Birthday-card and lumbago

Tomorrow my aunt will turn 60, so I made this card to her and will send it today. Isn't she cute, the Bella-stamp?! The tag at the side says "Helena 60 år" and I tied a nice white ribbon at the back of the card.

Yesterday I hurt my back. I was sitting on a bench at the sports-center, watching Gustav play land-hockey for an hour. When I got up the back just "snapped" - aouch! It hurts! My stepdad (who is a chiropractor) told me it's lumbago... So I'd better keep still as much as possible. *sigh*

Some new decos!

Here are some of the decos I've made recently. I've also made some ATC's and inchies, but I forgot to scan them, sorry!!

Craft-room!

This is where I do my crafting! It's not quite ready yet - another shelf is coming up above these 2 that already are there. And some other wall-paper as well, but that will take some time.

4x4" decosquare

I'm a member in a Decosquare group at Yahoo. The idea is similar to ATC's, but you get to decorate on a bigger space - 4x4 inces. I find that easier to decorate than regular ATC's. This is a "Trees in Winter" square. I've stamped and embossed it with white glittery powder. It doesn't show well from the scan, but I'm pretty happy with it!

Cutting down

This is a "Celtic" deco that I made for one of the groups I'm member in. The colours are a little clearer in reality - it's reddish and a little green... I'm pretty happy with it!

Right now I'm a little stressed out by all the swaps I've fisned up for. I've taken upon far too much - it's so hard to resist when there are such great themes and i'm in too many groups... I will reduce the groups I'm in a little and also reduce the amount of swaps I sign up for. Now I feel lack of both inspiration and imagination because it feels too much of a duty. So I really need to do this!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everybody out there! I wish you the best for this new one!

This deco is a "Choose the theme for the next signer"-deco! I thought it was a fun idea, and I'm quite pleased with the deco itself. It's very symmetric (yeah, I'm big on symmetry, can you tell?) but still a little different with the ribbon and the bow across...

The new year I celebrated at Mats' place. Not that we did anything in particular though - he cooked a delicious meal, we had some wine and watched TV. But that's the kind of New Year's Eve I like! I know I might be a bore, but I'm proud of it! LOL!

When I got home after 2 days, Felix (the youngest cat, 7 months old) was soooooo pissed! I didn't talk to me the whole evening, but then at night he couldn't be close enough... It was like I had been gone for 2 weeks or months, not 2 days! (The neighbours gave the cats food, so they didn't have to starve, and they have their own entrance as well)
