No vacation in sight...

A card I made for my niece Julia who turned 12 the other day. Just like the rest of us, she's very into cats, so I thought making her a card with a cat would be a good idea. I think it turned out pretty cute!

At the moment I am feeling pretty sorry for myself. I have 3 whole weeks to go before I start my summer-vacation! Yeah, I chose it myself but now I wonder how stupid I can get! Three more weeks is a LOT! I want it now! *sigh*

Oh yes! I have a car!

First of all: I have a car now! I even got it delivered by Monday night, very nice! It's a small red Ford Fiesta, from 1996. Not fancy at all - it hasn't got Central locking, electric window elevators, AC or anything - but then again - there aren't as many things to break down either! I am very happy with my little car!

The deco above is a "Laurel & Hardy" deco and I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The "mat" I used for the picture is much, much more sparkly IRL, it gives it a nice touch!

Health

This piece above is an "Africa" deco. I thought it was fun to make it green, most decos with this theme are brown or beige. But I know there are some places in Africa that are green as well, so... here it is! The picture is from the internet, I googled "African beauty" and there she was! And she is really beautiful, don't you think?

I know I have been quiet for a while. The reason is that I haven't been feeling too well. A little more than a month ago, my car broke down and without it, it takes soooo much longer to get to work, because I have to rely completely on public transportations. And considering I was sick for 5 years and have been back to work now only 2 months... Well, it's taken a huge toll on my health, I can tell. Last Thursday evening, I came down with a huge anxiety-attack and couldn't do anything but lie flat on my back until Friday at noon. I tell ya, it was NO FUN calling work and tell them that I couldn't get out of bed because I had an anxiety-attack!

Well, now we are car-hunting and hopefully I will have a "new" car by Tuesday night, and then life will be much easier. I'll let you know!

Vintage girl

This deco, called "Vintage girl" is made for a groupswap in a friend's group, and they chose it for the front-page this month! I am so honoured and happy about that! I am pretty happy with how it turned out as well!

Tomorrow I will go to Norway and visit my dear friend Marthe, it will be a blast! We will be crafting around the clock until Sunday, when I have to leave again. I am so lucky to have my man Mats, who will give me a lift up there. I had planned to drive my own car, but it broke down last week and we will either have to repair it, or sell it and buy a new one. And it will cost a small fortune either way. And we can by no means get it fixed 'til tomorrow, so Mats with his big heart offered to take me there... Did I tell you that I love him oh so much?

Rubberstamped Flowers

This deco above is a very simple one - it's called "Rubberstamped Flowers", that I made for my Swedish deco/ATC group, SvenskaDecos. I just didn't know what else to make with it, since the rubberstamp itself is pretty large. I coloured it in with Promarkers. punched a couple of holes and tied a ribbon over the stems and - voilà! I am pretty happy with it anyway, sometimes less is more...

Today I am home from work, still sick from that stomach-flu that hit me during the weekend, but at least today I am feeling much better. I think I will be able to go to work tomorrow without being contageous as well! I think the worst thing about having this sickness is that you get so darn weak! It really is annoying! But, like I said - I am feeling way better now!

Wow, great blog-candy!

I just came across this page... That is some blog-candy she has there! I just had to join the lottery. Unfortunately last day is today, but if you're lucky you still have time to join as well!

Cat-card

This is a card I made for my friend Annica's 40th birthday. She likes cats, so I thought this stamp would be appropriate...

Other than that, I am home from work today, since Gustav has stomach-flu. Not nice! I just hope I will escape it! The nice thing about this, is that I have more time to craft! Yihaa!!

Oh, Spacegirl challenged me to reply to these questions:

1. What kind of food do you eat a lot? Well, if I cook the food, I like when it's simple and fast. Pasta is good, but I also often make home-made fries with fried salmon. Yummie!
2. When you are the guest of a party, do you help out with cleaning or do you stay seated? Actually, I often help with the cleaning, I like to be busy...
3. Where do you prefere to be when you're blogging? At home, by the computer. It IS a laptop, but I prefer to have it in one place...
4. Do you often buy lotteries? Nah... If I ocassionally buy them, I never win...
5. In what city or country did you have the best vacation? France...
6. What TV-channel is your favourite? TV4, I think...
