Busy, busy, busy

Hi everybody,

I see it has been a little while since i posted on my blog. Well i was very busy over here but only with fun stuff.
The last weekend of january Harm and i went out for dinner and a movie without the kids ofcourse, we had a very nice meal and after that we saw the movie "sherlock Holmes "wich was nice.

That Sunday i went to the Musical "hairspray", oh that was soooooo funny, i had such a good time. The movie was nice too but seeing it in a theater it is more special i think.
The rest of the week was as normal, on Monday and Tuesday i work so i hardly do any crafting, the rest of the week was over before i knew it. Last weekend i went out for dinner with a friend, we hadn't seen eachother for some time so we had a lot to talk about, we had a lovely meal at a Greek restaurant, YUMMIE!!
We also saw "did you hear about the Morgans"wich was nice but not as funny as i expected it to be.
Today is my moms birthday and we celebrated last Sunday so my parents treated us at some nice dinner at a pancake restaurant. The boys had a lot of fun and the pancakes were yummie. Here in The Netherlands you can get pancakes with all sorts of toppings and fruits.

Tomorrow Harm and i will go to a concert from a Dutch band "the scene" http://www.behindthescene.nl/
We are going with friends, i hope i will like it because i am not a huge fan of their music but Harm wanted to go.
Thursday we are going to the theater to see the show "crazy piano's" I heard some great things about it so i think it will be afun night out.

Well, pfffffff that was a lot .......
Luckaly all fun things, oh no i forgot, i have a dentist appointment tomorrow, that is no fun at all.


Bye, Jolanda

DWYT sketch # 017

Hi!

here is the card i made for the DWYT blog, sketch 017, i hope you like it!

I used a new die for the leafs but the were a bit difficult to get out of the die so i must admit i prefer a punch for the leaves.

Above is the sketch i used.

Eeen beetje laat deze keer maar ik heb weer een kaart gemaakt via DWYT blog, sketch 017.
Ik heb m'n nieuwe malletje van marianne design gebruikt voor de blaadjes maar ik kreeg het papier bijna niet uit het malletje, dat was een heel gepeuter.

Groetjes Jolanda

Sketch # 15

Hi,

For the first time i decide to join some sort of chalenge via a blog called Don't Waste your thursdays.

I liked making the card and i hope i will manage to upload the photo there

Voor de 1e keer heb ik besloten eens een kaart te maken aan de hand van een sketch van het Don't Waste your thursday's blog. Ik vond het erg leuk om te doen en ben niet ontevreden met het resultaat.

nou maar hopen dat het me lukt om de kaart te uploaden daar.

Groetjes

New stamps

Hello there,

Last week i received these 2 cute stamps from Hero Arts wich i bought online at http://www.stempelstudio.nl/

They are from the new 2010 collection and they are just too cute. The hero Arts collection had more stamps i would love to have but you can't buy it all at once. Specialy the cupcake from the new collection is great!

I planned to go to the cinema tonight to see "old dogs" but because of the snow we decided not to go, i wish Spring was already here, i don't like the snow.

Deze week ontving ik deze 2 schattige stempels die online had gekocht bij http://www.stempelstudio.nl/

Ze zijn van de nieuwe collectie van hero arts, er waren wel meer stempels die ik had willen kopen maar helaas kan niet alles in 1 keer gekocht worden, vooral de muffin uit  de nieuwe collectie vind ik super!

Ik had plannen om vanavond naar de bioscoop te gaan naar "old dogs" maar het sneeuwt weer dus gaan we maar niet.

Bye, Jolanda
