wall inspirations and so much more

Since I am in the process of painting, wallpapering and what not in my new flat I am going on a hiatus for a week or so. No internet connection in either one apartments during this time so posting will be scarce.
But that doesn't say a girl can dream about all the things she would like, right?

Well...a good and bad thing is that i love Pottery Barn. Fell in love with it when i lived in the States a few (read many) years ago. Whenever I go back for a visit (almost every year) I always end up in one of their stores and oh my oh my....bad thing if I had it near where I live, is that I would go bankrupt! Good thing it isn't near me! Ha...:)

Anyway I have been dreaming of what to do with my walls at the new place and here is some inspirations that I really like.

would love this, maybe in my office section in the bedroom...

gorgeous....a nice piece for my collection

and this too...

not so fond of the green bits but I like the idea.

Love this type of picture hanging. Clean neat and studio like.
Would love it in my entryway!

so like this display of vintage...

Will post when I am set up and organized.
If you are bored why not go and check out one of my recipes for some inspirations....:)

Until next time....

Wildchild #1 5th birthday

A few weeks a go we celebrated my nieces birthday...aka WildChild #1.

A festive day with lots of pink gifts and makeup.

My mom and WildChild #1 showing off their makeup....can say that all of it ended up later on WildChilds eyebrows. All glittery and all

Her birthday cake she decorated all by herself. All she ate....was the strawberries!

One of the gifts (from yourstruly) was a gigantic keybord which you can play with your feet. Even daddy and WildChild#2 had fun! The dog...not so much!

WildChild #2 literally had ants in his pants! Couldn't sit still for long, above photo is blurred but I do love it so much.

Goofying with his aunt and not letting me take a photo of them both.

By this recordplayer we sat most of the afternoon, WildChild#2 singing to the songs and serving me tea and biscuits!

Can't believe this little girl used to be this small:

Seriously...where did the 5 years go??!

She was a strong willed baby and to this day...Little Miss WildChild of ours!

Making cards-the easy way

Okay if you are like me, you probably never ever buy greetingcards but make them yourself! :)
And if you are like me you always make the greetingcards the very same day...right!

I know...it is quite sad but true!

BUT...it can be solved!

If you scrapbook or do some crafts you usually get some supplies over. At least I do.
This is my stash:

I keep mine in folders, at least the paper stash. One for solid colors and one for my pattern paper.
These are the folders that come out whenever my nieces or nephiews come over and demand to do some crafting. (like I am such a push over, wait...I am. Drats!)
Anywho, not that long ago I got a phonecall from my niece asking if she could come over and we ended up at the table doing some crafts.

This is where I got the idea. Why not use my stash of leftovers to create some greetingcards. (lightbulb came on here)

And here is what I did:

a few strips, flowers and a chipboard. A lovely birthday card

similar to above and just a chipboard.

a painted chipboard with crackle paint and a flower.
could be a birthday card, weddingcard, any occasion card

or if you have some beads lying around you could add a string.

Basically just take whatever you have on hand! Nice to know that you have a card lying around whenever you need it. :)

So go raid your stash and get on with it!
