FFF's may 22nd

Wohoo... It is Friday again, no alarm clock for 3 days... I LOVE long weekends.
And I'm getting my FFF's done this week, I have not quite been on task here the last couple of weeks. Have just been to busy and very lacy with blogging.

1. Yesterday I started my new job at The Paper Niche. Paper Niche is Scrapbooking, Invitation and Fine Gift Boutique. Every one working there seems very nice.. Love it so far =)
They have a monthly kit and a web store is in the making.
I will be working the store and teaching.




2. My new tool... The corner Chomper from We'R Memory Keepers



Just had to take one of these with me home today... It is an awesome corner rounder that will cut through chipboard, acrylic , thin metal and wood... A HAVE TO HAVE item


3. It was so fun to watch the European Eurovision song contest again. I have not seen this since I moved from Norway... Yes...about 10 minutes in to the show memories of "different" ehhh not so memorable songs came to live, but still there was some really great music to be heard. Of course it was extra fun that the Norwegian son won (see ling in earlier blog entry)

4. I am so happy both my sisters and their families are coming from Norway in the end of June. Both my sisters, their husbands and 3 kids each :lol: We will have a full house for 16 days, but we really enjoy each others company so it will be a lot of fun...
We have not seen each other for almost a year, and we are all very close..It will be awesome spending time with them again

5. So we're cruising again in the middle of June, just before my family is coming over. I decided I need 5-6 LB off before I put on that bating suit.. So there has been a lot of salad eating the last couple of weeks. I am totally hooked on the Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame dressing... It is so yummy.

Have a wonderful weekend every one =)

By the way...Croppinsville has 25% of everything in the store and FREE shipping this weekend...Tell Allie I sent you... She has an awesome selection and lots of new products.

Best friends & Having fun

Sorry...not much scrapping done lately...If anyone have left over mojo...please send it my way, it is needed desperately.
No FFF this week either, just been to busy with the house and the kids
Sean is finally able to play baseball, Erik went on his confirmation trip to New York and Jorge and me have finished up their rooms....almost....

The pictures was taken at the cruise last summer. Amanda and Joey just had to have their pictures taken at the dress up stand.

Here I used the February kit from Bad Girls to do ÅD week 17 (C&S use 2 decorative elements only) The Picture is of Amanda in Stavanger Norway last summer. We went down town to the Oil Museum where they have a large outdoor playground made from old oil drilling supplies and materials

It is Thursday

In a little while I'm heading over to my friends house for a great Norwegian lunch. Her mother is visiting from Norway and are cooking up some yummy Potato balls (Kumle) with salted meat (Pinnekjøtt)and stewed Rutabaga It is one of those meals that sticks with you for the rest of the day. mmmmm

Scrapbook Express Grand Prix has started and there is so many awesome pages coming in. Tomorrow is deadline for turning in the first LO. It is going to be very hard to vote.

Got 2 pages done this week. This is a picture of me December 1969. It was a fun page to make with lots of sticky stuff. Gesso and Crackle accents. The picture is one of the slides I brought with me back from Norway.

Winter Child

This is a fun whimsical page (just like my DD) done for the weekly ÅD challenge at Scrapbook Express. Cutting out the motif from a paper and using it on a page. A little outside my normal range of scrapping but fun fun fun

Play Time Fun

I cant wait to see all the great layouts you girls will come up with. Ruffa is in charge of the first challenge posted today. "Cluster/White space" Good Luck to all of you participating.





Vanilla flavored International Delight Coffee creamer ..
I quit adding this to my coffee after I figured out how many calories I was consuming each day, but once in a while I have to splurge


The boys had so much fun at Extreme Range paint ball ranch





HAVE to get my hands on these papers from We 'R Memory Keepers. They are so yummy and a perfect fit for my baseball and paintball pictures. I need these and the new Graphic 45 papers to arrive in the LSS now today

My fifth favorite is as usual something food related..Coffee creamer does not count :lol:
This week I baked Boller for the kids (and me) I forgot to take a picture so I borrowed this somewhere
Boller is sweet rolls with Cardamom, really yummy by it self or with cheese, they can also be filled with cream or jam.

ATC album

Made this album for my ATC cards. Well I only have one to go in this one yet...
