I promised you a big announcement and a lot of photo’s this week…
OK.
Here it comes.
Ready????
I HAVE A NEW WEBSITE!
It is in 2 languages now – English and Dutch – and I RENAMED IT TO:
Marit’s Paper World
My work goes beyond scrapbooking lately, and I think “Paper world”
includes all the art that I make now.
The address and e-mail remain the same though.
And for you who have my blinkie on their blog: did you see it change?
*teehee*
On my website, you can also register to receive my newsletter.
Whenever there is a new workshop coming up or other news to share
I will send a newsletter to the ones who register for it, so you stay up to date
(You can always cancel it if you don’t want to receive the newsletter anymore.)
Thanks to Marius for making everything possible!!!
There’s a new workshop in the make, the logo is on the website already.
It starts on October 22.
Keep an eye on the website (or register for the newsletter) ’cause more news
about it will follow soon.

Another announcement:
I AM A GUEST DESIGNER OVER AT
SCRAPPING THE MUSIC THIS MONTH!
The introduction is on the STM blog today!
Thanks Michelle, for asking me!
I LOVE to work with all you girls this month!
..
Yesterday, Nout turned 18 and I gave him the mini I made for him.
He was thrilled, and it brought tears to his eyes.
He (and I) want to thank everyone who send advice, layouts, cards, nice quotes
and sweet words. I used everything!
I know you all are curious to see the end result, so here it is.
BUT BE WARNED: PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!

Today is the day….
AS OF NOW MY WEBSITE IS ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!
AS OF NOW MY FIRST ONLINE WORKSHOP IS AVAILABLE!!!!!
(see me making a happy dance???)
Those of you who follow my blog, know I was working on my website
and preparing my first workshop…
After I put my survey online (October) and got the results back,
I analysed the answers and I learned an awful lot about what you expect
from a workshop; the good things, the bad things and the “traps”.
I also received a lot of positive and cheering mails and comments,
thank you so much for that!!! It really helped me through the bad days.
Days of “what was I thinking” and “nobody wants me”….
On those days, I looked at your mails, surfed to your blogs and
got energy from YOU to go on realizing my dream.
Thanks also to Marius (my love), Nout (my son) and my parents
(thanks pa!) for all the support (technical and otherwise…!)
I couldn’t have done this without you!!!
AND NOW…
(drumroll please…)
visit my website: MARIT’S SCRAPWORLD
(and let me know what you think!)

Gooooooooddddd moooooornniiiiiinnnnnnnnngggg!
(Ha! Just wanted to do that once!)
Friday… weekend’s just around the corner and the holiday season’s begun.
Well, here in my street it is. Our neighbours across the street sprayed
(fake) snow on their windows – all kinds of Christmas bells and stars.
They draped little lights all around the window, and outside in their small
garden they put lights in the even smaller bushes.
Compared to you, Americans, this is nothing but for Dutch standards,
it’s quite exuberant.
As you maybe know, I don’t decorate much with Christmas.
Maybe a few extra candles (I happen to have them in the house all year!
I love candles!) So hooray for the neighbours!
If I start to long for Christmas lights, I just look out my windows.
And if I’m sick of it, I close the shutters. Easy peasy!
Where was I going by telling you this… ? Oh, yes, the holidays.
I started talking about it ’cause the challenge at “These Are A Few
Of My Favorite Things” was to scrap about your favourite holiday.
I (DON’T) have one…
There are a few
days in the year,
related to holidays,
on which I feel
like the girl
in this image.
(uuhm, yes, it’s
MY face in there –
sort of anyway)
and those days
are about to start!
(read further, ’cause there’s an announcement at the end of this post!)
