RANDOM SATURDAY + WINNERS

I had some fun with Alara baking these Dr. Oetker (LOL) cupcakes... I truly need to know how to make those CREAMY YUMMY AMERICAN ICINGS *sigh*I noticed that I don't share any pictures of my baby's. I'm proud to be their mother and I love them soooooo much.
Dilara is playing with my bubble wrap here...

Sneaky peaky messy scraptable (it's clean now though)
I totally forgot to show you this. Remember that I was in ede 2 weeks ago? Here's the result of a make and take I took there. We played with stamps en paint... I'm getting more and more interested in stamping. So I bought some amazing paperarsty stamps...

Some random facts:

- I'm going to start participating with the AAE challenges. I finished my page for the next challenge that will be up on monday november 11th. You all need to do that challenge. It's so cool and we will have a very talented, and very sweet guest designer. I will let you know when it's up.

- I had a phone call today with Ine from scrap-i-do.nl. I will be teaching an Prima paintables class next month. Yay, I love those paintables. I will keep you updated about this.

- Tomorrow I have a scrapday with Dorenda (the owner of scrappendoejezo.nl) in ede. I think it will be a lot of fun... Will show you pics tomorrow.

- I FOUND THE MOST AMAZING AGENDA. At least it looks amazing to me LOL. Will show you a pic tomorrow... I'm so happy with it..

I decided to post more on my blog. Lately I have been so busy that I couldn't find the time or the energy to update. So when I want to post something then I have so much to share that it's not fun anymore.

Yesterday evening I cleaned my studio and I organized all my deadlines. Finally I found some peace. Now I can move forward and start doing my duties on time, for example my AAE challenges ;)

It looks like I don't scrap anymore but that's NOT true. I finished some projects for glitz, for CMF (magazine) and for All about eve. But I can't show them :(

You just need to have a little bit more patient. In the mean time I will blog some sneaks and ramble about my life and my plans.

Oh I almost forgot. These 6 ladies will get something handmade from me within 365 days. Remember girls. You should pay it forward on your blog.

And the lucky girls are (uhmm lucky??? LOL)

- I took another class with Jo-anne te RAA... An embellishment workshop in Ede (http://www.scrappendoejezo.nl/) Love that girl, love that shop, love the owner and LOVE THE WORKSHOPS over there... We made a really cool book with all sorts of embellishemnt ideas in it... Jo-anne learned us how to crochet. I always loved to crochet. I made a lot of things with it. But I never used it on my scrapbookpages. That will change for SURE... ;) Thanks Jo-anne for the amazing workshop... I can't wait to come to the Hambly workshop you will be teaching this month... ;)

The beautiful teacher Jo-anne
The designteam is workshopping too ;) Such a sweet woman... You see that little girl?? She was there with her mom... Scrapbooking.. Freaking amazing..
Dorenda... The supersweet owner... How can't you feel comforable over there??? ;)
Antoinette (she knows how to use the bind it all LOL)

- I had an APPOINTMENT with the owner of a scrapbookstore (http://www.scrap-i-do.nl/) They asked me to be their GUEST TEACHER. So I will be giving my very FIRST workshop there. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT??? I already prepared a class. And let me tell ya, I'm already in love with the project ;) I will post a sneak peak when 'we pick a date... It includes transparencies, chipboard, felt, buttons, PAINT... really cool album...

- I went to the magazine (http://www.creatiefmetfotos.nl/) And I GOT a lot of YUMMY stuff to play with... And a really exciting offer... GOSH, this is like a dream come true... I can't tell you anything YET... It will be revealed in the December ISSUE of the mag ;)

- My daughter started pre-school ( I think you call it like that or Kindergarten). She's sooooo excited to go there every tuesday and friday. So fun...



- My latest pages for scrapsupply.com... I will miss it... It was amazing working for you this past 3 months girls. thanks for everything...

BTW: our assignment was to create your own journalling spots...

And NOW i'm a guest designer for http://www.theembellishementstudio.com/ .... I got some really cool ribbons and stuff... I already created a layout.. Will show it to ya soon...

WINNER, PROJECT AND TAGGED PHEW...

Yes, this is REALLY A PROFESSIONAL Rak generator (like on the GLITZ BLOG LOL)... WOW there were so many comments... Thank you ALL SO MUCH.. LOVE YOU ALL AND I WISH I WAS RICH ENOUGH TO SEND YOU ALL GOODIES ... But remember I will do a lot more give-aways in the future ;)

You see all the comments cut in strips on my kitchen floor...

I'm fooling with it a little LOL... Mixing it all up...
And finally WE HAVE A WINNER... CONGRATS IRIS.. Email me your address: eminepala22@hotmail.com...


And here is my project that i was working on the last 2 days... It's an Urban LILY sugar cube... It was sooooooo CUTE.. but I think I messed it up LOL






What do you think??? I hope you like it BECAUSE I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT... You should see this in real life... I love the texture and the colors on this... It's so tiny AND AW SO AMAZING... I keep looking at it and touching it LOL... BTW: it fits so well with my Altered corkboard ... SEE it HERE ...

Alright I got tagged by my new friend JO

I need to post 7 random things about myself and then I got to tag 7 other people ;)

Here I go:

1... If someone comments on my blog I HAVE TO GO CHECK THEIRS OUT and leave some love at theirs... I really appreciate EVERY ONE WHO COMMENTS on my blog and I love to know you all better...

2. I can't stand people who think they are EVERYTHING.. UGHH... In the scrapworld it means PEOPLE who think that they are AW SO FABULOUS... And don't even take the time to say HI to you... (btw: I don't mean the real celebs, but more the once who are having LUCK just like me)... Even Kristina CONTES, MY IDOL, takes the time to reply to something... Eventhough she's so busy... I can imagine that sometimes you are tooo busy that you forget to reply or to visit someone's blog whatever.. But you know what I mean... It's just a feeling I get with some people... They can be wonderful persons BUT not someone who can be my best friend, ya know....

3. I smoke WAY TO MUCH

4. I don't trust MAN... I grew up with the thought that every man is a cheater.. i know that's NOT true.. But I still have this feeling...

5. When my girls are sleeping.. I sometimes sneak in their rooms and I cry... why?? Because I love them sooooooooooooooooooo much, I'm soooo happy to have them in my lives... And when they're sleeping I miss them SOOO MUCH... It may sound really weird...

6. I used to HATE the color ORANGE.. NOW I CAN"T LIVE WITHOUT IT LOL

7. I love books... It doesn't matter what size, what theme... I just love them... I don't have to read them... So you can guess where I want to be all day long... IN A LIBRARY...

I'm tagging:

1. LEE WOODSIDE

2. MICHELLE

3. IRIS

4. AIMEE

5. MALOU

6. NANCY

7. JEN HARRISON

I'm off to do some scrapping... LOVE TO YOU ALL...

xoxo
