Movie tickets

2 weeks ago i tried to win 2 movie tickets for this movie with julia roberts, all i had to do i call a phonenumber and so i did, and i won 2 tickets for the movie!!! It will be on Sunday morning but it will be great.



A friend did the same at an other magazine and she won too, for this movie and she asked me to come along, for her this was the 2nd time she won tickets.

Next week they have the same promo at a magazine so i will try again, maybe i will be lucky again.

I love to go to movies but i think a ticket is getting too expensive, that doesn't stop me from going to be honost because watching a movie at home is different than at the theater.

Have a nice Saturday everybody!!

Our trip

Last week we went on a small trip with the kids, we rented a cottage at a holiday park, here you can see the house wich was actually very nice and comfortable. The area was also very nice.
The trip didn't start very well because when we wanted to leave home the car wouldn't start.
It took a few hours waiting to hear the car couldn't be fixed that day so to drive to the cottage we rented a car. That next day the car was fixed so harm drove home to get the car.

On wednesday we visited a very nice zoo, the animals have a lot of space there and i think that is good.
I don't like animal parks where the animals are bored and live in small cages.


They also had a butterfly garden, it was hot in there but because the camera had some damp on it it makes the photo look nice i think.

Thursday we drove to germany to visit this castle .

The tower.

On Friday we drove to "Slagharen"a family fun park , with all sort of rides, the kids loved it there.

Sunday we celebrated mothersday here, sam made me this housenumber at school, cute isn't it.

And Tom made me this broche and the text says , mom you have a heart of gold.

They also gave me a gift coupon for the perfume store.

Today i have a free day without the kids, because of my new job i had to take some free days i had left so i have a lot of free time these comming 3 weeks.

I will start my new job June 15th, this friday i will go there for a few hours to see how things work there, i hope i will like it there.

Bye, for now

FB's i made this week.

Finaly i took some time to use my new stamps, here is the result, one isn't ready yet but these two are. I think the stamps are soooooo cute

These 3 fb's i made for a friend who gave birth to a baby girl. I hope she will like the fb's. I used the cutting sheets from Eline pellinkhof, her babies are cute.

Forever friends fb's made via my own group, unfortunatly the photo's are a bit blur but i hope you like them anyway.

Have a good weekend!!

Bye, Jolanda

12 year anniversary and a new job!!

Wednesday was a very nice day for me, Harm and i had our 12 year anniversary, we are not married but we ware together for 12 years so he bought me some lovely flowers.

An other special thing was that i got the job i applied for, it will be a job at a smaller docters'office and i think i will feel much better there. Today i told y colleaques that i will leave and that was a bit hard but i am still happy with the decision i made.

Here are 3 fb's i made for a group swap, they are on their way to the U.S.A

My order from janetstore, i just couldn't help myself when i saw these cute items!

A little project Sam did at school, he was so proud of his patatoe head, lol.

This weeks update.

Last weekend i found a great American site with all sorts of recipes and i made these chocolate chip muffins, they turned ourt very well and sooo easy to make. i just love muffins and cupcakes. I found this book at an online bookstore and i just had to buy it, they use a lot of backing soda, also in the american recipes so i have to try to find that here.

Here are 3 fb's i made for a groupswap.

A big private swap i recieved from Romania, i was all out of fb's and she was so sweet to send me this big swap. Thanks!!!

A groupswap i received, they are lovely , aren't they?

Another groupswap also very nice, thanks!!

This morning Harm colored and decorated 20 eggs for easter together with the boys. i was happy i didn't buy more eggs because he would have decorated those too i think.

Sam & Tom, and the eggs.

New card-kit

This week i received a new card-kit again, this one is also a great one, i love the paper and all the other stuff.
