babyalbum

Yeah the weekend has started. I have a busy day ahead tomorrow. First thing in the morning is training, in the afternoon a birtday and in the evening eating in a restaurant together with a friend. It's been a long time that I did that, so I'm looking forward to it.

Last christmas I joined a secret santa swap and I received the most precious babyalbum made by Petra, I filled it with photo's of the first weeks of Tristan's life. Did that already a few months ago and I don't know why it took me so long to share it here.

So here it is finally :D

























For the record, the album was made by Petra and I filled it up.
Thanks again Petra, I really cherish it!!

The canvas for my parents is almost ready, after that I really want to do some scrapping. I received the july scrap-club kit, I think 2 weeks ago and haven't even touch it...

Have a nice weekend

Spread

Weekend is almost over, time flies as usual.
I promised to show my latest LO, a spread about some facts of Tristan at 4 months. I tried to keep it simple this time, I just love this elegant paper by Sassafras. The photo's are of Tristan bathing in a bucket, so sweet. Oh and I almost forgot, fashionista Lisa Garay put it on the catwalk at SIStv, woohoo :D


The seperate pages:


Some detailpictures:



Tristan is already 5 months old now, talking about time flying. He is starting to move a little, not yet turning on his tummy. He can reach for a toy or something and hold it with 2 hands. Also kicks with his feet to the toys.

I'm starting with medical training now, to get stronger and control the pain I have (not all the time, but when I walk a lot for instance). After the first training I had a lot of muscle aches and also pain in my lower back. But I'm hoping it will get better.

I didn't do a lot of scrapping lately. But I am busy with a canvas for my parents to hang in their home in France (they just bought a 2nd house in the north of france, they still have to do a lot of work on the house, redecoration and building). The canvas is so they don't forget us :) I will show the project when I'm finished.
This august we are going to visit them there, I have seen a lot of pictures but I'm still very curious.

Not much to say right now, till next time. If you are visting I love it when you leave a comment!!

Beach

Today we have been to Scheveningen, to the beach. It was very windy, lots of sand blowing in the face. But is was warm and we like the beach. We made lots of pictures. Camiel wanted to go in the water, normally he is not really a hero. So I let him run in his undies and he really enjoyed it. And I enjoyed watching it and of course taking pictures ;)



Camiel and me, here you can see how windy it was.


Yesterday I took some pictures of Tristan enjoying his bucket bath. He puts his feet up, so funny.


Camiel always wants to watch and Tristan is always smiling when he sees Camiel. My hearts melts everytime when I see how they interact.


And at last a LO I realised I didn't show on my blog, I was really satisfied with it.

Title is note to myself, I used the scrap-club may sketch (made by Petra, I was happy to use my square punch ;) and combined it with the OLW challenge of a few weeks ago (think). Journaling: While thinking about it enjoy life more. Also did some therapeutic hidden jounaling ;) The sewing was also kind of therapeutic ;) I don't own a sewing machine, so I did it by hand. And I can officialy say that is a LOT of work... But I like the effect.



Details:


Last week I made a new LO, I show you next time, I need to edit the pictures. It a spread something I don't do very often. I am really satisfied, so are you curious now you ;)

I off to feed the little one his last bottle of today and than finally get some rest, tomorrow 6 o'clock my alarm goes off, bzzz. Really hard work getting 2 little boys to daycare and myself to work. ;)

Hugs Astrid

almost time

Yes almost time for the game Holland-Roemenie (EK soccer). Ok this is not really an important game because we already know we are in the quarter finals, but still I like to watch.

I wanted to show my latest LO with some pink paislee paper (love this brand!). I use also a nice colr of tissuepaper, maskingtape, paint, lace, rhinestones (on the tree) nailheads (papier valise), prima flower, metal thingie (also papier valise, love that site).

I love this picture of Camiel, he is 3,5 years old now, so I wanted to write down some facts about him now. What he can do, likes to do and that he has no pacifier anymore, finally! :




And some details:

It's starting now, so bye

time to catch up

So what can I say, lots of things going on here. I survived my birthday, well I didn't have a wild party actually ;)

Last weekend my parents were married for 40 years (and that is a lot... don't you think) To celebrate that we went away for the weekend to Texel (a little island in the north of Holland) together with my sister, my little family and my parents of course. The weather could have been better, but we really enjoyed it. I love the beaches on the 'waddeneilanden'. We did some sight seeing, eating out, biking, with Tristan in a little cart behind the bike. It was hard working with that cart behind the bike, so I was told ;)

It was really nice being together with my family

We also went to Ecomare to watch the feeding of the seals.

Here is a recent picture of Tristan, 3,5 months already and he is getting big, more than 64 cm already. He is really easy going, he lets you know when he wants to eat! You can't deny that ;) But further more he is easy and happy, smiling a lot, he is doing fine at daycare.

Let me show my lastest LO's:

And there are more that I didn't show, I'll wait with that for the next post.

Have a nice weekend!

Hugs Astrid

Ja vandaag weer een jaartje er bij, de 40 begint nu toch echt wel erg dicht in de buurt te komen.
Het is lang geleden sinds mijn laatste post, zoals ik al voorspelde. Het is erg druk om weer te werken en met 2 kids. Ik heb wel wat gescrapt, dat kan ik toch niet laten ;)
Ben nu op mijn werk dus geen mogelijkheid om foto's te posten, dus dit wordt een kaal berichtje.
Vanmiddag neem ik lekker vrij, veels te mooi weer om op je verjaardag te werken.

Prettig zonnig weekend allemaal!

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me :oD

OK another year that I can add, 40 is coming very close by now...
Like I predicted it's been a while since my last post. Very busy and 2 little kids. But I did some scrapping, I have to make some time for that ;).
I'm at work now so no photo to post, very borring I know.
This afternoon I free of work, the weather is to nice to work on your birtday.

Have a nice sunny weekend!

update

Het is al weer even geleden, het is toch moeilijk om regelmatig een blog bij te houden vind ik. En dan ben ik nu nog thuis, maandag ga ik weer werken dan zal het helemaal lastig worden. Ik ben bang dat tijd mijn grootste vijand wordt dan. Ik zie er wel een beetje tegen op om weer in het ritme te komen, ik ben ook nog niet echt goed hersteld van de zwangerschap, ik heb voor morgen toch maar eens een afspraak met de huisarts gemaakt.

It's been a while since I updated my blog. It's hard to keep up I think. And next monday 'm starting working again. I guess time is gonna be my biggest enemy. I''m not yet looking forward to start again, I'm also not really recovered from the pregnancy, I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow.


Leuk nieuws over de blessed LO die ik voor de OLW challenge had gemaakt (zie vorige post), hij staat in slideshow, joepie! Petra maakte mij er attent op, ik had het zelf nog niet gezien. Ik denk dat ik met het volgende woord ook mee ga doen, ik voel een verslaving opkomen ;)

Nice news about de Blessed Lo I made for the OLW challenge (see last post), they put it in slideshow, yeah!! Petra let me know, I didn't see it myself yet. I think I'm gonna join the next wordt too, I feel a new addiction coming ;)


Met de jongens is alles goed. Tristan is sinds vorige week aan het wennen op de kinderopvang en dat gaat hartstikke goed. De juffen vinden het zo'n zoet, schattig kind, dan ik natuurlijk wel even trots :)



Dit is de 2 maanden foto met de piguin (met lach :D)



Eerything is Ok with the boys. Since last week Tristan is going to daycare to get used and very thing is going very good. The y think he is so sweet, of course I'm a litle bit proud then :)



This is the 2 months picture with the pinguin (with a smile :D)

Met Camiel gaat het eindelijk goed met de zindelijk training, hij is nu overdag zonder luier, alleen is hij te lui om naar de wc te gaan, dus moeten we hem er echt opzetten, want hij wil echt niet. Hij heeft de afgelopen week geen ongelukje meer gehad. Pfff dat scheelt een hoop luiers!
Camiel is finally doing Ok with the pottytraining, during the day he has no daiper on, but he is too lazy to go to the bathroom... So we have to put him there once in a while, he really don't want to go. Last week no accident anymore. Pfff that a lot less diapers for us!


De laatste tijd heb ik veel LO's gemaakt, de meeste zijn met de scrap-club kit van april gemaakt. Ze hebben een wedstrijd wie d emeeste LO met 1 kit kan maken, dus ik doe mijn best ;)
I made a lot of LO's lately, I'm in a creative mood :) most are from the april scrap-club kit. Thet have a contest how can make the most Lo's from 1 kit, I do my best ;)

Dit zijn ze:
Here they are:
































































































Ik ben gisteravond naar een bloemsierkunst workshop geweest. Iets heel anders maar wel erg leuk om te doen. Dat deed ik vroeger wel meer, nu nog maar heel af en toe. Het was een verjaardagscadeau voor mijn vriendin Hellen die ik samen met m'n zus Ingeborg had gegeven. Eerst uiteten geweest en toen gezellig een krans gemaakt. Ik had wel m'n fototoestel bij mij, maar helemaal vergeten foto's te maken. Ja slecht... Maar ik heb net wel foto's van de krans gemaakt, kunnen jullie hem toch zien.

I have been to a flowerworkshop (don't know the word in english). Something completely different, but fun to do, I used to do it before, once in a while. It was a birthdaypresent for my friend Hellen I gave together with my sis Ingeborg. FIrst we went out for diner and after that we made wreath (is that the right word???) Totally forgot to make pictures, really bad scrapper... But I made some pictures of the result at home, so you can see it.




















Well this post took me way too long to make, maybe next time I switch to only english or just dutch. I don't know if there is anybody out there who don't speak dutch and likes to read my blog. Didn't do much promotion ;) so I don't think so. But I did see some girls made a link to my blog (Birgit, Petra and Mariska, very nice of you to think of me)
But anyhow if you read this I love to know, leave me a comment!!


Oooo and I almost forgot Petra I saw your award thing on your blog. Thanks so much for the nice words!!! I'm have to get back about sending it through, next time!


See you and enjoy the nice weather (here in holland, finally)
