My boy is far, far away…<\/p>\n

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

“He’s going to wake up in the city that never sleeps….”<\/p>\n

Yep, that’s right.
\nMy son is in New York.
\nHe will travel to San Francisco.
\nWith his dad, stepmom, little brother and sister.
\nIn a car.
\nThat will take seven weeks.
\n(SEVEN!!!!)<\/p>\n

He’s gone for one week now.
\nSix more to go…<\/p>\n

Thank God there’s e-mail!
\nAnd laptops
\n(GOODMORNING MY DEAR!
\nTHANKS FOR THE PHOTOS!
\nMISS YA!
\nBIG HUG FROM MUM!)<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

I have a new dentist.
\nHe pulled out my wisdom tooth yesterday.
\nWhen I came home, I couldn’t close my left eye anymore.
\nHe’d been a little over-enthusiastic with the anaesthesia.
\nHalf my face was paralyzed.
\nI had to close my eye with my hand every few minutes
\nbecause my eye didn’t blink on it’s own.
\nIt scared the shit out of me!
\nIt took over 4 hours to get the feeling in my face back.
\nI’m seriously thinking about changing dentists again.
\n(Yes, again. Long story.)<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

Hope today will be a better day.
\nLet us move to something nice to start with!<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

The new challenge at Scrapping the Music<\/a> is up!
\n(Did you know I’m a guest designer there this month?!)
\nThe featured song this week is “Santa Cruz” by Pearl Jam.
\nIt has such beautiful lyrics… as a “sea girl” living far away from the beach
\nthese words came right in!<\/p>\n

Here’s my layout.<\/p>\n

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

There’s torn pages from an old book in the background and a lot of water colour paint and gesso and spray ink and more paint and more water…<\/p>\n

Sounds like a messy project huh?
\nYes, it was messy but I had a blast playing with it in the garden.
\nI just kept on pouring water and adding ink and paint.
\nFun, fun, fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAlthough it isn’t
\nme on this photo,
\nI looked like this
\nwhen I was a young girl.<\/p>\n

There was
\na story in
\nthe book
\ncalled
\n“the little
\nsea maid”
\nand I used
\nthat page as
\na background
\nfor the
\nphoto transfer.
\nIt came out just
\nthe way I’d hoped!<\/p>\n

I get nostalgic when I look at this layout!
\nIt’s been too long since I walked along the beach.
\nFelt the sand between my toes.
\nHeard the waves, smelled the salty air…<\/p>\n

It’s time to visit my homeland soon!<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

I have a few half-done layouts laying around.
\nI wanted to finish those yesterday, but didn’t.
\nWith that dentist disaster and all…<\/p>\n

Hope to finish some in the next days and show you next week.
\nEnjoy your weekend! (Brush your teeth! Stay away from dentists!)<\/p>\n

Je t’embrasse.<\/p>\n
