\u2665\u2665\u2665 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!!\u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u2665\u2665<\/span><\/h3>\n

The days fly by and this week is already gone!
\nI’ve been a little absent last week. On my blog that is…
\nNot on my community though!\u00a0This week, my “students” got access to
\nmy\u00a0workshop community and there\u00a0is a lot of activity overthere\u00a0
\n(although the first lesson won’t be uploaded ’till Monday)
\nI was present on\u00a0an introduction video which I made last week and it took
\nme quite some time to make it.\u00a0OH MY was I nervous! I HATE hearing my
\nown voice… I had to\u00a0shoot 80 “takes” before I thought it was “kinda” right,
\nbut at least I did it, and the ladies in the group seem to appreciate it!
\n(Hi girls! Thanks for the nice words!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, on to the freewheelin’ random stuff today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you noticed at the beginning of this\u00a0blogpost, it’s my dad’s birthday today!
\nI\u00a0won’t tell you his age – but if you look\u00a0carefully at what I\u00a0made for him,
\nyou’ll figure it out \ud83d\ude42 – and I send him this handmade\u00a0folded “mini book”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHere’s the front
\nand back.<\/p>\n

The title says
\n“H\u00f3w old?”<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This mini is made using a special folding technique.
\nIt’s not very simple to make but once it’s finished, it’s\u00a0amazing how it
\nlooks when you open it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On this side, I did a lot of doodling and wrote all kinds of quotes about
\ngetting old(er). The little envelope contains a small note.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nFrom aside you can see how
\nit folds…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The other side… “Henk Hooray” and again a lot of doodling.
\nI wanted it to be a happy book!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI used chipboard,
\npaint, journaling
\npens, Cosmo
\nCricket\u00a0alpha’s,
\nOctober Afternoon
\npaper, some
\nSassafras
\nembellies and left
\nover stickers.
\nThe lady on the
\nfront is cut out of a magazine.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since this is a happy book – and a happy day – let’s keep this theme
\nrollin’ shall we…<\/p>\n

Random happiness\u00a0I came across last week:<\/strong><\/p>\n
