A rainy day

Hi my friends.

It has been a rainy, gray day here in Oslo.

My car broke down last week and are still in "hospital". Don't know when it will be back.

Well, so we use this opportunity to really "get in shape" after a lazy summer.

Hubby riding his bike to his office 35 km each way,

me carrying all the grocerys for our 6 persons-family on my bike from the store 1,5 km away.

...

and the rain

...

Yes, this could have been a very bad day

...

but

I decided I didn't want it that way.

I wanted it to be a happy day.

SO

I used this rainy day to create a

3ndypapir-Epla shop

for my norwegian / scandinavian friends

So they easily can buy 3ndypapir papers for their craft-needs

:) :) :)
and more good news:

I created (re-created) a

3ndypapir-ETSY-shop

for my international friends.

:) :) :)

All this made me so happy and excited I just HAD TO create some fun little things.

This note-book idea had been in my mind for a while, and today was the perfect day for this to come true.

Besides I need a notebook before school starts to keep track of all the things I have to organize and remember.

Used 3ndypapir "søtt" and "sommerhilsen" (secret garden collection) for this project.

These little books will also make a cute gift for little girls. :)

I had some pictures of sol picking raspberries.
We had so much fun picking the berries and then make some raspberry jam for lunch the other day. Just needed to document this :)

Was totally inspired by Rondas august sketch contest over at Cocoa Daisy for this layout.
patterned paper-strips by 3ndypapir and hand chrocheted flowers from Etsy.

...

The weather lady tell us the sun will shine here in Oslo tomorrow.
Well, can't be better!
:)

sunny sunday

Happy sunday my friends.

The sun is shining here in Oslo today, and hubby find it perfect for a trip on the fjord with our old wooden boat.

I finally found some time for creating this weekend too. Love my papers, stamps and fabrics.

Yes, I really had a gret time playing with my Cosmo Cricket fabric too. These fabrics are SO cute - just needed to make some little pencil cases for my girls using the bright fun colors.

I was inspired by my wonderful friend Hanne to create these. :)

On this layout, made for this weeks color combo over at The Color Room, and on the layout above, I have used some of my favorite my Stamp BOX stamps.

My Stamp BOX have a DT call ending today - so hurry up and get your creations posted to Bettina!

mSB is a wonderful little stamp company, and I have SO enjoyed being a part of this team for three terms.

Now, off for a summery sunny boat-trip. LOVE summer!!

cupcakes :)

This morning the little chef in our household decided cupcakes would be the perfect lunch on this friday the 13th.

Well, It couldn't be any better. So she started off making the dough and cooking the cakes (almost all by herself) :)

Then we went to the grocery store to get the right ingrdients for decorating. Everything was well planned and she brought with her a little shopping list. Just too cute! :)
Then back home the real fun could start: Decorating!
And the cakes turned out so beautiful and cute.
And the best part:
Dad came home from his trip to UK just in time for tea and cupcakes.
Talking about a lucky day! :)

Cosmo Cricket love :) :)

Just wanted to share some Cosmo Cricket projects I have created this summer.

Needless to tell you how much I love Cosmo, and how lucky I am to be a part of this wonderful team! :) :)

My my heart made a happy jump when I found this on the blog earlier this month. Thank you Julie, Eric and Lindsay. :)
And happy belated birthday to Lindsay.
