Christmas Day 2012

A Very Merry Christmas to you all!  We spent Christmas Eve togheter with my mother and my brother.  Ribbe, pølse og surkål! Roasted spareribs!!, sausages and sour cabbage...all Norwegian style.

We have plenty enough of snow...the blue sun has vanished and it's dark outside.  The fire place is warm...the mittens are on...yes it's Christmas and winter in Norway.

 

...even my diningroom is getting there...

 

 

Have fun and do not forget to enjoy...!

A Grey Sunday in September

Hello - then I've been scrapping!  Last spring - Scraporama Stortreff - had a huge crop and I was there - of course.  Naboen - she's a wonderful scrapper - had made this basic papers and fabrics for a layout - I attended one of her classes at the crop and finished the layout now!

This is my mothers aunt - Ester Johansdaughter Holter Opsahl - on her - I'm not sure, but I do belive it is - Confirmation day.  Her family was Methodist and therefor I can't find the exactly date in any Norwegian Churchbook.  But if any - out there - know where I can find dates like that - I sure would be glad.

This little tag - yes thanks again to my Mother - she is an amazing collector - this is Aunt Esters handwriting - cute?

I usually buy white or beige scrapcstuff - so all the flowers you see on this page - they have had a makeover by me!  I've been using Wild Plum - from Ranger Ink - it's an Alcohol Ink that I had on a little spray bottle with some water.  Likewise did the leaves get a makeover - I've used Glimmer Mist's Cinnamon from MyTattered Angels.

 

Thank you so very much for reading my blog - I like that!   It's pouring down outside - silly rain!  Enjoy life!
