The weather forecast was right… it’s beautiful sunny weather here in
the Netherlands! It lightens my mood… but that’s not all!
I’m almost done with all the “musts” – I think I need another week
of hard work and then I can breath a little more AND visit all your blogs!!!
I also have some plans this Summer – and thát lightens my mood too!!!
(I tell you more in this post so keep reading…)
Because of the nice weather and because I love These are a few of my
favorite things (they celebrate their one year anniversary!!!) I took some
“me-time” and created a layout for the challenge:
What are your favorite shoes?
..
Yep, you read it right – Orange boots!!!
(and no, that’s not because off the football team playing at the
world soccer games in Africa… 😉 )
Here’s the layout
Now aren’t those super boots?
I have them for 14 years now and although I don’t wear them often –
I still LOVE my orange boots!!!
I used Sassafras paper for the background.
The alphas come from my stash and I really don’t know the brand anymore
(I took the package off long ago..)
I outlined the photo and wrote the text at the top with puffy paint.
The text says: “I feel like superwoman when I wear my…”
The text is
readable in
real life, but
it’s hard to
get it right
on the photo.
The dimension
is difficult
to see either
(even on this
detail photo.)

What are your plans for this Summer?
I know, most people love to go on vacation so a lot of you won’t be at home…
but I’m not fond of vacation – when it comes to “stay somewhere else.”
I mean, I have nice little garden with a comfy chair, I love my living room with
the big table where I can create, I have a refrigerator with a nice cold bottle of
white wine, I can play the music I like ’cause it’s right here and my bed is the
best place to sleep! So why go somewhere else to sleep on the floor in a tent?
To sit in the grass or on a wobbly chair and hear loud music you don’t like
coming from the campers next to you (or worse, stay in a hotel room with thin
walls so you can find out how others make love.. eeeck!)
I will be right at home this Summer (maybe go to Zeeland for a few days to
visit mom and dad but that’s it) and since I know YOU won’t be around
because YOU will sit on the grass getting stiff in some other country, I will
spend my time to write a new workshop and to re-style my website (and
maybe my weblog too). The website will be available in English AND Dutch
after the Summer (since most of the workshops are in Dutch too, and that
wasn’t always clear to the Dutch readers… )
There won’t be any workshops this Summer, but in September “Let it Loose”
will start again (you can pre-registrate by sending me an e-mail, I put you
on the list then and send you a reminder in September, but since the exchange
rate (Euro – USD) is dramatically low at the moment it might be a good idea
to registrate right now if you want to take this workshop)
A new workshop will start at the end of October, but since the making is in
a very early stage, I can’t tell you anything about it yet.
And there are some other plans dancing in my head – just thoughts that
might lead to something. I’ll think it all over and maybe work on that too
in the next months.
..
For now, I’m gonna put my chair in the garden and enjoy the sunshine.
I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!
Je t’embrasse!
