As we had a holiday last Thursday and a day off Friday I had a lot of time to do things...
Really enjoyed myself playing with the things I love to do...

Made a card with a sketch. Came on that site yesterday, can't remember it, but I'd like to give credit if it was yours... thanks!

Scrapgoodies!!

Today I went with my mother to a craftsfair nearby.
Bought some lovely papers, 2 punches (and one of them I can use for some Stampin'Up stamps I received last week..yeah!!), rub-ons (really, and I mean really cheap!!), flowers, Prima Swirls, Magnolia stamp, Prima flowers and some other stamps....
Also bought the Allissa-line of Bo Bunny... already bought those papers, but already used them a lot for cards, so this is the first line I bought twice as I needed a bit more *lol*... love it!!


Yesterday evening I had an online crop and working with a skech is what I just love.

nieuwsbrief Creating Memorys

Hi Nederlandse dames (en misschien heer??)
Hierbij de nieuwsbrief van mei van Creating Memorys...


Hallo Allemaal

En toen was het alweer Mei ondertussen is het hier in deze regio meivakantie en we zitten in de laatste week, ondanks dat het regelmatig wat minder mooi weer is zijn er toch ook een paar mooie dagen tussen door geweest.
Zo hebben we natuurlijk allemaal 30 April mee gemaakt wat ben ik en en denk vele met mij daar ontzettend van geschrokken nu na een aantal dagen gaat het gewone leven weer door en zullen we het met zijn allen een plekje moeten gaan geven, Gisteren de dodenherdenking en de 2 minuten stilte en vandaag bevrijdingsdag, En daarmee is het even een week of 2 even rustig.

Hopelijk gaat dalijk het mooie weer eindelijk eens langdurig losbarsten en daarmee alvast de aanzet voor de nieuwe wedstijd.
De nieuwe wedstrijd voor de maand Mei is: Maak een mooie fleurige lente LO, gebruik wel lieve frisse vrolijke kleurtjes. Ook hier geldt weer minimaal 3 inzendingen anders gaat de wedstrijd helaas niet door. Je kan je inzending tot 25 mei en 30 mei is de uitslag.

Dan nieuws over de winkel er zijn diverse nieuwe artikelen bij geplaatst die kunt u weer vinden onder het kopje nieuw deze week zal er nog het een en ander aan toegevoegd gaan worden.

Ook was de eerste meeting van het forum een feit op zondag 3 mei zijn we met een paar meiden bij elkaar gekomen en heben we heerlijk zitten scrappen en beppen, Renske van het DT had een leuke workshop gepland en die was zeker de moeite waard, er zijn alweer plannen voor een volgende meeting en ik hoop dan dat iedereen en meerdere van het forum aanwezig zullen zijn.

en dan nog even het forum ondertussen hebben een paar andere meiden zich weer aangemeld en kletsen lekker mee, helemaal gezellig meiden, ook zijn er weer nieuwe ideeen om te gaan doen op het forum.
Elke maand plaats Laura een kaart en een scrapsketch en organiseert Angélique elke 2 weken een gezellige online crop en diverse andere leuke dingen maar er kan ook heel serieus gepraat worden gewoon een leuk en gezellig forum.

Ook sta ik 22-23-24 mei weer op de creabeurs in Rijswijk

This is why I scrap...

Yesterday-evening and today was saying goodbye to my grandmother.
It was so lovely and it felt good. Just like I wrote before, no more pain, no more sorrow.
She will be missed, but it's ok, she had a beautifull life with loads of painfull and joyfull memories and seeing someone in so much pain... it was her time to say goodbye and be with her beloved ones on the other side.

Today, in the morning, the sun was shining really good, but just after noon it came colder and windier.
But when my grandmother arrived at church the sun was coming through the clouds, shining heavier than before and hasn't stopped shining since.
It was so beautifull and felt so warm inside.

And why I called this blogentry "This is why I scrap"??
The family had a photo of grandma, but an aunt didn't like it and said I had made a better, one that really captured grandma like she was. So she told her son to find it at the computer and when it was found, she was sending it to the others telling that this photo was better, more grandma.
And yesterday my father told me that photo was on her coffin.
Never thought a photograph could be so meaningfull for people, except me, who took that one.
And that's why I scrap... not only for myself, but also for others to remember, cherish the beautifull (and sadfull) moments in life. Just the little things that life makes so beautifull.
And we were talking about it after the funeral and there were so many people who agreed, but never thought of that before. Just the little things....
People thought I was crazy to take photos of the most weird (in their eyes) things, like things around your house, photos of clothes, etc. etc. Capture things in their reality, the little things that makes life so beautifull. But now they know better... why I do it and hopefully it opened a few eyes to cherish the simple, little things...

And that's why I scrap....
