Xtreme Home Make Over @ Fauve's...

I decided to give my "walk-in "closet a make over,because it was a mess and i couldn't find anything!Unfortunately my son wrecked my scrap closet.(Don't ask how he did it!)And the two parts were standing in my closet space untill i got a chance to throw it away.I decided to use it untill i find a better way to store my bags and stuff.This is how my closet looks now.Kinda cute for a closet from home (s)crap right? Look at my cute pink underskirt i bought for 25ct!Next to it is my too expensive scarf from DKNY,gotta love the mix! I wanted to show you a little peek in my closet too,lot's of vintage and black clothes.The other closet is a bit of a mess,but oh well who cares.I was counting my coats the other day...There are 24 coats and 14 of them are Black,so crazy!You can see some of my sunglasses,i have a thing for them.I am very happy with my "new" gold Vintage Dior sunglasses,will make a picture with them sometime soon.I also love necklaces,especially Pearls...I won't show you the rest of my collections,or you will all send me to a home for lunatics.

I will show you this awesome Vintage magazine i bought back from 1939!!It's extremely thick and has all these advertisements and articles for Woman in it.It's called the Libelle and probably known to many Dutchies.It's so beautiful i am afraid to cut it up.I love thrift stores and carboot sales,it's the best place to find unique things.A lot of people i know think it's yuk and stupid,but luckily my family enjoy's it too! :)Yes,i also did some scrapping.Here they are!Happy scrapping,i'll be back soon.

Hooray for fabulous B-day's!

So my planning was to update earlier this week,but my mom came to pick me up by suprise!A nice suprise because now i didn't have to go by train.My mom decorated her whole house with guirlands and it looked like B-day heaven :) I already got a lot of my presents like my vacation to Landal Greenparks in Germany and my upcoming holiday in France,but she saved THE BEST presents for last.She already gave me some hints on her blog,but i didn't have a clue!Turned out she made me this amazingly cute apron with my name crocheted on.I LOVE LOVE LOVE it,couldn't be any cuter.Ofcourse i knew that my mom was going to make me a b-day cake.She has been talking about it since Julian's b-day,but she never told me what she was going to make.I only made one request,i wanted strawberries in it!So after a whole day of being banned from the kitchen,they were singing and i could finally see it.It was jaw droppingly beautiful!!Look at it...
Thanks Mommy for making my B-day extra special!
Please leave her some Love here,for this beautiful b-day cake!!
After the cake we went to the fair in the city.All of my favorite people were there,and i had such a great time.It was the best b-day in years,and i really really REALLY enjoyed myself!
Thanks for letting me share,and i wanted to say I LOVE YOU for giving me all these b-day wishes.Made me feel special!!

A Pirates Life For Me

Just a quickie!I didn't wan't to add too much embellishments to this page,because the background paper is already so nice.I burned of the top of the page,love doing that!Although i must say that burned Hambly smells really bad!!I stole some of Julian's Playmobil coins fot his layout,Shhhhhht don't tell him!!!

Saturday is my Birthday,and we are going to the fair in Tilburg.My mom is already busy with my Birthday cake,and she got me really curious.She knows i will love it anyway,but i think she makes the most beautiful stuff so i can't wait to see!

I need to go and do some more stuff,because this vacation is getting BORING already.Anyone has some cool ideas??I'll be back tomorrow!
Happy Scrapping!

Time flies by!

It's summer,and the long summer vacation has started.We spend a lot of time on the playground!The past weeks have been extremely hot in The Netherlands,and wow i was completely dying.I can't handle it AT ALL!So i was hiding inside from the sun,waiting for the sun to go down so i could breath again.Since i couldn't clean and stuff during the day,i was doing everything in the evening.Not very good for your sleep routine...
My "little" Maxim turned 2 last week!We had a great picknick with family and friends.It was fantastic and the little guy enjoyed his self to the limit.Think lot's of yummy food,playing soccer and having lot's of laughs( and wine!).My mom made some pictures with her camera,can't wait to see!
When i saw this picture the day before his b-day i was getting some mixed feelings.Happy that he is becoming such a cute little toddler and sad because he is no longer my "little baby".Funny how b-day's alway's remind you to enjoy life more each and every day!
Remember my mom and me made some Sushi a while ago?Well i made some Sushi myself at home.Very addicting i can tell you!So so yummy,i couldn't get enough of it.So i made some more Sushi yesterday evening!My mom also made me addicted to making these little chocolate peanut mountains.Or whatever you wanna call it LOL My neighbours called it delicious,so maybe we call it chocolate delight :)
Here are some of my layouts for Sausan designs.Because of my computer troubles it took me some time to upload them,but luckily Sylvie is the best girl ever!!

Angie Delarie is updating with some new products because it's B-day month!!She made this super cute layout using some of her new stuff!Adorable right?
I'll be back with more layouts,happy scrapping!

Cupcake workshop

So last Tuesday we (Andrea,Marion,my mom and me) went to a Cupcake workshop in Den Bosch.We had a great time!We decorated 6 little cupcakes and 6 big cupcakes.We learned some cool techniques and used a lot of awesome products.Kids in a candy store that's for sure!The blue one is my fave.My mom bought the Wilton print rol(?) and i think it's the coolest thing ever!You can also use it to make little roses,see my mom's blog.
I am planning to make some more cupcakes this weekend,i'm hooked!
I'll be back with some scrappage,have a great weekend!
p.s.Be sure to check out this movie!It was so much fun...

Still alive...

No i didn't move to another planet and yes i am still alive.So sorry it took me ages to update you all but i had some major computer problems.It's not completely solved jet but atleast i can update my blog again.So what have i been up to?Well nothing much i have to say,ha!I enjoyed the weather a lot!!People probably think i live in the playground...

Julian is doing really great on school!So happy about that.My youngest is almost turning 2!!On the 1st of July we are celebrating his second year on this planet.Not sure what we are going to do,probably going to the Efteling.

My mom showed me how to make Sushi yesterday,and i am happy to share that it was a succes!
I am going to try it again at home,and i will make some pictures to show you how they turned out.They were gone before i could take pictures,that's a good sign!!We also went to a carboot sale yesterday.These are so much fun!!I bought a big straw bag(1,50),leather jacket(3,00) and a small leather bag(2,00).Score if you ask me!

My mom,her sister in law,my sister in law and me are going to a Cupcake workshop this Tuesday.I am sooo looking forward to it!We are going to "De Taartwinkel" in Den Bosch,which means The Cakeshop.We are going to learn how to decorate cupcakes and i really hope we will learn a lot of cool things.I think my mom is already an expert,but she doesn't agree with me.I think this will be a piece of cake for her,but it's still a lot of fun!She wan'ts to learn about Royal Icing,somebody got a recipe?Thanks in advance!

I did some Scrapbooking but i have to try to get the pictures on my computer(oh oh!)Will show soon!!Happy Scrapping people,good to be back.Will show my Cupcakes results after the workshop!xoxo

Fashionista for a week :)

I had the honor of picking a Catwalk layout for Lucy this week.This is what she said:

I have pick Fauve to choose the Catwalk this week because she is a real sweetie and she is so dedicated to the scrapbook community as well.Always bringing to us fresh ideas and tons of laughs.

Fauve I love you girl and thank you so much for your participationAnd here is her pick,stunning LO by the way!by noelfab
This is what she says for you noelfab.
I think this is one of the most beautiful baby pages ever.To me baby pages are really hard.Most of the time they are over done,with too many embellishments.I thought this page was really classy with beautiful details.I love the frame,great touch.

Sewing maniac :)

I was so excited to play with the digital stuff from Sausan Designs that i couldn't wait to get home and create something.My mom let me use her printer to print some amazing "hybrid" embellishments and papers.(Thanks mommy!)

Since i couldn't scrapbook last week because of my wrist,i wasn't able to create a layout for the new inspired by Amelie challenge.I was totally bummed about that,but i was in REAL pain!!
I am happy that it's over now!Turned out...i over used my wrist LOL I gave it some rest the last couple of day's.So now i can scrapbook again!Just have to make sure i don't over use it again! :)

So this layout is for the Amelie blog using only Sausan Designs stuff!(Besides the paint and thickers) :) As you might see i went a little crazy with the stitching.My sewing machine must hate me!What can i say...i just love MESSY!
I made another page using the fairy pictures from my friend Larissa.(and making another one tonight!)I seriously can't get enough of these pictures!Not to mention that she is wearing my favorite color dress.This new Prima stuff is to die for!Seriously i love it all!Especially those pearls,wow!What do you think of my handmade flowers??I think they are kinda cute!! :)Remembered i had a little TOOT to share?Well i am one of the new girls for the challenge blog "The story matters".I realised i need to focus more on my journaling,and i really think this challenge blog will help me to improve that.So i am looking forward to work with these fun girls and enjoy the challenges.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter!We had a great weekend with lot's of food and family time.We were also celebrating Jack's(My mom's husband) his b-day,and it was great.My mom made this really cool Mario cake and it was delicious.Hop over to her blog Contagious to see how it looked.Cool huh?

Somehow i ended up hosting the next Dutch SIStv crop.Fun!This means you all need to come to this amazing event,and spend time with me and all the other SISters.It's going to be spectacular,i am going to make sure it is!I have been to the previous Dutch SIS crops and the atmosphere was amazing,great fibe!So don't be nervous,and come over and chat with us on the Dutch SIStv crop thread here.Would love to see you there!!
