Thanks my lovelies, for all your get well wishes about my headaches.
It helped!!!
My headaches were gone by Friday afternoon, and never came back.
That was just in time, because I spend the weekend in sunny Zeeland with
my parents and ‘my men’. I had some appointments there and had to handle
‘something’ 😉 (more details soon!) and it went way better than expected…
Besides ‘work’, we
also found time to
enjoy the lovely
weather, the sea,
the scenery and
each other! I sipped
white wine in the
afternoon sun with
my mom. I walked
across the dunes
and had coffee in a
beach pavilion with
my dad. I payed my
best friend Lena a
visit. All in all it was
a relaxing and
beautiful weekend!
Here’s a photo I took while standing on the dike with my son.
MAN… is he getting big and EECK… am I getting old and fat!
(I have to get rid of that double chin!)
Since last Sunday was Mother’s day, I surprised my mom with this collage.
‘Only a mother can embrace you by mail’
The head is mine (the photo was taken for a project in 2008 – here’s
the old post) It fitted perfectly on the body of a ‘reading lady’ (image
from a magazine) Bright scraps of papers turned into circles and a border.
The Chronicles of Marit 2011 – week 18
Here’s week 18 in my art journal
This page is a bit about my headache and much about Zeeland and the sea.
My mom gave me such a lovely photobook about oceans all over the world!
It’s a so called ‘coffee table book’, and it’s packed with awesome photos,
almost too beautiful to use – so I decided to tear out a photo right away.
That way the first, scary ‘act of vandalism” is done and from now on I feel free
to tear out all the photos! (There are over 700!)
Today is Tuesday.
Totally ‘LADADI’ Tuesday!
Why?
- I received an email this morning with a lovely message/request.
I can’t share it yet, it has to stay secret for now, but it made me
dance with joy!
- I received an email a while back from Artella Land
They asked permission to reprint one of my blogposts in an issue
of The Art Journal Journey e-zine. (I think it was the April issue,
but I haven’t seen it nor heard from the lady from Artella Land)
- 30 participants have already signed up for Summer Camp!
(My online summer camp has a big ‘camping place’ and you are
welcome anytime! So click the link and join the club!)
- What began as a fantasy, now seriously seems to work out!
I wish you all a ‘ladadi’ Tuesday too!
Keep on singing and enjoy life!
your mother’s Day card made me giggle love that! Ha.. and your Tuesday ‘LADADI’ are AWESOME Congrats on all you rocking happenings 🙂
Great spread for your art journal! I love the colors and the ocean waves. Very cool. Congrats on all the fun things happening! 🙂
Zooo, zo’n collage is nog eens wat anders dan een zelf geknutselde koffiefilter-houder of geverfd eierdopje! 😉 Ik hoop dat je moeder je goed genoeg kent om te weten dat jij in een mooie, nieuw GEKREGEN boek gaat scheuren! Overigens vind ik beide çreaties weer helemaal top. Vooral die voor je moeder want ik hou wel van deze stijl..maar dat wist je al..;-) Maar aan de andere kant, de kleuren van die tweede vind ik helemaal geweldig mooi!
Your son is soooooooooo handsome! and you look FINE! :):):):):):) I loveeeeeeeeeeeee your recent pages!! That ocean one is AMAZING! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Ohhhh and PS… now from your blog post title… I have Pink’s song stuck in my head! 🙂
you’re both beautiful!!!
Your mom’s card is so fun! I bet she loved it!!! I love your weekly page too – such beautiful colors!!! Congrats on all your fab happenings!!!
Congratulations on all the little bits of dreams falling into place, Lovely One. That is so awesome!
You know I love the sea page. And you know I am okay with tearing up books (though I do take deep breaths when I do it ! 😉
I bet your mermaid momma loved her cards ! It is a hoot !
Hugs to you, Beautiful Marit !
Love that collage! So cool!
What a beautiful gift for your Mom! I’m sure she loved it! And look at how beautiful YOU are with your handsome son! So nice to know that you had such a wonderful day. Lots of good things happening for you, Marit! Congratulations! You deserve every one of them!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Love the quote!

So happy your headaches are gone and you had a wonderful time! I can’t wait to hear about your secret! Love all you do!

Loves,

Very glad you’re feeling better and had a great time!
gave dingen heb je weer gemaakt!!!
Oooh meis… die kaart voor je moeder is ge-wel-dig!!! Ben er helemaal weg van!
Ook je “chronicles” bladzijde ziet er té gek uit!
Fantastisch kleurgebruik op beide werken!
Het logo/affice voor de “by the sea” workshop vind ik supermooi!!! Echt… de foto van de zee met de jouwe er doorheen… Prachtig!!
Succes!!
Fijn voor je dat je zo’n leuk weekend hebt gehad, je staat hartstikke mooi op de foto met Nout! Ook je kaart en art journal zijn weer super mooi! Verder ben ik benieuwd naar je plannen!!!!
Corinne taught me to always stick out your chin on photo’s, it helps against double chins 😉 Mooie art journal spread! LOL, ik wissel in m’n reacties op jouw post altijd Engels en Nederlands af, en nu zelfs binnen één reactie 😉 Engels voelt logisch omdat je posts in het Engels zijn, Nederlands omdat het toch ook maf is om in een andere taal tegen elkaar te praten 😉
Dat klinkt inderdaad als een heerlijke dinsdag!!! Wat een mooie art journal weer en goed dat je zo de foto eruit scheurde (ik vind het al zonde om iets uit een tijdschrift te scheuren)!!
Wat een geweldige kaart heb je voor je moeder gemaakt!! Super!
En wat zie ik in je zijbalk??? Een ‘life’ workshop??? Wat maak je me nieuwsgierig zeg!!!
Verheug me enorm op je Zomerkamp, zit dringend verlegen om nieuwe inspiratie!!
Gefeliciteerd met je blije nieuws! Laat ons niet te lang in spanning hè??
XXXJenneke
Kan me voorstellen dat je in een “ladida” stemming bent 🙂
Lekker aan zee geweest, creatief geweest en mailtjes met goed nieuws!
Ben reuze benieuwd naar je “life workshop”!!
oh that’s a funny one for your mother.i love the blue one, although it’s about your headaches, it came out wonderfully.
Love your journal pages as always and that’s a great pic of you and your man-son! hehe Glad your headaches have gone away, I don’t get migraines but from what I’ve heard from others they are hell!!
Wat klinkt dat spannend allemaal! Ik kan op het ogenblik ook wel zingen, dus stem ik lekker bij je in. Je pages…nuja, zoals altijd prachtig, toch?
Zonnige groetjes – Irma
You know, I had no idea what day of the week it was. I am up with insomnia and decided to click on my bookmarks. It made me realize that I missed your Tuesday post. I guess one good thing can come out of lack of sleep. I am going to try to get two hours of sleep now.
