One day…

…you wake up realizing the fantastic weekend you had is over.
It’s Monday and you feel a bit awkward, due to the time change.
Last weekend, you moved the clock one hour forward, and while in your head
it’s still early the alarmclock tells you the morning has long begun…

You stumble out of bed. Your eyes aren’t fully open yet…
You went to bed way too late – that stupid hour change.
You put on the coffee and look at a strange newspaper (???)
Ah, suddenly you remember… the newspaper changed
from broadsheet to tabloid.

After you had your coffee, you begin to live a bit…
enough to get ready for the day (which, by the way,
started hours before you opened your eyes.)
You put on the computer to see if there’s any news
and then….

then you see that your layout titled “One Day”

WON THE LATEST SCRAPPING THE MUSIC CHALLENGE!!!!!!

……

My eyes are open wide now.
I’m in the hall of fame!!!!
Yeeeehaaaa!!!
I’m fully awake now!!!!
Enough to “think and write” in English so let me tell you about my weekend…

Freewheelin’ Friday (#14)

Remember the “to do list” at the end of my former post?
I didn’t do ONE thing from that…
Instead, I decided to focus on the ATC-bags and get them all done before
the weekend so that the sewing machine could be stored upstairs again.


For those
of you
who haven’t
seen the first
“ATC-pouch”
here it is…

I made this
little bag
last week to
store my
“to trade”
ATC cards.

Freewheelin’ Friday (#13)

Alice in Wonderland keeps popping up on several blogs due to the movie,
and you all know that I’m in love with Alice since I participated in the
“Alice Journal Swap” (Haven’t seen the movie yet – it’s released this week
in the Netherlands – but I’m going to see it with my son soon!)

Anyway, I had Alice in mind when I started playing in my art journal…

Walking the yellow brick road

Let’s start with the yellow brick road.

When I looked for a picture of it on the Internet this morning, I not only
found it on a blog – I also read the words accompanying this pic,
written by Vanessa Leigh:

“The yellow brick road,
the road to everywhere
and nowhere at the same
time…. …in my life, there
have been so many paths
that I have taken, ones
that have been yellow
brick roads to my goal,
my pursuit, my dream,
or so I thought at least.
Some of the yellow
brick that I have followed
have been dead ends…
….

….
But, every path was meaning, every brick in those roads was purposeful
and meaningful, and I needed to gain full trust in myself that I knew,
deep within, which way to go. I ALWAYS trust my soul now, no question.
