Card for Markus

I've had a guy doing his internship at my job the past few months, with me as his mentor. He's sooooo good and he will be an absolutely great social-worker. He will end his internship at the very same day as my last day at this job, next Friday April 27. I made him this card and hope he will like it. He's very into nature, so hopefully it's not too girlish for him with flowers... The sentiment "Lycka till" means "Good luck".

Birthday-card

This is a birthday-card I made for my dear friend Åsa, she turned 40 (or was it 25?). She loves everything to do with Hello Kitty, so of course I had to use that on the card! And she also creates lovely earrings, necklaces and such, so of course I had to use some bling for the card as well! :)

What else? I have been offered a new job! It's about the same as I do now, but it will be closer and better paid. Let's just hope I will like it there! I will start my new job in the beginning of May!

Sorry!

Please forgive me my absence! Things have been very hectic at work and I'm kind of beat when I get home in the evenings. Now things are lightning up and I hope to be able to be more present soon, and to have more energy to do more crafting!

However, this is one of my newest decos, the theme is "First kiss", isn't the picture sweet?

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*

Employment-day 1!

Another ballet-deco! I just love that theme, can you tell?

Today was the first day of REAL work for me - with a real employment! The whole office had an education-day though, so I don't feel like I've done something really. Hopefully I will be able to take some of that knowledge and apply to work. I am really looking forward to be able to work now!

I've got a job!

OMG, almost a whole month since I last updated my blog! I am so sorry, everybody!

I have good news to tell you, though. Some of you know that I have been on sick-leave for 5 years now, due to a burnout-depression. Now I have been work-training since September 2008 and it goes really well. I am an educated Social-worker and it's not the easiest field of work, but I am happy to say it has been great. And now I have been offered a temporary job at the very same office where I have been work-training (which is also my old job). I am sooo happy for that! I am back!! The employment will start April 1st, and until then I will continue work-training 75% of fulltime.

The deco up above is a "Ballet"-deco that I made for a swap, and sent to France!

Christmas-card and job-application

Here's another Christmas-card! I still have lots to make, don't know why I didn't make them sooner as I said I would...

This picture doesn't do the card justice - really! The white back-ground paper is all glittery IRL, so it makes you think of snow and winter... You just have to use your imagination!

A good and fun thing now: I've applied for a job! I'm still work-training and it's going really well, but the travels back and forth are killing me! The travels add another 3 hours per day! So if I hadn't have to travel as far, I would be able to do more hours, I'm sure! So now I've applied for a REAL job with salary! And the work-place is so much closer to home... Don't know if the'll even consider me since I've been on sick-leave for so long, but... It's worth a try! I'll keep you updated!
