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!

Me want!

Wow, check this out! House of Inspiration has this faboulous blogcandy! It's in Swedish, but maybe you can give it a shot anyway, even if you don't understand Swedish! You have a chance to win until tomorrow, so hurry up!

Some new decos

These are some of my latest decos. I need to make a couple of cards to send today also, so hopefully I will be able to show them here very soon!

This past week I have been literally down and out with the flu... Some days I have been well enough to sit up a little and do some crafting, but mostly I've been staggering between the bed and the sofa, just lying down and feeling bad. Thank Goodness that is all behind me now! I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to go to Stockholm to visit my friends at Skapa Hobby tomorrow, as planned. Which would have been extra bad, since the train-ticket was already paid for and not possible to change... But I feel much, much better now, so I will be a ble to go! Yuhooo! Stockholm, watch out!

What a wonderful world

I just saw this beautiful video in another blog, and it was so wonderful, that it brought tears to my eyes. Please go and watch!

Christmas-cards!

I have made 2 Christmas-cards lately! Yes, you read it right... Christmas-cards in February... Do you think I've finally lost it? Haha, I cannot blame you! Here's the explanation: I took upon a challenge to make 2 Christmas-cards per week this year! It's the Swedish challenge-blog "Jul Hela Året" that put me up to it... That way I have about 100 Christmas-cards by next Christmas. Enough to send AND to sell. Great idea, isn't it? This way I son't have to get all worked up about the Christmas-cards in December...

These are the latest cards I've made. Pretty simple in style, but they just came out this way. I always intend to make them more fancy, but they seem to live their own lives. So, this is how they turned out...

Awards!

Wow, I've got awards from 2 of my friends! Thanks so much, ladies! It really warms my heart!
This first one was given to me by Hanna and Åsa! And this second one was given to me by Nina!

The rules for both of these awards is that I should pay them forward to blogs that I like. Well, I have to admit that I have a HUGE blog-roll and I am pretty sure you know who you are, since I often leave comments. So, I want to give the both to all of you! Please feel free to take them off my blog and pay them forward!

Bookmark-deco

Now, it's been a while since I last posted here. It's not that I haven't been crafting, it's just not something I wanted to put on display...

But today I created a "Bookmark"-deco for a group-swap in Yahoo. The thing about this is that when I send it to my "partner" in this swap, she will decorate one of the tags and turn it into a bookmark. She will then put it back in the pocket, send it further on and this repeats until all the tags are decorated. Then it's supposed to be returned home to me and I will have 6 new, handmade bookmarks! Isn't that a great thought! I just hopehopehope it won't get stuck somewhere!
