Autumn is here...

Hello everybody! Today was a good one, the fall holiday has started here. Ralph and I spent this beautiful and warm autumn day outside. We drove to the Hoge Veluwe, a national park and cycled around in this national park. They have what is called a "white bicycle project", there are white bikes everywhere without a lock. You just pick up a bike and drive away on it. When you reach your destination, you park your bike so other people can ride it too. It is a fun system!! It was a gorgeous fall day today, with bright warm sun and the warm autumn colors. I just love this season, it reminds me of my dear grandfather, I just love the smell of fall, the leaves and the wood! We bicycled for 10 kilometers and visited the Kruller Muller museum and garden with statues, it was just beautiful.
Especially for all you scrapsters :D













Then we cycled 10 kilometers back. This is just huge for me, ask people who know me very well! I just hate physical activities :0 so this is pretty extraordinary for me.
What is also extraordianary is that I lost 7 kg! I feel very good about it, and it makes such a difference! I bought some new clothes and can fit into 1 and sometimes 2sizes smaller! I am really happy about it, now I have to keep it that way :D
And some more good news: last week my dear friend and collegue Marije gave birth to a healty litle boy called Simon (3160 grams). They are doing okay and I hope I can see them soon.
Lat but not least, the new dutch dare is online on the Memory lane scrapbooking blog. It is all about scraplifting your favorite dutch scrapster! That is not difficult for me :D
I scraplifted a LO from the wonderful talented Birgit! Just love her work and love the way my LO turned out!! On this LO called painted ponies you can see my sister and her cute son Mexx, they are on the merry go round at the fair. It was the first time ever for Mexx, but he didn't like it that much because the music was too loud. When I saw his granny a few weeks later, she told me that his dad and his uncle also didn't like the fair, because the music was too loud!! hihi, it must be the genes!!
Have a beautiful sunday and see you soon!
