										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time flies, and it seems so long ago that I finished the &#8216;April drawings&#8217;&#8230; yet it is only two weeks since I drew the last sketch with the prompts Roxanne Coble provided. I bound all the drawings into a journal, and today I show you the last drawings I made and the journal.</p>
<p><strong>Day 26: A Dead President</strong><br />
I am NOT good at drawing faces, especially the mouth is a problem. This is Nelson Mandela&#8230; when you keep your hand over the mouth you will see that the eyes and part of the nose is alright but the mouth is so wrong. I need to practice drawing faces more!</p>

<p><strong>Day 29: Hands</strong><br />
(I created a so-called &#8220;blind drawing&#8221;)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing29-hands.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20607 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing29-hands.jpg" alt="aprildrawing29-hands" width="482" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing29-hands.jpg 482w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing29-hands-207x300.jpg 207w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Day 30: Favorite moment from April</strong></p>
<p>This drawing needs explanation:</p>
<ol>
<li>When my son was young, we sometimes bought him a chocolate &#8216;children surprise egg&#8217;&#8230; the chocolate egg contains a plastic container with a little toy.</li>
<li>My son and I played a lot of &#8220;Zelda&#8221; video games on my Nintendo game cube. We are both fan of these adventure games.</li>
<li>I started (re-)playing the Zelda games this year. My son is 23 years old and lives on his own now, but when he heard I was playing again he planned a visit to come play &#8216;Zelda&#8217; with me.</li>
</ol>
<p>And now the fun story: I bought a tiny, little plastic &#8216;Zelda doll&#8217; and a chocolate &#8216;surprise egg&#8217;. I carefully removed the foil package and cut open the egg. I replaced the little toy in the egg for the little Zelda doll, and &#8216;glued&#8217; the egg together with chocolate. I put the foil around it and it looked just like new&#8230;<br />
When Nout came to visit I poured him tea and gave him the egg&#8230; with a neutral face saying: for old times sake, we bought you an egg just like you were young&#8230;.</p>
<p>He, of course, ate the chocolate but wasn&#8217;t much interested in the toy&#8230; but he finally opened the plastic container just out of curiosity and couldn&#8217;t believe his eyes when he found the Zelda doll&#8230; &#8220;How did that get in there&#8230;????&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s my favorite moment from April!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing30-favmomentfro.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20610 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing30-favmomentfro.jpg" alt="aprildrawing30-favmomentfro" width="503" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing30-favmomentfro.jpg 503w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing30-favmomentfro-216x300.jpg 216w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px" /></a></p>
<p>The drawings are all made on old book paper that I gessoed. I made a cover out of a piece of cardboard and an old shopping bag. I wanted to keep it simple so I just stamped a title on the cover (&#8220;vingeroefeningen&#8221; means something like &#8220;skill exercises.&#8221;)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00a-cover.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20611 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00a-cover.jpg" alt="aprildrawing00a-cover" width="510" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00a-cover.jpg 510w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00a-cover-219x300.jpg 219w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px" /></a></p>
<p>I bound the pages with a blue waxed thread using the Coptic stitch</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00b-copticbindi.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20612 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00b-copticbindi.jpg" alt="aprildrawing00b-copticbindi" width="500" height="353" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00b-copticbindi.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aprildrawing00b-copticbindi-300x212.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t drawn since I finished the April challenge&#8230; I should though &#8217;cause it&#8217;s good to practice, but right now my focus has shifted to abstract collage. What are you working on lately?</p>
<p>Thanks for stopping by my blog today.</p>

<p>Everyone who is interested in art journaling and searches the internet,<br />
sooner or later will bump onto Kate Crane and her blog &#8216; <em>The Kathryn Wheel</em> &#8216;.<br />
Kate is a well-known art journaler and I&#8217;m very happy that she, despite her<br />
undoubtedly busy schedule, was excited and found time to write a guest post.</p>
<p>Exclusive for the Quirky Dutch Summer Series she made a &#8216; Summer journal &#8216;<br />
and a tutorial to go with it. The result is a cheerful, bright and colourful (how<br />
could it be otherwise &#8230; we&#8217;re talking Kate Crane here!) &#8216;Summer journal.&#8217;<br />
I wish you lots of fun with this tutorial and am already looking forward to see<br />
all your &#8216; Summer journals &#8216;. And now, I let Kate take over my blog from here&#8230;<br />
go ahead girl!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in art journaling en zich op het internet<br />
begeeft, zal vroeg of laat bij Kate Crane en haar blog &#8216;<em>The Kathryn Wheel</em>&#8216;<br />
belanden. Kate is een bekende art journaler en ik ben erg blij dat ze, ondanks<br />
haar ongetwijfeld drukke schema, enthousiast reageerde en tijd vond om<br />
een gastpost te schrijven. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Speciaal voor de Quirky Dutch Summer serie maakte ze een &#8216;Summer journal&#8217;<br />
én een tutorial. Het resultaat is een vrolijk, helder en kleurig (hoe kan het ook<br />
anders&#8230; Kate zou anders Kate niet meer zijn!) zomer boekje waar je alle kanten<br />
mee op kunt. Ik wens jullie heel veel plezier en ben nu al benieuwd naar al jullie<br />
&#8216;Summer journals&#8217;.  Ik geef nu alle ruimte aan Kate&#8230; go ahead girl!<br />

<p style="text-align: left;">I just love to journal by everyday happenings, and I wouldn’t dream of<br />
going away with out a small journal to capture those every day moments.<br />
This year I made myself a special journal for the summer using a variety<br />
of inky  techniques with the gorgeous and colourful ink sprays by Dylusions.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;">Ik hou ervan om de gewone, dagelijkse dingen in mijn art journal te verwerken.<br />
Ik moet er dan ook niet aan denken om op pad te gaan zonder een klein journal<br />
om de dagelijkse momenten in te kunnen vangen. Dit jaar maakte ik zelf een<br />
speciaal journal voor de zomer. Ik leefde me uit met inkt en verschillende<br />
technieken. Ik gebruikte de prachtige, kleurrijke &#8216;Dylusions&#8217; spray inkt.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Be warned: this is messy work!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;">Wees gewaarschuwd: dit is kliederwerk!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-7693 aligncenter" title="Kate02" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate02-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate02-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate02.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>I began by cutting some white A4 card into quarters to make the pages.</p>
<p>Ink sprays can be sprayed directly onto the card and they will begin to<br />
blend by themselves. I sprayed this page, blotted with kitchen towel and<br />
then flicked water directly from my hand and blotted again to make some<br />
background texture.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Ik begon met het in vieren snijden van stevig, wit A-4 papier, voor de pagina&#8217;s.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;">De Inkt spray kan rechtstreeks op de kaart worden gespoten. De diverse<br />
kleuren zullen daarbij vanzelf heel mooi met elkaar mengen. Nadat ik de<br />
pagina besprayed had, depte ik hem af met keukenpapier. Vevolgens spetterde<br />
ik er wat water overheen met mijn handen. Ook dit depte ik weer op en zo<br />
ontstond deze achtergrond structuur. </span></p>

<p>Another way to add ink to a page is to spray ink directly onto a craft mat,<br />
and then ‘smoosh’ your card through it. This method blends the colours<br />
perfectly! On this page I sprayed water through a Dylusions stencil and<br />
then blotted off the water a few seconds later – a technique developed<br />
by Dyan Reaveley, known as ‘ghosting’.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Een andere manier om ink toe te voegen aan een pagina is, door diverse<br />
kleuren op een craft mat te sprayen en daarna met je pagina de inkt op<br />
te nemen. Deze methode laat de kleuren perfect in elkaar overlopen !<br />
Daarna sprayde ik wat water</span><span style="color: #000080;"> op de pagina</span><span style="color: #000080;">, daarbij gebruik makend van<br />
een Dylusions stencil. Neem het water na een paar seconden weer op met<br />
een doek of keukenpapier.  Deze techniek is ontwikkeld door Dyan Reaveley<br />
en staat bekend als &#8216;ghosting&#8217;.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-7695" title="Kate04" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate04-210x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate04-210x300.jpg 210w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate04.jpg 630w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px" /></a></p>
<div id="attachment_7696" style="width: 205px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7696" class=" wp-image-7696" title="Kate05" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate05-195x300.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate05-195x300.jpg 195w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate05.jpg 585w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7696" class="wp-caption-text">Vibrant Turquoise, Fresh Lime</p></div>
<p>If you add a just a touch of black to one of these bright colours, it has a<br />
dramatic effect, and immediately gives a darker tone and more grungy feel.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Als je een klein beetje zwart aan de heldere kleuren van de spray toevoegt,<br />
geeft dat onmiddelijk een dramatisch effect. De toon wordt namelijk wat<br />
donkerder waardoor het werk een &#8216;grungy&#8217; uitstraling krijgt.<br />
</span></p>
<div id="attachment_7697" style="width: 210px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7697" class=" wp-image-7697" title="Kate06" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate06-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate06-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate06.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7697" class="wp-caption-text">Fresh Lime, Black Marble</p></div>
<p>On the following page I used a similar method to Tim Holtz’s wrinkle-free<br />
Distress Technique. I began by spraying ink directly onto a craft mat, and<br />
then smooshed the page through. After blotting, I repeatedly pressed the<br />
page down to pick up left-over ink, and dried with a heat gun between layers.<br />
Finally I splashed water over it and blotted off the excess to create even<br />
more texture.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;">Op de volgende pagina gebruikte ik een methode die lijkt op de &#8216;wrinkle free<br />
distress techniek&#8217; van Tim Holtz.  Ik begon met het sprayen van wat inkt op<br />
een crafters mat. Vervolgens haalde ik mijn pagina door de inkt. Daarna drukte<br />
ik de pagina nog eens extra op de mat om de overgebleven inkt op te zuigen.<br />
Tussen de bewerkingen door droogde ik telkens met een heat tool. Tot slot<br />
spatte ik water over de pagina. Dep het overtollige water op met een doek<br />
of keukenpapier. Zo ontstaat een mooie textuur.</span></p>

<p>You can repeat these techniques with several more pages, using different<br />
colour combinations, to build up a good selection of pages for your journal.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Het is leuk om deze technieken op diverse pagina&#8217;s met steeds andere<br />
kleurencombinaties, te herhalen. Zo bouw je een flinke collectie achtergrond<br />
pagina&#8217;s op voor je journal. </span></p>
<p>The next step on several of my pages was to spray ink through a stencil in<br />
random places. Notice how the light ink on a darker background still shows up.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">De volgende stap was, om diverse pagina&#8217;s met een stencil en spray inkt<br />
te bewerken. Zie je hoe de lichtere kleuren spray inkt toch te zien zijn op<br />
de wat donkerdere achtergrond?<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7700" title="Kate09" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate09-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate09-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate09.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>But don’t waste any ink left on your stencil! Each time you have sprayed<br />
ink through a stencil, you can flip it over to get the revers image, and then<br />
use any excess on a spare blank page. This will make a page in itself!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Verspil geen inkt! Met inkt die op je stencil achterblijft nadat je hebt<br />
gesprayed, kun je grappige afdrukken maken door het stencil om te<br />
draaien en af te drukken op een ander, leeg vel papier.<br />
Zo heb je er ineens een mooie pagina bij!<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7701" title="Kate10" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate10-208x300.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate10-208x300.jpg 208w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Kate10.jpg 626w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px" /></a></p>
<p>My next step was to lay all of my pages out on my craft mat and push<br />
gesso through a stencil with an old credit card, in one or two random<br />
places on each page, using a variety of different stencils:</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Vervolgens spreidde ik al mijn pagina&#8217;s uit op mijn craft mat en bewerkte<br />
ze met gesso. Ik smeerde het met een oude creditcard op één of twee<br />
willekeurige plaatsen door het stencil. Zo bewerkte ik, gebruik makend<br />
van diverse stencils, alle pagina&#8217;s.<br />
</span></p>

<p>I also dug out all of my favourite stamps and stamped on each page to add<br />
more interest to the background. I didn’t think about it too much – I just<br />
stamped away!! You can add anything else you like at this stage – you may<br />
notice a few bottle lid stamps and a few splats on my pages.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Ook diepte ik mijn favoriete stempels op. Stempelen op de pagina&#8217;s geeft er<br />
net even dat extra&#8217;s aan. Ik dacht niet teveel na over de afbeeldingen, ik<br />
stempelde gewoon een eind weg! In dit stadium kun je vanalles als stempel<br />
gebruiken: bijvoorbeeld flesdoppen en wc-kokers voor cirkels etc.</span></p>

<p>Because I am such a messy worker (!) I covered the back of each page<br />
with old book pages, and then created pockets at the lower edge by cutting<br />
one of my finished pages into three sections, perfect for holding photos,<br />
notes, journaling tags etc</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Omdat ik altijd erg rommelig werk (!) beplakte ik de achterkanten van<br />
mijn bladzijden met oude boekpagina&#8217;s. Daarna maakte ik pockets onderaan<br />
deze pagina&#8217;s. Daarvoor knipte ik één van mijn bewerkte bladzijdes in drie<br />
stroken, die ik onderaan de pagina&#8217;s bevestigde. Deze pockets zijn perfect<br />
om foto&#8217;s, notities etc. in te bewaren.<br />
</span></p>

<p>I added some Chit Chat words by Tim Holtz to the page I wanted as my<br />
front cover, and mounted this page onto chipboard for a bit of strength.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Op de pagina die ik als cover wilde gebruiken, plakte ik wat losse woorden.<br />
De pagina is daarna op chipboard bevestigd, zodat hij extra stevig is.<br />

<p>I decided to bind my pages together with book rings because this gives me<br />
the freedom to remove pages for stitching onto, and also to add more pages,<br />
because in time I’m sure I’ll want to!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Ik besloot om mijn pagina&#8217;s met boek ringen samen te binden omdat dit<br />
me de vrijheid geeft om de pagina&#8217;s eruit te halen en los te bewerken. Op<br />
deze manier zijn ze makkelijker te hanteren als je bijv. met de naaimachine<br />
aan de slag wilt. Ook geeft deze binding de mogelijkheid om pagina&#8217;s toe te<br />
voegen en ik weet haast wel zeker dat ik dat na verloop van tijd zal willen!<br />

<p>It&#8217;s the unfinished page<br />
I made for <a href="http://oneyearartjournal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Year in<br />
the Life of an Art Journal</a>.</p>
<p>I wrote in <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/?p=2832" target="_blank">this blogpost</a><br />
how I struggled with the<br />
prompt, and in the end<br />
I left the page unfinished<br />
and moved on&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; to come back to it<br />
last weekend!</p>
<p>I had some spare time and decided to start working on the AYITLOAAJ<br />
prompt for July 30th&#8230; that&#8217;s a bit early maybe, but it bothered me that<br />
I skipped the last one and I wanted to really be in time with a page for the<br />
next prompt and have a page to show by the end of July.<br />
After all, I am a guest host at A Year in the Life of an Art Journal! (For the<br />
curious ones: my prompts will be up in September and November)</p>
<p>So I took my &#8216;A Year&#8230;&#8217; art journal and yep, I came across that unfinished<br />
&#8216;thing&#8217; again. I almost flipped the page, but I can&#8217;t stand &#8216;unfinished bussiness&#8217;<br />
so I hold still and looked at it for a while.</p>
<p>Fresh eyes &#8211; and I suddenly knew what to do!</p>
<p>The title of the prompt was &#8216;Broken&#8217;&#8230;<br />
this page was unfinished and &#8216;broken&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p>So I &#8216;repaired&#8217; it!</p>

<p>It still isn&#8217;t the best page I ever made, but it&#8217;s OK now.<br />
(and yes, I finished the next one too. I&#8217;m more satisfied<br />
about that page but it won&#8217;t be online before July 30th)</p>
<p>My son was here last week (he left last Friday for a holiday in Portugal)<br />
and we took the opportunity to watch one documentary/film each night<br />
from his DVD box &#8216;The Blues&#8217; (Each movie is made by a different director,<br />
Scorsese, Eastwood etc. and handles a period or aspect of the blues)</p>
<p>We also had the movie &#8216;Cadillac records&#8217; on DVD so we watched that too.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Cadillac Records is a 2008 musical biopic written and directed by<br />
Darnell Martin. The film explores the musical era from the early 1940s<br />
to the late 1960s, chronicling the life of the influential Chicago-based<br />
record-company executive Leonard Chess, and the musicians who<br />
recorded for Chess Records&#8221; &#8211; Wikipedia &#8211;<br />
</em></p>
<p>Being all into &#8216;the blues&#8217; last week, I couldn&#8217;t help that some things<br />
came straight on the weekly page of my chronicles. I glued the image<br />
of Adrien Brody there because he plays &#8216;Lenny Chess&#8217; in the movie&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The Chronicles of Marit &#8211; Week 29</strong></p>

<p>The lovely postcard I received last week (You can click on the image<br />
to enlarge) is made by the awesome and talented Deb Christensen<br />
from<a href="http://dyingtobeyours.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Dye-ing to be yours</a>.  I just had to include it on the page!<br />
I made a plastic envelope to put it in.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/week29-b.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2892" title="week29-b" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/week29-b.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="693" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/week29-b.jpg 950w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/week29-b-300x218.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /></a></p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the page without the postcard. You can still read the journaling<br />
and guess what was hidden behind the mermaid&#8230;?<br />
A sneaky scuba diver! Love it!</p>
<p>Last week, my blogfriend <a href="http://dyingtobeyours.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sandra</a> celebrated her 40th birthday.<br />
I am waaaaaay older than her, and so are my braincells &#8217;cause I had<br />
another date in mind&#8230; to be honest, I thought her birthday was today!</p>
<p>Anyway, the card that I made her is double fitting.<br />
That is from ME (with braincells as wrinkled as the face of that woman)<br />
to SANDRA (with shiny and joyful and hard working braincells)</p>
<p>Happy NON-birthday dear!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kaart-sandra.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2890" title="kaart-sandra" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kaart-sandra.jpg" alt="" width="707" height="950" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kaart-sandra.jpg 707w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kaart-sandra-223x300.jpg 223w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px" /></a></p>

<p>You noisy ones probably want to read the quote that I journaled on the card.<br />
I don&#8217;t want to have you all hanging sideways in front of the computer screen<br />
to try and read it, so here it is:</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Het komt er niet op aan hoe oud men is doch hoe men oud is&#8217; </em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a bit difficult to translate, but it has more or less the following meaning:<br />
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter what your age is but how you come to age/how you<br />
act on your age.&#8221;</p>
<p>And that was it for now dear ones!<br />
Thanks for stopping by, I always love to see you come visit and comment.<br />
I know you love to see me visiting YOUR blogs too, but I have little time<br />
at the moment so it may take a while before I&#8217;m caught up in blog reading.<br />
I will try though, sweeties, I will try&#8230;</p>
<p>Have a nice week!</p>
