hello again!

Again it's been a while...
But I found some time to scrap and got a lot of LO's done. Here they are:
Last Friday my mom, sister and me went shopping in Utrecht. We stopped at pippoos and there I found this cute patterned paper! Cool enough to make a double LO about our last trip to the zoo with little Mexx.
An impression of last december, as we celebrated the Xmas days with our family. It was beautiful, the outdoors!
Shopping with Mexx in november 2007, look how tiny Mexx was!
And our other nephew Thijs, 2 weeks old. Simply beautiful. Before I forget, this litte sweetheart turned 1 last weekend. He is growing so fast!
lots of love from me!

On expedition in Ikea...

Hello there, hope you have a good weekend!
We are still enjoying our sunday evening :) Last Thursday I visited the Burgers zoo together with my sister Karin and lovely nephew Mexx! The zoo was really cool and Mexx had so much fun! Although it was cold and snowing, we had a great day together. Here is a little impression, especially for my sis :)


An impression of the bush, this is my favorite part of the zoo! And the three of us together, I don't think Mexx got the idea of "say cheese" ;)



Mexx and my sister, enjoying the desert and ocean. Mexx just loved all those fishes swimming by, with bright colors! He was reaching out, to see if he could touch them. So sweet.


And some sisterly love on camera :) after all this action, Mexx just fell asleep, so time to go home after a really nice day together, thanks sis!
Friday I had a day off and went to the Ikea with Ralph.It really turned out to be an expedition! It was full of people (vacation time, sigh), packed with little children and we couldn't even figure out how to walk through the store in the most efficient way... Finally we found what we were looking for, a sideboard, two night tables and a beautiful canvas painting. We went straight to the expedition, but couldn't find the kind of closet we were looking for :( An Ikea employee was really surprised that we didn't know the way Ikea worked and we were sent back to the "sideboard department". Ralph went, but came straight back, he couldn't find the route back anymore! So we searched together and finally found the right department where we were half an hour before :( We took notice of the correct expedition numbers and gave it another try... Pfjoe... I don't think Ikea and we are meant to be :) But we managed, put everything in our car and yesterday my parents in law came to visit us. So Ralph and his dad have put everything together. I just love the way it turned out. You can see it here, although the pictures are dark due to the bad weather.

Special thanks to my parents in law! I am closing this post with some scrapbooking, wanted to show yo this double LO: Camping life, a LO about us spending a week at the campsite during the christmas days. We had a great time, visited a lot of family and friends and relaxed together with Gizmo. In case you are wondering, Ralph wasn't so interested in getting in the picture, but he sure was there with us hihi. Love, Judith

OLW # 45 Fun

Hi there, just saw the word over at OLW: FUN. I immediately knew which picture was perfect to go with this word and created right away :) Thijs and me having fun and laughing at the birthday of his grandmother! He is a sweetie.
Last weekend was also full of fun! We had a little get-together with our friends and two other women we met on our Tanzania trip. It was so much fun to see each other again, exchange travel stories and we visited a little town here in the neighbourhood, were we went on a roundtrip and had some drinks in a medieval restaurant. After that we had a delicous dinner and really enjoyed ourselves! We laughed all evening.




And last but not least, in the beginning of january there was a lot of snow here in the netherlands. On a beautiful friday morning, I took a walk through our sunny neighbourhood and took some gorgeous pictures! Here is a double LO featuring those pictures :)
love from me!

I'm on the roll

2 posts, in 1 week :)
I found some time last week to scrap again. After I got some cute pictures of my nephews in the mail, I couldn't resist and scrapped them right away :)Here is the result:
Such 2 sweethearts, my SIS irl and her little cutie son, Mexx! This one is scraplift from the talented Revlie. I even scraplifted the title :)
And a LO about our other nephew, Thijs, such a sweetie! I thought pumpkin is another word for that (hopefully I am right ;)
These pictures came last week in the mail, from the sister of Ralph, love them!
A double LO about our "surprise" night, last december. We had so much fun, especially the game "what am I?" ;)
A double LO with our 2 nephews together! They visited us with their mums and dads on the second of january, it was so cool to see them together and react on each other. I wrote about what it means to us the be their uncle and auntie!
This upcoming weekend we are having a little "Tanzania-trip-reunion"! Can't wait to see everybody tomorrow and have a fun weekend together. So, now I am off to get all our groceries! See you soon, love Judith

Hi again...

Hello there, it's been a while since the last time I blogged... Sorry about that. Been busy with everything and nothing, as we say here in the netherlands :)
I will just start over, a new beginning on the first day of february 2009.
Today was a fun sunday! I went over to the "scrap-clubhome" of Nora, Marije, Jeanetand Tammie. We had such a blast! Thanks girlz for a wonderful day full of laughter AND lots of scrapping! I had fun! You can see the five of us together and I'll show you the LO's I finished.


a double LO about a day trip last october, when Ralph and I visited a national park called Hoge Veluwe. Such a beautiful, warm fall day, love those days and trips :)

The picture of this LO isn't that good, but I bet you can see that Thijs is cute, isn't he? Such a sweetie (this was last sunday)!

Our sweet little Mexx, last summer on the playground together with his mum and dad! Just love the picture where you can see him crawling :) Love these 2 little fellows to pieces!

And another double LO, from 2 weeks ago, our annual family trip to the bowling alley!! We had such much fun, we laughed untill we cried!
Thanks for reading and love from me and especially for the ladies of today in the scrapclubhome: this one is for you ;) Judith viva, viva...

It is winter...

It's been a while since the last time I blogged. We had a quiet weekend, Roel, Inge and Thijs were suppose to visit us. But they had to cancel, due to the bad weather. And they made the right decision, cause right now it is snowing here in Holland!
I stayed inside and started scrapping this sunday, a lazy day :D
Made a double LO for the OLW blog. The word is energy and I created this:

Golden energy, visiting the golden temple in Vientiane, at our summer holiday in Laos. It was simply beautiful!
Then I created a LO based on the sketch over at the
memorylane scrapbooking blog It is a LO about me and one of my best friends Esther, visiting the Krea Doe last november together! The other girls couldn't join us (unfortunately) but we had a lot of fun!

And last but not least, created a LO about our nephew Thijs, on holiday together with his mummy and daddy, last september. Just love this 3bugsinarug paper :D

That's it for today, now I am off to update my SIS site, love to you!

so much to do and so little time :)

Today, I have some time to update my blog. Last week, I had so much fun! I worked, but also spent some time with dear friends. First of all I went to the krea doe in Utrecht together with my friend Esther. We had so much fun and all those scrapgoodies looked yummie! The day went by much too fast and in the evening we had diner together. After that we both returned home by train (in different directions) and I missed my connecting train, so I was home at 11o'clock in the evening... But it was still a very good day :)
Last Friday, my friend Marije came by with her baby boy Simon (one month old), he is really a sweetie. It was so good to see her again and talking about everything and holding Simon. That afternoon, I drove for an hour to meet with 2 of my former collegues and we had lunch together! We see each other 2 to 3 times a year, but it is always so much fun. We had a delicous lunch and a great afternoon. Saturday we drove to Limburg, to see our families. We had a lot planned, but it turned to be a good and fun weekend. Saturday we met my SISter, BIL and Mexx at at childrens playground called Pee Wee. Mexx was enjoying every minute and so were we! Ralph and my sister even ended up in the "ballen bak" together with Mexx! It was only afterwards that we saw the sign: only for 12 years and younger! :D
Here are some pics:




On Sunday, we celebrated the birthday of the mother of Ralph. I made a digital photoalbum as a present about our trip to South Africa. My first digital album and they really liked it! You can see it here:




And Thijs was also there, such a cutie :D


And some more good news, my documenting a week LO's are featuring on the blog of the talented Ali, that means Gizmo is on the net ;) and my Imagine LO made it into the faves of OLW!
That are a lot of pictures already... will leave you with two LO's about my SISter and me, i think the pictures speak for themselves :D



See you!
