Biggest village fair of Europe

Every year in the summer there's a big village fair in Tilburg.It's huge and full of big attractions and yummy food!We go to the village fair every year and we always have so much fun!This year it was Julian's second time at the village fair and he really get's it now.Last year he was only 1 year old so he was a little bit too small for the attractions.So yesterday afternoon it was all about the kids and so we went to do all the children attractions.As you can see,he is having a blast!

Can't wait to scrap these :D


























































































Talking about scrapbooking,i made a layout yesterday.These pictures are from Artis Zoo and i had a real hard time scrapping them.I am not really good at using a lot of pictures on 1 page,so i am working on that.Going to try that more on my future layouts.I like the result though :)

I am still busy sorting out my scrapbook stuff and i think i am going to do a bit of a non scrapbooking RAK,with vintage and unusual/non scrapbooking items.So don't forget to check it out next week!

Maxim is already 1 month old next week.Wow time flies when youre having fun.He is already changing and he also smiled this week,so cute.Have to make some more pictures of him,i totally forgot this week.Guess it's because i am REALLY tired...5/6 hours sleep is not enough for me LOL

I am going to Heesch "de scrapbookwinkel" this Sunday and i am sooooo excited!I havn't been there for a while and i can't remember the last time i did some scrapbook shopping in a store instead of online.If youre going too this Sunday,let me know!I love seeying a familiar face.Okay happy scrapping girls,and have a great weekend!

Sorting out my stuff

No new layouts to show because i am busy with sorting out all my scrapbooking stuff.My room went from "a beautiful mess" to a huge mess,so it was time for a make-over.So i started with Julian his layouts and put them all in albums.I didn't know i had so many layouts of Julian...














So when i was sorting out his layouts i saw a lot of old pages i totally forgot,including my first spread.My style has really changed since then but still you can see some similarity.I love to stitch on my pages,although it's been a while since my sewing machine is at my mom's house...

Ofcourse my first spread is really simple and ugly,but that's why i had to show it to you.I really cherish it because i think it's really special i am still scrapbooking after so long.I have never had this with any other craft.I would love to see your first layout!So if you have a link,please share it :D







































Will be back soon with some new layouts and a cool RAK!!So be sure to check it out...

P.S.Does anyone know how i can link a picture in my sidebar??

Sometimes it's hard living together with 2 super models LOL I think my boys are sooo beautiful and cute on these pictures.I took them on my B-Day,which was a relaxed day with a nice trip to the Efteling(themepark) and my all time favorite food Soto soup(Indonesian chicken soup)

Have a nice weekend girls with hopefully lots of scrapping!

P.S.I totally forgot to thank everyone for their beautiful baby cards and presents,i didn't expect anything so it was such a nice suprise!

Time for a picture update and some sneaks

Sorry i didnt update for a long time but i just had no time.I had some asignments i had to finish and now that they are all done i finally have some time for myself!Things are going great here and Maxim is doing so great.I can tell you a whole story about how much i hate letting Maxim burp(He doesnt burp when he sleeps....),but thats a bit boring :)

So here are some pictures and sneakpeeks.Hope to be back with some funky layouts!

P.S.Tomorrow it's my B-Day!I totally forgot LOL

Sneaks

The story begins...

So i went to the hospital on Saturday to hear what they were going to do.After they checked everything they decided to get the baby on Sunday.On Saturday evening my water broke and i thought it looked a bit yellow so i called the hospital.They said i had to come over so they could check the water.This was around 1 AM,my mother wasn't so happy about that :D When we came there they said everything was fine and i had to come back 8Am.So when i came there they checked everything but i wasn't having contractions,so i had to wait for a while to look if they would start in a "natural"way.But they didn't!So around 10 Am they gave me something that would start the contractions,but it didn't work all that well in the beginning.Around 12 Am i was still having 4 cm,but after that everything went REALLY fast.Around 12.45 my mother had to call the doctor because i said i had to push and she said that was fine because i was having 10 cm.I only pushed for 4/5 times and there he was!

My mother made these really cool baskets for me and Julian,i think they look wayyyy cute!Julian get's to unwrap a present everyday and he enjoys it big time.He is sooo proud of his little brother which is so precious to see,i will cherish that forever.Ofcourse he was having some trouble in the beginning with the bottles and soothers of his little brother,but it is going great and i love to see that everyday.

I wan't to thank you all for the sweet comments and congratulations,it really felt good reading all of them.Sorry if i havn't respond to your email or anything but i need to recover a bit more.I didn't get any stitches(i was sooo happy about that)but i do have some other small things that need some recovering.So now it's time to enjoy,thanks again girls!

It's a boy!

Relax girls...

No baby jet :D I went to the hospital yesterday and the baby was fine.I had to stay for almost an hour so they could check the baby's heartbeat.I have to come back this Saturday,and they will then decide if they are going to get it then or on Sunday...This is really taking forever!Guess this baby is really relaxed LOL I am still feeling great,but i can't sleep that well anymore.Oh well,guess i can't complain about that...

Have to do a lot of asignments this and next week but i also finished a lo for Birgit's sketch.I just had to do something for me.I think these pictures are just too funny!!

Baby update and SAZ/Scrap! layouts

Okay so i went to the doctor yesterday and the baby was doing fine.My bloodpressure was still good,so i don't have to watch what i eat.Lucky me!I have an appointment at the Hospital this Tuesday to check if everything is okay.Then i finally get an appointment to pull this baby out of me LOL But i have a "feeling" it's not gonna last that long...I think the baby will be here on Sunday,what do you think??Or maybe that's just hope? :)

Okay time to show some stuff!Here is the cover of the felt album i started at Celine's workshop.I really wanted to make this album about me,so i thought a style diary would be nice...

These are the layouts i made for the first paper issue of SAZ.

And these are the layouts i made for the latest Scrap!

Time to order some new pictures and getting busy with my new assignments.Happy scrapping!

Nope no baby jet...

Sorry to keep you girls waiting,but this weather is killing me (again)!!I can't scrap,shop or do anything useful...It's just way too HOT!I think this baby thinks it's just fine inside of me because he is not planning to come out anytime soon.Well ive got news for him LOL I am going to the doctor this afternoon so i hope i get an appointment for the hospital.My feet,hands and ankles are really swollen up,sooo anoying.I feel like a muppet :D

Anyway enough for the complaining!These things are not huge so i can really say i am blessed.The last time my bloodpressure and everything was okay,so i hope it's still okay and i can still eat salt and everything.That would make life so much easier lol

Will update this afternoon with the baby news and some layouts i made for the first paper issue of SAZ.I also finished my cover for the mini felt album i started at Celine's workshop.I really LOVE working on this project!I have never had that with a mini album...

Okay i'll be back :D

Photo op

That's the title of the page that Amber (Skolnick)made me,and i LOVE it!!I'm a huge fan of the color combo yellow and orange.I guess that's why i used it for Julian's babyroom...Do you see all those little details??Gotta try the framing with paint sometime,i think it looks awesome!

I also did some scrapping myself...It feels so good being creative again,i really missed scrapbooking a lot!Guess it's time for some shopping :)
For the second layout i used 1 of Elsie's sketches,this was FUN!

































Are you girls going to the xtreme weekend in Katwijk aan Zee??Please share it with me,because i am curious LOL I will be there on Saturday and i think it's going to be LOTS of fun...

I have a lot of asignments coming up this week,so i hope to do some fun scrapping this weekend...

Yes i did it!

I did some scrapping again!I dragged myself to my desk yesterday and scrapped all evening,it felt sooo good!They are both verry different but i had fun making them both.I guess i will be scrapping these last couple of days before the baby arrives...

Sorry no pictures of the baby room jet,i wanted to scrap instead of take pictures...But hey i give it a week or 2 maybe.My duedate is this Saturday,but the doctor says i am going to be late again.Well we shall see :)

I did take a picture of Julian yesterday so i could show his dad i cut Julian his hair myself. Still i like his hair big and messy but i guess i was the only 1.LOL He looks so big on this picture,he is growing up way to fast for me...

Be sure to check back,because i will be uploading more layouts this week!

Baby sheets

Okay as promised,here are the pictures of my handmade baby sheets.I also made a purple sheet with some lace,but i forgot it at my mother's house,so i will show that 1 somewhere this week.

I am doing great,although the weather is just terrible!It's so HOT that i can't wait for some rain...Just 1 more week (or 2) and i will deliver another baby boy.I really can't wait for that moment when you see your baby for the first time.It's SO special...My mom said that when i held Julian for the first time i kept saying;He is sooo beautiful LOL

I have done some scrapping for Cj's,and hopefully will do some scrapping for me tonight...

Will make some pictures of my scrap/bed/baby room,so you can see how it looks :D

P.S.Be sure to check out Marieke's blog,this girl totally rocks!!She is way talented,love you girly!

If you can't scrap...

you SHOP!I always scrap in the evening,because i can't scrap when Julian is awake.But now a days i am sooo tired in the evening that i can't find the energy to start scrapping,and most of the time end up on the couch watching a stupid movie...So instead of scrapping my mother and me went for some nice (crochet)lace shopping.I found this really cool little store that sells ribbon,lace,fabric and buttons.They are only open on every first Saturday of the month and every tuesday for 3 hours.Which makes it a bit mysterious right?LOL

So i had to do something with all of that lace i bought,so my mother teached me how to make a baby sheet.Okay i am totally addicted!It was my first time making something on my sewing machine,and i loved it.Hope to make some more cute stuff on my sewing machine...So if you have some cute projects to start with,please let me know.Please keep in mind that i'm a newbie :)

I had to make this picture of Julian's cute rainboots to make sure i will never forget them.It was LOVE at first sight in the shop.Can't wait to scrap this picture!

Okay will update my blog tomorrow with some pictures of my baby sheets and hope i can show you some scrapping stuff...
