AAAAARGHHH my mistake.....

Well, i made a mistake...... I actually thought i could do this, i tried but it was a mess.
I am not an aquarel artist......
I bought these nice aqua brushes and exelent water colors, presse on paper so it is easy to use because i wanted to color the rubber stamped pictures i have with this. For me it didn't work out. I actually feel a bit sad because it looks great iff you really can make it work.

So now i will put them up for sale, maybe you are interested????

Let me know.

It is good quality stuff!!!!!

I think i will stick to my derwent pencils they work much better for me.

Hugs Jolanda

My Birthday.

Monday I celebrated my 33th birthday, i took a day off from work. That was great!!
My parents came over and some friends. The mailman also came at my door with a big box, a lovely present from my very dear friend Susie, below you can see what was in the package.
I love the earrings, i also took a seperate photo of them but it was a bit blur.
Tom also loves the car and the jewelry box.














In the evening i backed 2 cakes for work and they loved it, yummie.
I also received a lot of nice cards from my penpals, thanks girls!!

Love.

A little update

Hello!!

Here is a little update from me, above you can see a huge swap i received from my Dutch swapper, great fb's!! Unfortunatly she will stop swapping.

A lovely Sizzix die i bought via ebay, nice and cheap, lol.
I can use this one with my cuttlebug.


A little while ago i told you that i was going to do a "workshop"pottery painting, i made 2 milkmugs for the kids and a lovely plate for my mom wich i already gave her as a christmas present.
I forgot to take a picture.

Tonight my boyfriend and i are going out for dinner to celebrate my birthday, it will be great to spend some time together without the kids.

Have a great Sunday!
Love Jolanda

Today we took the kids to the park to play with the sledge, we have had snow for over a week now and it had been a loooooong time ago that we had so much snow. Sam had a lot of fun but Tom was scared riding the sledge.

A lot of people trying to iceskate here.

This is my son Sam and me.

Our Christmastree

Well, here it is, our huge tree, my boyfriend thought our house was a bit bigger, :-)
It does look great such a big tree in the house and the kids love it too, i always love the smell of a real tree in the house, i will miss it when it is gone after new years.

A deco page i made today, a little basic but i think it is nice anyway.

This one i also made today.

Bye,

I thought it was time to update what i received this week, i sometimes forget to take photo's of swaps and other stuff i received but this time i did think about it. Above there is a photo of the cardkit i receive every month, the paper is lovely double sided and great for winter deco's or fb's.

What a great surprise it was when i opened the envelope with these great fb's and i LOVE the paper, thanks!!

A Lovely swap i received via a groupswap, i really like the fb's, great job!!

As you could have read before i recently bought a cuttlebug, ebay USA is a cheap way for me to get some new dies and this one i received this week. I use my cuttlebug a lot.
