The Day Before New Years Eve

It's not Christmas untill the tree are in the house and decorated!  Well the tree was in the house on Christmas Eve and I did some decorating on Christmas Day!  So Nichlas, Christmas is here!  Welcome!

I just love red Christmas flowers - and I have no clue - what so ever - what their names are in English - so please help me out!

Here are some white flowers - I love them too!

This is my snowy porch - it's about 40 centimeters / 15 inches white snow - and I do not like snow.

Anyway - it's Christmas - have a wonderful time - where ever you are - and enjoy life!

SISTE DAG I FEBRUAR 2009

Hello - and good afternoon - sitting here talking with my son on msn. Strange this "thing" writing letters on my wireless keyboard - and Jan-Nichlas staying in Oslo writes his own words on his laptop! and I'm reading them here in Ottestad - amazing and strange - and I'm very happy and lucky! Bet you are too!
This is a layout from scrapliftcompetition at - The Pink Forum - I didn't win, but I had a lot of fun - and I tried Prima flowers - a lot of them - it was quite challenging.
The picture is taken August 2007 - it's the SAND i Ryensjøen and the only cloudberry I saw that year.
It's still WINTER here in Norway - we have tons of snow - I'm not a snowfan! But the SUN is here and the sky is blue - spring is right around the corner!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy!

SCRAPPESTAFETTEN HØST 2008

Hello - long time since I wrote in this blog of mine. The world is busy - and so am I! I have a demanding job - that I love. I have hobbies like scrapping and stamping. I have my genealogy that are so exciting. And at last my little big border collie, CindyC. Ohh I almost forgot my son, my own little angel thar are apprentice's in a "nerded" store in our Capitol Oslo.

This layout are one of many in the "scrappestafetten" at the pink forum We were challenged to pick a color - I chose yellow - then we had to make a lift in vintage style - a layout made by Sessad.

I have used Grafton Maxwell Avn cardstock from Scenic Route Colletion The angel is from this collection - I just love the cardstocks from 3ndypapers - the two girls are just fabulous.

I liked the challange - thank you Ruffa!

The picture - taken in our garden at Gamleveien in Flisa - is not very good - and it's a dias. But I can still feel the taste of the sweets that my aunt from California had sent us - the taste of cinnamon - the taste of America.

My sister and I had got pink baby dolls and sweets from aunt S. It's early in the 60s - 1964 / 65 - and we were so proud.

I've used a lot of scrap - painted in yellow - some laces - the sweet are painted with alcohol ink and my ink pad Versafine in vintage sepia.

Have a nice journey - have a wonderful November - the month in front of Chistmas and December. Ho ho ho!

SECOND SUNDAY IN AUGUST

This August is wet and cold and theres no summertime in sight. Too bad! But then again I'm able to paint and decorate my scraproom. I'm making myself a scrap / media / genealogy room. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

My aunt from Kristiansand stayed some days with my mother in July. She was going to Cocktailstua with her youngest son, Kristian. He had a new motorbike and drove all the way from Mandal. Tough gay!

My aunt Randi wanted me to make a card for a couple thats having their Golden Wedding Day. It's a challenge at the pink forum and it inspired me to make this - your welcome to leave a few words - have a wonderful week and enjoy whatever your doing!
