze weer gaan beginnen met een nieuwe reeks van chemo's. En als ze zich daarna 'ok' voelt mag ze zaterdag naar huis. Ik hoop dat dat gaat lukken!!!

This page I made today... it's for the challenge of Scrapping out Loud.... this time you have to use numbers on your page...........

who: ME , age: 5.... (I have used also the word of the week "age")


Last Sunday my friend Anne-wil came over and ofcourse we stayed in my scraproom:) We made a board for postcards or pictures or what you like.... we want to use it for the received x-mas cards....

Afgelopen zondag is Anne-wil bij ons en natuurlijk hebben we de tijd doorgebracht in mijn scrapkamer:) We hebben een memo/kaarten bord gemaakt..........

...we had a lot of fun and eaten some yummy chocolat -'pepernoten'..... Last Saturday "Sinterklaas"(almost the same as Santa with x-mas) arrived the country, so I couldn't resist it to buy 'pepernoten'!

...het was een super gezellig middag en we hebben heerlijke chocolade-pepernoten gegeten, daar is nu wel weer tijd voor!

...this one made by Anne-wil.....

....and this one made by me...

.....And because I want to give my nieces and nephews something handmade for 'Sinterklaas' (5 dec).... I want to make also one for each of them:) I have finished already 3 and have to make another 3 (well it's not so funny anymore to make it;);)

.....En natuurlijk wil ik met Sinterklaas ook een zelfgemaakt kadootje geven aan mijn nichtjes en neefjes... dus wil ik voor hun ook een memobord gaan maken....ik heb er inmiddels al 3 af en moet er nu nog 3 maken (het leuke van het maken is er nu wel een beetje van af;);)

To finish...some happy news....I'm one of the winners of the last challenge of 'These are a few of my Favorite things'(with the Norway 2-page's)..... and I won the super prize donated by DT member Hanneke!

En als laatste nog leuk nieuws.... ik ben een van de winnaars van de laatste challenge van 'TAAFOMFT'....en ik heb de super prijs gewonnen van DT lid Hanneke!

Scapping out Loud.....CPS card sketches.....

My sleeping cuties......

....I made this lo for Scrapping out Loud....and their challenge for this week is : "Cooking up something good!- This week is a recipe challenge, no, no we don't want you to scrap a recipe again, we want you to follow the recipe below to cook up a delicious LO!
3 circles, 1 picture, 5 buttons, scallops,1 heart"


...Deze lo heb ik voor Scrapping out Loud gemaakt... en de challenge van deze week is dat je volgende spullen op je lo moet gebruiken: 3 cirkels, 1 foto, 5 knopen, 'scallops' en 1 hart.
--------------------------------------
Home sweet home........... I made this card for the challenge of CPS card sketches... #141

Home sweet home... deze kaart heb ik gemaakt voor de challenge van CPS card sketches...

...and I have sent it to my sister, brother-in-law and children... because this weekend they will sleep the first night in their new home...and Monday my niece and nephew will go to the new school, so that will be very exciting for them!


...en ik heb de kaart al verstuurd naar mijn zus Esther, zwager Leo en de kinderen... omdat zij dit weekend voor het eerst in hun nieuwe huis blijven slapen... en maandag gaan Lotte en Jurre naar hun nieuwe school, dat zal wel een spannende dag voor hun worden!
---------------------------
Wednesday it was a FUN day!!! I went together with my friend Manon to the 'Kreadoe' in Utrecht (that's a big hobby-event). We had a super day and ofcourse I bought many scrap stuff!
I haven't seen my friend for a long time, because we don't live near eachother, but it was fun like old times!!!


Woensdag ben ik samen met mijn vriendin Manon naar de Kreadoe in Utrecht geweest. Het was een SUPER leuke dag en natuurlijk heb ik veel scrap spullen gekocht! Manon had ik al een tijdje niet meer gezien, we wonen nogal een eind bijelkaar vandaan, maar het was weer als van ouds gezellig samen! Manon bedankt voor de leuke dag en de afleiding!!!

...and here my new yummy,yummy scrap stuff, can't wait to play with it....


And now some not so good news........Since last Tuesday my mom is at the hospital.....after a week of throw-up, she has lost many weight and she is dehydrated (is this the right word for it?)
My mom has cancer (you can read here the blogpost about it) and soon she must begin with a new chemotherapy, but now she's to weak. So she's at the hospital now to recover. And since yesterday she didn't throw-up anymore and she looks so much better! I hope she can come home soon!!!


En nu wat minder goed nieuws.... Sinds dinsdag ligt mijn moeder in het ziekenhuis... na een week van overgeven heeft ze veel gewicht verloren en al aardig uitgedroogd. Mijn moeder heeft kanker (hier kan je mijn post erover lezen) en binnenkort moet zij weer met een nieuwe chemo kuur beginnen, maar daar is zij nu veel te zwak voor. Ze is nu opgenomen om weer wat aan te sterken en sinds gisteren heeft ze gelukkig niet meer overgegeven. En ze zag er gelukkig al weer een heel stuk beter uit! Ik hoop dat ze snel weer naar huis mag!!!

Thanks for looking and have a nice (Halloween)weekend:):):)

Time flies when you having fun.....

This weeks challenge at Scrapping out Loud.........

It's about time!
"Since the days seem to be getting longer and longer, it would be nice to scrap about time. Maybe having loads of it, or not enough..perhaps a daily schedule, or a saying such as 'time to reflect'. There are loads of clock, calendar and number products on the market, and I am sure we all have something time-related to use! Have fun!Check out the design team layouts....."

And this is what I have made of it........

Time flies when you having fun....
...with a picture of my dad and niece Lotte playing with a kite on the beach....

This time I also used the scketch....


Today it's grey outside...and I don't have to go outside, so a perfect day to do some scrapping (again:).....For my furryfriend Mees it's a lazyday also.....



Have a nice Thursday!!!
