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...

It's April...already!

This is my little puppy Varg.  He just love the snow.

Varg is a Swedish Lapphund and he has a brother and a sister.  You can read more about his Sabmebæna family here.

Varg is a playful, stubborn and loving little puppy.  He loves beeing outside in the garden, barking at anything that "moves" from leaves to me!  We're having a long ang good stroll every night.  He likes dried fish, bones and playing with his water.  He's one happy dog!

The best thing about Varg - well to me - he is not a morning dog!

Enjoy your day...

My New Bind It All Adressbook

There's so many beautiful Bind It All creations around.  I just love watching the creativeness that's in many blogs.  I've been "buying" a new adressbook for so long - but I bought the Bind-It-All instead.  I've made two books - one for adresses and one for birthdays!

Some papers with numbers - some with letters and some thin cardboard with plain lines.......

...measured to fit my cardboard covers...

...making holes with my bind-it-all-machine

All made by using my bind-it-All.  Have a nice Sunday and don't forget...enjoy!

A Swedish Lappdog - En Svensk Lapphund

This is the reason why I don't do scrapbooking or blogging......

My ScrapMediaGenealogyMusic Studio

This story started during the last Christmas my father lived - in 2004.  I had teared down a wall between my livingroom and a bedroom - and I told my father that this room of mine should be ready next Christmas!  He knew me - and said - no way! 
Today - five years later it's pretty okay - so welcome to my green studio!  Here I listen to music and sometimes watch television - I have my computer that's on most of the day and the night - I do my genealogy here - and my scrapping! 
It's my room - it's my studio - and you are welcome to the grand tour!

Here I keep my genealogy book - my dictionaries and encyclopedias - my Norweigian history books and my churchbooks.  It's knowledge in thoose shelves - all I have to do, is to use it!

My latest layout...

I do have some love for blue glass - and my curtains are not finished - but one day...

Here I keep all my collected stuff about ny grandparents - and I keep everything I get..

The small boxes are for postcards - stamps - napkinds and fabrics - all for my scrapping!

You see the teared book - when my border Cindy was little - she eat most the back of the Åsnes Bygdebook - it's a memory...

Oh yes - I do clean up after my scrapping - isn't that one cute?

All the boxes are from IKEA - I just love IKEA!  Don't you?

I.m an old lady and when your getting older you need moore light - so this is hanging over my working space - it's IKEA...

Here are my latest layouts - they hang in a wire together with some zinkbuckets.

...this layout from O'Hare Air Port is not finished - I'm going to put some text on it - later...

Those roses did I get on my fifthiest birthday from my colleagues at my work -

I dried them - the roses!

This is the only corner in my studio...

It's IKEA - with some old typesetter's cases and some new boxes with ornates plates from Tim Holtz

Here's my Gazelle - here's my old vinyl LP's - and my bind it all...

I'm using old china and ceramics to put stuff in - thoose blue cups did I get from my aunt Randi - who lives in Kristiansand - a nice place in Norway to visit...during summertime...

Here's more from Tim Holtz - an old rack for gloves - and yes I do collect colotful roosters...here's one I bought in Spain - it's a Tiffany lamp...

And my very old casettes...

Here's my workingplace...

...here I put all my rolled! papers...the oak shelves did I buy at Clas Olsson...

Thats my PC!  And The Christmas Gift from my mom - a Canon scanner 8800 F - it's a dream...The blue vase is an empty thermos bottle - without the bottle!  I'm going to put some paint brushes into it...

...and here's my Canon printer - it's another dream...

...collected flowers - coffeebeans - ribbons - old treadspools... in some old and some new glass jars...

...colorful...

 

...all my letters are in thoose boxes...

...thoose white and silver jars are the best - I can "crash" them in any way I want to - and I just love doing that in my scrapping - the little jar with the ladylikestuff I got from my mom...thank you...

...red is festivas..

...the brown form is for making cakes - I have my dabbers in it!...

...the oilpaint from my dad - I did put it in a roostercup..

...the small boxes are marked with clips from Making Memories - they don't make them any longer - and a selfmade papertag that says whats in the box...

...pink flowers and a pink little Bambi - bought at Scrappegodis...

...at the topp shelf I have my big ink pads and my big trimmer from Fiskars...

...on this shelf I have what I use daily - the small paper trimmer - and my craft mat - and my score-pal...I just need a course to learn how to use it!...
