Romantiek ...
One of the things that can make me really happy is a super romantic movie. So, Letters to Juliet wash on my 'to-do-list' for quite some time. Tonight it finally happened, I saw this movie together with Inge. I can only say I had the best time, it was just as romantic as I thought it would be. But, unexpected, it was very funny too ! For those of you who didn't see this movie, and, if you love romance ánd a good laugh, I definately recommand this one ;-)
Een avondje naar de bios kan zo ontzettend leuk zijn !
It's so much fun to spend the night at the movies !
Teesha Moore ...
An inspiring lady ! I have been admiring her Art Journal pages for a while, the wonderful colors, and the fantastic collages she makes. Go check it out at Teesha Moore . I finally tried my hand on a Moleskine page in her style. Looking at her videos it seems so easy to do, but that's not entirely true. But, I am happy with my results ;-)
Zomertijd .....
Crusade no. 42 - Part 2
Tonight I finally finished my Moleskine page for Crusade no. 42. All of a sudden there was some time and, more important, some inspiration !
Een tijd geleden heb ik dit vel papier geschilderd.
A few weeks back I painted this paper. Just ordinary
Komkommertijd ...
Summer always does something strange to me ... The girls don't have to go to school, and my schedule is completely out the window. And I don't know why, because at their age they follow their own schedule and they don't need my help for that ... But I feel sort of lost, hang around the house, do a little bit here and even less there .... It's in my head, I know it, but, at the moment, there is not much i can (read want to) do about it !
Het enige wat ik heb om te laten zien zijn een paar Zen momentjes. Kleine werkstukjes die ik in de tuin kan doen zonder veel materiaal te voorschijn te hoeven halen ;-)
All I can show you are some Zen moments. Little pieces I can do in the garden without having to gather a lot of supplies ;-)
Enjoy summer !
Cool Giveaway !
My Art Journal
Mijn Zen-momentje voor vandaag ....
Crusade no. 42 - Strip Ease
My first piece for Crusade no. 42. Tear up papers, a project anyone can complete ;-)
Begonnen met dit / started with this :
Verf en doodles
I love it, to have the house for myself .... I spend the entire afternoon in the art studio. Painted two pieces of tissuepaper, preparing them for the new Crusade. Will show you more during the weekend ;-) I scanned my tissuepapers, to turn them into wheelchair wheelcovers, for our own business, but of course I got carried away on the digital path ....
Zelfgemaakt Journal ..
After I finished the little doodle-book, I wanted to do more. I made this Artjournal with brown wrappingpaper and the covers are from an old box, just plain brown cardboard (is that the correct name ?) ...
Totally Tangled
Today the mailman brought me my copy of Totally Tangled. I have been waiting for a while, I ordered at Amazon and it took almost 2 weeks to arrive ;-) Written by Sandra Steen Bartholomew, you can find her blog here.
Een ontzettend leuk boek, vol met Tangles, en je krijgt onmiddelijk zin om te beginnen. En dat heb ik dus ook gedaan, twee nieuwe Zentangles in mijn doodleboekje :-)
A fantastic book, filled with Tangles for immediate inspiration, you just want to start right away. And that's what I did, two new Zentangles in my little doodlebook ;-)
Een laatste Veluwe blogje …
Op zondag hadden we nog waterballonnen …..
En een heerlijke BBQ ……
Ook oma was erbij. Ze heeft niet veel gegeten, maar het was wel gezellig !
Ook was onze Bavaria babe weer aanwezig …..
Steeg de spanning tot grote hoogte ….
Genoten we in goed gezelschap van de wedstrijd …. (behalve dan de laatste zeg 10 minuten LOL)
en namen we afscheid van het mooie huisje …..
Just a little bit more about our short trip. We had a fight with waterballoons, enjoyed a wonderful BBQ (and so did my mum, although she didn’t eat much), we had our very own Bavaria babe, enjoyed the game in good company (except for the last 10 minutes LOL), and said goodbye to our wonderful little house. It was a lot of fun, thank you mum !
Binnenkort weer scrapjes, nu rest mij alleen nog dit : Spanje, gefeliciteerd !!
Soon there will be layouts again, for now all I have to say is this : Congratulations to Spain !!
Onweer, vos en fietsen …
Om 4 uur weer wakker, uit het raam hangen voor wat frisse lucht, hé … wat een troep in de tuin … die hangjongeren maken er ook overal een bende van ! Hangjongeren ?? Hallo, we zitten hier op een park midden op de Veluwe …. O kijk nou, het is een vos die onze vuilniszak wel interessant vindt ! Arie wakker gemaakt, toen ook zus en dochter, de vos vond het allemaal prima, we hebben hem even goed kunnen bekijken. Daarna toch maar even al het afval bij elkaar geraapt ;-)
Later in de nacht is hij nog terug geweest voor de skottelbraai, die nog buiten lag, maar bami en nasi vond hij niet zo lekker.
Het is vandaag weer lekker warm, en zus wilde een –tig persoons fiets huren, zodat we met oma een rondje konden fietsen. Nicht wilde wel door het bos, maar daar zijn we, door een overdosis zand, vastgelopen ;-)
Kleine impressie van de tochtjes :
Wil je meer van onze avonturen lezen ? Hier en hier verschijnen vast ook nog verhalen ;-)
Dear English readers, sorry for not translating all of this, it is just too hot. Translation in short, we are having a fabulous time here and lots of fun ! More photos and short movies can be found here and here ;-)
Een berichtje …
Just a quick blog … We are spending the weekend in a cute vacationhouse in the woods, celebrating my mums 75th Birthday, My sisters with family, me and my family and of course mum/grandma ;-) This morning we had a wonderful breakfast together and gave my mum her present, a beautiful watch. She was happy and liked it a lot ! Since it is incredibly hot here we went away to swim and cool down. Mum stayed home, and we were lazy in the shade of big trees, and enjoyed the cool water. We even had a bitch fight in the water LOL Did a little game with a ball and this family can become very competitive ;-) To be honest, there were some nearly drowning accidents LOL It’s eight now, and the sun in gone, so time to make a nice dinner. We have a lot of sangria waiting for tonigh, after we accidentilly drank everything we made yesterday evening. This involved lots of laughs, it’s really cool to spend some time together like this ;-)
En wie er kans toe ziet, stuur ons vannacht een beetje regen, zodat het ietsje afkoelt !
And please, someone send us some rain for tonight, we can use it !
Nog even snel ...
Just quickly, before I am gone for the weekend. We'll be spending the weekend with my mum somewhere in the middle of the Netherlands, in the woods, celebrating her 75th birthday ;-) But, before I am gone, I need to show you this supergorgeous and cute kit !
Wat een wedstrijd !
That was some game ! And bad for the heart, the excitement was huge ! But, we made it ! For the most part with bad soccer, but with some fantastic moments. We need more fantastic moments to win the endgame, because tonight it didn't come easy. But that doesn't matter at all, because we made it ;-)
En zoveel lol hebben we gehad / and we had this much fun :
