What I like today

HOME MADE MOUSTACHE STAMP

2012-01-25T16:21:00.000+01:00

Jag tillverkade en liten mustach-stämpel, det tog nog inte ens 10 minuter. Ett suddgummi + hobbykniv = fint!

I made a moustache stamp, easy peasy, an eraser + hobby knife and voilà!

JAHA?!

2012-01-23T13:32:00.000+01:00

Så här går det när jag ska fota naken bebis à la Anne Geddes... Det här är det enda fotot med skärpa, han sprattlar ju sååå! Får försöka på nytt men när han sover kanske? Jaja, naken bebisrumpa är gött det med! :)

This is how it goes when I'm trying do a photo shoot à la Anne Geddes, he wont be still, this is the only photo with focus! :) Well, well, it's sooo cute anyway! :)

JAG ÄR MAMMA!

2012-01-20T18:52:00.001+01:00

Det tar lite till att fatta, idag är Viggo tre veckor gammal och jag börjar förstå på riktigt att jag är mamma...

Today Viggo is 3 weeks old and I'm slowly starting to realise that I'm a mother... Me! :)

KORT TILL MORFAR

2012-01-15T13:01:00.000+01:00

Jag hann göra detta lilla kort att skicka till min pappa mellan två ammningar. Inte så mycket till scrapbooking men ack så roligt ändå. Detta är nog nivån för pyssel för de 6 kommande månaderna och det är helt okej för mig! Jag skulle hinna mer än så eftersom Viggo sover minst 2,5 - 3 timmar i streck minst på dagen, men det känns som om den forna "scrappingen" är för alltid förbi...

Oj, vad dramatisk jag blev, ville bara säga att det enkla oftast är finast, less is more ju! :)

Nu är det lunch, sen kommer gammelfarmor på 85 bast flygande och ska pussas och sen prommis!

Ha en skön söndag!

I made this little card for my dad and I realise that this is going to be the level of scrapbooking for the next 6 months and happy with that, often less is more and this is a nice and simple card!

We're having Viggo's great grandmother over for tea, she's 85 and walks faster than I do! :)

Have a nice sunday!

VIGGO & PAPPA

2012-01-12T17:13:00.000+01:00

Finns det nåt finare?

Is there anything better than this?

00h30 - 07h05 JÖSSES!

Bilder från BB och Viggo i "akvariumet"

I natt sov Viggo i ett streck i 6 och 1/2 timmar, herregud vilken bebis!
Under natten vaknar jag och Philippe flera gånger "bara för att kolla" men Viggo sover som en stock.
Vid sju imorse vaknade han och började snacka lite och sen var det frukost för hela familjen.
Jag har ammat sen den första timmen och förutom lite tandagnisslan första veckan (piranha-bebis) så funkar det perfekt. Jag är så glad och lättad för jag ville verkligen amma.
Imorgon kommer barnmorskan hem till oss för första vägningen sen vi blev utskrivna från BB och då får vi se hur mycket han gått upp. För upp måste han ju gått eftersom han mumsar förnöjt och sover mest hela dagen?

Viggo is already sleeping like 5-6 hours a night, it's lovely! Hope it lasts...

SLEEPING SHEEP

2012-01-07T16:05:00.001+01:00

Denna sovpåse är det mjukaste som finns, men självklar inte ens i närheten av Viggo...
Jag visste inte att bebishud kunde vara så mjuk, len och väldoftande, jag kan ligga och lukta på honom i timmar.
Åh, underbara lilla knopp!

He is so heavenly, I didn't know babyskin could be this soft and smell so good!

VIGGO

2012-01-05T15:45:00.001+01:00

Han föddes den 30/12, 51cm lång och 3920g tung! Vi är så lyckliga!

He was born the 30/12, 51cm and 3920g for the mesurements, we're in heaven!

SCRAP OM BEBIS-BESKED

2011-12-28T17:31:00.000+01:00

Jag hittade den här när jag städade idag. Denna sida var det senaste jag scrappade, nån gång i maj... När vi precis fått reda på att vi väntade bebis!
P åkte och köpte ett test och sen tillbaka till apoteket för två till! Han litade inte på det första och ville verkligen veta. Det var först när vi var och gjorde kissprov som han riktigt fattade. Han var nämligen redo innan jag ens tänkte på bebis så han var in heaven :)

I found this page today when I was cleaning, I made it back in may I think, when we just took the baby-test!

JULEN ÄR SLUT

2011-12-27T12:53:00.000+01:00

Och nu ska de sista detaljerna i Viggos rum fixas! Detta flygplan ska upp i taket, det väger hela 4kg så vi måste tänka strategiskt, det får ju inte hänga över en framtida "lekplats"...

Jag får besök i eftermiddag - Delphine och Lucia kommer på fika, swedish fika, så jag ska baka nåt gott, kanske helt enkelt en helt vanlig sockerkaka med lite glasyr?

Hoppas hinna fota lite julklappar innan solen går ner, fick finfina grejer till köket från Lexington!
Att hitta Lexington här nere är inte lätt men jag har ju tjatat så hi hi!

Christmas is over and now we are fixing the last details in the nursery, like this plane.
Today I'm having some friends over for swedish fixa so I will bake something sweet.

December Daily 21-24/12

2011-12-25T14:29:00.003+01:00

Sista bilderna i detta års December Daily! Nu ska jag skriva ut dem och börja pyssla med det riktiga albumet som jag kanske kan visa redan imorgon.

Ugnen används flitigt sen vårt nya kök är färdigt och inte minst nu i jul. Främst för att tina upp hembakta lussebullar!

The owen is used daily in our kitchen at christmas, today for heating up swedish lussebullar.

Frågan här hemma är om Viggo kommer 2011 eller 2012... Jag trodde att han skulle komma den 28 men nu känns det mindre säkert. Var hos gynkan i fredags och livmodertappen är stängd, lång och långt bak så han verkar inte redo än. Det som irriterar mig med Frankrike är att de "sätter igång" förlossningen endast 3 dagar efter utsatt datum vilket betyder den 9 januari. Men eftersom jag hela tiden kännt på mig att han blev till liiite senare, typ den 10 april så kanske de sätter igång allt i förtid?! Om det nu spelar någon roll? För mig jo, för jag vill att han ska komma av sig själv men för Viggo kanske det inte ändrar nåt? Vi får se.
The question at home is - will Viggo be here 2011 or 2012...

Hemgjorda köttbullar är ett måste till jul även på det franska julbordet! Som för övrigt består av ostron, gåslever och lax... Jag får liksom inte riktigt in julkänslan med den maten så jag lagade köttbullar, Janssons, rödkål och klippte prinskorv, köpte knäckebröd och kokade ägg. Fattades bara julmusten men som tyvärr var slutsåld på Ikea (mitt mecka!), men men, det blev hur bra som helst ändå. Förra året körde jag ju stenhårt med sill, sallader, julskinka och hela faderullan men med magen i vägen blev det lugnare i år :)
Swedish meatballs is a must on the christmas table!

Och så självklart julgodis till julafton!
And of course the candy - home made too!

PS. Jag höll på att glömma, listan är äntligen färdig. Här i Frankrike gör man en liste de naissance som familj och vänner kan kika på och välja vad de vill ge bort i gåva när bebis är född. Lite jobbigt tycker både jag och Philippe, att man liksom tvingar på folk att köpa men så är traditionen.
The birth-gift list (?) is done!

Joyeux Nöel!

December Daily 20/12 - My craving

2011-12-22T18:14:00.001+01:00

Mjölk, Milk, Milch - My Everything

Min last sen månader tillbaka, jag kan inte få nog! Viggo är nog en get eller nåt så mycket mjölk han vill ha!

Milk is my true pregnancy-craving, almost the only one!

Deciding on going Swedish

2011-12-22T16:16:00.000+01:00

Since Viggo is coming soon and I want to have this blog like a journal I can go back reading in the future I will from now on be writing my posts in swedish with a résumé in english. Google translate and such rules!

Dorénavant ce blog va être en suédois avec un petit résumé en anglais, j’espère que ça vous ne dérangera pas, les françaises! :)

December Daily 19/12 - the belly again

2011-12-21T16:52:00.000+01:00

I'm a gingerbread woman!

Jistanes! 16 more days to... or???

December Daily 18/12 - Clementines

2011-12-20T20:25:00.000+01:00

I eat at least 10 a day, that and 1 liter of milk! I can't get enough of milk!

December Daily 17/12 - Titan

2011-12-20T15:16:00.000+01:00

Just to show you the shots of bulldog-face you get until the d*mn dog decides to be still!

December Daily 12-16

2011-12-16T16:25:00.002+01:00

Viggos pyjamas, it's so tiny I get all emotional every time I go in to the nursery, gah, will he be here soon? :)

This is a banner-thingie I did myself, it will go up on the wall this weekend.

The bags for the maternity clinic is ready!

(15th was the belly pic in the post before, god, I'm huge :)

The first pair of shoes that we got as a gift from friends, this is so cute I could eat it!

Have a nice weekend girls!

Me and the belly

2011-12-15T18:27:00.001+01:00

Here's what I look like in 37 weeks of pregnancy, he can come any day now!

Don't mind the look of my face, this is like the 17th try going back and forth with a heavy belly to the self timer (I don't have a remote) and it gets dark quickly so I took the one you see the belly best! :)

2011-12-12T19:21:00.001+01:00

And here is the photo from yesterday, our christmas tree!

2011-12-12T17:41:00.000+01:00

Like I said saturday, I also sew a blanket for the stroller with the same fabric and here is the result. I lined it with fleece so it's soft for baby skin! The hardest part was the bias tape but compared to the patchwork quilt I made later with "hand made" bias, it was a piece of cake...
I forgot to take a photo of the quilt before the sun set so I'll show you tomorrow!

2011-12-10T18:44:00.003+01:00

I sew this cover today for the nursing table, I think it's called like that? The place were you change the dipers... I'm doing another one in blue too because it's very easy and fun! I almost always sew on free hand, I just take the mesure and then I try. Sometimes it goes very well and sometimes I could cry in anger and swear over my sewing machine but that's part of the game :)

I think the fabric is so cute, I also sew a blanket for the stroller and I'm on a patchwork blanket tonight!

Have a nice saturday evening!

2011-12-09T13:08:00.002+01:00

Yesterday was gift wrapping day! It's my favorite thing with christmas, I prefere wrapping gifts and give than receive. To use diffrent papers and ribbons and glue accents on them. It's always as popular on christmas eve for the family to see this year's version :)

And now with washi tape, there is no limit with imagination!

We're having friends over for dinner tonight and I will make some special pies for the occasion, I have to start right away, have a nice friday!

2011-12-08T21:19:00.002+01:00

A homemade "Adventsstjärna" - advent star that I made out of branches from my garden and a christmas tree decoration. Again - I love my heat gun! :)

I got the idea from this blog: Helt Enkelt

2011-12-06T21:06:00.004+01:00

I made this wreath for our front door from a straw wreath for 2€, pine cones from the forest and two christmas tree decorations, one steel and one porcelain star.

I love my heat gun! :)

This is another decorations I made, some linen fabric, some scrap alphas and a bakers twine!

Sweet and simple.

I printed out some art for Viggos room, love sketches in black frames. The red lightning is a tradional swedish Adventsljusstake - Advent candle that my mum gave me last year. In Sweden we place them in every window and the soft yellow light makes me think about my childhood. A christmas is no christmas without Adventsljusstakar!

Have a nice and cosy day...

2011-12-06T09:30:00.003+01:00

We are waiting for Viggo - 24 days to Christmas and some more...

I'm decorating the nursery - I love it!

The new kitchen is coming together, now there is only some small details left.

Here is the 3 first days in my December Daily. I also did it in my "real" album, it's so fun and easy - perfect for me for the moment since I'm pretty pregnant for the moment! :)

Have a nice day!

This Is Why I Have Been Absent

2011-12-02T11:36:00.003+01:00

2011-10-31T14:48:00.003+01:00

but I hope to be back here soon!

I like: Spring Plantation + Guest Room

2011-04-17T21:32:00.008+02:00

Welcome spring!

Here in Montpellier we already had the first heatwave last weekend with 35°, that means barbeque and laying still trying not to sweat away... But oh so lovely!

We planted some Rhododendron today, watched some movies and I decided to take some first "finished"-photos of the house, beginning with the guest room. Finished is maybe not the word since there are no decoration but finished with paintings, floor, cornices, furnitures etc. Since we do all ourself it's slow but sure!

Edit* I'll post a "before" photo of the room, it's more fun!

Parquet floor upstairs

Edit* This is the before

I have other angles to show later when it's decorated and really done...

Spring plantation:

Blossom flower, blossom!

(This one is just for my mum :)

♥

Helloooooo!

2011-02-24T15:37:00.004+01:00

I'll be back with pics and stuff as soon as my internet connection will function again! :)

Hallway inspiration from the internet

We bought a house!

2010-12-13T12:37:00.002+01:00

Update coming; all my stuff, even the camera, is in boxes all over the house but as soon as I can I'll show you! We are so excited!!! :)

Mushroom picking weekend

2010-11-12T20:14:00.002+01:00

Beautiful autumn! We went to a friends summerhouse in the mountains for some mushroom picking. We were 12 and we found mushrooms for 24, my gosh! We ate and ate and had a wonderful weekend with walks in the woods, fireplace, good wine and good friends...

♥

Now I'm gonna do a mini!

My inspiration book

2010-11-02T19:35:00.003+01:00

is for the moment filled with pretty interior scraps, last weekend I was up in Stockholm saying hello to my mum and family and I brought home like 10 magazines which are now cut into pieces to fit my book. we have a new little project that I will share with you in a couple of weeks... :)

2010-10-10T12:51:00.005+02:00

Here is the (unfinished) recepie notebook I began yesterday; I want to add more layers and "touch" to it, I think it's too clean and simple like this. I'm gonna add some of my lovely tape and some kitchen elements and I will leave some pages blank so I can add recepies in the future.

It's raining and raining this sunday, perfect for scrapbooking and pie making, apple pie à la moi... Cosy ♥

I like this day: 101010 :)

2010-10-09T18:05:00.005+02:00

I bought some loveliness from Lovely Tape and I'm so pleased with all this prettiness! I don't know which one to use first... I think I'll go for the red checked one for my mini I'm doing for my fave recepies, I'll show you tomorrow since the sun is already set.

Have a really nice sunday evening ♥

2010-10-04T17:54:00.003+02:00

Oh! My first page since like forever, feels nice to be back on track ♥ Just a quickie with my so called dog (he's more like a UFO unidentified fluffy object)

Have a nice monday!

2010-10-02T23:22:00.002+02:00

I went shopping today, I found so much nice things: I love tanned leather!

2010-09-26T16:36:00.002+02:00

It might be the last summer flower...

I found the cute ring at Stradivarius, couldn't resist!

♥

Today I have re-organised our wardrobe, it took me 3 hours; phuuu: now it's all neet and clean. I can finally see what clothes I have ;)

I've also been re-arranging my studio; I'm into romantic stuff, like this pillow:

I'll show you when it's all done :)

Now I'm going to try scrap a mini about my mini trip to Paris...

Hope you're having a great sunday!

♥

2010-09-23T12:38:00.005+02:00

and I have done some shopping for scrapping chilly days with hot tea and "raggsockor" (woolen socks) but I think I have to wait a bit since today it's 21.5°C/ 70F here in Montpellier...

Can't wait to begin scrap again!

Ta ta ♥

2010-09-21T20:24:00.003+02:00

When you can spend your days like this blogging is set a side, you have to excuse me! :)

A friends summerhouse where you could stay forever...

Even Titan took a swim in the pool, he felt like a duke! :)

I'll be back with some real stuff, Scrap!

♥

2010-08-04T13:20:00.009+02:00

I made a mini last night, not so much about my shoes but about color themes and combos I like. Again I used the Toast catalog which is a goldmine in pretty pictures.

Now I am off for a week, we're watching the house for Philippes parents and that means pool, relax, bbq from 8-8! :) ♥ Summertime! ♥

Just some cuteness for you!

and enjoying summer...

Quite an annoying evening...

2010-07-05T22:43:00.002+02:00

1. I started a project from the book I just received,

turned out that I hadn't like half of the materials you have to for making it right, tried anyway but the sewing machine went crazy on me and I had to call my mother for help (she did not answer), so my checkbook cover now looks like a 5 year old made it. It do not look like this:

2. I bought a new lens, a fish eye, super duper hard to understand it, tried anyway and got som lousy pics and gave it up for tonight.

3. It's so freakin hot I can't think (27° at 23h00) but I try anyway.

Tomorrow is a new (and even hotter) day! Bah!

Styles files pages

2010-07-04T21:09:00.003+02:00

I'm getting ready with my Style files mini, I'll show you the entire this week!

Have a nice continued sunday, I just got back from my parents-in law's pool where Philippe and I spent the whole afternoon making us look like burnt raisins... (a bit too much sun & water)

♥

Cushions!

2010-06-30T12:55:00.002+02:00

Last night I made a serie of cushions to Madeleins couch for her new apartment, she choose the fabrics and I do the sewing! I also made 2 more pages for my mini Style files but didn't have the time to photograph it.

Just ordered these books! :)

2010-06-28T22:21:00.003+02:00

Print at home :)

Gonna use my sewing machine to other stuff than paper!

2010-06-21T21:42:00.003+02:00

I had the time to take 4 pics at my birthday party before the camera said bye bye...

It was decoration Provençal, lavander I picked on the meadow behind the house, lanterns, fromage and jambon cru and candles etc.

We had big fun! :)

I got that beautiful scarf from Philippe!

15h30: I'm stepping in to the adult side of life! Mama mia! :)

My birthday is coming up next weekend so for the little party I did little cards!

(Don't mind the missing K in Cocktails, I did them around midnight :)

We just got back from the event Les Vignes Buissonnières, wine and gastronomique food all day long under the sun in the countryside; I'll show you pics tomorrow. It was fantastic!

A page!

2010-05-30T17:20:00.004+02:00

I finally have some time over to scrap! What a feeling! :)

Last sunday Madelein and me decided to go picknick-ing in the countryside. Good food, some rosé and the camera in the bag we drove to a cute little medieval village and took a whole lot of pics and ate with the view over vineyards, cork oaks and nice little farmhouses.

I've been sewing curtains, pillows, table cloths, painting and redecorating my 2 Malm chests, made a bedhead, tiled our terrasse, finishing up the kitchen etc etc: I've been busy! I will slowly get back to blogging and scrapping because I miss it so!

Have a nice sunday!

I'll be in here soon!

2010-05-07T08:49:00.002+02:00

Sorry for the non-blogging but right now there is a lot going on at work, new projects and we are still renovating as madmans (my new scrap desk is not even visible under all the building material, paint, brushes, grinding things etc etc etc) so I can't scrap that much for the moment. But I'll be back soon, real soon!

I wrote the sentence and just scanned it; simple and personal don't you think? :)

Kitchen / Cuisine / Kök

2010-04-19T19:18:00.004+02:00

A little mini about our kitchen that is someday going to be finished, this is the 3rd time we re-arrange it! And it's not finished :) I might add some decoration, it's almost too clean for me. Hope you like it!

Ahh what's this?

2010-04-16T11:51:00.005+02:00

Now my mum won't be able to come tomorrow! :( All airports in Europe are closed until at least 20h tonight and my mum's flight is 6 tomorrow morning; really like a 20% chance of getting the plane... it s*cks!

So cute!

2010-04-13T21:47:00.002+02:00

Yesterday I finally got my new car! I'm so pleased with it that I almost said "sleep tight" when I closed the garage door... :) Crazy times around here, spring is in the air and my mom's coming saturday, yeaj!

Re-decorating the scrap room

2010-04-04T19:57:00.003+02:00

All day I've been cleaning qnd re-decorating while Philippe worked on the bathroom, now we're off for some well deserved pizza!

and the "below"

And a preview of the mini of the renovation, I'm tearing up magazines, painting and stamping - having fun really!

Happy Easter Ladies!

2010-04-02T12:42:00.003+02:00

for your help on cameras! I need to think about this a bit more!

Help!

2010-03-31T11:02:00.003+02:00

Is there anyone of you that had a Nikon and switched to Canon? Disappointed? I want to change my Nikon D200 to the latest Canon 550D but I'm a bit worried about not liking the "Canon-using"; buttons, optical viewfinder + on LCD, lighter body etc. Please, please if you have some experience let me know!

J'ai besoin d'aide, est-ce qu'il y a qq un qui avait un Nikon mais qui a changé pour un Canon? J'ai envie d'acheter le Canon 550D, j'ai aujourd'hui un Nikon D200 mais j'ai peur d'être deçue... Si tu as un conseil ou experience stp laisse moi un commentaire ça me fera vraiment plaisir! Par rapport l'usage Canon de Nikon.

Thank you in advance!

Chez Elisa P

2010-03-29T12:37:00.004+02:00

First we went to this nice restaurant / boutique were they sold so much pretty things, it's called "Le Jardin en Ville" and you eat so good! We wanted to buy everything and Elisa got herself a real pretty plate.

So much new and recycled prettiness...

Coucou! It's us!

La cité médiévale de Carcassonne, beautiful even in rain!

"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head" - my gosh, the wind and the rain had an appointment in Carcassonne saturday: of course when we headed back home the sun started shining...

Then we went to Elisa's place top have some scrapping done, show you tomorrow!

New toy!

2010-03-28T23:54:00.002+02:00

Just before going to Elisa P Saturday morning, the mail man came with this!
I'm now officially a mini album maker! :)

Tomorrow I'll show some pics from my day with Elisa (visiting, eating and scrapping) Thanks girl for a super day!

I've started my house mini 3 times but just not getting satisfied and re-doing it time after time: I have this idea in my head and if it doesn't looks like I thought I'll start all over...

Made my self a scrap table by the window now that the sun is setting later, so I'll be able to scrap after work in sunshine...

Good night, à demain!

Rest of pics

2010-03-22T13:55:00.002+01:00

Yesterday we celebrated Philippes birthday with his family and I think we spent 6 hours, from 12 to 18 non stop, eating! Longest lunch in the history, we had fun!
Later on in the evening I started the mini with all the before photos from our apartment. I use Studio Calico and American Crafts in a little non-scrap-found-at-the-supermarket-binder. All day long here at work I've been thinking how I should put it together and looking for inspiration in all your blogs... I can't wait to end work today: maybe I'll finish it tonight!

B-day card for dad

TGIF! :)

Yet another puppy pic

2010-03-15T20:15:00.005+01:00

I just received my order (2nd in 1 week) and I'm gonna play along again tonight, have a nice evening!

2010-03-10T22:16:00.001+01:00

Just got me this one...

2010-03-10T13:07:00.003+01:00

and some other stuff from Scrap Cinéma, I want my order now! ;) I want to start making a mini with this little Martha Stewart-thingie!

Good movies!

2010-03-09T12:51:00.004+01:00

Since my flu is over and the only occupation is to stay under the blanket watching movies, I would like to share two films that I just loved, the Tarantino just fun but 7 Pounds is a heavy loaded crying out loud-film, oh my gosh! See them!

A quickie from work! TGIF! :)

How I See You

2010-02-18T22:17:00.004+01:00

Since I was supposed to visit Elisa P in her town last weekend and too much snow cancelled that idea we decided next saturday instead. Now we both have things do to so we will meet up first weekend in march finally. Can't wait because I really want to scrap with this lady. So this layout is for how I see her, in colors, patterns etc and also for See Ya (like in 2 weeks)! Hope you like it!

My little stamp box

2010-02-16T22:48:00.002+01:00

I've finally found a way to store my stamps! Only problem now, is that it wont close... :)
It's a little blue CD suitcase that I filled with clear stamps and rubber stamps. Much easier to find the one I need and nicer to look at than a shoebox.

This one is high up on the fave list!

I really love Kesi'art stamps, I would like to have them all...

I'll try to begin my mini I've been thinking about but since I'm going to bed in a half hour it will be hard. Getting home from work, doing the groceries, making enchiladas, dine, organise stamps, blog - the evening goes by in a wink...
I have to play the lottery so I can stay home everyday and scrap! :)

The kitchen

2010-02-09T13:29:00.012+01:00

I didn't manage to get the "glossyness" white of the doors but it's Ikea Faktum Abstrakt.

Just a detail to show you the colors of the wood and wall:

Can't show you in all angles because it's not totally ready yet; I dream at night of all to finish and finally get in to decorating!

Do you remember before?

La suite!

2010-02-08T18:12:00.005+01:00

Laure and Maja with their daugthers a sunny fall sunday.

I want all new scrap stuff on the market here in France right now, I don't want to wait any longer! I want to shop! :)

Next sunday I'm visiting Elisa P and we're going to visit her town, have lunch, take pics and scrap all afternoon, I can't wait! Just need to take some new photos to scrap.

Just finished the "Macaronade" that Philippe made, it was delich...

Now some Bloglovin' - the best way the keep up with your blogs (if you haven't bookmarked 358 blogs like me).

Sing birds

2010-02-08T12:57:00.000+01:00

The rest tonight!

Madelein

2010-02-05T13:11:00.004+01:00

This is my jobmate, we're the Scandinavian Sales Team, the dream team!

Laughing out loud, are you used to that at work? I am now! :) Who could have guessed I'd meet a sweet and funny SWEDISH girl from Uppsala like this, at my new job in Montpellier 8 years from moving from Stockholm... Life is kinda crazy sometimes!

Have to work; TGIF! :)

2010-02-04T10:04:00.002+01:00

I made a discovery! I can use my iPhone as a modem for my computer at home! I didn't know! I got it for christmas and it's only now I realized it. I haven't used my desktop in like 6 weeks cus no internet and I had it under my nose... Silly me! :)

Heatgun chaos

2010-02-02T23:39:00.002+01:00

Ok, I just burned my photo with the heat gun. Fun. I thought I'd finish this one by tonight but I can say farewell to that idea... So just a sneeky peek!

Enough with renovation, let it be finished!

2010-02-02T13:02:00.003+01:00

Really hard to spend all weekends; evenings and holidays since 6 months on renovation. I dream about tools, materials, plans, Ikea screws etc etc...

Just a quick page about my suffering, he he! :)

Hambly love

2010-02-01T12:54:00.004+01:00

Sticker yum

Nice calender

We're still working every single free moment on our appartment and it's really hard to find some time to scrap. Yesterday we installed the wardrobes in the bedroom which means that the workroom/atelier is cleared from 126kg clothes! ;) Maybe I can scrap tonight?!

Have a nice day!

Mini "Titan"

2010-01-18T13:18:00.002+01:00

Here's a mini I did a couple of weeks ago but completely forgot about!

This is so good, I blog from work during my lunchbreak! :)
Have a nice day!

Done!

2010-01-13T21:55:00.003+01:00

Enough html for now, my eyes burns! To continue in the renovation spirit I'm showing you our newly born bathroom that Philippe and I did ourselves, yes the 2 of us! That's means everything except the plumming but otherwise just us! :) We started with throwing all the old out and had just 4 walls to work with so I'm quite proud!

Thank you friends! :)

2010-01-12T19:46:00.008+01:00

So... Blog under construction!

Layout

2010-01-12T13:24:00.002+01:00

Please could you just give me a comment on the blog layout, just yes or no, are the images cut on the right side of your screen? Since my home computer has a 22" screen everything is fine but today I looked at my blog from work and it's ugly... Please just say yes or no! :)

Mini(s) to come

2010-01-10T22:31:00.004+01:00

Hope your 2010 is starting great!

It's not done yet but will be this week!

:)

New job

2009-12-16T22:03:00.002+01:00

Sorry for the bad update but I've been busy busy. I got a new job! :) Since monday I'm the new scandinavian sales engineer for eXpansys.com! I'm so pleased! I'm also translating the page in to swedish, good to be multi-language-speaking sometimes ;) I'm working with customers from Sweden, Norway and Finland and my collegues are french and the software is in english! I'm having a blast learning new things and speak to diffrent people all day, yepp! :)

Nightynight

Inspiration

2009-11-30T22:44:00.002+01:00

Tomorrow I'll really try taking some photos of our house, we've finished quite much but still some decorating projects to be done. Like my fireplace-but-it's-a-wooden-wall-with-plasma-and-buffalo-horns-thing... Yes I have buffalo horns that are waiting to be put on the wall! Inspired by this from danish magazine RUM

[Collage made by me] with photo from RUM

Demain je vais essayer prendre qq photos de notre appart, on a bien avancé, maintenant il manque juste la déco. Comme ce projet de clouer-qq-planches-de-bois-sur-le-mur-et-ensuite-attacher-les-corns-de-buffle-et-pretendre-que-c'est-une-cheminée... :) Inspiration du magazine danois RUM

2009-11-25T22:56:00.008+01:00

Bought about 10 new stamps last week, gotta show you! I found a new passion, the embossing thing! I'm in love, I try it all over, not only on layouts. Thinking of giving my flower pot a go... :)

Sucky with november is no light. Here in Montpellier the sun goes down around 17h30 for the moment and even thinking about taking a pic is ridiculos...

This one I brought to work to photograph at lunchtime :)

J'ai acheté au moins 10 tampons la semaine dernière, il faut que je vous les montre! J'ai aussi trouvé une nouvelle passion, l'embossage! Je suis in love, je l'ai essayé un peu partout pas seulement dans le scrap. Je crois que c'est mon pot fleur qui va être la prochaine victime :)

C'est nul novembre, le soleil se couche déjà à 17h30 ici à Montpellier et prendre des photos le soir et aussi évident que comme le concombre est bleu...

Cette page j'ai carrement prise avec moi au boulot pour la prendre en photo à midi :)

I'd love these in my kitchen!

2009-11-20T00:06:00.003+01:00

Good nighty! :)

2009-11-17T20:10:00.003+01:00

A mini I did in only a couple of hours and finished yesterday :) For Maja my collegue, she visited her sister in Slovenia some weeks ago and I 'stole' some pics of hers did this album in secret. She was very pleased, which made me happy! :)

Ps. The album idea I found over at Céline's blog, check it out!

Un mini que j'ai fait pour ma collegue de boulot, Maja. Elle était en Slovenie il y a qq semaines pour visiter sa soeur et j'ai piqué qq photos pour lui faire cet album en secret. Elle était ravie, comme moi! :)

Ps. J'ai trouvé l'idée de l'album dans "Mardi inspiration" de Céline, allez voir!

Dina Wakley class {mini}

2009-11-10T00:07:00.001+01:00

It was so fun to splatter around with paint at Dina's class, such a new style for me :) Isn't quite what I use to do but oh so fun! Cut out shapes and paint or Glimmer mist it, the result is different each time and it's good when it's not "perfect"! This mini isn't quite finished, and as I know myself pretty well it won't be until february, but I wanted to show some pages anyway ;)

Tomorrow is my day off and wednesday is holiday in France so that means 2 days in row for me, a thing that last happened in april I think, yeaj! We'll work a lot in on the apartment and maybe wednesday I'll show you some pics of it... wanna? :)

C'était vraiment fun de patouiller (c'est ça on dit?) à l'atelier de Dina Wakley! :) Pas tout à fait mon style mes c'était super, c'est bien d'essayer des nouvelles techniques! Peintures et Glimmer mist sur pochoirs fait main, que ce n'est pas "parfait" est le but! Ce mini n'est pas vraiment fini mais je voulais vous le montrer quand même car je me connais, je vais le finir en février prochain... ;)

Demain jour de repos et mercredi aussi, trop bien! On va travailler sur l'apart et si tout va bien je peux peut-être vous montrer qq photos de chef d'ouvre :D Vous voulez?

My Rainboots...

2009-11-05T21:07:00.003+01:00

I'm trying some different layouts, I'll do another one of this kind but actually "closeable", you'll see what I mean :)

I even wear them to work ;)

J'ai oublié de le faire en français, désolée, ça y est je me remets!

J'essaie des nouvelles techniques, qq pages differentes et c'est amusant. La prochaine je vais carrement faire "refermable", comme un livre... Bon, vous allez comprendre :)

Mes bottes de pluie en serpent, je les mets même au boulot ;)

{Just got Premium} yeaj!

2009-11-03T20:35:00.004+01:00

I just bought the Premium version of Picnik, my fave alternative to Photoshop CS4 that just stopped working (something to do about non valid codes... ;) I tried to do a collage, and hey, I'm pretty satisfied! :)

This can be handy for printing photos to layouts, a bit ali e-like :)

Picnik? What's that? Well, go and have a look:

{entreARTistes} page avec Karine C-T

2009-11-01T09:56:00.002+01:00

I don't know how to translate "Grain de folie" in english... It's like crazy but in a cute way. The girls in the photos are my sweet working collegues Laure and Maja with theirs daughters.

I like knots!

Like that little round alpha from Jenny Bowlin...

Today we'll:

Put up the curtains that is waiting for us in shopping bags for like 4 weeks.
Put on the last handles on the kitchen doors (we have Ikea Faktum "Abstrakt" white with "Lansa" handels).
Take a trip to Botanic, that is a huge flower and plants store with lots of decoration, food and others. One of the only places open in France on sundays.
Long doggy walk
Scrap but that's only me I think, Philippe is more in to la sieste.

Have a really nice sunday!
