Eeeeeekkkk, it’s Friday!
And since I’m no longer a Lotus design team member, I had to think
of something else to blog about on Fridays….
At first I thought of a photo with “the story behind” every Friday
would be nice, but naaaahhhhhh…
I better take advantage of the fact that I’m free to do – and blog –
anything I like! Freewheelin’ it will be, YEAH!
So I will present you a post with randomness every Friday
(but of course I will be bloggin’ in between too, as always)
and it can be ANYTHING I want…
It could be a photo ofcourse, but also things I came across
on the Internet, links, thoughts, layouts I made…
just anything I feel like sharing!
So here’s my first “Freewheeling’ Friday” ***
(*** and for the ones recognizing this title somehow, yes
I “stole” the title from Bob Dylan…)
Some music ATC’s I made this week!
Moondance – Van Morisson
The image is an old postcard,
I couldn’t find the name of these
birds anywhere on the card but
it seems Ibis to me.
The title is embossed.
I used my tiny little alpha
stamps, and that’s why the text
flows together a bit…
It says: “Well it’s a marvelous
night for a moondance”
It’s a very old song by
“Van the Man” but I still
love it so much! In fact,
it’s in my “Top 2000 list”
(Dutchies will know what I mean!) so you think of me
when it’s played on the radio.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Here’s another ATC, it’s kind of a funny one…
I had all these Santa
illustrations in my
stash (can’t find the
English word for it,
“poezieplaatjes” –
images to put in a
poetry/friendship
album???) and I
thought it would
be fun to use them.
I’m not the Christmas celebrating type, and sometimes all the “kindness”
and “sweetness” and “peace” that people (and tv-shows, and shop-windows)
emit gets to my nerves, so I chose these lyrics “You better watch out”…
it can be explained in different ways.
Today, my neighbour brought me some old magazines.
She thought I might use them “for your scrapping” and yes… I did!
Right away, ’cause I found this image of a shoe – full of bling bling
(but the real expensive kind! Those are real diamonds…)
and this song came to mind:
Take A Walk On The Wild Side – Lou Reed
Some spraying
(Ranger – red pepper)
some machine
stitching and some
extra rhinestones
from my stash
(in fact, it’s some
kind of fiber or lace
with the stones
attached to it)
And…. I got me some happy mail again this week!!
OH.MY – I LOVE happy mail! Take a look…
…at what my
friend Lena send
me. She bought
me a little book
to support me
and give me
confidence on
starting my
workshops.
The title says
“You can do it”
and it’s filled
with beautiful
quotes!
And see those images??? “Poezieplaatjes” again (can someone please
give me the English word for this?!) Seeing these, I might even consider
a Christmas layout!!!
And I finally
received this prize
from the kit club
“Green Tangerine”
I won it on a blog
in August, but
something went
wrong with the
mail… anyway,
they sent it now.
Some yummie goodies!!!
So while all you Dutch ladies are going to celebrate “Sinterklaas”
this weekend, I will be playing with my new toys without knocking
on doors and throwing “pepernoten”!!! (We don’t celebrate Sinterklaas
anymore, my son does though – at his fathers’ house – ’cause he has
a little (steph)brother and -sister over there…)
I wish you all a nice weekend, with or without “surprises” and presents,
and see you again soon!
Je t’embrasse!
