Shopaholic is my middle name ;)

This weekend, there was the Art Specially Event in Zeist with loads of scrapbooking- and stampingshops. You could also follow loads of (free!!) workshops as well.
Went there for the first time and wow!!! It was soooooooooo amazingly cool to be there with shops having the items you really, really like and want!
Didn't follow any workshops, as I wanted to go to Paper & Pictures as well as they had their re-opening and wow.... what a great store!!

Anyways... here are the items I bought at the Art Specially Event. Will be there next year as well, but probably will go the whole weekend as there was so much to do and see. And wow...the organisation was just fabulous!! *hands up!*

Here are some stamps... Penny Black, HouseMouse, Flower Fairies and Imaginisce.
More stamps... Cut of the wings of the boy-stamp as I wanna use it for Holy Communion cards and just... well, didn't like the wings at all *blush*

Some papers... As well as for scrapbooking as making cards.

Some cutiepatootie Prima swirls, though I don't really am a "bling-bling"-girlie, but sometimes it's just the finishing touch to layouts.

Some rub-ons, tags and ribbon.

Magnolia also had a stand at the Event and wow.... just couldn't resist myself for buying some stamps. Already have been creating some Spring and Eastercards with them today. (like I don't have enough Magnolia-stamps already *lol*)

After the Event, I went to Paper & Pictures and my basket was filled with loads of great items real soon. Really love this shop and hope to come back again soon.

Some Imaginisce, Prima and Sassafrass papers...

Really love the monkey-papers!

Can't wait to scrap some zoo-pictures with these! Bought the frogpapers for some stamps I already have of Penny Black with frogs on it.

Some baubles (love those!!), buttons and loads more Prima flowers (though I "only" bought 3, got the 4th one free). Also some home deco to scrap.

Really love the new Paper & Pictures shop. It's warm, friendly, really beautiful with loads of greats items in it, as well as home deco as scrapbooking/cards ones.

By the way... this Thursday there will be an online crop at Creating Memorys. It would be great if we could meet overthere.

Photos of London

Yeah!!!

Finally I've been to London again. It's been too long!!
Really enjoyed being there and it felt like coming home again. Really enjoyed my time overthere and made some photos. Not that much, as I've been shopping quite a bit (it's really great buying a shirt for 28 pound, converted that's 31 euro's, while it costs 45 euro's overhere..hehe).
Did some pretty cool things.... let's see...

At Thursday night I was walking at Leicester Square when I heard loads of screaming girls. So I went to the cinema and there was a premiere night with Zac Afron (a star in High School Musical, never heard of him though.... but the girls overthere told me so). Here's the best shot of him I could get with having my camera over all the heads....
A visit to London should include Picadilly Circus as well.... Never had made a photo by night of it...

Went to Portobello Market on Saturday and it was great!! You've seen the movie "Notting Hill"?? Well... it's shot overthere as well.

Oh... been to a musical: Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat starring Gareth Gates. He's a cutie patootie **SMILE**

The last day, I was being a tourist, walking around Westminster and getting onto the Big Wheel. It was great. Been there once before, but then it was almost evening and now I had a great view over London by daylight. It was cool!!!

Here's the Big Wheel.... love it! (but I really didn't feel the need to look down..hehe)

My fave street during the days: Oxford Street.

Just really can't wait to get back to London again. Love this city so much!!

Had an appartment in Kensington, near Harrods and the museums and loved it! Also near a tubestation which brought me to the center and Heathrow.

Wow... it was just too long ago (5 years) while being here again.

A while back, when my internetconnection didn't work, I was tagged by Angelique.
Had to pick the 6th photo of my 6th photomap.
So here it is...
It's a photo made in Amsterdam, during my photocourse back in 2007.
Really love this one!
The shadow of the tree on the house.

Now I have to tag 6 other people, but I think everyone has been tagged. But if you haven't, please feel free ;)

I've also received an award from Nicolet. Thanks girl!!
There are so many blogs out there I love to read and makes my heart smile, I'd like to give this award to you all!!!

Well... gotta go...
Have some scrapping and cardmaking to do. Haven't done it since a long, way too long time for me.
So wait for an update with material soon :)

Cleaning my fridge...

And look what I found in there after being in the livingroom for a few minutes *LOL*
Yes, it's my sweetie Gizmo :)
Luckily for me I had to clean the fridge, so it was not really a big problem..

She's a really COOL cat **LOL**

Online, but somehow offline...

That's because I have a terrible flu and cold since Wednesday, the day my internet has been made.
Feeling really tired, can't do anything because of this and used more than 100 tissues..hehe...
Have to get better first and have to get stronger first. It all asks a lot of energy of me, even getting out of bed.
So sorry... but I'll be offline the coming days as well...

Back in business :)

Yeah...
Internet has just been made!!
It was ok living without it though, could finally do a lot of other things instead of surfing the net :)
As I was offline for about 3 weeks, have a lot of catching up to do ;)

Out of internet...

Unfortunately my internetconnection at home doesn't work.
So please be patient if you send me an email etc...
Hopefully it will be solved quickly..

I've also been tagged by Angelique, but as I don't have internet at home, I can't play at this time... will do it if I have internet again...
