Happy 1st Anniversary

Hip Hip Hooray!! Today I celebrate the 1st anniversary of my blog. 242 Posts and 27,251 visitors in 1 year. Wow! Through my blog I have discovered many great scrappers and blogs, met many new scrap friends from the Netherlands and abroad, and I even found my lost pen pal Charlotte through someone else's blog. Visiting other blogs is a great source of inspiration for me, and hopefully you feel the same about visiting my blog. I would like to thank you for stopping by my blog by giving away a RAK. The winner of this RAK will receive 5 Heidi Swapp flowers, 10 ribbons, bag of buttons, Heidi Swapp damask sticker and a Rhonna Farrer Butterfly clear stamp. All you need to do is leave a comment, and I will randomly pick a winner on December 12th.



Of course there can only be 1 winner, but I will give away another little RAK. The second winner will get 6 ribbons and a bag of buttons.



I have been so busy this past week that I didn't have any time to post some pictures of Sinterklaas' Eve (December 5th). We celebrated pakjesavond with my family and my mother-in-law. We had a wonderful time, and we all got really spoilt by Sinterklaas. I must honestly say I am a little happy that Sinterklaas went back to Spain, because things are a bit more relaxed now. Well, relaxed? With the girls' birthdays and Christmas coming up I am not really relaxed. LOL! I like the December month, but I will be glad when it is January 1st.



Enjoy your weekend!

I am now off to have dinner with my friend Anouk.

Felt RAK

I had so much fun organising my chipboard alphabet RAK in January that I think it is time for another RAK. A felt one this time. You may have seen that Queen & Co. showed their new felt line at CHA in Annaheim last month. Very cute felt and great colors. Here in the Netherlands we already had such felt borders. Actually not really meant for scrapbooking and maybe not as cute as Queen & Co.´s felt, but I can tell you that it does look great on scrapbook pages. Here´s an example of the pink felt I used on a lay-out.



As usual I bought more than I will ever use, so.....I would love to share with you. I have 2 sets to give away. Set #1 contains 1 feet of pink, white and black felt. Set #2 contains 1 feet of lime, pink and orange felt. The only thing you have to do is leave your name. If you have a preference for one of the sets please don´t forget to mention if you would like to have set #1 or set #2. I noticed I have quite some international visitors and of course international entries are welcome too! The winners will be announced on Thursday February 15th, so please leave your name no later than Wednesday February 14th.
