bad blogger, i know...

It is not that nothing is going on in my life, for some reason im' just not blogging about it, I'll try to make amends.

• My pretty niece got confirmed (is it really called that in english?). She was really beautifull and didn't look like a little bride, like some of the girls tend to do. 

Vi gave her this Margurit (daisy) necklace by George Jensen, and she loved it.

• We began to get our house ready for sale, even put up this wallpaper on one of the walls in our livingroom.

This is not our livingroom, though. The weather is so bad, that it is really to dark to take picures in right now. But the wallpaper looks great in our house too. I just love ferm livings products.

But in the process of makeing it all look pretty, we decide (again) not to sell and went back to the plan of making our house bigger and renovating it...

• Together with a friend, i bought an I-top-tool, it is fun to use, and truely does make pretty little brads. But the video is just hilarious

• Took a suprice mothers-day portrait of that same friends daughters

• This is what i got for my mothers-day present (or at least it should arive in the mail on friday...can't wait). Isn't it cute?

• And last but not least we are making a dream come true for our son on saturday, by finally taking him to LEGO-land. He letteraly stod on his head in the sofa when we told him. 

This photo is four years old - Lego has always been a favorite. (please don't notice the messy bed in the background).

That is it for now  - plan to enjoy a long weekend.

Our first Halloween

We decorated muffins...

...and cake...

...after dinner, the children decorated halloweencookies...

...and we played fun games in the dark...

...trick or treated a little bit

...and ate a lot of candy just before bedtime...

...it was a really nice and fun evening, and think we are going to do it again next year!

A little break!

Benjamin and I went to the playground for a little picnic, together with my oldest and best friend Signe and her son Anton (my godson :-)) It was really nice to get away from the school work, (which is driving me crazy, I have given my self until friday to get i done, it is due monday the 4th, so..). But it was a fun hour, and just relaxing. At the moment we are having really warm and sunny weather, allmost summer-like. Benjamin is spending all the time he can outside with his dad.

By the way, i failed my drivers-test...oh well I'll pass some day :-)

Where did the weekend go??

This weekend really went by fast. Saturday morning the three of us went to Stor Bøgeskov (a really pretty forrest with a natural spring). I had to shoot a familyportrait for a friend, but it was really foggy and I'm sorry to say that the pictures are not my best. She is comming tomorrow to take a look at them...

The spring

Their dog - not mine

Later saturday we went to that christmas-circus for two loooong hours. Benjamin just didn't have the patience for that. Later Anna picked me up for a fun night of scrapping. I made 4 pages, but never used my new Dozen kit - I think i'll save it for this years christmas photos. Anna drowe me back home at 2 in the morning....

I have about 7 scrap pages i haven't posted yet - i'll do it tomorrow, can't take pictures in the dark. 

Sunday i made  appelpie, muffins and buns for our guest and we all had a really nice couple of hours. Hope they feel the same way

And spite all the activity, the picture above is all i can show.

Not getting anywhere

Yesterday we went to a funeral. My mothers brother diede last thursday. He was very sick so nobody was surprised when he went away. I wasn't close to him and niether was my mother, in fact non of us had talked to him in a very long time.(that another story) But it is still sad for his wife and children (both grown-ups). Benjamin was at my mothers house afterwards, so Brian and I had the day to our selves. I know I should have been working om my schoolwork, but I am just getting nowhere - today I really have to put an effort into it...I promise.

I have a really busy weekend planed. Tomorrow at 10 I have a photoshoot  - a family portrait. They want the pictures taken in the woods, so Brian and Benjamin is tacking along and going for a walk while I'm working. At 2 Benjamin and I are getting picked up by my best friend, her mother and her daughter (who is also three years old) and then we are all of for a christmas-circus-show. When we get home at about 6, another very good friend of mine, Anna - the sweetest swed i know, is picking me up. Then we are going to scrap all evening at her place  (really looking forward to this - just got my kit from The Dozen )- then I hope she will drive me back home for a bit of sleep. 

Sunday morning I have to bake a cake or something, because a school friend and her boyfriend is visiting us for the first time (very first time for the boyfriend - first time for her as a real guest and not as a co-student - working on a project). It is going to be a great weekend....

Here is a few pictures of some of my favorite christmas decor, most of it from my childhood:

It's been way to long...

OMG, it feels like months since i last posted something. My picture of the day project...what can i say, for the last month or so, i haven't really felt that inspired. So there will be a lot of blank post if I am going to follow through with it. I actually think that it will be as much of a challenge for me not to. I am the kind of person who hate blank spaces in a collection, I have to have it all... 

Right now I dont know, what i want to do, I am not going to force my self to post bad pictures (which has happened), just so i can post something. I must be better with just one great photo than five bad ones. 

What have i been up to:

I have started school again.

I been on a day-long wedding photoshoot ( A nice couple - Ulrikke and Søren)

Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner 

And today i am going to Scrap-a-mania right here in my home town. Its a big gathering of scrappers and scrapbooking supplies sellers. I haven't been to Scrap-a-mania before, but i hope to get som great inspiration and to meet my E-mail friend Annika!

Tonight we are going to dinner at some friends house.

I allmost forgot to to tell you about the greatest thing, i finally got a desk in the living room and my sweet boyfriend made it for me out of an old dinner table, it looks beautiful and perfect for our living room. Going to take som pictures soon for you to see.

A new pic of Benjamin

That must be it for now. Will be back soon with some new pix and maybe more from Egypt!
