Cold week – sunny pages!

June 1, 2010 By Marit

If you were my friend on facebook – I deleted my account yesterday (May 31)
so you won’t find me overthere anymore. I don’t trust facebook for one bit
after all the things I read and heard about it – they use your data and sell it
to other companies – I’m keen and careful when it comes to my privacy
and so it feels good that I deleted my account! (for you who didn’t read
my post about it, it’s here)

..

Today it’s JUNE – that sounds like Summer and we haven’t even had a proper
Spring season yet… Aaargghh! I can hardly call the three or four nice weather
days we had last Month “Spring”, last week was cold and grey and rainy and
right now it’s foggy outside and they predict rain in the afternoon…
I hope the weather forecast is right by saying that the temperatures will rise
at the end of the week…

..

Although (or maybe because) the weather wasn’t nice, I made a sunny page
in my weekly art journal.

As you can see, I blurred the journaling.
I was thinking about this before… what kind of journal do I want this to be?
How private is it? What do I write in it? And I also came across a “problem”
that some of you will recognize: “scrapbooking things” that happen during
the week but that you can’t share on the Internet yet because it has to stay
secret a little longer…

So I decided from now on to blur the bulk journaling, so I can write down all
the “secret things” that happen during the week without me having to worry
about you reading it or figuring it out!

Yesssss, exciting things DID happen last week and NOOOO, I can’t share it yet.
Patience, my dear readers – patience!

..


I got an old
week planner
from my mom
a few Months
ago and it shows
beautiful images!

I love those
gypsy/mexican
ladies and cut one
out to use in my
week journal.

While having all
my paper & stuff
on the table,
I made a card
for my mom too.

..

After weeks of “holding back” and giving hints (I think she didn’t sleep at all
last week, did you sweetie? 😉 ) Julie finally revealed her BIG NEWS on
These are a Few of my Favorite Things.

If I were you, I’d click on this link and hop over there… there’s a BIG challenge
with HUGE prizes going on also! There will be 27 (yes, you read that right, 27!)
winners for the next challenge. I sure hope to find time to play myself and
celebrate along with the fave girls!

..

Nout finished all the exams! The grades will be announced June 17 but
he definitely passed all the exams, no worries here. I’m a proud momma!!!
And maybe you know, or maybe you don’t (keep reading then!) but…

..I am gathering advice and wisdom from all over the world –
to add in a mini album I’m creating for my son to give to him
as he graduates high school ánd turns 18.
What would you say to him? What advice would you give to
a young adult, stepping into a new life phase?
All quotes, suggestions, advice, poems and so on are welcome!
Read more about it here.

I already received e-mails with advice and quotes and some ladies
are creating (real life and digi) pages to put in the book! Awesome!!!
Thanks soooo much Lena, Yvonne (Yyan) and Helen!!!
There’s still time to send good advice or wishes…

..

I just see a little bit of sunlight peeping through the window, YEAY!
I hope this week will bring more of that – and I wish you a sunny and
beautiful week too!

Je t’embrasse!
