Hello to you all - it's still unbeliveable what's happened to Norway.

It's been some horrible days - so many young life has gone away - so many families has been destroyed - because of one man and his thinking.

Here's a link to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Here is a link I found on Solorlagets facebook site Paradise Shattered

My son, Jan-Nichlas, works in Oslo - just nearby where the big bomb exploded and destroyed the Norwegian Government Office Building. I'll talked to him just minutes after it happened - he is now home - safe and sound.

It's so unbelievable - so tragic - we are a little nation - a little country - not 5 million people - we respect each other - we have a wonderful democracy and openness- we are proud to be Norwegian.

We'll continue to fight for our fundamental values like freedom and democracy.

And it's vacationtime...whatever that is! 

Trying to read the paper...with candle in an old glassjar! called Norgesglass!

But it's cold at Stangelandet...about 60 / 70 Farenheit...no Summertime at all!

This is Varg...my Svedish Lappdog.

Thank you for reading my blog...and do not forget to ENJOY...even when the world are kind of black! right now.

Last Sunday In April

I'm not a very good blogger - right now.  Varg is taking a lot of time - but he's a gorgeous little puppy.  My garden is a mess - I didn't do much last fall - getting that now!  I have a wonderful job - but demanding - and I just love it.  Then I have some voluntary things that I have to keep track on.
That's why I haven't been scrapping or attending any crops lately - and I don't like that.  I feel I'm missing the connection to the scrapbooking social set and all my scrap! friends.
Like Scarlett O`Hara said - Tomorrow, yes tomorrow - it's always another day!  It's no excuse - I'm looking foreward to Mjøstreff   -  The Gathering for Scrappers and Cardmakers  -  A huge thanks to Scrappe Lise and Moia!  Take a good and long peek in their blogs - they are just some of the best scrappers and cardmakers I know!
This layout - well I 've used a looong time making this one.  It's me sitting on my fathers back, waving to my mother.  The picture is taken either at Svullrya - a small place in Grue County or Kjølaberget in Åsnes County.  Anyway, I used to say aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa all the time - must have turned my parents "crazy"

Have a nice day, it's grey weather here at Stangelandet today, I'm going to put up! my picket fence and getting Nichlasen to paint it!  That's going to be the hardest part - enjoy...
