I have a little surprise for you! You probably have been wondering why am I not posting so often as I promised and there is a good reason to it. I have been working day and night the last couple of weeks on a project, that is nearly not finished and that takes a lot…

My father-in-law was staying with us for a month and we had the most amazing time together! Our best summer yet! And as a bonus the kids finally got to meet him! We all grew so fond of having him around and it was very very sad when he was leaving. I wanted to give…

As you probably remember I wrote about how I started my first scrapbook album last year. If not, you can check out the first, second, third, forth, fifth, sixth and seventh part that I wrote about it. I was thinking ” Well, what the heck, it shouldn’t be that hard”, but I had no idea…

A quick green card for Carina. I just love the combination of green and pink. Since I made a woodburned box for Carina’s sister- Julia( for her 1st Communion) , I thought that it would be great if I make one for Carina as well Carina’s pendant was a glass swirl that we all liked.…

You probably saw my 1st communion cake by now, so here is the addition- the gifts for the girls. This was a personal gift from Kalin, who really likes Julia 🙂 He chose the heart pendant that is in the box. Julia’s favorite color is purple. This is the bouquet for Julia’s mom I wasn’t…

More woodburning for you guys! It turned out these little boxes are quite popular! 🙂 So I decided to make 2 more for 2 of Kalin’s classmates. And the second one: Top view The presents were escorted by 2 birthday cards made by me 🙂 I hope the girls liked them! 🙂
