Rwanda

In october 2012 I go to Rwanda with 10 other women of our church!!!

I am realy looking forward to it…

Here you can find more about that trip.

To be sure to have enough money to make this trip I created a webshop.

Everything I sell out of the shop will be used for the project in Rwanda( my trip, the money we use there to support women and all that stuff) So help me to rase that money and SHOP!!! There are really nice things in the shop…second hand, handmade and sometimes new!!!

Hope You will join me in this project!!

a lot to share

There’s a lot to share at this day… We had some tubulent weeks in the past. My husbands grandmother died 2 weeks ago. She was ill, but it had impact! We are blessed that we know she’s in heaven. She was such a witness of Christ!! even in her last hours!!!!  That’s a comfort for us…

 My own grandmother turned 80 years and we had a surprise party for her!!! Awesome!!! My mom made some coasters with pictures of her on it… When she was 7 years, now and when she was about 18 years old…

Fien turned 6!!! here some pictures of her b’day… Her present was a doll theater!

This was her treat for her class…cupcakes with marshmellowfondant hearts on it and Kawaii style pencills with on top a eraser on it.

Tutorial owl wreath

I made this wreath for my sisters wedding.
The owls are made with the tutorial from B.D. Designs
I created two owls in marriage style using my husbands old colbert and my old white blouse for the wedding dress…
Than I used flower stapels to attach the owls on the straw-wreath.
I used lavender to this wreath and lavender colored ribbon. I hot glued the printed text that I first cut out and made some sherpes from… The rounding edges will do when you take a pencil and roll it up..
I used a laserprinter and photo paper. Its nice and glacy…stiff enough for this job…
Put some flowers on with hotglue and… Finished!
It took me about a little hour to make this.

My handcarved stamp collection grows and grows…

I realy love to carve stamps out of gum.
For my B’day I got this real nice carving set from Abig

These I made yesterday night when I was watching Lewis on TV.

And this is my big stash now… Not all are in because I gave away some…
But these are in my little suitcase…

I am hosting a handcarved stamp swap on Dutch swappers on swapbot.cpm
It’s only a national swap…sorry…
A great tutorial about how to carve stamps you can find HERE
