We had a lovely birthday weekend! Marlijn got spoiled terrible and she loved it :) Yesterday she had a little party for her school friends and had a great time! Unfortunatly my camera was acting a little weird (found out later that the button was somewhere between manual and autofocus) so i didn't get much good pictures :(


But here's one of the decorated cup cakes the kids made yesterday:






These LO's were in Scrapfun last month. The first one is a picture of Marlijn and her cousin Tim, having a blast in Duinrell when my parents were married 40 years last june. The second one is my little niece Guusje, only 18 months old, climbing our garden fence like she's a little monkey, lol! Such a little rebel :)






My "Believe"LO made it to the slide show on OLW! I feel honored to see myself between all those awesome LO's!!! The new word up this week is `Delight`! I´m sure gonna join in again, this is so much fun!

We have 22 participants for the Secret Santa Swap so far! So a lot of X-mas excitement is guaranteed!! But there's still room for a few more. You can sign up until tomorrow by clicking the Secret Santa blinkie on the right! Don't miss out on the fun and join the party! :)


Have a nice day!

Photo shoots and LO's

Last week I went over to my friend Anita's house to have a photoshoot. I brought all kinds of clothes and was not sure what to expect. At first I felt a little uncomfortable smiling when I was asked to, but after a while it went better and I really enjoyed it! We had fun! Did some out door and some studio shots and some really nice photo's came out. I think Anita really has a feel for catching the real personality of people. I'm very, very happy with the results.

Here are my favourite ones!

This week Anita came over to my house to do a shoot with my little girl Marlijn and some other kids. And I learned how hard it is to make good pictures of little kids that are not always as cooperative as we would want and very busy and moving around all the time :) Still Anita managed to make some very nice pictures! Here are a few of them:

Today I took my oldest daughter Anne over to Anita for her birthday party... right... a photoshoot. Together with her 4 best friends, loads of clothes, drinks and food. First we went outside for some group shots. The wheather was so nice today and we went to the playground. The girls did complain though when they had to ly down in the wet grass... lol! But they did what they were asked!

Then we went inside for some studio shots of all of the girls seperate. They had a lot of fun, were a little insecure and are very curious now to see the results.... and I can understand. I'm very curious too! But I know the pictures will be great!!

So far for photo shoots.

It's been a while since I was able to show some of my work. Some of you will have noticed a new magazine has come out, called scrapfun!

I heard it was available at craft shops and supermarkets. It was also at my local supermarket but I didn't see it there because it was sold out the second day!! Hope that's a good sign! :) I was one of the contributers with several LO's in there. Here are two of them. If you want to see more you'll have to try to get you hands on an issue of scrapfun!

BTW, you can still leave a message with a link to your favourite website/blog regarding inspiration and win a RAK (see my last post). You gave me some really nice ones already! Thanks so far!

That's it for today, have a nice week!
