Thank you for all your birthday wishes dear friends and readers!
I had a relaxed, easy going day with my two men last Saturday,
and I was spoiled rotten! Look what my sweetie bought me!

..

Aaaah – a video camera!!!! (or is it called “cad cam?”)

Whenever I wanted to make a video-tutorial for my online workshops,
I had to borrow the camera from my neighbour.
It became quite annoying, for her as well as for me, but now I have my own!
I don’t know how to use it yet – my beloved knows ’cause we spend
the weekend making movies for the upcoming workshop – so I was
in front of the camera showing techniques…

And my dear son is a genius in picking presents – he bought me this!

..

He never asked what I wanted
for my birthday – he just
dived into the bookstore and
from all the books that are
for sale there, he picks THIS
from the shelves!!!!

HOW COOL!

And how WELL he
knows his mom!!!!

..

And yes, don’t worry,
there is some creativeness
in this blogpost too!
I finally have something
to show you.

With the little album I made for Nout, the guest designer-ship over at STM,
the heat and the thunderstorms that forced me to shut down the computer
(I won’t, I WON’T mention the disappointment of the Netherlands loosing
the World Cup Final…) I still had some pages laying around that I didn’t
show you yet.

Can I take a deep sigh…?

A REALY DEEP SIGH….???

OK, done. I needed that!

You all know my new workshop “A Creative Art Journey” starts Friday, don’t
you? And of course I started working on it in time… but after I wrote a number
of lessons for it, it somehow didn’t feel right… don’t know why… I just didn’t
“like them” a lot. So I thought about it, talked about it with my beloved but
kept on going anyway… and suddenly last week I knew “what was wrong”
and I decided to go back to the beginning and change it… oooohhhh..
so little time left and right at that moment I decide to go back and start over.

(Warning: picture overload!!!!)

Good morning you all!
Today is queensday
in the Netherlands
and although the sun
isn’t shining, I will
spend the afternoon
outside trying to score
some useful goodies
on the giant flee market!

For you foreigners
who have no idea
what “queensday”
in the Netherlands
is all about, and for
you Dutchies who
want to have a good
laugh… you have to
have a look at this!!!!

(but you may want to watch when your children are out of the room!!!)

And the first photo in my post today shows the tree in our front yard
bursting with blossom.
