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.

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!

It's just a blog for inspiration and fun, it's not a challenge blog!!
So if you like, come take a look and start creating: "My Scrappy Sketches".

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
