So far we had soooooooo much fun!!

I ended up with a strawberry suite (still have to make a pic of it) and Jeremy has a prison suit with black and white stripes.

We have two day's left, this afternoon we're going out with the kids to a place called "De Bussel".

That's such a fun place to go to with kids during the carnival.

Yesterday we all went to the carnival parade, the kids were so amazed by all the wonderful parade wagons they saw!
After the parade we joined my brother and his family and some others to go to de Bussel and had a great time.

To see the kids dance and having fun make's me even had more fun!!

So next couple of days I wont be around all that much since Carnaval started over here!!

Five day's of fun, dressing up and partying!!

Chelsey had a little bit of carnaval allready at her pre-school play group.

She was dressed up as Mega Mindy, a girls superhero from a Belgium tv show.

She don't watch the tv sow all that much, but she loooove;s the songs from the show!!

Wallhanging!!

This month we have a wallhanging tutorial up and running over at the Scrappy Times challenge blog, like I told before.

Tonight I've made the tutorial my self and I had the best of fun making it!!

Julie, your the best.....loved making this one!!!

I used a photo of my grandma, who passed away when I was 8.

After 20 years I can still remember every little thing about my grandma, I miss her every day and everyday I wish she was her to meet my little girls.

I know she would be so proud of them.

This photo is the only one I have from her, and when this one was taken she was allready very ill.

The journaling say's:

"I will never forget you, I loved spending time with you and I will alway's miss you.

And grandma, I don't drink coffee!"

About the coffee: when I was about 4 years old I alway's wanted to drink coffee just like the grown up's and then she tolld me not to, because if I would drink coffee my hear turn green.

I was learned that my grandma alway's was right, so I believed her for many years and now I still don't drink coffee, I just don't like the taste of it.

The four of us together with Jeremy's dad.

The girls had a lot of fun, Chelsey loved everything and it was Brookynn's first time in the park and she was amazed by all of it!

I've made so many pic's it was hard to pick a couple for the album.

For this album I used my laminater machine, I love using that machine for mini's!!!

Going to us it a lot more, one of the best Christmas presents of last year!!

New inspirational blog!!

I think sketches are great and I love to use them for my pages, they are so inspirational to me!
Since a few month's I'm making sketches myself, it's so much fun to do!
You can find some of my sketches allready at Scrappy Times and now I've started a blog for my sketches for you who aren't member of Scrappy Times (well actually you should sign up huh?? :):):) LOL)!
It's just a blog for inspiration and fun, it's not a challenge blog!!

Punk Rock Scrappers

I'm trying to get on the DT of Punk Rock Scrappers.

For my submission I've made this page!

The page is all about my tattoo's.

All five of them are on the page.

The journaling (in Dutch) say's:

"This is me, I have 5 tattoo's. Not everyone know's that I have them, they don't even expect it of me. But still this is me, alway's thinking of what my next tattoo will be. The most important two tattoo's are the name's of my little girls, the one's I love the most!"

I hope I'm going to make the team, it looks like it's going to be an awesome Challenge Blog!!!

Especially now I'm trying all different kind of things on my pages!!!

Well we'll see, the call is open untill february 28!!

XOXO
